SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
IN SUNNY southern California (hoy are shooting cattle
on the ranges to prevent them from starving to death.
There has neon hut three inches of rainfall this season
and hills, which are usually green hy December, still wear
their autumnal brown.
Heavy frosts have played havoc with the orange crop
both this winter's crop and the next season's, Growers
face a water shortage and water famine high' expendi
tures small incomes. . Mm
To fill the cup of gloom, the tourist crop the main sup
port of the country litis been only half the normal, hard
times east having cheeked the stream of money dropping
travelers.
But the patriotism and
such that none oL this bad
press dispatches carry only
torina. Jt is only by word ot mouth or by correspondence
that the truth leaks out.
In public spirit southern California is a model for the
world. It would have the world always believe that its
business and commercial skies are as blue as the heavens
above it that the sun always shines in material as well
as physical affairs.
This is written to contrast conditions in southern Cali
fornia with those in the "Rogue river valley and the con
trast in natural advantages is always with the Roguo river
valley section.
Barring two or three months when the rain that south
ern California always needs so badly, is falling here, there
is as much sunshine here as in California. There is less
monotony and more variety
but these are as much needed to keep the human body in
healthy condition as to keep the landscape beautiful and
they give the valley a charm
Tt is far easier to make
valley than it is in California,
tion. The soil is more fertile
tainty. It is not necessarv to
anything at all, though it every one utilized water as it
should be utilized, returns would be as sure as the sun is
to rise and water shortage a thing impossible.
In picturesqueness, in liatural wonders, in attractive
ness, in resources, in productivity, in health, the Rogue
river far excels southern California. Hut southern Cali
fornia has systematically exploited its advantages and
developed its resources and the Rogue river valley litis
only begun to do likewise. '
The writer of this lived, in southern California seven
years and knows whereof he writes.
THE RAILROAD'S
SOME time since the Southern 'Pacific published a
booklet devoted to poultry raising.
In the demonstration trains operated by the railroad
the poultry industry forms an important feature.
In brief, every effort has been made and is being made
by the railroad to induce people to embark in the poultry
business. These efforts have been backed up heartily by
the various commercial clubs and the country press.
As a result, hundreds of people are going into the
poultry business. There is room for an unlimited num
ber. ,'lhe Rogue river valley now supplies home consuinrT
tion and is rapidly becoming an exporter and as such will
in a few years, with this one product, turn the balance of
trade in its favor.
If Petaluma cau export millions of dollars' worth of
eggs and poultry a year, so can the Rogue river valley
towns. But to do it profitably, the railroad must make
a rate whereby the eggs can be shipped to Portland and
still leave a profit for the fancier.
Having helped create an industry, the railroad must
help it exist, both for its own profit and for the prosperity
of the country upon which the railroad depends for its
own prosperity.
The present rate to Portland is 53 cents per box. There
is no reason why a box of
.QUO miles to New York ior oO cents and a greater sum
demanded for hauling a case of eggs .'500 miles. More
over, it is impossible to ship eggs by freight, for there is
no telling how long they will be in transit or how much
shaken up when they do arrive. The last freight, which
runs upon a regular schedule, will not take freight at
Medford.
it costs 99 cents a case to ship hy express .to Pork
land an absurd figure, and one which renders competi
tion with poultrymen near the metropolis almost impos
sible. Of course the railroad does not fix express rates,
but the poultrymen should begin proceedings before the
state commission to secure a lower rate at once.
J lore is a practical opportunity for the railroad to
really encourage tho poultrv industrv. cut the rate on
eggs and handle them upon
u me.
