There wero no new developments
today In tho Jlodford-Juckaonvlllo
isllroad dismantling situation, follow
ing a conference held yesterday aftor
nnon and this forenoon by Kred A.
Williams, attorney for the city of
Jacksonville, and City Attorney John
11. Carkln, and none are expected until
alter the hearing, which will be held
hore on October 1G by the public serv
ice commission.
It Is possiblo, however, thnt In the
meantime tho two cities will get to
gether witli W. S. Ibtrnum, owner of
the railroad. In conference and reach
a friendly agreement by which Mr.
Hnrnum will sell the railroad Intact
to the two cities, or one of them, on
advantageous terms nt its salvage
valuo ...
W. E. Phlpps, attnrnoy for Mr. Par
mini, stnled today that the latter
never Intended to tear up tho rails
between Medford and Jacksonville
until after tho public service commis
sion had .ruled on the matter after a
formal hearing, and that be had only
been dismantling that part of the old
logging railrond which extends from
Jacksonville about three mileB up
Jnckson creek canyon, as tills part of
the Medford-Jacksonvlllo.rond Is use
less now as tho timber had been
worked out from that region.
Interviews were given out today by
Wilbur Cameron, mayor of Jackson
ville, and Fred A. Wtllinms. that city's
attorney and former chairman of the
public service commission, telling of
the necessity of keeping the railroad
In'nct for the futuro development of
tho valley.
Crime to Despoil Road.
' "As mayor of Jacksonville. Oregon.
I want to say that If the pioneers of
my city saw fit to donnto 15.nnn :5
ysrs ago to establish this railroad,
I think I would he desecrating their
memories In not preserving It," said
Mr. Cameron. "I nm a native son of
Anplegato valley and havo seen Jack
son county develop from small settle
ments to a country with cities and
factories with nuirket for our products
over tho whole world.
"It would ho a crime to have the
road despoiled, and after discussing
Ibe matter with severnl citl.etis I
know that they will take over the
rn"d from llarnum anil pay him the
anlvaga value. Ho should leave the
rend whore It Is until the public serv
ice commission can bear the mnttor.
"There are several billion feet of
timber In upper Applegnte valley
ready for manufacture, and millions
of tons of ore In Mine Ixidge, nil to
come nut to Medford and Jacksonville
o"er this line. Itatlroads develop com
munities and cities and there . Is
plenty of tnnnnuo available. If Hnr
num doesn't want to extend tho road
then lot til in offer the road at Its sal
vage value and the citizens will tnko
It over I am suro.
"It has cost Medford and Jackson
ville mora than It has Hnrnum, and
nil these years he hns operated It be
has made money, and now ho owes ft
to tho pooplo of Modford and Jackson
ville to get together with them In tills
proposition."
Williams Urges Retention.
"From nn investment standpoint In
actual cost, Modford and Jacksonville
In principal and Interest have over
KO.nofl already Invested In the Med
f"M Coast Railrond." snld H'red A.
WtU'nms. "In addition. MedTord paid
Psrnum handsomely for hauling the
rock which the city used In building
Its streets.
"Now If the pioneers In tho Rogue
rlvor valley of Jackson county bnd tho
s'ncnrlty of purpose sufficient to war
rant them In helping to establish this
railroad, It would from n point of senti
ment ho disrespectful to nllow their
work to bo despoiled b'y the nvarlce
and stubbornness of a man who wan
tonly Ignores tho rights of tho citi
zens of these two cities nnd tho state
of Oregon to wreck this work.
"After n railroad has once been
dedicated to tho public lis a common
carrier, It rnnnot bo discontinued
without the consent of the sovereign
powers, the state Itself, and much loss
run It be dismantled without the con
sent of the stnto of Oregon represented
In this Instunco hy the public service
commission.
"It Ib uniformly hold by the supreme
courts of the severnl states nnd by
the t'nlted Htntes supreme court that
tho consent of the state must be pro
cured before a railroad tan ho dis
mantled or torn up.
"In proceeding as be Is todny. llar
num Is violating the order of the public
'orvlce commission, which has ordered
to refrain nnd desist from further dls-
mn.Mllnff said rond until the mntter
rnn be heard. Harnum has made ap
plication to tho public service com
mission for permission to dismantle
the railroad and It Is set for hearing
on October It! noxt.
Asks Barnum to Be Fair.
"If Hnrnum wants to he fair he
should make a wrltten offer to the
citrons of this community bused nn
Its salvage valuo ami then the people
will, I am suro, exercise this rlxli..
"It Is, nnd should be of great con
rem for not only Is then a great
amount ol' standing merchantable
timber, estimated three billion feet In
Applrgnto, to come out through Med
ford nnd Jacksonville by nn eight or
ten milo extension of this road, but
there is a vast amount of ore ton-
tiaRO In the Hlun edge, enough to
run 50 yenrO that will bo tapped In

In general, deer hunting has be-;
corno , more of a tusk than early In;
tho season, as the deer for tho mostj
part have -moved higher up in tho
mountains.
, So far, the largest deer killed In i
Jackson county was a 185 pound j
buck brought down by Chaunceyj
Florey on Mike Hanloy's ranch sev-j
oral days ngo, which had a 2!)-;
inch spread of horns. Deer on this'
ranch have now become very scarce!
because of having been frightened i
away by hunters since tho season)
opened. j
A larger deer, a' mule tail, was;
brought down by a Medford hunterf
recently In Klamath county, but soj
far Florey holds the prize for
Hlznbio Jackson county deer.
"Agriculture Is sadly out of gear
with the other parts of the structure.
Tho main cause of this Is generally
conceded to be the disparity between
prices of the things tho farmer has to
sell and the prices of those things ho
must buy.
"Agrlculturo finds Itself with Its
millions of momhers freely competing
nmong themselves while it is obliged
to sell Its products In a highly organ
ized nnd commercial world. Now If
the farmers are to put themselves on
torms of equality with the great In
dustries of the country, they too, must
organize." ' i

ganization of ngrlculturo and cooper

of eastern Iowa and Illinois here to

"Fields, mines, factories and rail
