The jury in the Swingle Langell

It is astonishing how the income

from July 1st. There is a vast dif

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

The natives of Northern Alaska

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

rounding country . The cold winters of

bait for those who know of the temper
ature of Southern Oregon. A huge

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.
