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

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

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 Inverted bathtub monstrosity

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

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."

KLAMATH INDIAN LANDS.
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Nov. 11.
H. F. 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

guests ot the Palace hotel while In
this city, and last night took their
departure for their future home In
Grants Pass.

day from Mitchell county, Iowa, for
