TllM census Durcau litis ill Oregon above 5000 population. Besides Portland, they are six in number, but Medford lends all in percent age of increase. Ten vears hns seen Salem increase from '1258 to 14,094, .Astoria from 8381 to 9599, Eugene from I12.)6 to 9009, linker City from GGG3 to 6742 and Medford from 1791 to 88'iO, Ashland from 2().34 to 5020. ' Medford 's percentage; of increase is, 1393.5 per cent, Bug(,iKl,s is 178.4 per cent, Salem's is 230 per cent, Ash- Innd's is 90.5 per cent. Medford lends all cities of America in growth except Oklahoma City. Albany, (1 rants Pass, Pendleton, La Grande, Roscburg, The Dalles and Oregon City are not yet in the 5000 class, or if they should be, have not had the energy and patriot ism to see that their enumeration was correct. Medford ranks fifth among the cities of Oregon. She is topped by a narrow margin of a few hundred by Eugene and Astoria. She is growing faster and making grenter progress than any of them, and another live years will sec Medford the second city in the state. Medford will rank second because her citizens have willed that she should, because she has the enterprise and energy and the geographical location and natural resources to make her. Situated in the greatest I nut belt in the world, surrounded by a territory rich in mineral -and tim ber wealth, located' half way between Sacramento and Portland, the western terminus of the Hill railroad sys tem and the natural distributing center of an inland em pire, the most metropolitan and cosmopolitan small city in the world litis just entered a career oT growth that the development of her tributary territory justifies in predict ing for her a glorious future. Nineteen hundred and fifteen will see Medford a city of 25,000, and before another federal census is taken her commercial and industrial supremacy will be recognized throughout the west. QUEEN OF THE MOULIN ROUGE. BECAUSE the humdrum and workaday life of the avcr ii rn mart nl ltnlrls! lit! In of llw Kmm.'it innnl. nerforni- nnces like that of the "Queen of the Moulin Rouge," ex tensively advertised as a glimpse of the underworld of Earth's gayest city, draws large audiences, composed of respectable people, in our uneventful, quiet towns, who go in the hope ot having their tender susceptibilities shocked nud of securing a thrill. Most of those who attended the performance given at the Medford theater were disappointed in not being shocked. They saw a group of pretty girls, with strained voices, gorgeously costumed, more or less, principally the latter, in St. Vitus' dances. They witnessed a clever pnn tominie illustrating the slums of Paris, by far the best thing on the program. They heard a bunch of poor singers warble mediocre melodies and second-class actors strut or rather gallop through their. parts. Spontaneous humor and even manufactured mirth were strangely lacking, while gorgeous scenery, rapid action, and women clad in almost the "altogether," struggled in suggestive scenes to conceal the shortcomings of the creation. i jiy iifiv, wim I'iirwn unmv in ueiouie in i ii inn, niv heroine, who seeks to redeem to herself by posing as a princess of the tenderloin, the habitues of the underworld and the scarcely concealed depravity of its frequenters, is not ah exalted theme in America no matter how much it may appeal to the Erench. The rough house comedy, de void of wit and humor, the brazen etiquette of the dive, the senseless prattle of the sensuous till these are pictured, punctured with bare legs and crazy quickstep. Neither in acting nor actors, in music nor melody, in plot jior story, was the "Queen of the Moulin Rogue" worth while. It did not even point a moral or adorn a tale, and those who snw it were scarcely repaid by a hearty laugh for their waste of time. only loiitf enough lor thu crowd in the court room to net a (,'lance at liei face. Her voice was so tiny that M was almost inaudible. Tho witness said her leal name was Klnora Zoeckler, mid that she wa employed by a Pitlsbiirn detective auency to work on the Sclienk case.

"The defendant came to the hos pital on the following Sinidav," Mis.s Zoeckler continued. "She said she heard her husband was worse. '1 wish to God he'd die.' she .said. I asked her why hhc said that. "'If you knew how we lived you wouldn't blame me,' she replied. 'II Dr. Hupp knew how I have lived lie wouldn't be so anxious for John's iv cowrv.'
