SPOKANE is a striking instance of what a determined body of men who work together can do in creating a city. There was not halt' tho excuse or opportunity a quarter of a century ago for building a metropolis at Spo kane that there is for building one at Medford today. Medford has got the right kind of a start she is off on the right foot. Hor pcoplo, this is most of them, are enterprising and progressive, and liberal contributors to the public good. But she has only a start as yet, and must keep onj)rogresaing. There aro a thousand things to be done, and the people must act as a unit in doing them. Spokane's fight against the railroads for lower rates is a striking instance of the Spokane spirit and what it has accomplished, and what Spokane has done, Medford can also accomplish. The story of Spokane's struggle for lower rates is summarized as follows by the Spokesman Review: "After 19 years of costly and unremitting struggle, Spokane has at last come into a part of her rights as the industrial and commercial capital of the Inland Empire. "During all that period the history of Spokane's ap peal to the authority of the federal government has been ore of discouragement, opposition and almost intolerable delay. Against the manifest rights of the city have beeu airayed, uot only the powerful railroads and their skilled attorneys, but the solid hostilitv of the coast cities and their representatives. , 'Twice has victory been apparently within the grasp! of Spokane, first in 1S92, when the interstate commerce; commission ordered a general rate reduction, only to be overruled by a decision of the supreme court, and second, , in February, 1909, when the rates on 34 commodities were ' ordered reduced, only to be suspended, pending the fil-( ing of a compromise by the railroads. i "During all that time, the steady, indomitable spirit of, Spokane citizens has kept 'everlastingly at it,' and the re sult is a splendid tribute to the courage and resolution oft the men who have made themselves prominent in the fight for better rates. ' "Throughout the entire struggle Spokane not only ably and resolutely urged her own interest, but carried thef ight for the whole intermouiitain country. The ' Spo-, kane case' was the typical example, always cited in con nection with rate discriminations everywhere and a text for debate in congress as well as an inspiration for strag glers elsewhere. "AValla Walla, Baker City, Pendleton and La Grande share in Spokane's victory. Phoenix, Portland and Reno also gain important points. "The result is the most important commercial victory that Snokane has ever achieved. According to experts, it will frvpntlv enforce its territory. It will stimulate manu factures, and it means that Spokane will move steadily, forward." INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Waiting's History of Southern Orcuon.)

D EFEAT of Jeffries by Johnson places prize fighting where it belongs, among the "niggers." It is a brute's game, and the biggest brute wins. Pugilism is a brutalizing sport. Its patronage is due to a survival, beneath the veneer of civilization, of barbar ism. It has not a single redeeming feature. It is in its decadence, for, like all professional sport, it has been capi talized by unscrupulous promoters, who live by faking the public. The pugilist is a parasite anad produces nothing worth while. It makes no difference whether the Jeffries-Johnson fight was on the square or not. Nine-tenths of the fights are not. There is no reason for believing this was any exception. On the one side is a needy retired pugilist, effeminized by a life of ease, booze and dissipation. On tho other, a ficrhter in his prime, ambitious to climb still higher. The ex-pug gets the cash, the other the glory. The same old story. Like the racing game, the results in prize fighting are usually manipulated by promoters who thereby reap gold en harvests on the betting. There was no indication in tho Reno fight that Jeffries was in good physical form, that he was capable of injuring his opponent, or even tried to. But he got the coin. The baleful effects of the Jeffries-Johnson fight will be felt for many a day through the south. The simple minded negro will regard Johnson's victory as proof of social position, and he will attempt to show his superior ity bv the usual method, insulting white women, crowd ing them off sidewalks, etc. and there will be many a, dead negro and many a race not berore it is over.
