"CJod made the country and ipan the town." Ife made the country most heaiitil'ul, most fertile, overflowing with natural resources, lie give us a most salubrious climate and showers the hills with sunshine three hundred days in the year. It is up to man to populate the country, to develop its .resources, to take advantage of its fertility and to create the city. Ah we do this is our work well or poorly done. (liven geographical location, climatic and natural ad vantages unsurpassed, if our work is not well done we have only ourselves to blame. Natural opportunities are wasted if we haven't sense enough to take advantage of them. Medford has so far done well. In five years a sprawl ing country town of .'WOO has become a thriving young city of 10,000, with metropolitan improvements. Rut the c,it. lii-s only made a start. It must continue lo grow and citi zens must redouble their efforts in proportion to its size. Co-operation, energy and enterprise will create :i met ropolis upon a desert. If these are lacking you couldn't build a city in the (Jarden of I'Men. Med ford's growth and progress over that of other com munities is (w to superior energy in advertising and ex ploiting a few of its natural advantages. For half a cen tury the valley slept peacefully, undisturbed and unre garded, ignorant of its own attractions, of little faith in its own resources. Its inhabitants were content in making a living with a minimum of effort. Then Medford awakened. A few adventurous spirits organized the Commercial club and started to tell the world of what we had, lo exploit our'possibilities, to ad vertise wluil nature had done. There was an immediate response and a constantly increasing' stream of people litis been attracted hither-many to remain. The people of Med lord loyally supported the club, and it increased its membership and its efforts. The Rogue River valley and the Medford of today are the result. The question before the people of Medford today" is: Are we going to continue our efforts to populate the coun try and to build up the city? If we are, we must back up the Medford Commercial club in its publicitv campaign, as it represents the only organized effort to accomplish our aims. Medford and the valley cannot further advance unless we get more people to settle the land and develop the nat ural resources. We do not need speculators, the men who buy today, hoping to sell at double price tomorrow with out improving property. We need the men who buy to plant and make livings from their places, the men who develop and create. Rut yoti'cannot get these unless you loyally support your Commercial club in its publicity work. The work of the Commercial club has been aptly term ed the insurance of prosperity. If you want business to increase, values to go up, people to continue to flock hith er, land to be cultivated, mines to be operated, lumber to be manufactured in short, the hundred and one essentials lo create prosperity, you must loyally support the Commer cial club and liberally contribute to its funds. Make the support stronger than ever before, because there are more of us than ever before, and we want to keep lite ball rolling till "win can't Mop it." WEDDIN IS OBSERVED I Mr. and Mrs. John H.

You can build a home on a rock pile or on "hard pan," provided you spend enough labor and money. To'begin with, il is a matter of some con sequence to buy and haul soil for a lawn and garden. J And come to think of it seriously, why should a per son incur the trouble and expense of converting a grasshopper district into a dwelling place, when good land in desirable localities can be had much cheaper r" ij You cannot gather figs from thistles, neither can a large crop of hair be clipped from a toad. It would require considerable advertising to make Rear creek water equal in quality to that of Hull Run. If through official favoritisju all tho city improvements were given to the "bad lauds" they would not be convert ed into an lulen. The serpent would probably be there, but the tree of life, never. The old woman with a broom tried to sweep back the lides of the sea, .just as official polliwigs tried to block the progress of Riverside Sub-division. The titles still flow and this beautiful addition continues to improve. Observe the number of lots sold and the improvements under way. If couldn't be other wise. The lots are all good land: they are beautiful ly situated, commanding a fine view of the valley and mountains. Nature has supplied shade trees and the best of drainage: no mud to contend with even in the wet est seasons. f3 Situated on North Rivel'side Avenue, the only street running through the city from north to south,' the in terurhan ear line is Mire (o run through this addition. It is only a lifteeii-iuinute walk from the postoffioe and close to the North schoel: water and sewer are now in, and city officials declare Riverside will be paved this summer without tail. Rut whether paved or not, the property is .just as desirable, for it costs Icttf money. And that alone makes this opportunity shine. These lots are cheap. The owner does not want all the money nor all the land there is. lie is willing for you to have some of both. Just to be convinced calland price them. A group of these lots, for tho uet two weeks, will he sold uu small monthly pfjy Hieiits. . gHwW. li IMIIPPS, llwQwuw'. Tltl'TH t'ENTEK. 132 North Ivy street. Medford, Or.
