By FRANK JENKINS.
THERE has been much talk In re
cent month of Improvement in
business, but so far this Improvement
has been chiefly psychological which
la a big word meaning "In people'a
minds."
That Is to eay, while actual dollara
and centa business In Southern Ore
gon hasn't been any better people
have believed that It Is dOINO TO
GET BETTER, and ao have been feel
ing a lot more cheerful and hopeful.
HERE, however, la a alga of im
provement that la definite and
tangible aomething you can put your
ftngera on:
In the pine district east of the
mountains, which extends from Cres
cent lake In the north to Dunsmuir
and Bleber In the south, railroad
carloadlnga for May. 1833. ehowed an
Increase of more than TWENTY per
cent over the total for May, 1832.
That la the first time in three years
that railroad carloadlnga in this dis
trict have shown any increaae at all
over the corresponding month of the
year before.
Aa a matter of fact, they have been
steadily decreasing.
RAHJ30AD carloadlnga repreoeui.
actual merchandise shipped In
and out. There la nothing psycho
logical about them. They are actual
and positive.
The merchandise that filled these
cars, which In this Instance w
chiefly logs and lumber, was bought
and sold, and money was paid for It.
It represented actual business
transactions, and the Increase repre
aented an actual Increase In business.
So, you sea, these hopes of better
business that have been keeping peo
ple in a more hopeful frame of mind
are actually being realized.
HERE la a statement made to this
writer yesterday by a ahewd ob
server of condltlona. whose opinion
is worth while:
"I was in Southern Oregon lt
about four montha ago, and at that
time things looked anything but good.
To be perfectly frank about It, I dtdn t
know then whether you'd ever pull
out or not.
"I never saw a bger change than
hsa come about In these four montha.
People are feeling better, and bust
M i, actually better. The future
four montha ago looked pretty dark,
but now It look bright.
"I no longer have any doubt at aU
about the future of the Southern
Oregon country. You're going to come
out all right, and I think your re
covery will be even more rapid than
you expect."
It sounda pretty good to hear peo
ple talking that way again, doesn't
it?
HERE ia something that may In
terest you:
Three carloada of STRAW are being
loaded out of Southern Oregon for
Eugene Straw, mind you-a product
that for several years hasn't been
worth ahlpplng any distance at all.
because the freight cost woul have
been far too high.
This atraw, which waa baled,
brought 8 a ton f. o. b.. cara.
Up IN the WUlmette valley. Inci
dentally, they burn their atraw to
get rid of It. If aome of the larmera
up that way had aaved their atraw
last ffill Instead of burning It, they
would be better off now.
They would be better off ALWAYS
If they saved their atraw tnstead of
burning It. and put It back on the
land, for the sour, wet soil of the
Willamette valley particularly needs
more humua.
rrHE Wtllamettevalley. In tha early
1 . v, rich
1 daya, to an u.
agricultural district producing, It la
said, aa much a 50 or even 60 busheia
of wheat per acre. The average yield
t. now below 10 busheia. This drop
In production la due to soil rtfBfilng
failing to put back Into the sou
the fertility that Is taken out By
cropping.
let us hope that down here In
Southern Oregon we are not guilty
of this crime of soil robbing that
ht k reduced the productiveness of
the Willamette valley.
