.llnil Trust' Made Good.
CONVICTS FOR THE HIGHWAY.
When Tcrniice Arthur O'DonncH
Cnme vtb. to.wn ami bought the will,
Wo nil allowed, ns some tlo still.
That his was a trust wo orten kill.
Tho Traces ho paid wore awful small
And his prices fer pram most notlrin'
tall.
So some of us sent an urpent call
For a protest moctin' at the hall.
Wo called old Terry an octupust
And called his mill an evil trust,
A thing which we were pledged to
bust
En' wipe right out like wind docs
f dust.
And. while wo wuz raisin' this awful
w din
Who but Terry comes walkin' in,
"Ladies," he sear, and "gentilmin,"
And you could hear him drop a pin.
"You people havo treated . me rite
fair,"
And ho shoves his finger through his
i , hair.
ifhat.mill is mine but I now declare
I'll givo each man in town one share."
We see things now in a different way,
We're stockholders ever since that
day,
No mater the wages the mill might
pay,
It's a blamed good trust, that's what
wo say.
Every city has n wireless connec
tion in Wall street.
r OYERNOR WEST'S offer of convicts to construct, the
VT Crater Lake highway should bo accented and it un
tloubtedly will be, at the first meeting of the county court.
The Crater Lake highway is really a state highway.
Afore than that, it is a national highway. Crater Lake be-
lonsrs to the nconlc of tho United States and the neonle
of the nation .should aid in making it accessible. This thev
win uo wiunn um iiimis 01 ine nauonai pane, uwsuic
however, tho state and county must share the labor.
Governor West's plan of treating the convicts as if they
were human beings instead of ferocious beasts is to be giv
en still further trial m the construction of this highwav. It
is a far cry from the treatment formerly accorded Oregon
convicts to that thoy experience under the present execu
tive. Oregon was long famous or rather infamous, for the
lieiuush brutality bestowed upon prisoners. How differ
ent will be the Crater Lake highway construction.
The Pacific Monthly for September contains an inter
esting account of Governor West 's prison reform efforts.
It should be read by all as showing what, manner of man
wo have elected as our chief executive and whether or not
ho is making good.
Oswald West is a non-partisan governor. Uo belongs
to the liew school untrammeled by partisanship, formula
or prejudice, with a strong view of altruism, and an earn
estness of purpose, a hatred of sham and swindle and a love
of the square deal. He is not snag faced, frock coated and
pompous, but simple, plain aiuf democratic, guided by
homely common sense rather than pretentious statesman
ship. i ti'$i$ '
111 offering convicts to construct the Crater Lake high
way, Governor West has done what no other governor of
Oregon ever did or dared to do. He will be sharply erit i
eised by tho small-minded partisan press for political pur
poses, but such criticism will only strengthen him with the
people who are relieved to find a leader actuated by com
mon sense rather than boiind by red tape.
IN CENTRAL OREGON.
A New York society woman left
her husband to marry a plumber.
Might have been n simple case of
following the family money.
I care not what others say of their
babes,
I listen and knowingly smile,
I used to get Bore when they bragged
up their kids,
But now I'm indulgent tho while.
They can tell lots of tales, but I
have one on hand
That will floor them completely,
forsooth,
And envy is theirs when I idly let
drop
"Our baby has cut her first tooth."
It was in the Medford Ilotel lob
by Monday that a young mother was
having a hard time keeping baby in
terested during one of those puuses
in conversation. She was heard to
sny, "There, there, baby, just look
at thoso men in the pretty red hats."
TN SATURDAY'S issue, the editor of the Mail Tribune
will describe briefly what he saw in central Oregon in a
week's trip, and give his impressions of this little known
empire. . ywijffj.f
Central Oregon is today the largest section of undevel
oped or very slightly developed country capable of devel
opment left in the northwest. It is an empire in size but
utue understood. As its physical characteristics are so
different from those in tho developed portions of the coun
try, there is grave danger that disappointments and failure
await the average settler who attempts to follow the beaten
path of the orthodox farmer.
North central Oregon is oie vast wheat field. For miles
and miles in every direction, for league upon league south
of the Columbia, stretch the grain fields. Over this great
region of prairie there falls an average of but eight inches
of rain a year yet the farmer persists in farming with the
same system used successfully in a country with fortv
inches of rainfall and needless to sav they are but par
tially successful.
South of these grain fields stretch what was once known
as the great American desert, an immense plateau of limit
less horizon of sage brush and gnarled juniper. In the
southern end of the desert the irrigation systems arc trans
forming the barren desolation into garden spots. Into this
legion is flowing the great mass of settlers. But the short
seasons, the great altitude, the soil characteristics, make
the problems to be solved different from thise of other ir
rigated belts. South of these plains stretch the forests.
Oregon's future depends to a large degree upon the suc
cess achieved in solving the problems offered in the devel
opment of central Oregon, of oritrinalitv ;md inwimirv in
making the crop fit the conditions. It is a fascinating
study, one worthy the energy and enterprise of a resource
ful people and one bound to be eventually crowned with
success. . i .. , .jjay
Yet developed to its utmost, central Oregon can never
compare with the Rogue River valley. It lacks the beauti
ful scenery, the delightful climate, the variety of soils and
resources, and in other things can only end where tho
Rogue River valley begins.
