Ashland's decision on tho interur bnn trollov frnuchiso was anxiously awaited bv tho dcodIo of tho Rocuo River vallov from Grants Pass to Talent. Uoon it denended to a lanre extent tho Drocress and dovolooment of the vallov. But tho mosshack um ioritv refused to co-ODcrntc. It de liboratclv smirncd tho desires and wishes of tho entire vallov. Ashland's attitude reminds ono o the Democratic pnrtv's. nlwavs "ntrin" thincs. It is ono of negation. Ashland does not initiate and create, but oodoscs and blocks. Ashland does not develoo. but urevents dc velomnent bv others, nnd so nntac onizes the rest of the vallov. Medford has striven to brine about an era of rood fcclinr between all the cities of tho vallov. Medford has no foelimr of rivalry for Ashland or nnv of the other towns. We are too busv workinc out our own destinv. Medford's Commercial club has vis ited Ashland's club and sent its rep resentatives to the legislature to help the Normal school. It Dnssed reso lutions favorincr the Ashlnud Normal initiative biU nnd its members sismed it irenerallv. It has endeavored to co-ouerate in all wavs with Ashland. So have the other towns. Conse- ouentlv all the towns, expected co operation from Ashlnud in a matter that means so much to the vnllev nnd its future nnd are kecnlv disappoint ed to find that mos.bnekim H11 rules. Ashland's attitude has hurt Ash land far more than nnv one else. It is a stnndine advertisement of the spirit with which capital is welcomed and capital, always timid, will ficht shv of Ashland hereafter. More than that, it is a mortification to the orocrressivo element, for n Inrue pro portion of Ashland particularly the yonne men are cnterprisinir nnd progressive, nnd in time raav win their diseoitnirinir battle ncniiir-t m- LY BI3LLOW "HKKtJSK TIE," "HUNT AND UUOK12N KAIL." nnd WOUNDED HOXCAU CONSTRUC TION."

To the Editer: A recent Issue of the Medford Mali Tribune contnlnod this Interesting news item: "At the couucll meeting Tuesday night a resolution was passed order ing nn election for the purposo of authorizing the issu.inco of $20,000 in bonds for the construction of a series of storm sowers to carry off surplus waters from the western part of tho city." It this bond issue is authorized by tho votors tho general indebted ness of tho city will bo Increased $20,000, to pay which every particle of property in tho corporate limits will bo taxed. Even tho proporty on Knob Hill will have to pay a pro portional share of the "storm sowers to carry off surplus waters from the western part of tho city." The enternrlslnc citizens of "the I western part of the city" show good business ncument in thus saddling off their burdens on other parts of the city. Since West Medford has been so neglected tho wonder Is an attempt is not made to compel the remainder of the city to pay for Its STOCK COMPANY DOLLIVER HANDS HAS MADE GOOD, REBUKE 10 THE SENATE REG'S. If prolonged applause, with so mnuv eurtniu calls that ono lost track of them, is nnv orllorion. tho Athon Stock company, which opened their summer oucuceimmt at tho Medford last evoitim:. has. won a homo in Medford. For threo hours thov delichto da fairly well-filled house, and if this company does not plav to full houses duriusr their en tire eneacement it will not bo owiue to inferior notine. A stock company hns n hard came to buck m Medford Tune and time ncaiu the exporiniort has been tried out. but Medford has alwnvs de manded the best nnd hes passed up tho mediocre. But now will come a fair test, for the present stock com pany is tho best mid it is wutteiit Dollivor disputed President Tuft's advisedly that has ever undertaken ( figures on tho cotton schedule.

"Tho Powers That He" is u strong plav and was written for strong ac tors. That it was so well handled bv the Athon Stock company speak well for them.

Thov tell, plainer than worjls. how medieval pomp and pageantry still survive, even in twentieth century democratic England. Lone lines oX grenadiers in comic opera uniforms, generals wearing ab surd millinery monstrosities, heralds with costumes from the dnrk ages, gilded coaches of a bygone era. kini's and potentates glittering in gold braid and epaulettes, with naught Idnelv about them, nrc shown wind ing their wav among crowded thor oughfares all forming an interest ing glimnso of Vanity Fair. And the dead king is called the "greatest of monnrchs" nnd pulpits resound with his praises, ne is held ran as an exnmnlo to all vot a een eration ago thn world rang with his scandals nd it reauires a great stretch of imnginntion to c'othe this likable, commdn-sense. politically minded monarch with anything truly great or noble.

Isn't I It nn opportunity for the poor kids of Ashland to make an ample gath ering from tho backs of tho pikers .on Main street? Horos are some of tho most rea Bonnblo arguments offered by tho op position to tho Allen franchise: Ono prominent real estate firm opposed the very valuable and much I noedod improvement by the state ment that "an Ashland franchlso was too valuablo to be given away," Two othor real estato firms -waged ohstlnnto opposition that "un iPurchnBable prices would lose them their proporty transfer fees." WaB it a necessary or a greedy grnpplo for existence? Ono individual who has a building under piocess of construction gave as a paramount cause for opposition that "proporty prices would boom higher nnd that Increased taxation would bo to pay." Allen's proposed $5,000,000 valley lino and city system construction, with $20,000,000 maintenance ex penditures, woro froquontly belittled by tho Idiotically parroted "HE WANTS EVERYTHING AND GJVES NOTHING IN RETURN."
