    CONDITIONS TO CHANGE
Address Delivered in High School Auditorium
Thursday Night By J. M, Fulton
A. G. F. & P. A. S. P. R. R.
Central and Southern Oregon bat un
til recently occupied a position entire
ly different from any other portion of
ur land either West or East of the
Rocky mountain. With land in abun
dance, productive fruit grain, hay or
vegetables, sparsely settled but with
out market for anything but livestock,
which eould and bad to walk hundreds
f miles t market.
But yoo are now confronted with new
onditir.na. 7nur lands have become so
valuable they cannot be used for live
stock and you are now enabled to mar
ket your crops bv means of your rail
road service.
An Individual County or State, to be
prosperous must earn or produce and
ell more than they pay out. The ques
tion V at is oow before the people of this
locali'y is that can they best produce
tfcat is. wrat will give the greatest
return for their labor and land. I think
you should consider carefully wtether
it mould not be to your advantage to
hot and feed 'our beef cattle at home
on your own hay instead of selling them
in the fall and having them taken
elsewhere to b fed. thus leaving your
bav on the ranch without a market. I
figure when beef is at the present high
price and it will never be less, you
would bv such course get about seven
dollars per ton for your hay in the
stack.
Nevada during the Fall and winter of
1911 ft-d about 80,000 head . t b.ef Cat
tle for market: we would have fed
more bay. We must not overlook the
fact that you of this country will al
ways have a large amount of range land
and that you will alwaya produce ther
' from large aim unta of sheep a nd
oattle: your beef will always need bay
to finish for market and for this re-so.
you should figure that alfslfa hay is
worth never less than seven dollars per
ton when turned into beef.
Hnwev-r, if you bav? good orchard,
land plant trees: if potato land plant
potatoes. You are now so -ituated that
you should End out what your land ib
best adapteofor, tbei plant it always
trying to produce a high quality and
if so you neve need fear of being
in want of s market.
You, I know, are destined to bt
great producers of apples, pears,
cherries and plums. You can in a few
years, with 'intelligent effort, ship
thousanas of carloads to a profitable
market.
I hope you have for market this year
hundreds of carloads of i-pplea, pota
toes, onions, beans, wheat, barley or
outs, if so there i an unlimited mar
ket for all ot them,
i i was recently instructed to visit
tha poition of Utah lying north of our
Promintnry and Kelton stations; 1
spent four days going about. 1 foU' d
families located on lands wbere they
had gone down 200 feet without finding
water, some were hauling water seven
aiiJes to be used for watering their
horses and cooking purpoBes but they
were plowing and seeding: plowing in
dustriously and intelligently. They
were plowing deep, needing, rollin? and
harrowing at the right t'me to retain
the moisture in the ground until reeded
for the grain.
Tbey had discovered the way bv their
untiring industry together with tneir
ob'iety and economicul habits were
nuking good and from a supposed
riert these people will, this year,
niatket over 2000 carloads of hard win
TPr a heat.
Ytu I'BAt in Certrel and Southern
Oregon millions and millions of tetter

n,-iij a few yearflwi'l all ue under cul
tivation and producing annually mil
lions of wealth.
The country be1 ween he Truckee
and the Columbia rivers is the
jest part of America left undeveloped.
U;ilain fallow ail the centuries
piling up riches in its soil, climate and
timber until it is a veritable Garden of
fcden and now comes the golden day
when it is to swing into line and do its
sare towards building up American
civilization and making a commercial
part of tre glorious United States, the
konmsat nd beBt country the wor'd
""it -
has ever known.
You have now been brought in con
tact with the outside world as you have
not been heretofore, the ereat markets
.are rear to you and your lines have all
Ranged. You will have to figure on

