WILLIAM J. SCOTT.
Central Point, Juno 10.
Xecd of Xew Bridge.
That Mcdford needs a new bridjio
nnd needs it hadly is the concensus of
opinion of tlto-c who have occ:imoii
to use it most. Ileinj; in the Taxi
cab and touriuj; car business, my
curs hayc occasion to cross Uc pres
ent bridge many"iii)ie.s every day.
Quite frequently travel is so heavy
lliat the bridge is Mocked and one
lias to wait 4'or clearance. The
bridge is so narrow that one has
barely two feet play in passing, and
it is a wonder how serious accidents
have been avoided. Then again it i
unsafe for our Heavy automobile
trucks to cro.is londed to their full
capacity. It is safe to say thut thin
bridge is used more than five hun
dred times greater than any other
bridgo in tho county, and the traffic
is increasing nt n fast rate, especially
so since the P. & E. It. It. have es
tablished their depot on the east side.
In wanting a new bridge, Medford
is asking for very little according to
our population and the amount of
taxes we pay. Med ford always
stands for progress nnd contiiiually
in favor of granting improvements
to oilier parts of the country, that
would benefit the people in that par
ticular (.ection.'
Hoosting.r-Ve, are boosting all the
time, we have spent thousands of
dollars for booMing in the last eight
years. ' Our boosting has been an in
direct benefit to every one in Jackson
county and more especially the laud
owners, lloostiugund natures natural
advantages have brought untold
wealth to our valley. People with
money have invested hero inul after
wards iuvsted u large amount of
money on improvements. I only
mention this to show thai investors
of capital, hero expect Jnckson county
to keep abreast with the tunes.
The Potter Palmers are at tho
present tiim) expending twenty-five
thousand dollar on improvements,
and that too on a ranch that only .i
few years ago Mr. Uowcrs held a
mortgago on for nineteen thousand
dollars. Mr. Carlton sold his ranch
for more ihaii thirty thousand dollai'n
when a few years ngo six thousand
would hnvo been a big price. Some
more of Medfoid's advertising. Only
a short time nj,'o Mr. J lowers owned
properly in another part of the slate
and ws continually having trouble
with the county. of ficiuls,
sNov I, for ono, do not want u self
appointed guardian for the county
who says ho is trying to save the tax
payers from expending twenty thous
and dollars by an injunction, when,
if ho would hnvo begun injunctions
earlier, would have saved the county
over four hundred thousand dollars.
Why all this sudden interest for
tljo tax payers by Mr. Ilowers? Js
it because Mcdford wants something,
or bus ho some ax to grind 1 1 would
like to henrt froin others who have
occasion to "use tun present bridge.
I am sure ono and nil are in favor of
the proposed new bridge,
COUJif IIATJ..
A GREAT VICTORY FOR MEDFORD.
nplllS community owes a groat lebtto f lulled ford Traf-
fit Bureau, which has affected a material reduction
in railroad rates, not only for .Mcdford but for all Southern
Oregon.
When the Traffic Bureau began its campaign three
veal's ago for a reduction in rates, for the removal of un
just discriminations, for an equalization in tariffs propor
tionate to what other localities were paying, its efforts
met bitter opposition, but a small percentage of the com
munity supporting it. During the veal's since it has con
ducted a winning fight all along the line, and aroused the
other towns to co-operate.
"By its cases before the state railroad commission rates
have twice been reduced from Portland ami now average
10 per cent less than when the fight began. By its cases
before (he Inter-State Commerce Commission, it has just
secured reductions from San .Francisco and California
points, and distributive rates from Mcdford to Northern
California points. Other cases are ponding to secure
Mcdford the benefit of terminal rates from eastern points.
