Tun of interest to the pulilie. t plan
the upbuilding of the city, to welenmf
newcomers and to(jVlfnll other fttnc

No more fitting celebration tan Id be
had than that of a "prosperity" 1,1,11
qnet. to advertise to the world tlmt, no

elsewhere, only prosperity reigns at
Medfonl. For Medford ia prosperous.

harvests, has . welcomed more newcotu
era and had more money spilled into
her tap than any other town in Oregon.
When faces are lonand doubt hangH

BARNUM MUST PROVIDE
DEPOTS FOR PES HUNGERS
Oswald West, representing the state
railroad commission, met with a mini
her of Jacksonville business men and
V S. Harnum, president of the Rogue
River Valley ntilwuy. for the purpose
Of making some inquiries regarding the
service of thin road, says the .hickmui
ville PuHt.
Mr. Itarnum was given until January
to remedy some evils connected with
his lioe, among which are: The build
nig of a depot and waiting room nt
Medford. establishing a bulletin board
and posting thereon the time of depart
lire ef the train, so that it wil Inot be
nerwuwry for pasaengers to stand in
the wet awaiting the whtatlo; the build
big of a wuiin room and depot in thin
city j koilding a platform for freight
itrthis city; discontinuing the loading
f wood after the train leaves the sta
tiop in this city; having a regulai
i-Jo'dide, and leaving and drpartiug ac
cwJiagly,
Doing Boat He Cevid.
Mr. Harltum stiilcs that he would
"do (he best he could " towards mutt
ing these improvements. lie at a ted
(but he had spent flft.MtMft this year f--r
repa i rs on h is line a mi t hat he wan
making every effort to give adequate
mail and passenger service. It said
too-road . had already cost him i)'o,oo
and (hat ha wasn't making min-li mon
or out of it, anyhow.
Mr. West staled that the. cnmmiHxion
had never mnlested the li. H. V. line
allowing the owners to pursue the even
tenor of their way, thinking 'that they
would make thene improvements them
Selves, as is their duty, and that tin-
should know that since thv an- innk
ing their money out of the public. tln'
c should try to give them value received
as nearly as possible, Mr. West said
that the snuie fare should bi churgd
on the. motor, car at on the train, but
did not order Mr. Itarnnm to alter it.
thinking he would do I It it t without
force being applied.
Give Plenty of Time.
' Mr, West was very n fable and pleas
ant and told Mr. Harnum that the mm
mission would give him plenty of turn
lo remedy all the defects which were
pointed out, but that it' In' failed to d
, such improving, t hen the commiMion
would be necessitated t step in and
codihI him to comply with I lie stale
law.
Mr. Itanium refused to admit that
the commission had not moletcd thorn
lie said that n member of llu- It. li. V
company was compiled to appear be
fore the commission last spring. Mr.
Wtt told him that it was not the fault
of the commission and that as the rep
reaenativa's fare did not rout him anv
thing mi'l he was out only I lie price ot
one meal, it would probably not break
the comjianv.
