FAIR PHEBIA WEDS
SAVING LOVERFROM

EM
PRISON
Phehin Witherill, sicMlnuhtvr of
Arthur (Hill) Wnlsli, was married in
the. county clerk's office nt Jack
sonville this morning by Justice Dux
lo Tom Hampton, held to the grand
jury on n statutory cltnrRe, ngninst
'the irl now his wife. Tho ceremony
nicoiw tlmt the ehnrKC will be dis
missed, niMhcW grants that n wife
in not Imuud to testify against her
liusband. It !.. precludes the pos
sibility of Phcbia "tiitiK to the re
form scliod.
The couple were liklin'vo boon wed
ded Thursday, but afotfSnllie Walsh,
the mother, vliuiigcirtjicr mind about
K'vinj: her consent uulhe lust min

mind nud this morning -l;Msed the.
KTOoni when tho knot was'"tiedv
Hampton was known as muf jvn
arrested under tho name of Wittrbut
in tho application for the mnrrijj-jo
license gave it as Hampton. The'uV-
vclopmcuts today will be no halm Afj
uilead to the souls of nval suitors
for the hand of Vhcbin, and who
have been uctirc.n sreurin? evidence
iipiiiMJitnK
TAcaffuirs of the heart of I'hebia
liavo been ImipeMoin. Last sum
mer a man by the name of Nice com
mitted suicide for love of her. Her
age is as much of a problem as Ann's.
Friends of the family say she is 'JO,
the family Ilible says 15.
ACCORDING to the United Kink census report, out
of tho (it, 000,000 acres ol hind in Oregon, IKS per cent
is available tor (illod crops, .'12 percent lor non-tilled agri
culture ami 110 per cent is non-agricultural.
Ut the total acreage ot the state, hut l per cent it under
cultivation. Of the J8 per rent available for tillage, but
JO per cent is utilized. Kor each acre tilled, there tire
10.: J acres available tor cultivation, and that must be tilled
before Oregon shall reach development the state will ulti
mately realize.
In common with the rest of the state, Jackson county
needs more people who will work the earth. A large per
centage ol the available tumble laud ot the county is idle.
A considerable portion in the heart of the valley, suitable
for intensive cultivation, is either carelessly farmed or
idle. All of it should be under cultivation.
The problem that the valley must solve is the placing
of men with small capital on small tracts secured at reas
onable prices on easy terms. There are few such oppor
tunities they must be provided. It we can populate the
valley with a sufficient quantity of industrious small
funnel's, other classes will come, as a matter of course.
The great curse of the valley, as of all other sections,
is the speculator, who holds land idle and prevents devel
opment in order to reap an unearned profit. Speculators
tie up the timber lauds and prevent manufacture. They
grab the choicest areas of the valley and hold them idle.
Doing nothing to develop, they retard development by
those who would, if given opportunity.
Some way must be found to place the man with only
his' industry as capital on the idle land and let him work
out his own salvation and that of the valley. This prob
lem is as important as any before the public and demands
a solution before the vallev can come into its own. There
will always be a large percentage of idle land until some
solution of the problem of bringing the man and the soil
together bv eliminating the speculator is worked out.
