Nothing i the line of scenic wonders surpasses it. Serene, mystical and beautiful, the rock-ribbed jewel of Miliar ?flo,,,B Medltie Cascades' summit is ever wonderful, ever attractive.,! Tuoitor nd Mn..Cr J always alluring. To it will ilock in Juture years an un ending stream of siglit-seemg Humanity. To make accessible this asset, to capitalize this natural resource, in briof to develop it so that it may be the means of bringing hither millions of tourists who would other wise pass us by, is the task iMedford has begun. All know the history of the Crater lake highway, how the legislature was brought to realize the duty of the state to build it. how 100.000 was appropriated for construc tion, how the supreme court held the appropriation in valid, how the Med ford Commercial club started to build the highway by public subscription, how $30,000 was sub scribed, the survey completed and the contract for the most difficult section finally let, work on which is now under way. The Orator Lake highway and the efforts expended to construct it is a tribute to the energy and enterprise ol Mod ford. Surelv no community ever struggled hardei or labored more courageously to secure an improvement of benefit to the entire state. But it is neither just 1101 fair for Modford to shoulder a burden that should be borne by the entire state. Jf Oregon cannot build the highway by appropriation, the state can at least furnish the labor. There is a peni tentiary full of men who must be kept at an expense tc the state. To keep them occupied in useful labor, without conflicting with free labor, is one of the problems of the prison management. No more healthful or useful occupation for the prison ers could be found than road building, and no road the could be employed upon is so worthy of construction ih the Crater Lake highway. Let the sta.te prisoners be employed to carry througl I his great enterprise, to build a world famous boulevard through a great natural wonderland a task too great foi any one locality, a labor properly belonging to the state to the end that,both Oregon and the prisoners themselves may profit thereby. 17 , 19 20 : 21 23.,......, 2 26 ml t ,.... 28 30,,. 31 1,700 i.ii: Mi: 2.20 :,ii 2.4SH Z.502 2.624 2.627 2,661 2776 2776 2776 2800 2860 2800 2D00 2976 .1000 3000 3650 3060 iHMItttt 2796. .09,896 lo 20 3C Where tiO Go Tonight NATATORIUM EXTRA.

NOW that the campaign is over, partisan organs arc beginning to substitute the truth for the clap-traj they have been clanging into the ears of their readers. The Portland Telegram, the vermiform appendix o' the Oregonian, which for so long slandered Oswald West while slobbering over the shrine of its hero, Jay Bower man, admits its hypocrisy and sham as follows: "Bowerman was first nominated in the assembly, ane the assombly was about the. rankest manifestation of ma hine politics Iho city has ever known even in the palmiest lays of the machine. The operation of the machinery was o coai'se that it was perfectly apparent to the vision of j men physically blind. It was the old day come again witl idded emphasis. All of which was so self-evident to the most casual ob server that Boworman was overwhelmingly defeated. Vet knowing all this, the Telegram itself was just as "coarse' !n stultifying itself by attempting to foist the machiiu andidate upon the public. And that is whv the. Telegram had no influence in tin ampaign, and why the partisan organ is not taken so riously. No paper not truft to itself can be true to the people. COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS CHANGING.

OMMIORCIAL coiitJitions in Medford are changing A vear ago Saturjlav, was the big day of the wool unong the stores. Thowdid the most business on that lay. Today, Monday is thV biggest day. You do not have' to soaVch far to find the reason. .1' s the Sunday Mail Tribune Friday was formerly thelay that the most advertise 'iients were printed. Since the establishment of the Sun lay paper that issue has carried the most advertisements Purchasers respond to the advertisements, even those in the country. The motor has replaced the team largely there. It is easy to come to town and the people take ad vantage of the bargains offered in the Sunday issue. Next to Monday, Friday promises to bocome the bar i?ain day. Hut the live merchant .is the one who has a bar gain to offer every day that tempts the frugal hottsewift mikI the hiivcc. In this 'Medford is but repeating the history of othei cities. To get the business the merchant must advertise mil to rj'ach the purchasing public there is but oue me limn the Mail Tribune.