preparing your crops of fruit, grain and
stock for ft different market and con
sult the need of your customers but
alwaya remember that the farmers best
i arket is his own table. Feed vour
children on fine and wholesome fruits
and vegetables from your own garden
and your own orchard. buy nothing
that you can raise at home.
But this is not a lecture, you will
not care for loo much instruction
from one who has farmed so little.
I hope you wil like the railroad that
has come to you. Please remember
mutual confidence is worth much in
business way as well as making life
pleasant.
Every community needs a railroad
and every one that has none Is full ot
people who say "If we only had a rail
road" but many tmea when the rail
road comes it is different. Men who
can see no good in a finished railroad
are often the ones who called for it
the loudest, but who, when they got
it, charge all their bad luck or mis
management to the railroad.
It is possible hardships will come to
vou even in this glorious land, with
the reports tbat all kinds of railroads
are coming to you, but ce reasonable
with your railroads and I assure you
tbey will da reasonable with you. Tbey
may make mistakes but remember tbat
their entire work is for the service ot
the people and nothing pleases a rail
road official so much as to please. They
have transportation to sell and now-a-days
no one can leave without buying
it. and remember we railroad men will
sit up nights to give you what yuu pay
for. We want you to ride in safety,
get yocr crops to market speedily and
in good abape. You will be given the
best trains the bus'nens demsnds and
as o tea as the service requires. If
you bave complaints, we want to know
them.
The railroads are greatly interested
in such work as you are doing they are
always ready to and do assist, spend
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
annually in advertising the country ad
jacent to their lines, also giving rats
to intending settlers very close to ac
tual cost of service.
The greatest and noolest interest
man can have here or anywhere is to
make a home. The home should be tht
hol;est and happiest spot on earth and
the man who loves and beautifies his
borne ennnot be a tad citizen.
Central and Southern Oregon can be
made a garden spot and it the motto,
"Make a borne," be adopted, no more
ideal place could be found and the best
crop the home can produce is smart and
handsome children, which you people
evidently have not neglected.
When you have improved your farm,
educated yor chi drcn and provided
for y ur o d age, you bave not lived
in vain and I want to tell the young
men that nothing vou can learn at col
lege, no accomplishment that the
schools can give you will make up lor
the loss if you forget the old home and
the old folks. Any girl who travels and
comes home to this vallev with the idea
that the good, honest, hard working
young man on the farm is not good
enough for her, has a ill a lot to learn. 1
She mav see bim in rougher clothes
than the clerk in the city store or the
bank, his trousers may not be as nicely
creased as thoee of 'c.ia cousin in tne
city but heis ufuallv "all man' and
will do in tie to. Not thbt there are
no good men in the towns and in the
Btorep, but they are cnly better when
they do better, and not because they
have tneir hands nicely manicured.
I want to Fay in conclusion to you
gentlemen who sre iipw as it were, to
this country and thece people, that you
need have no apprehension about them.
They have been pntliely successful in
the past: they Mill Le in the future.
They know what they have, what
they .want, and bave asked ua to help
them get it.
I do however, believe that much of
their success is owing to the help
their women folks have given them and
who are showing such energy and en
thusiasm in making this town and this
country so attractive that the men
must do their part and I want to assure
them that thev are not giving us chicken
dinners, fruits and berries without
believing that we will, each and every
one go home boosting for Central and
Southern Oregon.

