I;', first u.orlgage five-year bonds, bear
ing U p r cent interest, payable senii
a ii una My. The bondtt are in mnall de
homiiiatioii and a negotiable necurity.
Creeks on anv Medford bunk taken in

What the Bonds Are,
These gold bonds, are in deiiotniua
turns of $., $1U aud They are in
the form uf a popular loan for $4000.
They are secured by a first mortgage
upon the property and plant of the
Medford Publishing company, compris
ing a daily newspaper, The Tribune,
a semi weekly newspaper, the Southern
Oregon in u ami Jacksonville Times, with
the largest circulations in southern Ore
gon; and un up to date newspaper and
job printing plant The bonds are a
aafe investment at a higher rate of
interest than any bank will pay and
better security. They are negotiable
and recommended by leading business
men ii Medford as a good investment
They draw interest at the rata of
per cent per annuia, payable the first of
tune and the first of December. They
mature in five years. Kach bond has
nupons attached, on presentation of
which noon the .dates on which it ma
tores, calls for fhe interest duo, which
will be paid by the trustee, the .lack
sou County bank.
Why the Bonds Are issued.
These gold bonds are issued to raise
money to enlarge and improve the print
mg plant and to continue the publica
lion in a better form of the Daily Tn
bu ne a ml t he Semi- Week ly Sou t horn
Orcgo"inn, It is desired to make it
still oetter. It in proving iundeiuate
to handle the volume of business which
the rapid growth of the city insures.
It is desired to make the duily cover
all the towns of the Rogue River val
ley aud make it in every way a news
paper that the entire valley will be
proud of. All of the money secured by
the aalc. of these bonds will be invest
ed in the property, all of which will
be subject to the mortgage given a
security for the bonds. Medford m
destined to be a large city, its daily a
great newspaper worth many times the
original investment.
Medford Publishing Company.
The Med ford Publishing company is
composed of reputable business men of
Medford, who have- backed their judg
ment with their money. It is incorpo
rated for $lo.0on capital stock, of
which only part has been (tubscribed.
The balance is treasury stock. Of the
stock already issued, a majority is in
the uaniu of U. Putnam, editor nnd man
-iger. There is no "water" in the
stock, it all represents money actually
paid in. The by laws of the company
provide that the editor and manager
i lone is responsible for the editorial
Mid busine-'s policy of the paper. The
diroctois of th.t concern are the follow
ng well known business men of Med
tord: W. I. Vawtcr, P. Osenbrugge. ,1
P. Meddy, II. (". Stoddard. C. K. Ray.
Putnam. R. (I. Smith and J. I
' lvell. All of these gentlemen, with
Hie eiceptioH of Putnam, took stock
merely f rum a public -spi riled stand
point, to secure for Medford n good
laily newspaper. None of t hem cier
eises way control over tho polier of t lit
pnpv.
Not a Speculation.
I f you re looking for speculation,
don't buy these gold bonds. They arc
not n speculation. They are nn invest
1ieut.
These gold bonds will not make you
rich, but they w II give you n good re
turn upon the money invested. Von will
tint put in a dollar expecting to get out
'en dollars, for you won't do it. Hut
on can put in your dollar and be sure
if getting it out ngaiu with good inter
t r.I.c
Again, these gold bonds bent nnv
-tehcuie of hid'iig coin in tin boxes or
stowing it away in safety deposits
raultvS. It keeps the money In circula
tion and helps make times better, as
.veil ns encouraging a praiseworthy on
terprise,
II is to the investing, not the specu
iatiig public that these bonds nre of
ferod. The best tiuaueiers in the city
recommend them.
The Paper's Future.
A great future lies before tins conn
try, and before this newspaper. The

Tn fact, the lid has never boon on to any appreciable

It's cheaper to build now IIkiii it is to wait till summer,
when pverybody will bo bus;, and you can't got men or
materials.
Building has increased .0 per cent in Portland in the
past month. They appreciate the situation there. You
ought to, also.
Don't delay. We have all kinds of lumber in stock, both
