Fifteen minutes after Johnson had knocked out Jeffries the Mall Tribune extra, containing a complete leased wire account of the fight, -was on the streets. Although the Mall Tribune Is exceedingly modest about Itself and does most of Itc bragging on Medford and the Rogue River valley. It Issued tho best fight extra put out In Oregon outoido of Portland, and even con tained more and later ringside matter than the bulky Portland extras. Crowds had watched the Mall Tri bune bulletins all afternoon and when tho fight waa over a large throng be sieged tho newspaper offico waiting for tho paper. A thousand extra copies were sold at Medford, Jack sonville and Woodvillo, and only the -.size of tho regular subscription list and the limited capacity of the press prevented the sale of twice as many copies. Hertford's demands upon a news Taper have passed the village stage. ' City service is expected and the Mall Tribune does its best to fill tho bill. It is enabled to do It because the field is not divided and It receives .be unlt- .ed support of tho business Interests. 'Tho Mail Tribune is printing the "best nowspaper for a city of the size of Medford to bo found anywhere. While aggressive, it tries to be Im partial, and non-factional, and stand for progress. It will oxpand with tho fiold, if opportunity is offered. For a year and a half Medford tried tho oxporJment of two newspa pers. Thoy were failures. Neither could make any money or were much credit to tho city. Then tho two did tho only sensible thing they consol idated, Slnco then Medford has had a newspaper that is one of Its greatest :advortlsomonts. TWO views of tho girl (ho girl just omcrging into wom anhood, are reflected in the writings of two authors, Oliver AVeiidaU Holmes, tho poet of the last generation, and II. Cr. Wells, the novelist of today. Says Mr. Helmes: "Here is that terrible fact to begin with a beautiful young girl, with the blood and nerve fiber that belong to Nature's women, turned loose among live men L wish the girl would go. I don't like to look at her so much, and yet 1 cannot help it. Always that same expression of something that I ought to know something that she was made to tell me and I to hear lying there ready to fall off from her lips, ready to leap out of her eyes and make a saint of me, or a devil or a lunatic, or perhaps a prophet to tell the truth and be hated of men, or a poet whose words shall flash upon the dry stubblef ield of worn out thoughts and burn over an age of lies in an hour of passion." Here is the romantic view of the girl the girl of youth and dreams and sentiment. But the girl of todav doesn't regard herself in any such light. Her thoughts are far more practical. Mr. Wells comes nearer analyzing her thoughts when he makes his heroine bluntly say: "The point is, we're not toys, toys isn't the werd: we're litter. We're handfuls. We're regarded as inflammable litter that mustn't be left about. We are the species and maternity is our game; that's all right, but nobody wants that admitted for fear we should all each fire and set about fulfilling the purpose of our being, without waiting for further explanations. The practical trouble is our ages. They used to marry us off at seventeen, rush us into things before we had time to protest. They don't now. Heaven knows why! They don't marry most of us off now until high uj) u the twenties. And the age gets higher. We have to hang about in the interval. There is a great gulf open and nobody's got any plans what to do with us. So the world is choked with waste and waiting daughters. Hanging about ! And they start thinking and asking ques tions, and begin to be neither one thing nor the other." This is the predicament of many of the girls of today. They learn to think before they marry, and when they think, they grow discriminating and don't care so much about marrying. They find some practical work to occu py their minds and work out their destiny and cease be ing either "toys or litter." And who shall say the world is not better thereby? MEDFORD VOTING PRECINCTS.

Chapter 101 of the general laws of Oregon, passed by the legislature of 1909, amended section 2762 of Bellin ger and Cotton's Annotated Codes and Statutes of Ore gon to read as follews: "Section 2762. It shall be the duty of the county court in the several counties of the state at the regular July term preceding the general election to set forth and establish election precincts within the county. Said court may set off and establish within such county as many election pre cincts as may be deemed necessary or convenient, and they shall be designated by numbers or names; provided, that no election precinct shall contain more than three hun dred electors or as nearly as may be ascertained by the court, and shall particularly bound the same." The attention of the county court is called to the fact that June is not Julv and as the action of the court in es- ImeiiiH." tablishing the precincts must be done in July, the fact that it was done in June might furnish a basis for inval idating the entire election. It is therefore respectfully suggested that the court avoid possible complications by doing it over again this term. The court's attention is also called to the fact that the printed precinct boundaries of Northeast Medford pre cinct are wrong, the description reading: "Thence south to East Alain street in the city of Medford; thence exist along the center line of East Alain street to Bear creek," when it should read "west along the center line of East Main." It is respectfully suggested to the county court that matters would be much simplified for registration of vot ers if precinct boundaries were made to conform with ward boundaries in the citv of Medford.
