It is astonishing how the income tax decision has boomed salaries. Those who reeived only $3,999 a few weeks ago are now getting $5,000 a year. "While disputing as to the real re sponsibility of the sudden advance in wheat and corn the financiers of the nation should not overlook the efforts of the lowly, but industrious Hessian fly. The coming woman is coming right along like a race horse. Sev. eral of her tried to lynch the fore man of a woolen factory at Trenton , N. J, the other day because they "didn't like his looks."

There is a vast dif ference between $2.50 per square, the old price charged, and the present price of fourteen cents per square. The present money question is not one of quality but quantity. It is whether the dollar of the labor ers will buy as much as the dollar of the capitalist. A dollar ought to be worth one hundred cents by sight or weight. If it doesn't stand for that it doesn't stand forj any thing. When the Japanese launch a ship they liberate a cageful of birds to signify that a new messenger is to be sent to all points of the com pass. This is better than breaking a bottle of champagne, which offend3 good prohibitionists and confers no benefits on those who like good drinking wine. The other day a ferry boat named "Trilby" was sunk in the Hamburg canal and a raciug animal called "Sweet Alice" dropped dead on the San Francisco track. These events serve as a warning to people in the bestowal of names. If someone will kill a- few "Ben Bolts" the Trilby fadists will die of grief.

It gives to western Oregon all that , could possibly be hoped for by way j of crop returns, hastern Oregon is not so fortunate. The most hopeful sign of the re vival of business conies from Cin cinnati in the announcement that the carriage factories of that citv, sixty in number, are running over time and short of help. Carriages are luxuries and the increased de mand for that class of vehicles af fords abundant proof of returning business prosperity. The natives of Northern Alaska and Siberia have no knowledge of money, and tourists to that country have to exchange the same into bar ter goods. What a happy people these must be, but undoubtedly some people would consider them miser able. To be without money would be without a god, either silver or gold, to those who worship only this deitv. The man who has succeeded to a well established business, which he thinks will need no building up, is occasionally heard to say, "There is no need of advertising." He some times has his doubts, however, when he sees another man, with no ad vantages, build up a better business in a single year in the same street, or around the corner, by the aid of advertising. The few genuine Oregon pioneers will soon pass away. Their ranks are very rapidly diminishing. One of them remarked this week that seventy had died during the past year. A few of them are yet strong and not of very great age, but by far the greater proportion have gone or are going. They laid broad and solid foundations here for the com monwealth that has grown and is giowing up, ana ineir mcniory 6hould ever be held in grateful re membrance. Portland Welcome. An ofLSouthern Oregon ought to do honor to Ashland upon the occa sion of the Chautauqua assembly, from July 10th to 19th. We ought to do this not particularly because it is at Ashland, but because it is the Chautauqua assembly and be cause occasions of this nature bring within our border lines people of eminence from lands distant, and through them our beautiful sunland is advertised to the world, and be cause Ashland people have made it i possible for us to come within hear- ing distance of these eloquent speak ers; because, further, that each in dividual will be benefited bv attend- ing the Chautauqua and listening ) to the wise and logical discourses. i m m m ( Photographs. 1 ' We will, until further notice, make . one doze a first clav photo' (or $1.H) all worlc jruareni-vU call and joo samples, Tyi-kk & MlSKK Central Point Item.

She reports having had a most delightful visit but when asked as to choice between that eounlry and the Rogue river valley the preference sounded loud for Wedford and its sur rounding country . The cold winters of that state, made more severe by the chilling lake winds, have no templing bait for those who know of the temper ature of Southern Oregon. A huge chunk of maple sugar the genuine ar ticle presented to us by Mrs S. bring back memories of pleasant siorts at "bilin' down" lime experienced by the writer in days long ago in the peninsu lar state. Medford Knights of Pythias had a grand, glorious good time Monday night of this week. It was their reg ular meeting night and. there were three eand idates for work in the second degree, all of whom were given the regulation instructions as prescribed for this degree. Af'er the work hirtl been done up for thp evening an ad journment was taken to the Star restu- ratit where a splendid banquet had been prepared with plates spread for forty and forty Knights spread them-: selves about the heavily laden L.blo ' and paid compliments to both Mr. and 1 Mrs. "Star'' by doing ample justice to the inner man and the outer tables. There were thirteen Knigts down from Ashland and the Imnquet oecasiou was in their honor, largely: and again largely b-ause our boys like these banquets themselves, and ln-ing as they are a whole-souled crowd want their iieighlmr brother lo t hey "jine" in. i J. it. Kice and wife have been hold- ! ing religous services on the streets j during the week. They drew oo.l sized crowds, but the shekels did not. roll ; ! into their coffer with a steadiness that i would jar out the bottom or loosen the ' hoops. They claim Io"an, Montana, as ; ! their present home, but Kice was at one time a resident of this valley. Those w ho have heard them speak are telling that they are quite correct upon some subjects they handle. 'They claim no connection with any j church. l-aler: The shekels rolled j moro plentifully Tuesday afternoon. when, as the result of one sermon ; preached bv Mrs. Rice, SlM were I dropped into their purse.

Rice giving as his reason for going that he had lost 40 or S-"0 while ' in the valley, and didn't propose lo lose ; any more. A Jacksonville gentleman was giv ing us a gHd round scolding this week because that Medford people wanted to . celebrate the Fourth this year, he claiming that we ought to have cele-' brated last year mid let them have full swing now. . Yes. this gentleman is correct. We ought lo have celebrated last year and probably would have done so had Kugeie V. Debs been then where he is now, but right about this time last year things were dif ferent and there didn't anyone feel like celebrating w were not in that mood. Those few months of 'iM were a blank tolhel'niled Slates and Med ford being a jwirt of that irreat Union we didn't have any July 4lh last year, thus it can be easily seen that we could not have celebrated had we been of that disposition. We hold that Jacksonville ought to have allowed us to catch up w ith her on this celebrat ing business, hut as she would not do it there is nothing for us to do but to accept of Ashland's invitation to "jine" with them next year they to come a visitin' us this year. Medford ha been duiy honored again. This time the honor comes through our very eminent townsman and etticient architect, Mr. W. J. Hen net, who has been designated as one of several architects to submit plans for the construction of a state capitol for Minnesota, to be built at St. Paul. Tho building is to lie 2T0x3OO feet in size, three stories high and to cost not more' than $l.r(HUKM). Mr. Rennet has accepted the invitation to submit a plan and is now at work on the same. His will bo on the plan of Romanesque architecture, and while the gentleman does not hardly hope to be able to be lirst man on the entire structure, he does expect that some parts of his de sign will be accepted and if they are, he will bo well paid for his trouble, as was the case with the capitol of Mexico for which he drew plans, the tower of which was accepted and for which he received $1."00. The Mail is glad that Medford is the home of a gentleman of- the ability assessed by Mr. Rennet and we hoe he may bo successful in winning, at least, a part of the reward. On the 4th At Atedford.
