MEDFORD IE S ENTIRE COAST No Other City Visited by Mayor Canon Shows Progress and Gen eral Prosperity Shown by This City Local Advancement Is Rapid FAME OF THIS CITY IS SPREAD FAR AND NEAR Officials of Other Towns Can Not Understand How City of 10,000 Can Do So Much That Medford roflectH more prosperity, In erecting mora btlslnesH blocks, build ing moro resiliences, doing more In a general novelopment way than any city ho visited In California, while Inspect Iiib pavements on n recent trip, Is the statement of Mayor V. It. Canon, who Iiub Just returned from an extended trip In company with several city councllmen throughout thu neighboring state to the south. Wherever ho went ho kept an eyo open for Improvements and, while he was in larger cities, he found none that seems to carry such n pronounced air of progress and general piosperlty as his home city. While away, Mayor Canon visited a 'largo number of towns, Including a number In central nnd southern Califor nia, whose fame have been flung broad cant over tho land. However, he states that all o fthem seem to bo standing still, when compared with strides being made by this city. little Advancement. "I was surprised," states tho mayor, to travel for blocks In tho streets of various California cities which I thought were doing wonders In tho way af ad vancement, not to nolo moro building going on. Medford Is outclassing them In tho number of Improvements, tho class of Improvements and In general growth.

"In towns In southern California which have been ndvertlsed tho country over for their marvelous growth nnd constant improvement there seemed to bo a general halt. There were no new buildings going up as is the case In Medford. One could rldo for blocks throughout tho resldenco district with out seeing new homes In course of erec tion, nnd where could they do thnt In this city? Medford has a strido that Is not equaled anywhero by any placo that 1 visited. .... , "I found that Medford Is better known over tho coast than ever before. Wher ever I went I was asked question after question nbout this city. Medford Is noted for progressiveness. She Is stand ing out prominently throughout Cali fornia ns a city that Is doing things.

WASHINGTON. D. C. .May C That American Intorvent on in Mexican nf-.' fairs Is not Imminent und will only come If events so force It. Is the belief of Congressman William Sulzor, chairman of tho house committee on foreign af fairs. "Unless American oltlzciis In Mexico are outraged in such manner ns to ne cessitate Intervention In order to pro tect our people, there Is no disposition on the part of America to Intervene." Hulzur said. "Members of tho vurloits Interested congressional committees, tho piesldent and the state department are working togother. resolved to keep hands off us long as possible I do not sea any obligation on our part tu pacify Mexico. Intervention would cost ua thousands of lives nnd millions of dol lars nuud probably would unite the pres ent opposing factious In Muxlco ngalnst. us.
