Many business men of both Grunts Pass and Ashland think that the Rogue River vnlley should send a lecturer with stereopticon views to the middle west, giving a complete and detailed account of all the industries in the valley, from Cow Creek canyon to the Siskiyou's; not only fruit raising, but stock raising, mining, coal, clay, timber, and in fact thoroughly ad vertise the many resources that are lying here entirely undeveloped. The time is ripe for ujiry of action. Medford should be brond enough in her view of our community's future to take the lead. Our watchword should be 'A million people in the Rogue River valley.'
