The bonds are in small de nominations and a negotiable security. Creeks on any Mod ford bank taken in payment. What the loatfs Are. These gold bonds are in denomina tions of $5, $1U and $-5. They are in the form of a popular loan for $4000. They are secured by a first mortgage upon the property and plant of tho Medford Publishing company, compris ing a daily newspaper, Tho Tribune, a semi-weekly newspaper, the Southern Oregon ian and Jacksonville Times, with the largest circulations in southern Ore gon; and an up-to-date newspaper and job printing plant. The bonds are a safe investment at a higher rute of interest than any bank will pay and butter security. They are negotiable and recommended by loading business men of Medford as a good investment. They draw interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, payablo the first of June nnd the first of December. They mature in five years. Kach bond has coupons attached, on presentation of which upon the dates on which it ma tures, calls for the interest due, which will be paid by the trustee, the Jack son County bank. Why the Bonds ire issued. These gold bonds are issued to raise money to enlarge and improve the print ing plant and to continue the publica tion in a better form of the Daily Tri bune ami the Semi-Weekly Southern Orcgnejuu. Jt is desired to make it wt ill ncttcr. It is proving inadequate to handle the volume of business which the rapid growth of the city insures. It is desired to make the daily cover all the towns of the Itogue Kiver val ley and make it in every way a news paper that t he cut ire vjillcy will be pnnnl of. All of the money secured by the sale of tliene bonds will be invest ed in the property, all of which will be subject to t he mortgage given us security for the bonds, Medford is destined to be a large city, its daily a yrcat newspaper worth many times the original investment. Medford Publishing Company. The Mi d ford I'ubli.shtng company is eoiiii"S'-d of reputable business men of Mediuid, uho have backtd their judg tneiit .villi their money. It is iucorpo whieh only part has been subscribed. The balance is treasury stock. Of the rated for itilii.iii'ii capital stork, of stock already issued, a majority is in tin1 name of (t. Putnam, editor and man uger. Then' is no "water" in the stork, it all represents money actually paid in. The by-laws of the company pro i.lo that t he ed it or and manager alone is responsible for the editorial and business policy of the paper. The dircctois of th uu-ern are the follow "ng well known business men of Med lord: W. I. Vnwttr, K. Osenbrugge, J. I'. lfe.hly, II. c. Stoddard, '. K. Kay. ' . 1 'lit nam. K. (i. Sin i 1 b and J.

None of t hem exer cises "iiy control over the poliev of tin pap.i. Not a Speculation. If you are ioouing far speculation, don't buy these gold bonds. They are not a speculation. They are an invest nieut. These gold bonds will not make von rich, but they will give you a good re turn upon the money invested. You will not put in a dollar expecting to get out ten dollars, for you won't do it. Hut vou can put in your dollar and be sure of getting it nut again with good inter est also. Again, t hese gold bonds beat nny scheme of hiding coin in tin boxes or stowing it nway in safety deposits vaults. It keeps the money in circula tion and helps make times better, as well as encouraging a praiseworthy en terprise. It is to the investing, not the speeu biting public that these bonds are of feri'd. The best financiers in the city recommend them. Tho Paper' a Future. A great future lies before this conn try, and before this newspaper.

In addition, perfect cleanliness rules, and our service is prompt and efficient and our cuisine irreproachable. o THE HASH eral public. As long as I am connected with the papers, and I intend to be con tinuously, they will be newspapers ia tho strictest sonse of the word, and not organs of any person, corporation or clique. "Because a person is a stockholder or bondholder in this concern does not entitle him to special favors when tho interests of the public clash with his; or to immunity from criticism. "I desire to enlarge the scopo of the daily, to make it the newspaper of the valley, instead of one city in the val ley, and to quadruple its circulation and business. To this end I ask your co-operation, and in no way can you co-operate better than by buying our securities. 11 G. PUTNAM, Editor and Manager." Aro Good Investment.
