OUR PROSPERITY DEPENDENT S mrrc nf iln Homm llivnr vnllnv orchards make record yields niul record profits. Wo like to "play them up" to show what this country of mira nni iin. Tho prosperity of tho vnlloy, and therefore oC the towns, however, does not rest upon tho record yields of a few orchards, but upon tho average vinld niul llm nvArncm return of nil tho orchards. If tho many small growers are not making successes of tho busincss.tho nrosneritv of the few will not count. Property will depreciate, prices oAiinnt lin maintained, nnd a slumn will follow.. ' Organization and co-operation among all tho growers arc essential to make their investments safo bv insurimr ndeauato returns. Tho exponeuco of California and othor fruitgrowing sections proves this, and if tho Kogue River valloy would save bitter experience, it Should learn by tho lessons of others. Tho nvorago commission broker is an unscrupulous shark. As long as an effective organization is in tho field, fair treatment is assured, but lbt tho organization die and big and littlo growers are at tho shurk's mercy. It is unrt of tho commission broker's business to see that the independ ent shippers got good prices it helps to break down the organization In many instancos the outire output of largo shippers is purchased outright, lo weaken tho association. Tho wurfaro against organization in its incip- iency is unremitting. Romio river has mndo an oxccllent stnrt. An organization, embracing a majority of tho shippers, is marketing its first crop.. Considering tho conditions, the establishment of a brand and all tho ilifticulties ol organ ization encountered, satisfactory progress is being mndo and good pricos secured a foundation for much bigger businoss. But it is a matter of regret that all growers do not realize tho urgent necessity of joining tho association and working with it 'lost this district suffer tho fato of tho Yakima district this year and lose hundreds of cars of fruit throuch inability to market. More incompetents are attracted to fruitgrowing than to any other business. Wo all vnt them to make a success, lest their failure uiscour ago others and what is duo to personal fniluro bo attributed to tho country and an association will do much to help this class to success. All of us. whether interested in' orchard property or not, nro indirectly interested, for upon tho success of the fruit-producer depends all other commercial success.

(as a party representative; the boss uses and shields him. Leadership Is carried on in the open daylight; bose- lsm derives its main strength from that which is done under cover of darlcness. Hravo Leadership Needed. "Of course, leadership must not only bo brave and honest, but sober and according to the dictates of com mon Bonse. Exactly as a conserva tive favoring abuses and conniving aTcorruptlon is the worst enemy of conservatism, bo tho popular leader and reformer, acting the demagogue and wild-eyed visionary, who incites to excess and whose rash action stirs up class hatred, is himself the worst foe of progress and the most danger ous enemy of tho cause ho cham pions, Progress, If permanent, must be wise, sober and moderate. But progress tboro must and shall be. It is our task to preserve prosperity la the interest of all, but it Is also In the Interest of all that wo seek a less unequal division, prosperity. Mate rial well boing is ti great good, but chiefly as a moans of upbuilding upon it a high and fine type or char acter, private and public." HE present struggle between '"stand-pattism" and "insurgenov''?is simply a recurrence of tho periodic popular uprisings which hao characterized Dolitical historv nnd created noliticnl pnrties in America since its birth as a natiou and moreover been its salvation. Tho insurgeucy of Jefferson nnd his followers ngninst tho stand-pattism of tho federalists, created the early republican party, as tho insurg ency of Jackson later the democratic party, and tho insurgency of tho abolitionists still later the republican party. The insurgency of Bryan and the populists came near creating a new political dynasty in tho '90s, the time was not ripe it was delayed, but the seeds sown then nro maturing in the insurgency of today. These insurgent movements are nonpartisan protests to start with and draw from all parties until sufficient strength is derived to create a new political organization. All political organizations holding long lenses of power become arrogant, corrupt and betray ther truJ. Whether the present insurgency, which is a desire to smash a govern ment for tho benefit of special interests and restore it to the people, will lesult in the creation of a new party, druwiug from both old pnrties, us hinted by Roosevelt in his new "Nationalism," or merely result in the puri fication of the republican party, remains for the futuro to determine. Tho mass of people are tired of both old parties, their hodge-podge of promises nnd farcical performance, weary of the sounding brass of the politician, of the perversion of government for the benefit of the favored few and ripe for a change. 