' f final Paper of the City of Medford. Georoe Putnam, Editor and Manager. SUBSCRIPTION RATES : One'year, by muil $5.00 Ono month by mail or carrier . ". .$0.50 FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE. Today the Mail Tribune presents its readers with .a full telegraphic news service, having a leased wire, and an operator in its oihee, the only newspaper in the world published in a city the size of Medford having such a serv ice. The wire is that of the United Press associatidjti and connects directly with New York, Washington j Onicago, Omaha, Denver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and oth er large cities of the country. 'Tho telegraph news print-1 eu in me same as mat piiDiisnea m me city qaines, and can be .read 15 hours ahead of the arrival of Portland papers containing the same matter. . v. The local staff of the paper has been doubled and cor- respondents secured in all neighboring communities. Owing to the fact that the office is still torn up and the plant not yet'all moved, it will be impossible for some time to print the kind of a paper that will eventually be pub lished. 5 The Mail Tribune aims to be the best newspaper in 'Oregon outside of Portland. It. can only become so through the hearty co-operation of everyone, and a gener ous patronage by business men and merchants. With this forthcoming, the paper will continue to improve in all lines and become the greatest advertisement possible of Medford and tho Rogue River valley. IMPROVE THE ROADS AS WELL AS THE WATERWAYS. If With the progress of President Taf t through the coun try, and especially incident to his recent visit in St. Louis and trip down the Mississippi river, there has naturallV come renewal of the agitation for improved waterways, "with tho proposal that the government, through the issue of special bond issues, expend millions for widening and nnnno in vora nnl fiivflin'P nr-inni-nor li nninn'a lmvlinvo ut there is a section of the country several sections more vast in extent than those tributary tq the naviga ble streams and coast line, which .would like; to hear from ' President Taf t upon another and' equally important prop osition What does the national government propose to do in re gard to the improvement of its great highways of com merce, the public roads? The public roads of a nation are the A, B, C the very underlying principle of its commercial prosperity. Through them is brought together in the aggregate the great freight tonnage, which transportation systems, whether rail or lyater, must then take up and carry to tho centers of distribution. ' In working out a commercial prosperity, the improve ment must begin, liko building, with the foundation at the "bottom. -The movement for the improvement of our national waterways is a wise one. There should bo loft no possi bility of congestion. No needed facilities should bo dono without. , But what about the feeders of these traffic highways, the public roads through which produce reaches them for iransfortntionl It is not necessary to enter into any argument here to .show that this is an enterprise into which tho national gov ernment may enter, equally with water improvement, at least to the extent of giving valuablo aid to states and com munities in the furtherance of this important project, "without doing aught in violence to its fundamental law. This fact has boon shown. ' It comes, thorcfore, right down to a question of nation al duty. Road improvements will directly oporato to tho ad vantage of three citizons whorb improved watorways come homo to but one; tho good roads problom conies di rectly homo to 75 per cent of tho nation's population, Avhero tho othor reaches similarly but 125 per cent. There will bo no voice of protest raised against tho improvement of national watorways, provided what is Tight to tho groator majority of taxpayers of tho nation as not npglectod aand ignored. ' And all that is needed is but for tho vast intorior pop ulation to be aroused to a purpose not to bo ignored and say: fFor every dollar wo givo you for dcopor watorwavs wo domand that you shall givo us a dollar for hotter roads." xi is a situation wnovo m wuu-uircoioa, Harmonious oi lort means more, porhaps, than can bo conceived to the futuro of tho nation.

STEP IN AND SEE Waltham Watches A Warning V The Waltham Watch Company in order to preserve the reputation of their watches and in order also tp protect the people who buy Waltham Watches, hereby warn every one intending to .buy a good watch, Wal tham or any other, that it is not safe to. lory a vateh by catalogue from any of the mail order houses. Buy a watch from a jeweler or watchmakr er-rbecause a professional watchmaker before he delivers you the watch you have bought will overhaul it, correct any damage that may have happened to it, see that it js properly oiled, and in short, get it running right and keep it right. The retail jewel er's own reputation is at stake when he sells you a watch. It is very different when you simply order from a catalogue, send on the money, and get just a watch.
