The site selected is approximately, air line, 1000 feet from the Southern Pacific depot and 2o00 feet from the Pacific & Eastern. 'Phis entails the Southern Pacific's transporting its mail from the postoffice free, but entails an expense to the government in transporting the Pacific & hastern mail. lth the completion ot the Pacuie ev Eastern to a connection with the Oregon Trunk, and its absorption by the latter, the bulk of the eastern mail will be carried over it, and the expense of handling will be a considerable item. The selected site, on one edge of the business district, will never be convenient to the business center. Jt will entail an earlier closing of the mails, and a tardier dis tribution, and eventually necessitate a substation for the sale of stamps, etc., east of the Southern Pacific track. But, on the other hand, the postoffice should not be located in the business district, as it docs not increase, but rather decreases the value of property in its vicinity for business purposes. Federal buildings, iike county, city, depots and other public institutions, do not benefit adjacent business houses. The larger the town becomes the less importance is attached to the location of public buildings. The selection ol the site is probably due to the superior enterprise ol West Side owners, who made up a purse tor the purchase of the property and presented it to Uuncle Sam for one dollar. Jlad the section between .Bear creek and the Southern Pacific tracks shown similar enterprise it would have probably secured the building. The energy of the AVest Side is to be commended. It is the spirit that makes cities. There are too many of the property owners in the older section who think a city can be created and institutions secured simply by raising rents and increasing the price of property. Too many have prof ited by unearned increment, grown rich through the ef forts of others, who will not improve their own property and ask such excessive prices that no one else can afford to hence they drive business away and it is grabbed by the more enterprising sections. The selection of the A Vest Side site may enhance prop erly values in its vicinity, because they are on a residence rather than a business basis, but it will not depreciate property values elsewhere. Vet if the AVest Side owners do not improve their holdings and place exorbitant prices upon them, they will toreo business to scatter elsewhere, or drive it out altogether. The population of a citv limits the profitable business than can be done, and the business limits the rental that can be paid, and business done at a profit. Too high ren tals and too high valuations defeat their own object, force business to seek new locations, build up other sections, or drive it away entirely and lose needed capital and enter prise to the city and country. There should be no lOastSide, no AVest Side it's all Medford and what helps one part of the city helps all other parts. No matter where institutions may be locat ed, so long as they are located in Medford that is the principal thing and all sections should pull together to build up all parts of the young city, for only by these meth ods can Medford realize its dreams and become a metropolis.