4 ( . A it used to be Evor since tho firt sotiloinont was imulo in this part of the beautiful Koguo Kivcr Valloy, tho "Ifidsiill" farm has had tho imputation of l)ohi ono of tho best i)iooes of land in tho country. Sinco tho first breaking of tlio virgin sod, bountiful crops have boon grown year after year. Corn,, wheat, oats and barloy havo mado record yields on this land. A fow years ago it was purchasod by Captain Voor hics and added to tho ncreago of tho BURUELL OR CHARD. It has been set to pears and apples, tho nursory stock for sanio having been grown on tho placo and grafted with scions taken from selected h'ces of pro von qualities for nuuv,) kvxuius ol I'.xu'ii lancy lruit. xn tins iimiiuov aim m no othor can trees bo "brod up" to a high standard just as horses or cattle aro improved. 4 " ; The purchase of tho Edsall ICO acres squared out tho ' BURRELL ORCHARD, making G03 acres in all. Until yjfc ' last winter no thought was ovor ontortained of soiling "' any part of the placo. Circumstances arising during tho past year, however, mado it advisable for Captain Voor hics to offer it for sale. There boing no indebtedness of . -any kind or character against tho proporty, ho decided f that it would be for tho best interests of tlio community to cut it up into smaller ports, rathor than soil it as a whole. . No part of the orchard is reserved. All or any part of it is for sale on easy tonus. This young block of trees, how over, is considered to bo a splondid bargain at $125 por ' ' acre. It is worth $550 or $000 as compared to similar prop erties in othor parts of tho Northwest. Tt is only two miles from Medford, within half milo of Voorhies shipping sta tion and immediately adjoining a thirty-three aero block of peara that have this year produced thirty-one carloads of fruit. It pays to buy the best especially as in this caso where the land IS the cheapest. fr 3 i PARAMOUNT ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN TJAR AMOUNT issue of the campaign in Oregon is tho preservation of popular government that is of tho right of the people to rulo. Statement No. 1 is the means whereby the (.cople of Oregon elect their own United States senators. The direct primary is the means whereby the people nominate their own candidates, instead pf voting for those selected for them by poli ticians, ij" The initiative is the means whereby the people make their own laws. The referendum is the means whereby the people sanction or nullify the acts of the legislature. The recall is the means whereby the people can punish unworthy office holders. Reactionaries aro endeavoring to destroy this direct legislation. They would restore the election of senators to the legislature, substitute the assembly for the direct primary, restore the rulo of the political machine, and nullify the initiative, referendum and recall. Tho fight on Statement No. 1 is the opening wedge. The assembly is pledged by the Oregonian to "knife to the hilt" every Statement candidate. When Statement No. 1 is disposed of, all the others will come in turn. Shall the people continue to rulo? if they would, they must "knife to the hilt" every anti-Statement candidate. AN UNWARRANTED ATTACK H Tou wouldn't move into a Btora bo email that you couldn't display half your stock so don't try to adyer I'tiso in half-enough spaco, either! Haaklna for health, ENRY J. BEAN, who is running for supreme judge (and who, by tho way, is no relation to his namesake, tho former supreme court chief justice and present federal judge) ncainst Judge McBride and Wal lace McCamant, is flooding tho mails with a circular over his own signa ture, attacking ono of lu's opponents. It is a poor campaign for a supreme court candidate to endeavor to make votes by abusing his opponent. If he does make such attack ho should at least make sure of his fucts. Bean has neglected to do this, and has attached his name to a charge against Mr. McCamant which is not true and whoso falsity would havo been disclosed by any investigation on his part. The dignified campaign of Mr. McCamant is in striking contract with the blatant self-praise of Bean. Sir. McCamant is by all odds the ablest lawyer of the three candi dates, and, regardless of party factions or politics, should bo elected to thu supreme court bench now so sadly in need of legal ability. The Mail Tribune, which docs not seek partisan success, but tho suc cess of the principle of popular government as reflected in Oregon by Statement No. 1, whether it be called republican, democratic) or insurgent, advised J. J. Cambers, one of tho senatorial candidates, to withdraw in order to insure the success at the polls of u Statement candidate. This Mr. Cambers refuses to do, which is his privilege. There is nothing like the optimism of an office-seeker, until tho votes are counted. Then ho thinks, with King David, that "all mon nro liars." Jno. D. Olwell Exhibit Building' Medford, Orogon.

