A most conservative estimate will give Medford be tween 10,000 and 12,000 population at the close of the vear 1910. She will have this population if she morel v main tains the ratio of growth made during the past five veais. This she will more than do, and there is everv indication that by 1912 Medtord will have 25,00 nonulation and Jackson county o0,000. n-nA ili ro is Win necessity for mradiner irn false colors.

No fraction ot over three acres ot Ncwtowns ever netted $2500 at Sutherlin; three-acre tracts near Medford did net $2500, and similar yields have been made by many of the orchards When the Sutherlin valley was first explointed, it is said, agents were sent to the Hood River, Rogue River and other sections, and tancy apples were purchased trom these famous truit producing regions. Tins fancy mut was ex hibited through the east by agents of the Sutherlin com pany as Sutherlin valley product. But it is evident that this concern, not satisfied with taking its truit, must also steal the records made by established fruit districts and pawn thqm off on strangers as their own. Wildcatting of this kind is so rank that it cannot fail to react disadvan tageous to the country that sanctions it. Here is work for both the Eugene and Roseburg Com mercial clubs. They should discipline wildcat fakirs, who in the lonj run are working a permanent injury by circu lating falsehoods. It is not necessary to lie about any part of Oregon in order to populate it and develop it. The mere truth is sufficient for each locality, and cannot be improved upon. MEDFORD STRIKES HER GAIT.

PORTLAND, Feb. 'J.-Through an j order coming direct from Chief For ester Henry S. Graves ol tho nation al forest son-ice, the employes of district No. tl, embracing Oregon, Washington and Alaska, are hereaf ter prohibited from talking for pub iication. The order is recorded ui- st has under. which this department takon. Whilo no reason for the order is given, it is supposed that its object is to stop indiscriminate leaking of departmental nffairs, such as tho Ballinger-Pinchot controversy. An other theory is that men accused of land frauds have gained information from forest service officials. Doth Benson and Hyde obtained their in formation from clerks in the Wash ington, D. C, offices, it is said. It is tho department, however, nnd not tho public, that will suffer. Tho order shutting off publicity from nny project in which the national forest service is interested will moan that the employes of tho service will have to exort themselves that much hard er. Through gratuitous advertising given to many of these project a the enthusiasm of the public in the dis tricts affected had formerly been aided largely. Other work, such as tho preventing of forest fires, the organization of state conservation societies and the work of tho department of agricul ture and of manufactures has been Inrgely depondont upon the advertis ing gained through the columns of the newspnpors for success. These departments have worked on foot for the coming year, which, without publicity, will gain them but little and which will undoubtedly be rendered doubly hard for the service to ac complish. That the present order originated with the decapitating of Pinchot is generally believed. The local de partment of the forest service ab solutely refused ut first question to bo interviewed iiX)ii the question, but later furnished n written interview to tho papers. Pinchot was nccused jf talking too much, although much of the talking wns, at tho time, said to have been done by his subordinates, Oraves, tho new forester, evidently plans doing awny with any chance of his subordinates gotting him into trouble by shutting off nil publicity mi mm ine iocai iorcstry ottico has as yet roceived no order that no infnr (nation should bo given out to news papers. Tho experience of sovornl ex-members of tho forest service, as well as thoso who aro now engage in tho work, has been that the publi cation of the work being dono and projected by tho forestry bureau, and the statements of tho results achieved and to be oxpoctcd, has re sulted in a reversal of public opin ion from opposition to support. People nave leaniod through tho nowspapers that tho object of tho forostry bureau is to, save, not do a troy, and that the system will work out to tho benefit of all. Thoroforc forest rangers are not handicapped ns in tho first fow years by neutral ity or nctunl opposition, but recoivo an almost universal support of tho residents of tho section in which thoy work.
