Medford but reflects in greater dogreo the prosperity of the entire valley. Ashland is growing by leaps and bounds, and with her shaded streets, her beautiful park, her paved avenues, and her sightly location, the most at tractive small City in Oregon. Central Point is becoming a business center, building' a water system and putting on tiie ail's of a city. Gold Hill has awakened from its lethargy, opening up its mines, building railroads, manufacturing its lumber and becoming a manufacturing center. Woodville is enjoying a boom and has grown faster in tho past two months than in the twenty years previous. Jacksonville is also making municipal improvements. Half a dozen country districts are building brick school houses and im provement is the order of the day. All this development will be vastly augmented by the building of the interurban electric line, and the Rogue river valley fulfill its destiny, one vast orchard from Grants Pass to Ashland, with homes on every five acres, with its many varied natural resources under development, a veritable hive of human industry.

'A- LTUf EDFORD against the world for cheek," said the 1V1 Oregon State Bank of Jefferson, when asked to contribute toward the Crater Lake road fund. Jefferson is a town near Salem in the heart of the Wil lamette valley, and it might be added, " Jefferson against the world ior mossbackism." The town can be judged from its bank. It is in the rut and will stay there. It knows not enterprise and com prehends not public spirit. The center of rich region,,it is content to vegetate an almost unknown spot on the map of Oregon and its principle sign of life, the passing trains which whistle but seldom stop. The spirit in which the bank has greeted the effort to build a highway by popular subscription and so aid in de velopment of the state diverting hither the great tourist travel is the silurian spirit that has kept Oregon in the rear of states so long the spirit that has retarded its de velopment, the spirit that the supreme court exhibited in its decision invalidating the state appropriation for the highway the spirit of toe hog content to rut in its wallow. Little drops of water that's what Medford wants in the new pipe line. The big stick has whacked the malefactors of great wealth in France. It's up to Ashland grant that franchise, so tho valley can have a trolley line. Teddy's got a new pair of glasses to, spot the new members of tho Ananias club. We're all looking at yon, Ashland. We want that trolley line. Get a move on vou. 1 MEDFORD MUSIC LOVERS HAVE A DELIGHTFUL EVENING AT RECITAL f 4- made tho number ono of the most enjoyable on tho program.