I J U J-. 1JH1 PERTINENT QUIRIES FOR CANDIDATE COLVIG GREAT POWER LATENT. (Continued from page L) , "The power contained in Rogue river has not been touched upon. It will not, of course, bo used, until a market is created. Industries now flourlBhlntf r.t Niagara Falls wore un known thtro until tho falls were har nessed. Ono U80 of electricity which seems to me to bo in demand in this valley is tho pumping water from the river for irrlgatlonal purposes.

Mr. Honing will leave Medford Tuesday on a trip down Sucker crook to tho Illinois river, and down that stream to Roguo river and on down to tho sea.

Colvig calls public attention to cortain qual ifications that aro subject to the in spection, approval or disapproval of the public at largo. Mr. Colvig invites criticism tho moment he an nounces himself a candidate for this high office. No doubt Mr. Colvig would wolcoma any fuir criticism, and I take tho liberty of requesting, through your columns, enlightenment along certain lines in considering the advisability of casting a vote for this candidate. It' has been my lmpicssiou that tho gentleman running for office was the Medford uttorney for tho Southern Pacific ruilwuy, I desire to know if Mr.- Colvig intends as state senator to retain tlio practice of law, uud if such being tho case, he is to continue to handle, as at torney for the Southorn Pncific or any other public sorvico corporation, such legal mnttors ns might bo brought to his place of business by those corporations. It has boon tho custom for sena tors in many states to handlo "with out bias as private legal business" tho affairs of publio sorvico corpo senutor thoy also wore obliged to consider legislation affecting the very corporations whoso legal busi ness thoy passed upon and from whom thoy rocoived monoy for such service. Theoretically it might work out without dishonesty or prejudice. Practically, ninny unfortunnto scan- dals havo blackoucd tho records of representatives of tho pooplo who found theniHojvos opun to suspicion of having represented their cliouts to tho detriment of the publio wel fare in mnttors of state, William M, Colvig, in private lifo, npponrH n citizen very much admir ed and respected. William M. Col vig in publio lifo must either discon tinue his somco as attorney for such corporations or loso tiio sup port of thoso who cannot boliovo that a man can servo two masters. I think it only fair that Mr. Colvig miiko it publiqstatemont Of his iu tcntioiiBMii this regard nnd if ho in tends (o receive remuneration for lo gal sorvico directly or indirectly from any corporation, individual or (firm likely to 890k legislative fuvors then thoso oxercisiug the franchise at tho coming election would wel come that Riuno characteristic fnir- rations while nt tho samo timo as iiosh that diHtlinruJBh tho statemonls found .clsowhoro over tho jttdgo's signal uro. In closing, permit me to comment on what appears to bo a cortain inconsistency in ono of the statu monts referred to. Mr. Colvig says he desires to vote for senator for that candidate (republican) receiv ing tho highest numbor of votes (republican), nnd thereby servo tho host intercuts of thoso who olectod him (William M. Colvig) to his po sition ns stato Honntor. How docs tho judgo know who votes for him tin a Medford enndi dato for stato scnntorT I am some times called "insurgent," nnd might voto for Willinm M.
