I Tiavo liecn across Sahara Where the sun was shining so That It burned my crop of whiskers iJusl as fast as It could grow. So I rise In sweaty anger And I say "J. Pluve, look here. Is this sweltering sort of weather Quite tho best you have this year?" I hare summered down in Kansas Where tho eggs hatch by tho heat, Whlio tho chickens take vacations, Whcro they cook stuff on the street "So just look ce hero O'Gara, I've, a word or two with you, Is this slr.zllng sort of summer Qnite tho best that you can do?" FROM nil cities of tho land eonio complaints of water shortmro. In Portland, motel's are being placed throughout the city. Sprinkling is bring restricted to certain horn's for eeruuu suctions, ami oven me jarger areas ol me. euy are dry. Iii Ashland there is universal complaint of scarcity of water. The. mayor and council have decided that it, will be necessary to redistrict the city again this year and re strict the use of water to alternate days. The Grants Pass Courier is authority Jor (he state ment that the water of that citv is unfit for drinking, and that people are drinking bottled spring and mineral water. bnvs the C ouner: "It is pleasant to be able to say some thing good about the water. It is just tho thing to use on plants and garden truck, so warm that it does not chill Vegetation. " Salem, the capital, is still drinking tho sewerage, of Albany, Eugene and other cities and there is insufficiem supply of itftv i mention. Xow Medford can appreciate its magnificent gravity water system. For the first summer in history, there is abundant snpplv for all and 200 miners inches flow a day going to waste. There is magnificent pressure for fire pur poses, ample for drinking, all that can be used tor irriga tion. If Mcdford docs not become a beauty spot, it will be due solely to the lack of civic pride in its citizens. The soil, the climate, and now the water arc hero for it. J3ut besides increasing the health of the residents, beautifying tlie city, lessening the firo-danger, the water system is a great success financially. Lt lias increased the number of consumers, quadrupled the revenues, is pay ing the interest on the entire bonded indebtedness ot the city and will in a few veal's, pay all the cost of city govern ment. A half million dollar water system was a big thing for a small town to stagger under, but it is proving the wisest and most profitable movement the city ever made. Other Oregon cities, particularly Salem, should follow Medford s example. It pays to be progressive.

July lS.Olio ,Sla- Jgers, tho Bolgian aviator, holds th 1 world's aeroplane record for sits jniiipd flight horo 'today after Inlying eovered 377 miles without a "top. Tabuteau, with H02 miles, was the fopu'er Vecord holder. A LL the Portland papers carry an item to the effect that I'orttano leads all cities oi the northwest, with the single exception of Salem, in growth in postal receipts tor the year ending June 30, 19ll. Portland shows a gain of 17.1 per cent, Salem of 2S.1 per cent, Seattle .02 per cent, Spokane 6.1 per cent, Boise 17 per cent, Taconia 2.2 per cent, etc. Portland journalists for the greater glory of Oregon, sliould never overlook Medford. No matter what line of business is taken as a criterion bank deposits, postal receipts, building, paving and public improvements, or chard development, mining, railroad business, fruit ship ments anything and everything Mcdford is "there with the bells." Medford s postal receipts for the year ending .rune 30 were $32,646, against $23,283 the year before, a gain ot i?9,3()3 or 41 per cent. And this is straight post otfice business no state printing, no election pamphlets, no campaign literature, no legislative session to swell the total as Salem had. For five years Mcdford 's post office has never failed to show an increase averaging over 3y per. cent for each year over the operations of the year before. . And the same ratio continues. ' The federal census of 1910 gave Mcdford a gain of 392 per cent in population over the census of 1900, the greatest gain made by any city in the northwest the greatest made in the United States, except one, Oklahoma Citv. The record made by Medford cannot be duplicated in the nation. It is unique in the story of cities. It is the re sult of energy and enterprise utilizing natural advan tages. All Oregon should be proud of what Tom Rich ardson styled "the most metropolitan village in tho world" and give her the recognition which her activity entitles her. LOS ANGKLKS, Cnl July 18.
