Tlin gjyatoat problem eonfrnnting Medforil and the titiaoa of Medford is thii water question, and the longer the solution in dolayi'd the nmrp pensive it will lie. It eau be Mottled to day for half what it will eoat in a ft years, and moreover, it ought to bts sertled, and Hcttlod satial'aeturilv for nil time. If Modtord wihId'k to grow, it inuat fare thw problem :it onee, and lend ita heat efforts and best brains to work ent a Holntion. The lack of an abund aat aiiiily of pure water i the only great drawbaek to the eoinmunity 'i growth. Furnish the water and the people will eoiile fiiater than their can be eared for, ami. the eity grow Ha ;f touched by a magic wand. No matter what the coat of bringing a gravity system from Itutle ereew or Rogue river to Med ford, it should be brought nud will prove the beat veatment over made. Much a water aup ply will carry itself and pay for itself, a haa been the experience in other elfloa similarly situated. Anv other aonren of aapply would be but a make hift, for eventually the city niiiat go in nnn or uw other of these aourcea, and tlio longer it ia delayed the more enatly it will be.

It in my belief that ginseng can be grown on atiT soil by preparing it to suit the hahits and requirements of the plant. Ginseng nt native in rich, moist Roil, in hardwood forests, but I believe it in possible to grow it any where, and by anybody, if they will only tHndy the conditions and be gov erned accordingly. Exports for Past Year. The United Htatej department of ag ricnlttirc report that the exports to ('hina during thn year ended June 30, 11IU4. were 14tf,57f, pounds of wild gin- Meng. valuer! at vi,m)i,S4!I, which in nbout $7.2.ri per pound. One million of ('lunette money is bet r than none for um each year, and from the reports of aoni eof our Amer ican consul in Thina, who are in a po sition to know, unv that the Chinese porta that are now open would pay ua annually 20,000, 000 at the present prieea, and would pay more per pound if that would get it. Apples are n good thing both to cook, i nt and vll, and T am not going to : Hay anything against apples, for they have made Southern Oregon and the j Itogue liiver valley in part icular fa- . oiimn. I hey have hrnught goiri tiy the millions into our enmity and will bring more. The only difference I can see between apple and ginseng Vulture is j that ginseng takes les acreage. less ei-' pense to prepare, less eanitnt to it art with, no exnne of pruning, spraying. ' olowing. picking, boxing or shipping. 1 n fact, it 'a a business that can be en- gaged in by both rich nnd poor profit ably, but it is certainly the business ; for poor men or the men with limited ', means to engage in.
