PROGRESS toward the city beautiful is extremely slow, in iMedford. Notwithstanding the fact that tree plant ing season is Hearing an end, not Malt Hie sliade trees Have been planted that should be and there has been no organ ized movement along these lines. Efforts at beaut ificat ion drag along in the most dis heartening manner. It has taken the Southern Pacific six months to park a narrow strip a block in length along its right of way and this is the only effort being made to enlarge the park system or improve the city. It is one of the mysteries of the hour why the city coun cil, enterprising and progressive along most lines, refuses to act along lines for beautifying the city, why it does not request the railroad to park the balance of its right-of-way, why it permits vacant lots in the center of the city to be used as barn yards and dumping grounds, why expressmen are permitted to use the railroad right-of-way, that should be a park, not only as a loafing place during the day, but as a storage ground for wagons during the night, and why no effort is made to provide additions to the park system. iMedford has many things to do in the creation of the city out of the country town, but few things have a more important bearing upon its future growth and prosperity that the building of the city beautiful a metropolis that will reflect in some small measure the wondrous beauty nature has showered upon the valley surrounding it.

In many places the old wooden walks are still utilized, though boards are missing and broken. In front of other properties, the sidewalk has never been graded, but remains several feet in elevation above the curb, North Central offers a fine example of the lethary of owners and city. Some dav or other, some one will fall and break his or her neck and the citv will face a heavv damage suit. It is an injustice to compel a portion of the property owners to construct concrete walks and permit the ad joining property owner to keep his wooden walk. This is not equality before the law, and places a penalty upon enterprise. WMen property owners reluse to construct, concrete walks as ordered, it is the city's duty to construct them and tfie bill becomes a lien against the property. The official that neglects this duty is delinquent, and there is too much of this class of delinquency. I.O.S A.N'fJi:i.i:.S, Cal..

NOTHING CAN STOP IT J A city can be built on a hill, but it is a great task to build it. You can build a home on a rock pile or on "hard pan," provided you spend enough labor and money. To begin with, it is a matter of some con sequence to buy and haul soil for a lawn and garden. 4$ 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 he had much cheaper'? J 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 Bear creek water equal in quality to that of J3ull .Run. If through official favoritism all the city improvements were given to the "bad lauds" they would not be convert ed into an Eden. The serpent would probably be there, but the tree of life, never. j The old woman with a broom tried to sweep back the tides of the sea, just as official polliwigs tried to block the progress of .Riverside Sub-division. The tides still flow and this beautiful addition continues to improve. Observe the number of lots sold and the improvements under way. It 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 wetcst seasons. J Situated on North Riverside Avenue, the only street running through the city from north to south, the in terurban car line is sure to run through this addition. It is only a fifteen-minute walk from the postoffice and close to the North school; water and sewer are now in, and city officials declare Riverside will be paved this summer without fail. But whether paved or not, the property is just as desirable, for it costs less 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 call and price them. A group of these lots, for the next two weeks, will be sold on small monthly pay ments. I See W. E. PJ1LPPS, the Owner. Where to Go Tonight iU-GOl, I New 'AUDKVIIiLB MOVING PICTUKUS Xcw Clump?
