NEED OF THE HOUR.
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. '
For a place of the aim nnd with the
proapecta that Modford haa, to be at the
icrcy of a makeshift water aupply,
urn aa tne city haa at present, ia detri
mental to ita heat intereata and extreme
ly short-sighted.

nut eutitetiti-d with the results of ten

thene reHultH is the objert of fTory in
tf llijjent think ing jwron.
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. Is it not much
better for our country and the people;
