The Oregouiau nnd the .Journal of Portland both gave the story prominence and both com mented editorially on (he advantages of this section for the establishment of sitih an institution. San Francis co and Denver papers published the nccount of the offer sent out on the United Press association wire. Other cities east probably did the same but as these papers have not ns yet had time to reach Medford the manner in which they handled it is not us yet ynown. It rather surprised the Med ford boosters that Ashland should break into the game. Medford was not af ter thp university for Medford but for tho Itogue River valley. Local boost ers did not enro whether theinstitu lion was placed at one end of the valley r the other so long as it was placed in ilio Hoguo River valley. It meant the expenditure of as much money iu tho county as the present assessed valuation and it made little difference whether it was placed iu or without any of the cities iu the valley. t Locnl boosters aro jubilant over the way the matter worked out. It has proved nearly as grcnt an advertis ing scheme as tho (creation of the stnlo of Siskiyou and would huve as great an effect had tho lists been open for the next two weeks, but Mrs. Harrimau hns put an end to it by announcing that she docs not intend to build a university. However, lest it misunderstanding arise, Medford was not bluffing with hor offer to Mrs. Hurriman. The fiilo for tho univorsity would huve been given nnd a ensh bonus too, if it had beon necessary. Medford never falls down when sho goes af ter unylhing. HUXHKT MACJAZINi: FOK JUNK In Apple Land by Walter V. Wooh lko. Deautlfully llhmtratod In four colors.
