COMMUNICATION.
J To the Kditer: In the loenMmd
lerMnnl column of a recent issue
of tho Mail Tribune I notice mi item
which would lead tho innocent reader
1,0 believe thnt Welhorn Hecson
of Talent who Ipis just retired
stayed in the htiMuc till till bill
hud stayed in tho gamo till all hut
three D. It. Hill, 0. A. Hover nnd
Alf Weeks of the oldtimciv, hud
efoher died or quit '" i'niit Iiiimiicms.
Tho article slates that Mr. JJecson
had been in the nursery bu-ines just
ten years. I, too, began to raise
trees; on a commercial scale that
samo fall though I had done consid
erable nursery work here in tho val
ley fr ten years before I began to
raise trees foi tho commercial plant
ings mid there are trees in the val
ley today of my own growing that
wero pluntcd twenty years ugo this
-fall, and there are people in the vul
liy that were busy raising fruit nt
that tiaio and arc still in the game.
, It is true that most of the nctivo
fruit growers of ten years ago have
turned over their property in ex
chnngo for the tempting gold of the
new comer but I can give tho Mail
Tribune tho names of several orchard
men who nre still in tho gatno that
wpro raising fruit when Mr. IJecsou
lipgan raising trees ten yenrs ago,
nnd even several years beforo that
date.
I put in 20,000 grafts tho samo
season Mr. Dceson began growing
trees and linu a ten aero orcimni in
hearing. 1 sold the orchard four
years, ago.
If you will turn back tho pages of
history yon will find that most of
this cliango in property has taken
plnco duiing the lust live years, how
over, jhuro aro pcvernl beside tho
tiireii mentioned above that uro busy
today growing trim in our lavored
Jijllu valley thnt wpro just as busy
looking after their orchard's ten
years ago, and I will juKt mention n
fw names: J, 0. flore, A. W. Mo

tho l7t)ttP(l fSlatoH t'nvrios with it oiuMiui'tiKoiuonf to tho
ndvoontos of ftHloral aid in highway improvoniont, in tho
opinion of offifinta of tho Atnorioan Antomotiilo nsMnoin
lion and other hodics who aro on-operating with it in tho
work to ro-ostahlish tho polioy of mad hnilding jh otio of
tho fixed and definite policies of tho national govonnnotit.
PrtNident-oloet AVilson. in many puhlio addresses,- has
oioetl his helief in tho wisdom of national improvoniont
of means of communication, and particularly of roads, to
which ho specifically referred in his address at the .Amer
ican Road congress at Atlantic City, on that occasion say
ing, among other things:
A nation H bound together by Itn means ot communication; and Us
means of communication create Its thought.
Wo innat moro nnd moro ctiRago tho government In providing the gen
eral facilities of the common life. Thorc Is no breach In that of any nt our
older understandings ot tho functions of government. Wo hnvo uovor
doubted that tho government had the right to supply these facilities which
private endeavor has never yet been expected to supply. Therefore we
aro not upon a now ground of theory; wo aro morcly upon n now ground of
tactics.
"The question of highways la one of tho few great Instrumentalities of
our public and our comtniina) life with which the goernment Is of necessity
connected. 1 seo that we must do what we have boon backward lit doing n
compared with nations.
' I tell you frankly my Interest In good roads Is not merely an Interest
In the pteasuro of riding In automobiles. It Is not merely an Interest In tho
much more Important matter of affording rarmors of thN country and resi
dents In villages means ot ready access to such neighboring markotB as thcy
need for economic benefit, but It Is also tho Interest In weaving as compli
cated nnd elaborate n net of neighborhood and state nnd national opinion
togothcr as It Is poilhlo to weave. It Is ot the most fundamental Import
ance thrlMio Tnltcd States should think In big plcces.shoiitd think together,
should think ultimately as a whole, and I feel in my enthusiasm for good
roads something of the old opposition that thero always has been In me to
any kind ot sectional feeling.
"I ballovo that it Is tho proper function of tho government to sou to tt
that the extension of all the varied modern knowledge about characteristics
of different soils ought to be so extended. o carried everywhere to tho far
mer as to build up by the aid of the goernmcnt this thing that feeds us, and
ought to eoirlnuo to feed tho world, and whenever you speak of that, when
over you Increase what tho United States Is doing, you must Immediately
Increase tho facilities of tho United States for handling what It has made
after It has made It You cannot rationally Increaio the prosperity of this
country without Increasing tho road facilities of this country."
Jn view of these expressions, the feeling among federal
aid advocates is that there should lie little delay in ohtain
ing from congress the adoption of a coniprclipiisivc ami
iiuiiiiiui jjiuu iur iiiiLioiiiu i;ii iiri,iuoii iii iiicgooti roans
movement on a more extensive scale than has heretofore
heen contemplated.

very quiet and unassuming hid and
vvjint hu had to say of himself and
his coining bout could he written on
tho hack of a poslnxo stnmn.
"Itnbe" preferred to let the Tom
Jones of the camp "Itqwhidp Kelly"
do nil tho kpioling, and Kelly did. Ik-
is some couvcrsationaliht, and rclnt-
ed incidents from Habo's first bout
to the recent WqlRnst-Hitcliie battle
to which IJahc and himself were s.mjc
tator. Kelly docs not think Wo-
gnst was iu tho best of shape as he
did not seem to have his iiuiial dash.
When asked us to what he thought
of Dabc's chances ugninst tho Van
couver whirlwind, Kelly said: "I did
not come up to Medford iiudor-eti-mating
Anderson, for I have heard
good reports of his boxing ability,
niul if he can defeat Hahe. wbll ho
can also bent tho hent of lliein."
That Picato is a bijr drawing card

MEDFORD TO PLAY
:? . s
The football season In southern
Oregon will close tomorrow when
tho Medford high school clashes
With tho Albany high school
at tho ball park Jo tho gamo that
will dccldo tho championship of tho
Willamette valley and southern Or
e,gon. If Medford wins, which they
havp high hopes of doing, It, will re
move much of the stlng'of the two
last defeats at the hands of Ashland
and Grants Pass. Tho game will bo
called at 3 o'clock.
Medford football fans had oppor
tunity 3aturday to get n line on the
team from tho north when they beat
Ashland 2G to 1.1. Ashland mado
tho visitors play uphill most ot tho
time, but this was po drawback.
They made as many scores ono way
as the other and outclassed the Ash
land team at every stage of tho
game. Tho Albany tenm Is consid
ered ono of tho strongest teams in
tho stato.
The Albany gamo tomorrow prom
ises to be tho biggest of the year,
with practically every school In the
city represented by a largo delega
tion ot rooters. Ycllmastcr John
Hunter will have his gang out on
tho sidelines Tuesday with a new as
sortment of songs, etc., for tho Med
ford team.
Inasmuch as tho high school has
been to considerable expense this
Beason and aro slightly In debt, It
behooves every lover of good sport
and supporter of school enterprises
to bo present at tho gamo Tuesday
and give tho team a c bunco to close
the season with tho books balanced.
Almost from tho start the high school
encountered hard luck, through loss
of star playors by Injury or other
wlso, and a team that was weakened
Is now showing somo ot Its true
form, as evidenced by tho gamo
against tho alumni turkey day,
