It is the aspirution of outside of Portland, and poijulation. Uenerous support uy commercial interests ana ine puonc wm eiiuoiu tho realization of its ambition, and make the Mail Tribune Medford 's greatest ad vertisement. Thnt. the Mail Tribune is appreciated is shown by its steady growth. No pa- ;: per in the northwest has as large a legitimate paid circulation, population eonsid ;; ered. Its books are open to all. They show a record of which any paper can be woud. A newspaper is the best thermometer of a community, when the community is prosperous, the mercury of the newspaper rises. pi- No newspaper can be successful in a failing community, for a failing community cannot support it. Clearing house records arc good; shipping statistics are excellent, but there is no statement that could go out to the world which will so unquestionably demon strate that Medford is growing and prosperous as the fact that "The Mai! Tri bune" has broken all records and today enjoys the greatest circulation ever won by any newspaper in a community of equal size.
