mo SAYS'
GENERAL LETHARGY IN COMMAND
CROP prospects wore nevei brighter in the Rogue River
vnlley than they are today. ."Fruit trees are laden with
bloom, promising a record crop. A greater acreage has
been sown to grain than for many years. Prices oi all
lands promise to be better than for many recent seasons.
But one thing can happen
into a season of famine and
and. early summer rams. It no ram comes, the question
will resolve itself into one of keeping the orchard alive,
not of caring for bumper crops. Our biggest cloud on the
horizon is lack of a cloud.
The seasonal rainfall since September 1 totals only 0'
inches, as against a seasonal average of 21.19 inches, a
shortage of nearly 12 inches. "What makes it worse is that
this phenomenally dry year follows a dry year, so there is
really little moisture in the soil.
The only farmers or fruitgrowers who are not worry
ing arc the comparatively few who have irrigation. .It
makes no difference to these whether the season is wet or
dry they have their crop insurance.
A few weeks ago an effort was inaugurated to form an
irrigation district. It met such a storm of protest from
those who need water most that it was abandoned. Many
who were never known to assist any kind of a development
project worked hard and aggressively against one.
A committee was appointed from the farmers to initi
ate some other method of securing irrigation. The Rogue
River Canal company offered to extend its system, provid
ing necessary acreage was secured, but so far as known no
progress has been outlined, and no effort made to secure
canal extensions.
General apathy is in full command. Those who have
tried to do something toward helping the valley save itself,
wearying of the abuse and villification their efforts were
received with, have quit trying to secure irrigation, as
they have quit trying to secure new enterprises and indus
tries, discouraged by soreheads and knockers.
The Lord is evidently not to be depended upon for an
unfailing and regular supply of water from the heavens.
He has placed an unfailing supply in the streams, but if the
people haven't energy or foresight enough to develop it,
crops will continue to be an uncertainty. Xo one is going
to develop it free of cost to those benefited by it.
Instead of, developing and expanding, the valley has
been vegetating for several veal's. Rut it cannot even
vegetate without water. Yet nothing is being done at the
critical time, when it must be done, to insure prosperity
and avert calamity.
Thirty years or more ago one of the most far-sighted
of the valley's pioneers, thclatc Fred Barneburg, declared
that the best jthing that could happen to the valley would
be a year of drouth and famine, to wake up the people to
the need of irrigation. Ilis hope is likely to be fulfilled
any year. "Until it is, a majority of the land-owners will be
content to raise partial crops, forego intensive cultivation,
and farming and fruit growing continue an unprofitable
gamble.
A year of total failure would be a high price to pay
for needless stupidity and ultra-conservatism, but we may
have to pay it to arouse the valley to the realization of its
greatest need water.
NO PUBLIC CLEAN-UP
DAY IN MEDFORD
There will be no official clean up
day in Med ford this year, as far as
tho city Is concerned. .Instead, all
property owners will clean up, and
dlsposo of their own garbage, "with
out waiting for the coming of the city
garbage wagon. In the past It has
been tho custom for tho city to pay
for the hauling away of accumulated
trash.
Chief of Police HIttson served no
tice this morning, that the city ordi
nances covering health regulations
would bo strictly enforced, and those
who failed to obey it wero liable
to arrest, and a fine of from $10 to
C0 in the pollco court. The author
ities ask that all citizens at once be
gin cleaning up their backyards, al
leys, etc. Several highly unsanitary
barns in the residelnce district, are
under observation, and unless the
cwners take steps at once to better tho
conditions warrants for arrest will be
jsued.
The pollco say that there is a dis
position In certain quarters to Ignore
health regulations, and that trash has
been collected for months. Tho com
ing of warm weather has Increased
the menace of this condition.

Ilogue river valley that has not offi

"I would rather perish or lenvo the
continent altogether than live in it
under such conditions. After this

to convert a prosperous year
that is lack of heavy spring
Squeamish peoplo and converts of
the Rev, C. E, Dodge, who loft town
a week ago under orders from a
brother of ono of his women follow
ers, wero given a thrill Saturday
night by Russell Edmcades and party
of boys who Journeyed to tho top of
Roxy Ann and exploded skyrockets as
a travesty on the prophecy, that tho
mountain was to erupt, and tho val
ley to. be destroyed.
Strango as It may seem a number
of people saw in the rockets flashing
across the sky, tho fulfillment of the
dire forecast, and sincerely bellovcd
the appointed time had como. Some
maintain that the sides of Roxy Ann
have changed, though peoplo who
have gazed upon tho peak for 30
years, nolo no shifting of the topog
raphy. Several residents of the cast
sldo of Roxy Ann wero frightened
by the red lights burned.
It now develops that some of the
women converts of tho Rev. Dodge
wero so completely under his in
fluonce that they resigned their po
sitions to go forth as missionaries
of tho doctrines he expounded. It
was at this Juncture that relatives
stepped In, and the Rov. Dodge was
forced to leavo town. Dodge has a
family living In Seattle. Women mem
bers of his local flock corresponded
with his wife.
The Influence Dodge created by
his teachings has not been broken by
his departure Members aro consid
