Editor ! Statesman
While returning borne on Friday
evening last from Salem I met th
large auto that is now making trips
between Salem and Independence. I
was driving a spirited young herse, and
knowing the danger, 1 sprang out of my
buggy and held her head, motioning to
the driver to stop. To this he paid no
attention until close upon me, when he
slowed down as he passd. ' A lens
skillful person than myself woold have
had a very serious accident, as I had
great' difficulty in quieting my plung-
ing animal. The auto appeared to be
traveling about sixteen mi I per hour
save when it slowed down in panning.
Let tnis incident, serve as a text for
a friendly word to owners and driver
of automobiles.
The automobile i a great achieve
ment of science and inventive genius,
and has come to stay. It may be placed
in the class with the telephone and oth
er utilitarian inventions. I believe I
speak the sentiments of the great ma
jority of farmers of the Willamette
vallev when I say that we desire to
be on friendly relation with the own
ers of these magnificent and fascinat
ing machines. 1 believe that I also
speak the sentiments of the farmers
when I; say that we believe that some
of you ere not encouraging friendly re
lation with us. Now, gentlemen, shall
it be war or shall it be peace! It is
for you to say. We are in the majori
ty, and.il you say war, war it is. There
appears to be a feeling on you part
that our horses got used to bicycles
and they will in time get used to au
. tos, and that the way to get them uml
to it isi lor you to ignore them so far
as you can and yet remain within the
soclation delegates. Every city and
town has prepared souvenirs, badges,
bouauets. barbecues, etc The enter

The meeting appointed committees
which were charged with the work of
calling upon those of the hop growers

present at the meeting for the purpose
of inducing them to take stock in the
proposed corporation.
The meeting was called to order by

' Railroad Progress.
The construction of the Med ford &
Crater Lake railroad is progressing
finely, in spite of some difficulties un
der which the contractors have labored.
For instance, the heavy rains of the
latter part of May made the handling
of the long- timbers necessary for the
bridges across' Bear and Little Butte
creeks very slow, in fact, almost im
possible, so that work on the bridges
was considerably delayed. ' Now, how
ever, the bridge crews are making up
for lost time. The Bear creek bridge
will Le finished within two weeks, if
nothing unforeseen happens. The pil
ing for the Butte creek bridge is near
ly all driven, most of the timber and
all the iron, is on the ground, and much
of. the framing has been finished.
About seven miles of the distance to
