SUBSCRIPTION $1.50 a Year ntered In the nostofflce at Medford Oregon as second class mail matter. PROSPERITY FOR MEDFORD. ThA Brbee rancb. composed of 1300 acre, and aituated along and Bear Rogue rlrer on both aides, and up and down the river from the By- bee bridge, bas been sold to Honore Palmer of Chicago. The price paid was $37,000 cash In hand. Mr. Palmer expects to at once commence the work of making this land over Into an orchard tract. It Is said there are fully 700 acres of the land suit able for fruit culture. There has been a wonderful am- ount of building done In Medford this summer and the end Ib not yet by a good bit. Borne Idea as to tbe amount of building material being used may be reached when we tell you that for over two weeka last past tbe Woods Lumber company baa received an av erage of one carload of lumber each day and there are four carloads booked to be received yet this week. Tbe Woods Lumber company Is be coming deservedly popular with tbe contractors and building people of Medford and this because of the fact that the company does as It agrees to In every Instance. A NEW KIHTOR. The story that the Outlook has en gaged Mr. Roosevelt for one of Its editors recalls the fable of the six robins who Invited an eagle to join them In a picnic, says an exchange. It was a lovely picnic for the eagle. So far as acquaintance with literature goes, Mr. liable, of the Outlook staff, knows Incomparably more than Mr. Roosevelt, and his writings possess a limpid meekness which the president cannot hope to compete with. As for Dr. Lyman Abbott, his somewhat ac commodating religious and political creeds seem to harmonise pretty well with tbe Rooseveltlan doctrines, but then they would harmonise with any thing. Dr. Abbott's courage some times marches at even pace with his Intellect, but not often. Usually dis cretion keeps bis leaping thoughts strictly hoppled. Of course, Mr. Roosevelt will dom inate the Outlook, as he would dom inate any other periodical he was connected with. It will become more or less completely a reflection of his opinions. How those opinions will stand the test of repetition and re statement month after month for a aeries, of years it Is Interesting to In quire. There Is reason to believe that the policy of the Outlook, as supported by Mr. Roosevelt, will be to transform the present wage sys tem of Industry into what Dr. Abbott calls "Industrial democracy." Un der the new arrangement Industry would be conducted perhaps by tbe suffrages or the workers. Tbe Idea seems absurd, but no mora absurd, perhaps, than the Idea of conducting government by popular vote once did. COMMENT OX THE ELECTION. After a great political fight Is over and the passion of combatants has cooled, you get a fair estimate of the cause and tbe effect of the struggle from the Intelligent press of the country, even it In the moll and broil of the campaign every newspaper was partisan. The earnest, honestly ex pressed sentiment of the United 8tatcs over Taft's election Is reflect ed In the comment of Its representa tive journals. Copious extracts are presenu-d In an Issue of the Orego aian. It la gratifying to see the manly spirit of the Democratic press towanlTart .and a disposition on the part ot Independent papers with Bryan leanings to stand by the president-elect. Note the tone of the New York World, and Hearst's New York American, the evcr-crltlcal New York Kvenlng Tost and the cold 8prlngfleld Republican. Here Is the able and conservative Brooklyn Eagle predicting that the south will support Taft's policies and the always non-partisan New York Herald telling Its readers to depend on quiet and stability for the next four years. Democrats In the Pacific Northwest will find In the comment several reasons for picking on some other man besides Bryan for candi date In 1912. ItOCKKKKU.KIt AND POLITICS. The declaration of John D. Rocke feller that he Intended to vote for Mr. Taft for president carried dismay and consternation Into one political camp and filled the other camp with testacy and rapture, says an ex change. And yet It Is doubtful Is what Mr. Rockefeller said changed a single Tote In the entire Union; and certain it Is that It did not have the slightest effect on the composition of the electoral college. The vulgar mind loves to specu late on tbe little things that have mo mentous consequences; and, given any old circumstance, however dub ious, tremendous effects ' can be traced back to and laid upon trivial causes. One of these Is the speech ot All Be in Fire able securities to the person who possesses jewelry prized for its associations. In fact, everyone needs Fire and Burglar-Proof Vault of the Jackson County Bank where you may rent a Safe Deposit