WRESTLING FOR A CITY PROGRESSIVA cities long ago realized thai in their upbuilding, beauty and adornment mean as much as permanency and stability. The more attractive a city is made the greater the individual personal gain. From a purely practical standpoint, the beautiful, sym metrical and imposing, pay as well or better than tho solid and substantial. Experience has demonstrated the value of the city beautiful. The Mail Tribune has for years urged tree planting, cleaning up and other preliminary steps in the line of the program for the city beautiful. It believes that the way to secure the results desired is to make the program com pulsory and by charter amendment, empower the council or other authority to enforce a uniform system of improve ments. But the proposed charter amendment has not yet been enacted. The women of Medford are responsible for much of the civic improvement of the city. They can do far more than they have as yet accomplished. They can actually create the city beautiful, if they will but attempt it. To help along the movement, the Mail Tribune places its columns at the disposal of the women of Medford, to give publicity to their views and suggestions and aid them in any move to cany on their work for a city beautiful. FORM ONE STRONG CLUB. ONIC mistake being made in .Medford is the scattering of support for social organizations. There is a Commercial club, a University club, a Oatcr Lake club, a (loft club, a Tennis club, a Rod and Gun club, an Anglers' club. The city is too young and small to sustain them all creditably though each operates in a more or less limited way and each has more or less property. United, these A'arious organizations could sustain one creditable city club and one country club, the latter so located as to be of advantage sport. The inevitable result is that none of these clubs receive the support necessary. Each has a niore or less half starv ed existence. Small cities cannot be exclusive. Snobbery cannot be indulged in. Scratch the blue blood of the small town aristocracy and the red blood of the common people flows. On account of the limited number of each class, all classes must unite to create one really successful club and the sooner this is done in Medford the better for the city. .Far better one strong club than half a dozen weak ones. CHANCE FOR Til 10 Medford Commercial club has just completed an accurate count of the number of dwelling houses within the city limits of Medford. There is a totul of 1559. On the immediate outskirts are KM additional, mak ing the aggregate 172!1. This excludes everything of a business block nature and is confined strictly to self-contained residence buildings. This gives a splendid basis for analysis. It is a well known fact that there is a scarcity of houses here even during the naturally dull seasons of the year, but it is doubtful whether any comprehensive estimate has ever been possible as to actual needs. At the same time it points out the .excellent opportunity for investment' in building operations, and the Commercial club is reaching, out for capital in every direction. The present population of the city, according to school population and other trustworthy sources, is not less than ten thousand. Six hundred of these people live in the bus iness blocks, and the remaining liine thousand four hun dred in dwellings. Within the city limits proper the fifteen hundred and fifty-nine houses contain an average in excess of six persons to the dwelling. Nearly five hun dred residences were built in 15)10, and, judging I'roin visi ble evidence's at this time, the same figure will be dupli cated this year. This will leave still short approximately as many the beginning of next spring. This condition will appeal to investment seekers strongly. It is unfortunate that there has not been a system main tained in thv" past which would have kept official count of all building operations, hut with the information now in hand, the local situation can be outlined in a clear and con vincing manner to parties seeking knowledge of invest ment openings here. tt n 10 BHPENED Frnnkio Edwards Fitting up Splendid Athletic Club In Natatorium Will Bo Run on Snmo Lines as Athletic End ol Y.

After working hard for long years to secure for them selves a homo nest, with two bright children to share it with thorn, hav ing left tho old folks back oast and coming to the Rogue Illvcr valley to spend their days loved by all her neighbors, with a host of warm friends, In apparent perfect health, with nothing on the surface to cause such action, yet coming down town Wednesday afternoon while her hus band was at work nnd hor chldlrcn at school, she secured n pint of car bolic acid, returned to her homo, wrote a noto to the family, went to When You Build Your Home Dot not choose the site unwisely. A prominent writer along these lines says: "If you must make mistakes, make them in thoUionso rather thnn In selecting the glte. A little com mon senso nt this stage will save years of annoyance, nnd may mean the difference between comfort nnd discomfort, between health and 111 health. True economy does not al ways mean tho cheapest first cost." Remember that tho amount of work necessary to Improve tho site nnd mako It fit to Hvo' tipon may bring the cost up nB high or higher than some more desirable locution without theso defects. It s will tnko n great many londs of earth to bring tho low lot up to tho lovol of tho sidewalk. In considering tho economy of nny par ticular site tabulnto tho work that will have to be dono to bring It to the required state of perfection, and ndd tho cost of such Improvements to the first cost of tho lot. If,thc total cost Is satisfactory, well and good, but If a lot requiring fewer Improve ments Is avnllablo It may bo n bettor bargnln to buy It. So many folks mako mistakes in this one 'point of economy, and lose money by It In tho end, that I feci like putting a special caution upon you regarding It " Do Not Kul I to l-ovirio for Good llen(li. "Now, In regnr'd to health, your common sense will Head you to choose a location for you,r houso In a neigh borhood well drained nnd not too heavily shaded. Of tho two condi tions, excess of trecB or no trees at all, probably tho latter Is tho moro healthful. Nothing Is more unhcnlth ful thnn n damp basemont. Avoid it as you would thoTpIjigue." It renlly loota as' If ths writer woro Inspired' in favor of such choice building sites as are afforded In the Nob Iltll addition, nn'the East Side. Here are the Idenl sites of tho Roguo HIvor valley. Hero also, within n Meno's throw of those lots, is found tho Ideal building material, tho sand stono which Is rnpldly bolng utilized In the typo of bungalow which will soon bo referred to nil over tho coast as tho "Medford type," and this building miliaria! Is today the cheap est obtainable, as any architert or contractor will tell you. In ovory city of nny consequence In tho Union tho swell resldenro section eventual ly Is found to bo on Uto high ground overlooking tho city, nnd so It will; prove in Medford. Not only does tho samo oxpendlturo produce bettor re sults on the high, well-drained ground, but the sunjtnry conditions are ho much better and tho surround ings so much moro attractive, that IihI a rule sane and intelligent people give the preferettco to tho heights, and that fact alone insures tho right neighborhood. Many n man who has built n nice home In a flat country, bolng misled by lack of experience in such matters, ardently wishes ho could secure tho sanitary conditions Incident to the ' hill slopes. No homo now is com pletely modem without somo sort of a heating plant. Mntlonnry tubs, etc., , all of which linplv a large basement. i Thorough and complete drainage alone make the basement sanitary.

This company had Intended to run a sale on paints this week, but the regular trade has so depleted their stock that It will be hard for them to do so. Como over and see.

No other part of tho city will show the distinctive character of Nob Hill aft er present ImprovomcntH aro complet ed. Now Is tho tlmo to mako your selection for your own homo. Don't overlook tho higher lots, nenr top of the hill. They command a splendid vlow of tho city. Somo of these lots have a building restriction contract incident, others have not.
