Prof. Rigby has secured a very
desirable location for his business

In behalf of the citizens of Med

it imperative that all teachers at-;-'tend
the teachers' institute held in
. the county or district in which they
V 're teaching. The Mail hopes
; '". - there will be no necessity for im
posing fines for non-attendance at
' the institute to be held in Medford
" the first week in May.
The introduction of bullet proof
clothing as an offset to smokeless

pleasurable exhiliration, with very
little danger. About the only peo
ple who will be injured by a war in
. the twentieth century will be the
iOvcrworked tailors and machinists.

: satisfied that the people vill have a

bonds are voted? Don't you be
lieve -the value of your' property
will be greatly enhanced? And
above all, don't be so foolish as to
vote directly against your own in
terests. Vote the bonds. It wont
cost the town a dollar if the pro
jects are not carried out.
. Next Monday the people of Med
ford will be called upon to decide
. the matter of issuing bends. You
, all understand the propositions
-which have been made to our city
and yoa further understand that by
voting these bonds you are not iin
r; periling the city's financial condi
; tion in any way, as, if the projects
' are not carried out not a dollar of
these bonds are to be issued, and if
on the other hand the projects abb
carried out any person can see at a
glance the benefits which must as
suredly arise therefrom.
While Medford is shaping her-
eelf for an unusual amount of busi
ness in many ways the coming sea
son, has any person thought of the
great opening offered for the estab
lishing of a fruit cannery? The
prospects for a most bountiful yield
pf fruit of all kind, never were bet
ter than right now, and even if the
yield is no more than one-half what
Js now promised there will be more
fruit in and about Medford than
can possibly be taken care of with-
ttti a cannery. Some move should
be made to secure the establishing
of this much needed institution. To
be convinced of the big yield that is
promised one needs but to take a
drive through- the many orchards
hereabouts and note the trees filled
to their utmost capacity with blos
soms. Surely there is a big open
ins, for this line of business.
OiTR British neighbors, just over
the Washington line, who allow the
importation of Chinamen, and who
eventually are smuggled into the
United States, ought not to expect
sympathy from U3 if, when a con
signment of these small-pox, lepor
ous infected people is unloaded at
her ports, the presence of these loath
some diseases is discovered among
them. The one thing to be most
regretted by 'the United States is
that the government which tolerj
ates the importation, cannot be
compelled to wallow in its self in-fiii-tcd
filth and' diseases.
It is about this season of the year
when all things which tend to the
general good of the valley are look
at their best. Our crop prospects
were never better than right now,
and while there is a promise of a
big yield in grain, there is a very
important fact which should be
givcu more than a passing thought
bv the farming community and
that is, "How can we get the most
money
out of the grain that we
crow.' Hue we may not go as
deep into the solution of this prob
lem as the question itself will war
rant, yet we will offer a suggestion
which is that the farmers instead
of shipping their grain they keep it
at home and fatten their cattle and
hogs with it. It is a positive fact
jthat after a farmer has paid freight
on his grain to some distant market
there is little left for him in a pe
cuniary way. While this is true it
is eoually as true that there is al-
-
wavs a home market for meats of
all kinds and ai a fairly good price,
considering the value of the grain
t requires to fatten them. Last
year there were several car loads
of meats shipped to Medford from
other states and this because that
the valley supply could not meet
the demand.
There is something getting ready
to "'drap'' in railroad matters and
if we treat things carefully and as
they should be they will drop right
here in Medford. Read this and
see if you are not of the same
opinion: A gentleman who was in
Medford this week states that while
on a train out of Spokane Falls he
met a civil engineer, who was in the
employ of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and from him he learned
that he was then on his way, by
orders from the company, to survey
a line of road from a point in Idaho
to connect with the proposed line of
railroad east from Medford, Oregon.
Couple this with the fact that Mr.
Leadbetter is now at Boise City,
Idaho, and what do you figure it
means? Almost any person can
figure that two and two mako four,
and it doesn't require a much more
intelligent calculator to satisfac
torily figure that the Northern Pa
cific is endeavoring to reach San
Francisco, and they have chosen a
route from Boise City west through
the Rogue River valley, via Med
ford, to the coast and to connect
with the Donahue system, which is
now being pushed to the north
along the coast, and that,- as we
predicted a few weeks ago, the
Rogue River valley short-line is the
nucleus to a transcontinental line.