Box at a very reasonable charge $4.00 and up per year. Finest Equipment in Southern Oregon. JACKSON COUNTY BANK MEDFORD, OREGON Established I8881 State) Depository Capital and Surplua, S125.00O.0O W. I. VAWTER, Pres. Dr. Burchard In 1884, that was a two-edged sword, and did Mr. Blaine as much good with the Prohibition ists and Methodists "up state" as it did him barm with Catholics and Tammany below tbe Oronx. Indeed, there are unprejudiced and discern ing minds that believe Mr. Blaine bad read Father Burcbard's alliteration before be delivered It. But to get back to Rockefeller. He has been a Republican all his life, and has never cast a Democratic vote. He has more direct material Interest In the general and widespread pros perity of every state, county, city, town, village, hamlet and grange of the United States than any other sin gle American citizen. He frankly told the people what he thought. He was within his rights as a cltiten, and doubtless his motive was as pure as Bryan's or Tuft's. Has it come to tbe pass that the plutocrats" can elect a president of their choice by declaring for a man not their choice? Just think of It! To what lover depths of depraved politics can we go If a president Is xo be chosen because Rockefeller and Morgan and that set are opposed to him? We have not come to that pass as yet, and pray God we never may. A delightful brief for "Gentle Speech" Is presented by Price Collier In tbe North American Review, but It la very evident that be baa had little. If any, experience with a team of mules with the wagon wheels stuck hub-deep In red Virginia mud. That Is where one can see the real dynamic effect of gentle speech. This campaign bas been merciless In Its wear and tear upon several reputations, but there Is one figure, at least, who richly deserves the storm of jeers and ridicule that drives him Into oblivion. This blatant cow ard has utterly failed to make good. and no one wants to see his face again. We refer to that contemptible four-flusher. General Apathy. The otherwise exemplary Parts womsn who has been discovered to be tbe leader of a band of robbers prob ably took her first step on the down ward path as a ::tag day" boomer or a booth tender at a church soci able. The triangular battle of tbe bats, In which the pill box, the plateau and the Inverted bathtub monstrosity known as the merry widow are strug gling for supremacy, can reault only In the survival of the unflttest. The Ohio river watershed, de clares Dr. C. A. L. Reed of Cincin nati, Is "a thousand miles of ty phoid." Perhaps It was the deadly fear of water that led so many Ken tucky counties to vote "dry." The Supreme court of Illinois has Just derided that foam is not beer and cannot be measured as such. And yet Sampel Gompers talks ot "judi cial despotism," and would destroy the courts! In view of the end ot the campaign the president might have closed his proclamation with "Also, for this relief, much thanks." FOR SALE 10 stands ot Italian bees. Inquire Mail Office.

White, the special allotlng agent of the Klamath Indian reserva tion, reports progress very slow on account of the many complications In connection with the settlement of the tribal rights of the many claim ants. The allotment roll is not yet closed, and the births among the In dians are now accurately recorded and every arrival Is the owner of 16 0 acres of land as soon as It opens Its eyes upon the light of the world. It has not been finally determined when the allotment roll will be clos ed, but It will be some time In the latter part of 1909. There yet re mains sufficient work adjusting claims and establishing relation ships of the allotees to keep Mr. White and his assistants busy several months. Owing to the fact that marriage was more of a matter of convenience than a legal or sacred affair. It has taken months to segregate the vari ous families, a thing that was necess ary to determine the heirs of an al lotee In case of his death. Most of those entitled to lands have made their selections, but It Is taking con siderable time to establish the lines so that the claims of the allotees will not conflict. A Quiet Wedding. At the parsonage ot the M. E. church South, In this city yesterday. Rev. Goulder officiating, was sol emnized the marriage of C. H. Bald win, a prominent young gentleman of Grants Pass, and Miss Zoma Wilkin son, an estimable young lady ot Hay den, Colo.

A carload of goods arrived yester day from Mitchell county, Iowa, for R. V. Crum, who recently bought lands near this city. In addition to household goods, there were several head of stock and quite a bunch of fowls In the car. J. T. Young came In charge of the car and stock. Mr. Young expects to buy property and locate here.
