To the Kdito.: 't '. vjroniuit oi' tin- :td hist, mnhes : ' tvidion dis tinction in favor of S;.i. .n as against Medford. Tt says. (iSalrin lrns raised $7000 for publicity purposes. Eleven - other jrood towns should join iii the procession7 and it places .Medford the list. Last year Medford expended over JfMtno inr such purposes. This vear it will lend the procession. Thousands of acres of land were sold, last year at over $IM0 per acre in Rogue Kiver val ley. East week three sales were ef fected at over $-100 per acre, and these values were not fictitious. Every well kept orchard in the valley paid its original purchase price with the net product of last yeur'w crop alone. We have in the vicinity of Medford 25, 000 acres devoted to pears and ap pbs. Xone of these acres can be bought for less than $100, and much of it for nothing less than $S00 per aero. "We have other large areas of valuable fruit land yet awaiting the patient hand of industry. There were more new buildings erect ed in Medford in 11)07 than in any other town in the state outside of Port land. We have a few non-progressive citi zens in Med ford who. in the future, must either "move on" or go out of business. They are in the way of the live people. The Oregonian will idease correct its, statement and say "Med ford leads I them all." VM. M. f'OLVTG.
