That Daring Capture
To tlio Ktlitnr MnilTrilitme:
Dear Sir: I ult aii would slmvo
someone n little to one Mile to cie
the khu on my fin'" cluniee to cvnp
ornlo (linvo hii-d to uxh it off nnd
finr it won't wenr off), ns it xprend
ii little cory time 1 think of the nr
ttclo in'.Vou'r mwt In ronnl to the
triula mid hardship of A. H. Ilnin
iitond in Viijlurin;r Chnrlie Drake in
the wild timl almost impenetrable
reiielics of tipper Kvnns ereok.
It mnde iiio.t interesting: rendinjr,
ns I nm pretty thoroughly neipuiilitod
with Iho lfvnim ereeJc country, nnd the
Drake family were friend and lioijih
liors of mine for n nuimVr of year
nnd rim fairly familiar with tho eir
cunntnnc6s surrounding the cnVc.
Hut to rK back to the point. I can
imagine how the brnvo mm bold eon
stable is swelling to the bur-tin;:
point with pride and f-elf ctcem in
xclatiuff his exploit to friends and
ncqtiiiintnnocs on the .Jreets of Mod
ford, and thoujjlit ho was some
brave to keep watch over a lonely
cabin in the dismal wilds of upper
Kvnns ercck. But when I conic to
get the straight of the fitory, I find
ho found him in bed at the home of
Jus patents in the Meadows, where lie
had arrived from Weed, Cnl., to spend
tho holiday with his folks, and the
party was invited and accepted the
invitation to take brenkfaH with the
family, nnd I will wager n new lint
they ate ns good u supper nnd slept
in n good n bed the night previous an
nny rnucli hone provides in Jackson
county.
In conclusion, would like to slip n
word of mhico to Mr. Hammond not
to get too far from Medford or
iitiiinuin, or ho will get lost.
Thanking yon in advance (ns I feci
better already), I am, yours icMect

A Farmer's Viewpoint
To the fcditer:
I heard today that there wn
n scheme on foot lo beat our
ftngnr beet factory frbtn being lo
cated in lhia-vnlloy; and it 'rs ns fol fel fol
eows: It is rcpirled that the pro
moters of the beet sugar factory are
in with, or ',wtt of the Itog'io Jhvar
Irrigation c Wi "r whatever the
name of the company is. Now, if this
is a fnci, it w 11 be. lurju'd l,w" ,,ar''

going to Maud for this !?.'0 per ncre

Hecond That they will not hland

Third Tjifit itwould cost tilioiil
Jfllllt) per nc'fc" tv'put the land in shape
for irrigation, and taking the c -t of
tho 'water right and the co-.t of the
upkeep ier ncio per venr, and the in
tert on the whole, it would cost the
farmer at the end of the twenty yea
$.ri00 per n'crc.
Fourth But tliev say that Hip $"''0

were sure of the wafer, as ft good
tunny nt'them have been up ami made

the company was to ngiec to irrign'c

NOT A
AMTliKS'TlQN is called lo tho eonnnunicntion iti this
, isauo ryoin r. i. Sandorsou of ,(Vtlml Point jxivinp:
tho viewpoint of nitm.v faniuM-s in his locality tvuardintj
sininj; up fop snjjjav bcot aoreaRO.
Jn hncf, tho afgununt is that in some occult manner
the proposed boot sugar factory is connected with the
Koguo Kiver Canal company, and their effort to sell Water
to farmers, and that if this is the ease, the farmers will
refuse to sign up to grow sugar beets.
The boot sugar factory has no connection with the
canal company. The canal company is anxious that the
valley secure the sugar factory, of course, as it will natur
ally increase the sale of their water, inasmuch as much of
the land under their system will not grow sugar beets
without water. Much of the land will, as -Mr. Sanderson
says, grow them with intensive cultivation. Tho soil ex
port of the factory is here to pass upon the hind and tell
tho farmers whether or not it is worth their while to plant
tlio beets.
Effort is being made to secure sugar beet acreage
around Grants Pass, tivmis Valley, Sams Valley. Wagner
creek and Ashland, all of which could not possibly be
watered from the canal company's system, showing that
the plans for the sugar factory are in no sense connected
with the plans for tho extension oi the canal system.
The canal company believes that the establishment of
the factory will be as great a benefit to them as to the
valley, as it will enable a marketable crop to be grown
upon the idle lands already under their system. They be
lieve that the era of intensive cultivation that will thereby
be introduced will greatly stimulate the demand for water
and increase the value of land.
The farmers are not asked to sign up for water; they
are asked to sign up to plant sugar beets. There is nothing
in the agreement binding the grower to buy water or a
water right. There is nothing binding in the preliminary
agreement, which merely expresses the willingness of the
signer to grow beets. The subsequent agreement, in which
the factory agrees to purchase the beets anil furnish ex
pert advice is dependent upon tho report of the soil expert
as to whether the hind is suitable for growing a profitable
crop of beets.
.Farmers desiring lo aid the establishment of the sugar
factory must sign up at once, as it will soon be too late.
Thqy iieed have no fear that they are in any way binding
themselves to purchase water, or water rights, for they are
not.
EVERY ONE SHOULD TURN OUT
IX the upbuilding and development of ledford and tho
Rogue '.River valley, the Medford Commercial club has
played an important part, ft has initiated and carried
through to success nearly all of he movements that have
made the country what it is today.
During the past two years the club has not had the
support that it should have, because it has not had the
membership necessary to accomplish big things. From a
membership of over 400 it has dwindled down to some
thing over a hundred in good standing.
The annual banquet and election of officers of the club
will be held Friday evening at the Medford hotel. A mus
ical program and short talks by leading citizens will follow.
The tickets are 75 cents each, and every one who has the
city's welfare at heart, whether a member or not, should
attend.
Lot all forget their factional disputes and pull together
for the development of the valley.
