If, is a crop producer and a crop insurer .upon any kind of soil. Xo land is so poor but that, given water and sunshine, rsoinethinir cannot be profitably pro-luod as follows.: duced. Our clime, our sunshine, our soil, our natural charms lure thousands, but the fact that we have not water over our greatest area drives thousands away. The curse ol the valley has been that we can and do mature crops with out water, hence not realizing its necessity as an income producer, have failed to comprehend its value. J lad this been a desert valley, water would long ago have transformed it into a garden spot with many times its present productive capacity. The necessity of water, being realized, would have brought it. The only advantage the great fruit districts of tho northwest have over the logue River valley is water. In every other respect the Rogue River valley outclasses; (hem. Thev all were desert wastes until water trans- formed them into orchard belts. But (heir water goes a long way to offset our natural advantages. There is no use attempting (o disguise (he fact (hat water is needed, any more (ban that smudge pots are needed. AVhat must be done is to remedy our defect and it is a simple matter and lies within our grasp. All that, is necessary is to grasp (lie opportunity that lies before us. It! ! il. ..

This is your self-sustaining population, your pay-j roll, your industrial development, your nianufacdiries' shipping sou products around the world. The opportunitv is furnished bv the Rogue River Canal company, a concern that has never asked a cent from the community, which has already spent $400,000 in development work and payrolls, that has added 7000 acres of productive soil to the valley's area, and stands ready to invest $1,500,000 more if met with cooperation on the part of land owners. The .Rogue River valley has not given this concern a square deal. Its project has been promiscuously knocked, the immigration it induced has been scared away, and real estate speculators, with dry laud for sale, have systematically decried irrigation. Nevertheless the company, which comprises such men as Twohy Bros., Patrick AVeleli, R. P. Xcil and other successful and wealthy business men. have kept on work, secure in the knowledge that water was essential to the development of the country. In the past few weeks, through the cooperation of Central Point citizens, over a thousand acres of land have been signed np,for water around that thriving city, which means that Central Point will double in size and business shortly. Through the cooperation of Medford, it is hoped to secure ten thousand acres signed up for water under the proposed High line ditch, which will cover the territory from Talent north. JT Central Point can secure .1000 acres, surely Medford can secure .10,000. "When once the farmer or land owner realizes the value of water, as they are beginning to realize it around Cen tral Point, he will .jump at a chance to enhance the value of his land, double its productive capacity, provide a payroll tluring construction and pay for the water out of the increased output of products. There are many water users along the present con duits who have paid the entire cost of the water out of increased revenues obtained thereby, and all should jump at a chance, which in the eyes of the, experienced farmer ot'he middle west and northwest, doubles and triples the value of (he land. log his I'lu'ck than tho amount of lutoroat I'ltrnod nt hlu Illegal ehatgo It Is not loim publicity that Is nood oil.

MAKING A SANITARY CITY. Lognl blanks nt the Medford Print lug company. T ADIES of the Greater Medford club are to be con-J- gratulatcd upon the energy and activity they are displaying for community betterment. It is to be honed that their efforts will have the cordial support of the proper authorities and result in a long needed awakening of the spirit of civic pride. Generally speaking, the sanitary survey of the city Shows that excellent sanitary conditions prevail. Indeed there is no comparison between the .Medford of today and the Medford of three years ago, and few cities will com pare with it in healthfulness. The delects, such as they are, can be and should be remedied at once. The most serious matters reported are the conditions existing at the public schools. Either the-school board is woefully negligent, or those in direct charge of the schools are, probably both. That little children should be com pelled to sit over basements with stagnant water pools on the floor, and that toilets should he permitted to become filthy and foul, passes comprehension and indicates gross inefficiency in management. ' It is hard (o understand why there is so much defective plumbing in Medford, when there is a city plumbing in spector paid $100 a month with nothing 'else to do but look alter plumbing. There are other unsanitary conditions not touched upon by the ladies, such as slaughter houses where en trails are piled in heaps and burned, the unspeakable nauseating odors permeating the city not exactly indu cive to health. But they will probably get to these and other public nuisances and menaces later, $1.00 HOTEL MEDFORD ' SUNDAY l)INNTl')R f to i) P. Al.
