E. Crowes on lenrnlnK that ho wna in terested -in Horuo Hiver Valley. Darby Richardson, publicity manager of the Roseburg Commercial club, gives a very good piece of advice to the business men at Roseburg regarding the value of such ad vertising matter as that recently secured in Medford by representatives of the American Progress Magazine. Mi-. Richardson says: "The plan of this magazine embraces i caricatures of the ' chief boosters' of the community. Such stuff is of no value as advertising matter, ami the schemo is a time-TVorn- one, which most up-to-date towns look upon with abhorrence. The community should not con tribute a cent toward such advertising." Of course such advertising does no good to the com munitv. but nevertheless, the business men of Roseburg 0t will probably contribute to the support of the scheme just as the business men of Medford did. The basis of all such schemes is personal vanity, and the knowledge of the solicitor that nearly every man likes to see himself anpre dated-iii print, even if he has to pay for it. Such schemes offer everyone the chance to become "a prominent citizen' with his "picture in the paper" for a reasonable consider ation, and who wouldn't be prominent? We all of us ap preciate ourselves, even if no one else does, and it is but natural that we wish the world to see us as ive see ourselves. MEDFORD 'S STEADY GROWTH. Postal receipts for Medford furnish an accurate barom eter of the growth of the city for February, an increase of forty-five per cent over the same month a year ago. In January the increase was fifty-four per cent. There is no boom in Medford, and never has been any. There is, however, a steady growth, which has continued uninterruptedly for five years. During this period the postal receipts have shown an average annual increase each year of from 30 per cent to 35 per cent, a showing equaled by no other city in Oregon, The banks also reflect the growth of the community, there being approximately $2,000,000 on deposit, an in crease of over 40 per cent in a year. Although Medford has experienced phenomenal build ing activity, building operations have lagged behind tiie needs of- the city. With the increase in population for five years, there has been a greater demand constantly for store rooms and houses than could be supplied, so that no matter what building operations are planned, for the com ing year, they will scarcely be equal to the demand caused by the increased population. COLONIST RATES IN EFFECT. In tho days long uro, bo tho 13itlo relates, In Paradise onco lived a pair; i , Tho man was n picture of juvouilo graco, The woman most wondrous f air. Their pathway through life was exceedingly smooth,' No troubles nor trials to grapple, Till Adntu one day, us requested by Eve, Took a bito from n big juicy applo. There nro two kinds of apples, tho Biblical apple, Tho npplo of Eden, tho onuso of our fall, 3 And the modern npplo, the red, rosy apple, Tho Roguo River npplo, the best of them all. From that day to this, human flosh has been heir--ar To all ills, both assorted nnd doop; For oonscienco awoke, with its veuoraous sting, And has never been rooked back to sloou.

The Commercial club has many thousand colonist folders on hand for distribution, and everyone in Medford writing to any point east should en close one of these folders, which- may be had for the asking. Much effective work can be done by individuals in adding population and capital and in assisting in the de velopment of the Rogue River valley. Every resident should remember the responsibility that attaches to him or her personally in furtheringthis development campaign. Personal letters to friends in the east, supplemented by Commercial club literature, will do much toward bringing people to a country where life can be enjoyed. ' '' AN UNJUST LICENSE. Placing a license of $50 a month upon ice cream wagons, a raise of $45 a month over the license of a year ago, seems an uncalled for discrimination, working an unnecessary hardship upon this plass of vendor,. "Wherein are ice cream parlors so beneficial to the people of Medford that the city government need invoke an unjust tax for their ben fitt It is true that the ice cream wagon" pays no rent, but neither does the lunch wagon nor other class of curbstone merchants. People who buy ice cream cones on the street ' mostly children would not go into an ice cream parlor to purchase them, and the trade done by the peddler does ot interfere at all with that done by the parlor, being'of an entirely different class. While $5 a month may bo too small an amount for.li ene, $50 a month certainly seems a violation of tho princi ple of equality before the law. " And the flash blows?"