The MedfortLTraffie Bureau saw the necessity of un
dertaking this campaign in order to enable Medford to
become a jobbing and distributing center. Xo work done
l3 any organization, not even barring the Commercial
dub. jncans more to the future of this section than that
undertaken by the bureau, which should receive the
financial support and assistance of tho entire community.
hen its program is completed, every large jobbing house
will have to establish a branch hero and distribute to
Southern Oregon and Northern California from Mod lord.
The bureau has an initiative petition that it is cir
culating for signatures for a bill establishing uniform
freight rates on a proportionate mileage basis in Oregon.
This will abolish the discrimination existing in favor of
Portland and enable Medford and everv other citv to
ship as cheaply to Portland as Portland can ship to it.
This bill must become a law if the small towns of Oregon
are to he given a chance to develope. The bureau needs
funds to help pay for circulating this bill, Help by con
tributing. The victories already scoured bv the Traffic Bureau
are duo in no small degree to its rate, expert, Frank 11.
Cune of Portland, whose masterlv handling of the cases
and whose comprehensive exhibits have been compliment
ed by tho Inter-State Commissioners, lie won the Spokane
and Reno rate cases, the "Wool Growers rate case and sev
eral others, and is without question, the best posted rate
expert in the west.
HEALTHFUL SIGNS.
INTERIOR farming is being practiced more extensively
in the Rogue River Yallev todav than ever before. As
yet only.a -small. percentage of the available, area. is thus
utilized, bur with the extension of tho irrigating system
a great change will come.
The effect is already marked. Instead of having to
send out money to secure produce wo are beginning to send
out produce to secure money besides consuming our own
production.
It is a healthy sign of the times and the most promis
ing prospects that we face. A year ago at this time., sev
eral carloads of eggs had been shipped into the Rogue
River valley. This year Mcdford alone has already
shipped out two cars. of eggs and as much more in smaller
shipments.
Last year 43 cars of vegetables and fruit were shipped
into the valle', not to mention daily consignments, by ox
press. There was no encouragement for the farmer to
raise vegetables, for grocers would not purchase his pro
ducts. This year the Mcdford public market opens the
way for him to dispose of what he raises, and the co-operation
of the Southern Pacific has provided a special re
frigerator car three times a week for produce shipments
to Portland to enable the grower to market his surplus.
Last year 8-1 cars of potatoes and onions were
shipped into the valley, despite the fact that the finest
onions on the coast are raised hero and our potatoes equal
to tiny grown. Those who planted potatoes last year made
ji fine profit, yet did not begin to supply the demand.
Double the acreage has been planted this year, and with
irrigation, potatcs are always a most profitable crop. The
valley instead of importing'Sl cars, ought to be exporting
a thousand ears of potatoes from its idle land alone.
A year ago 225 cars of hay were imported and 02
(til's exported, 10! cars shortage of local demand. Im
ports of oats and barley totaled 48 cars, of flour and feed
432 cars. In spite oi si Javorablo year and increased
acreage, the local production of these staples will fall far
short ot the local demand. Idle hind can be made to
produce this shortage with several hundred cars for ex
port, but irrigation is necessary to insure crops in un
favorable years.
Nature has done too much for the Rogue River val
ley, if the soil was less fertile, we would scratch it hard
er and make it yield more. If the climate was more
arid, we would appreciate better the value of water and
double our output. If we didn't have a home .market we
would be striving to raise jn'Oflucc for both home and
foreign markets.
Fruit should not be the only resource of the horticul
turist. He should aim to make other crops, his vegetables,
berries, corn, hay and produce, his cows, poultry and boos
pay all the expenses of the family itind'Hiaintonaiice. of the
orchard, so the fruit proceeds will be "velvet." It is done
pn some orchards now and can bo done on every orchard
with water. h !&
"When we tire exporting a surplus of nvovy crop pos
sible to raise, when our idle lands tire utilized by produc
ers instead of by speculators, when these conditions shall
havo heon realized by the extension oi the irrigation sys
tems, the Rogue River valley will be the most prosperous
section in the entire nation and national panics can come
and go without disturbing its prosperity.
