lbs Journal article follows:
One of tbe beet ed vert lead towns
In tbs state of Oregon It Medford.
Tblt we aay wltnout any disparage
ment or tne euorre or otoer piaoea in
lbs elate but rather to atlr them to
emulation. Wltbin the lael year
Jaedfotd baa eiperlenoed a decided
awakening. The monger and more
prog rest Its men of the town bare
ooms to tbs front and bsvs taken tbs
direction of attain. Tba mOM backs
bava been retired to tbe back aeata.
The spirit of progress has been la
tne air aaa toe opportunities ror
profitable Investment nre atraotiug
tbs attention of outalds capital.
Tbs results ars already apparent.
Medford bas many advantage, to at
tract tho bomasaeksr and tns inves
tor. It ta torroundtd by a region of
extraoraioay tenuity wnose pro
dorte have won fame in eastern mar
kets. It la tbe dittrlbuting point for
a mining dlstriot of unusual promise.
Ita ptiple are prosperous and seem to
bave awakened to tbs future wbioh
lies before them.
A few veais ago Medford waa a
aleepy, listless community, beedleat
ol Its oppurunitiee. oiloa to tne pes-
albllltlea within Ita srato. it was
unknown and unadvertiasd. Through
passengers on tbe Southern Paolfia
glanced idly from the oar windowa at
the little settlement, looked up lbs
nams on tbs tims oard, and wen lor
sot it. And tbe natlvee gazed inat
as Idly and witb Just aa litUs interest
at tbs passengers, without s thought
of attraotiog tba attention of a
atranger to tlielr town.
Now all this it chanced. W'nen the
traveler arrives at Medford be recog
nizee it at once aa a locality of whicb
be has beard a thousand timea. Ula
interest haa neen aroused In advanos
and is eager to see for bimsslf wbet
it baa to otfer. It be ia a capitalist
looking for investments he waots to
investigate Mecllora's opportunities.
If he is a homeseeker be is predis
posed to atop and purchase and
build, without loosing further. It
he ie elmply a tourist bent on enjoy
ment he welcomes tbe obanoa for
sightseeing and recreation In a local
ity whose fame haa so often reached
bla ears- Whatever bla purpose be
knowa that Medlord ia on tne map.
What haa wrought the change?
Advertising. Intelligent, well direct
ed advertiaing. Without advertising
Medford woold bave droosd along In
the aams old way for a dozen years
to ooms. Now snd then some
atranded ttranger would have been
added to the population,- now and
tben Bill Jonea would have put a
fretb coat of paint cn bia bouse or
Tom Smith would bave bought
another oow. But there would have
bean nothing in the way of actual
development and progress, wnen
tbe rjeonle ot Medford became inocu
lated witb the apiiit of progreaa, and
not until then, toe town woae op,
aieuiuru luuueu it. ejeo, jawuwu,
atiatohtd and then euddenly realized
tbat tbe day of opportunity bad
dawned. Close oa the beela of tbat
realization came tbs campaign of ad
vsrtialng which la already bearing
rleh fruit.

A a earth road composed of wstsr
