The plan for a penal ciljiy for
anarchists seems to meet the an
archist situation the most thorough
ly; besides there is a poetical side
to the idea of letting the anarchists
work out their theories on them
selves. A fertile island, capable of
.yielding its inhabitants a bountiful
living with an average amount of
labor, should be chosen, and the
anarchists should be deported there
and left to themselves and their
theories. la order that no doubts
might be raised as to their having
a fair show, tbe government might
support them for a year or two and
supply them with all the imple
ments of industry and the comforts
of a high civilization. After such a
period, let them work out their own
destiny, the government only taking
care that no one should escape from
the island. It is a safe conjecture
that under such. conditions the an
.archists would have the r theories
-changed by close experiei.C'8 with
practical affairs.
An unwarranted attaok was

was made of the fact that the
governor pardoned Smith, the

not pardon Wade and Dalton, the
Portland murderers. The catst
were in no ways similar. Smith
was convicted on circimit-tuntii-.l
evidence while it was a c.uifrssinii
of t'le crime that convicted W.ide
and Diiitou. In the case of Smith
petitions of great length were cir
cular d in the county ut.d were
signed by hundreds of people ask
ing that he be pardoned at.d Tmk

many citizens who are warm, stead
fast friends of Governor Geer who
do not believe this rot about his
pjaying fttvnri'es for re-election
and while this is true it is just as
well true that these same friends
of the governor and tue entire re
publican party are g'ving but a
iuke-warm support to their de
clared, and tried and true princi
pals when thev drop their dollars
into the Enquirer coffer, thus en
nobling that blasphemous rag to in
suit their very best friends and the
principles which they have fought
for four years.

From ihe Oregonlan.
By a temporary injunction, granted
yesterday in United States District
Court, the entire city government ol
the town of Medford, in Jackson County,
was restrained from taking any action
toward the removal from the streets of
that town of the telephone and tele
graph lines of the Sunset Telephone &
Telegraph Company. April 8 is set ae
the date for a hearing in the matter, if
the authorities of Medford desire to
show why the injunction should not be
made perpetual.
December 17 laat tbe Medford Council
passe I an ordinance requiring, among
other things, that the telephone com
pany should pay into tbe city treasur)
au aunual license fee of 8100; tbat tbe
monthly charge for telephone instru
ments and service should not exceeu
81 50, and that, il the telephone com
pany sbouid fail to comply with the
terms of the ordinance by February 1,
the city, authorities should proceed to
cut down and aestroy the lined in tbe
city. The ordinance was approved bj
Mayor Crowell the same day it wa
passcd by the Council. The city hai-
made demaud upon tbe company to
comply with the t-.-rius of the ordi'
uauce, aud too company has respect
fully declined. To avoid destruction if
1 s property and to get the matter be
lore the courts for adjudication, thi.
telephone company presented its po
tillou lor lni auction, accompanying 11
with a long statement of tbe relation
of the cumpauy aud the town of. Aleu-
ford.
The company recites that It Is a Cali
fornia corporation; that it is authorized
by tbe United Slates Postal Depart
ment to transmit Government mes
sages, telephone and telegraphic; thai
it has for a number of years had its
lines in unquestioned operation in the
c ty of Medford, giving the city no
trouble and contributing to the con
venience of doing business there; that
the license fee of 8100 exacted by the
ordinance passed last December is un
reasonably large and oppressive, and
entirely out of proportion to any extra
service that might be required by the
city g ivernmeot by reason of the pres
ence ol tbe lines in the city; tbat the
monthly charge of $1 50 authorized by
the ordinance is inadequate to the sup
port of so snial I an exchange, the num
ber of subscribers there being only 60;
tbat tbe ordinance in question vio
lates tbe United States Constitu
tion in several particulars, the chief
one being that it seeks to impose re
strictions on interstate commerce. The
petitioner admits that a license fee of
$20 might not be unreasonable.
The injunction order naineB tbe
Mayor, all the Councilmen, the City
Recorder and tbe City Marshal, ar.d
commands all to refrain from molest
ing or in any wise interfering with the
business or property of the Sunset
T iephone & Telegraph Company.
Papers were eerved upon all of the
abi yi officers last Saturday. It is prob
able tbe matter will be attended to .'n
Portland by an attorney employed in
that city by the city councK of Medford.

If present imlloutions count for any
thing the oily of Medford bids lull' to
increase in wealth tu,d population with
in the ui-xt few yet rs to an extent
hitherto unknown in its history,
founded ulghtoen years ngn as a way
station on Hie Southern Piu'ltlo, with
the old established towu 0' Jauksonvll'o
Are miles wost unci Ashland twelve
miles south, it has slowly grown princi
pally by its favorable gvogr.iphlual loca
tion almost in the cooler ot thu valley,
uutll It lias become one ol the most
important shipping points lor iho
produots of .laokson County. Very
slow was that growth at first, hut It
has been steady all through. There
has never been a boom In M.-dlord,
consequently no reautton. Even dur
ing the years ol the "hard times" the
growth of the town was not perceptibly
checked. It has now reached the point
when, conditions being favorable. It
may bo expected to expand Into the
chief city of Southern Oregon within a
very few years.
It is the opinion if thu writer that
those favorable conditions are piesont,
and the reasons for this opinion wo will
endeavor to set forth below.
The frutt Industry, not in Its Infancy,
it Is true, but still far from having
reaobed its lull development. Is one of
the foundations of this opinion. Med
ford lies iu the heart ol 01-e ol the
greatest fruit-growing districts In the
known world. North, south, east aid
west for miles the soil Is
nearly all
adapted to the successful growing ol
fruit. Only a comparatively small
acreage of this laod has been planted to
fruit yet ; but more and more is being
put out each year, until eventually the
central portion of the valley wKI be
come almost a solid orchard, inter
spersed with waving Holds of alfalfa or
gardens of small fruits. Medford, as

an opinion of Meilfnrd's future greut
nes, but there are others.
Eistward, only a short flvo miles
away, the Soutl era Pacific Company Is
dulviug into trio earth, seeking it bed
ol coal, which its geological experts,
who have a record ol sixteen years,
with never a failure, belfnd thorn,
have declared is there. As soon aB the
development work proceeds far enough
several hundred men will be employed.
M.-dford will naturally bo their trading
point, and the com from tho mine will
a'l pass through this city, as thu near
est point-on the main line. Coal near
at hand and 1I13 favorable situation of
tho city as regards handling the freight
traffic ol the valley will unite to mako
Madford the proper place for the end of
a railroad division, with all that menus
to a young and gro .ring town. Another
thing in this connection is tho projected I provml. j L Uowlllog uppuiuiod Jxeou
