Tn tho effort to improve and beautify, the city, the
school grounds should not. he overlooked. The Roosevelt
school grounds, for instance, present n disgraceful sight
piles of broken rock surrounding the building. It these
rocks werp out of the way, beautitication would be Mi easy
matter, and nominal expense.
It would cost but a few dollars to cart the rock away,
yet since the construction of the building, tho only attempt
to improve the grounds has been the efforts by the pupils
and janitor. A little co-operation should he forth, coming
from the school board.
Other School yards are in fair shape though some need
cleaning up badly.

She was one of the most capable of the many capable exe

her regime the club has grown ill membership and power,

A TALE OF TWO STATES.
A NUMBER or people are planning on leaving the
Rogue river valley for Southern California, under
the impression thajt prosperity has its perpetual abiding
place there. On the other hand, a far greater number of
Southern. Calilbrnians are planning to come to the TJogue
river valley to make their home.
Southern California faces hard times. It has been one
of the coldest, dryest winters known in years. Thousands
of acres of citrus fruit orchards have heei killed outright
by the cold. The drouth has made the grain and hay crop
a'toial failure. Cattle are dying of starvation on the big
ranges.
The. prosperity of Southern California rests upon an
artificial basis the tourist crop. The climate and scenery
have been capitalized and upon it has. the entire super
structure of inflation been erected. "Without the tourists,
Southern California would collapse, its soil and other
nroducts form but a small item in its total business. The
tourists, which like the salmon, run every year, are the
mam dependence oi, me country.
Southern California's climate is not as healthy, the year
around as that of Southern Oregon. For the first year
or so, the climate seems delighttful. Then the blood thins,
and the coinnaritively slight, changes in temperature arp
as keenly felt as in a northern clime. The lassitude or
a. warm clime soon supplants the inherent energy of colder
climes. The individual "runs down." A change becomes
noeessarv.
Southern California's boasted scenery is not as fine as
that of Southern Oregon. Scenic wonders and picturesque
vistas are far more plentiful in the Jand of the Uogue. It
is true the sights of Southern California have been made
accessible bv fine highways, but in this respect only is
Southern California as attractive to the sightseer.
. Some dav, Southern Oregon will learn to capitalize its
climate and'its scenery. Some day a large percentage of
the inonev spending tourists will spend their dollars here.
Some day we will have as good roads. And these some
davs are not so far in the future.
In the meantime, Southern Oregon's natural resources
are greater, its possibilities, fairer and its opportunities
brighter than those of Southern California and those who
seek prosperity by leaving the Rogue river valley for the
parasitic career of the tourist leech in the "land of climate"

Gold Dollar vs. "Scientific" Dollar
.Mr. McCluro invites WliMcr to
quit unking pU"tioiw nnd "to get

neieiitific money."
There ure no facts ns yet about
scientific money beennso it has not

It has been only GO curs since
this now marvel ot tho world was
first seen by white, men. According
to W. O. Steel, a resident of Port
land. Ore., (who has done so miicll
to mnko Crater lnko known nnd who;
accompanied us ou thu trip), the
lnko wan discovered In 1S&3: hut
long bororo this It was well known
to tho native Indian tribes. Official
explorations did not begin until miica
later, l$S3. when tho lako was vis

tho United States (icoloRlcal Survev

bcKan thu first suruy of tho crater
and Its boundaries. At thu same tlmo
W. 0. Steel made a serins of sound
ings, nnd Cnptuln C. L. Diilton, In u
preliminary report, attracted the at
tention of tho American pooplu to
this romurkablo geologic accident.
In 1902 thoro appeared u very
complvto nnd well lllustrntod report
ot the geology of thu district by J, rf.
Dlllcr nnd II. II. Pnttun. These Hclo.ii'
tlsts left llttlii lo bo dono by their

topographers began a now survey u'

work resulted In the publication of a
topographic sheet on n scalo of I to

Certainly, ceitaiuly, that is just what
wo do now. We pay our taxes in tho
money for which wu have exchanged
tho wealth wo have produced and it
represents Hint wealth only wo have
reduced it to it more concentrated
form.
Iiut if he menus thut the ability to
pay tuxes with it would s;ivu it credit
to tho individual, wo ask what would
the state do with it to givo it credit
lo tho Htulo? it would pmbnbly

we would nil work for the state in
order to get chough back to pay our
tuxes tho next year.
