COMMUNICATION.
To tho Editors
To "a reader of tho discussions re
garding' county school supervision it
would Boem that misrepresentations
wore Increasing, 'but wo" feel that tho
limit has been reached by Sir. K. C
Fabcr In his lettfr tmbllshed In tbo
idWtord MhII TrlbHiio of Jan. 20.
Mr. I'uber says tho county school
iuperhiteiident could do tho county
more good In tho capacity of (caelum
In tho' rural districts, and cites as an
cxamrilc, tho school In district No.
100, saying that "a number of pupils
residing In this district will pats tho
now school and attend Medford or
Central Point schools for tho reason
of better efficiency,' etc.
WVaro not; herein, supporting
cither side In tho discussion of school
aupervisloa hut Mr. Fabcr's letter Is
a pretty hard-rap at District No. 100
aud its teachers, aHd Is as unjust as
It tB' untrue,
Tlicro aro no grammar grado pupils
Pacini; this building to attend school
cluewlioro for any reason. Mr. Ben
son In tho northern part of tho dis
trict Ponds his ouo daughter to Cen
tral Point, as ho said before our
building was completed, bo feared
having tbo child sit In a new brick
building or account of the dampness.
Mr. Hooft, In tho southern part of tho
district sends bis granddaughters to
thovAdvont school because of relig
ions views. No others attend school
outs-ldo of our district.
Itegardlng the efficiency of the
school and teachers, wo aro second
to none In tho county, Central Point
mid Medford Included. Tho directors
have Hpured no effort and have made
ever)' necessary expenditure to secure
the very best teachers the county
could brodtiee and the most cotnpleto
equipment obtainable, and tho par
ents, of tho attending scholars agree
that their children never before pro
gressed as rapidly and were never as
thorough as they have been during
this school year,

Jcinsj Tho horticultural ami agricultural (lovolopiuout
will not proorod niUch further than it is without water,
"Water will double tho productive eapaeitv of tho land.

posvbkv tho. utiluatioiuoC thoutuds of aeivs of barren
laud It is a crop i)inlueer and a erop insurer upon any
hind of soil. No land is so poor but that, given water and
sunshine, something cannot be profitably produced.
Our clinic, our sunshine, our soil, our natural charms
luro thousands, but tho fact that wo haye not water ovet
our greatest area drives thousands- away. The cui-se of
the -valley has been that we canmwl do mature crops with
out water, hence not realizing its necessity as an income
producer, have failed to comprehend, its value.
Had this boeu a, desert valley, water would long ago
have transformed it into a garden spot with many times
its present productive, capacity. The necessity of water,
being realized, would have brought it.
The only advantage the great fruit districts of tin
northwest have over the Rogue River vullov is water. In
t very other resueot the lvoguo Rivbr valley outclasses
them. They sill were desert wastes until water trans
formed them into orchard belts. Hut their water goes a
long way to offset our natural advantages.
There is no use attempting to disguise the fact that
water is needed any more than that smudge pots are
needed. "What must be done is t'o remedy our defect and
it is a simple matter and lies within our grasp. All that is
necessary is to grasp tho opportunity that lies before us.
Five, acres of the finest soil in the valley will not sup
port a family without water. With water it will. This is
tho problem that lies before, us to make it possiblo for
every five acres to .support the family then to get the
family. This is your self-sustaining population, your pay
roll, your, industrial development, your nianufacturics
shipping soil products around the world.
,A very reasonable contract is npw offered the people
of the valley. The water- right is sold for $50 an acre, pay
able in ten annual installments after tho delivery of the
waW, with $2.50 annual niaintainance.- The contracts arc
placed in escrow and do not become binding unless the
required acreage is signed up, and will be returned to
the signer by the bank.
When once the farmer or land owner realizes the value
of water, he will jump ata-chanco to enhance the value of
his land, double its productive capacity, provide a payroll
during construction and pay for the water out of the in
creased output of products.
There are many water users along the present con
duits who have paid the entire cost of the water out of
increased revenues obtained thereby, and all should jump
it a chance, which in tjjo eyes of the experienced farmer
of the middle west and northwest, doubles and triples Ike
value of the land.
There should be no difficulty in signing up the required
acreage. The peoplo,(f tlie Rogile;River valley have novji
yet fallen down when they setabout a thing in earnest.
A NEW INDUSTRY.
71 IE Commercial club has been successful in bringing
- one 11UW indlistrv in Mi'dfnrd tln IvorimiK- Votm-ln-
ary Co., which will manufacture stock remedies, thus fur
nishing a market for Rogue River valley products, giving
employment to a number of people, and placing goods
made in Medford in every locality in the northwest.
Dr. Chas. Koriuek, head of the company, was appointed
by Governor Chamberlain as state veterinarian and was
for a number of years president of the state board of ex
aminers for veternarians.
The company received the most flattering endorsement
of the committee appointed by the Commercial club and
came recommended as worthy of the respect and con
fidence of tho community.
The factory will bring cash in payment for goods at
Medford, will establish a small pay roll to start with, and
with the exceptionally fine line of goods manufactured
bidsifaiitto extend imtil it wil be a. factor jn. the otv's