KLAMATH MAN
IS LAKEJOOSTER
D. D. Campbell Very En
thusiastic Over Pine
Creek Section
Without doubt the most enthusiastic
delrgatea to the League convention
over Lake County landa were from
Klamath. Perhaps this accounted for
by tde similarity ot condition of the
counties, although thev do not lay
claim to any thing like the lands lying
along the East Side of Goose Lake,
While all were loud in their praivea of
the conditions here, yet it nmained
for D. B. Camptell to come out boldly
and atate that never had l.e seen any
thing that looked so good to him as
does tne section from Lakeview to Wil
low Ranch. He in company with Mr.
and Mrs. rJ. B. Hsll traversed that
section of the country Thursday after
noon, turning into all the side road
leading towards the lake tnose who
met Mr. Camtell know tbat he floes not
hesitate to express himself on any and
all occasions, and to an Examiner rep
resentative just prior to bis departure
for home he said : '
"You people do not realice what you
bave here. While I was much pleased
with what 1 saw on what you term the
West Side, yet not until I visited the
New Pine Creek section did I come to
a ihorougn understanding of the great
possibilities you have here. Why, 1
saw land on my trip Thursday that is
the equal at least of the lands that are
selling elsewhere at from S1000 to
S1250 per acre, and these lands I un
derstand can be purchased for less than
$100 per acre, the orchards are simply
wonderful, while the fields of wsving
crain that is frequency as tall as s
man with great long heads hi led with
grain cause one to wonder how such
things can extBt much longer. 1 con
sider it one of the best fields for In
vestment that I ever ssw, and 1 expeot
to make some purchases in the very
near future. There is nothing like it
on any other portion of the globe so
far aa I know, and I anticioate that
you will experience a wonderful
change in the very near future.
"I will pronaby make another trip
out here with persona who are looking
for investments, and I will not only
have no hesitancy in recommending this
section but will urge them to come and
look the field over. I am satisfied that
after once seeing it they will look at the
matter in the same light that I do, and
wil probably invest several thousand
dollars in your valley."
Mr. Campb 11 was one of the big men
that went into Klamath on the eve of
the present wave of prosperity tbat
our neighboring county is enjoying,
havirg been aroriated with the K. D.
Co. in its infamy and later on with
other big ascociations. He is now about
ready to retire, haying disposed of
many of his large holdings at Klamath
Falls and otner points throughout the
county.
NO ACCIDENTS TO
MAR LEAGUE MEET
Pedestrians WereCareless
But All Fortunately Es
caped Being: Run Down
With upwards of 100 automobiles
on the streets of Lakeview during the
week it is fortunate that no serious ac
cidents occurred. It was probably no
fault of pedestrians that some of them
were not run down, for some of them
seemed to have no nesitanry to pass in,
front of a rapidly moving car, ap
parently oblivious to the fact tbat such
things as autmobiles existed. In fact I
it seemed ike some or them were.
tempting Providence, for thev would
assemble in tbe middle of the street
and just about the time a car would be
moviing past they would move directly
in front ot the machine.

Local Firm Remodels Es
tablishment To Com
pete with Cltv Stores
With a modern front and the Interior
remodeled the Bailey & Mauaingill
store certainly presents a fine appear
ance. The plate glass windows with
prism glass lights above certainly in
dicate that the firm Intends keeping up
with the procession, and the handsome
window displays that are now possible j
will attract much attention. Besides
the work reflects ciedit upon the town
and shows thst we are nut so almighty
far behind tbe times, even if we are a
long ways from anywhere.

Railroad Official Pleased
J. M. Fulton, Asst. (Sen. ,Frt. and
Pass. Act. of the 8. P. R. R this
morning left on i ttlvrn trip tor
Reno. He was a good Bard worker
while here and his valuablo assistance
was pron Iment In making the conven
tion such success.'
It Is announced that (Jeorge F.
Kodgera, formerly Mavor of Salem,
and chairman of the convention held by
the Bull Moose party recently In Port
land, Is considering the proposition of
becoming the party's candidate for
Congress against Congressman Haw
lev. Ex mavor Rodgers several montha
ago considered tecoming a candidate
sgsinst llawley at the primaries. He
ws always an anient Roooevelt man,
and had he made the race then It would
nave been as a Rorsevelt man. Since
ioinirg ti.e Roosevelt party, friends
throughout the First Congressional
District have appealed to him to be
come a candidate for Congress. He ad
mits that he is seriously considering the
matter a d will be in a poaition soon
to annoance whether or nnt he will
make tne rare.
Whether United States Senator
Bourne is to enter the Senatorial race
at the coming election as an indepen
dent now remains with the Senator,
tor a petition nominating him for that
office has been filed with the Secretary
ot State, but under the law bis nomina
tion does not become effective until he
accepts. The nomination is the result
of a mass meeting held recently at St.
Johns. The nomination was made on
the assembly plan and it ia stated tbat
there were over 100 present to partici
pate in it.
It would appear tnt the horrid con
vention plan is to be adopted by the
Bull mooers and the other progres
sives, now that the Republican party
has apparently been put on the shelf.
Bullmoose conventions seem to be the
order of the day, and even Senator
Rourne has been named as a candidate
to succeed himself b. an "assembly"
held at St. John recently. However,
the Senator'a nomination is not effec
tive unless he accepts it, which he has
not done yet.
Klamath Kails is in sore distress and
it h said some of her citizen s have
appealed to Governor West to clean
up the town in the same manner aa he
did Huntington and Redmond. Some of
the ladiea of thn town requested that
the Council do away with the restrict
ed district, but the request was turned
down, inasmuch as it was considered
better to. hsve fallen women In one
settlement rather than scattered all
over the town.
