Oni; of tho Ix-Ht ndvertin(d towiiH In
the Httite. of Oregon in Mr-dforH. This
we aay without any diftparaenicnt of
the efforts of other places in the state,
lmt rather to atir them to emulation.
Within the hint year MMford has ex
perienced a decidrn) awakening. The
younger and more progressive men of
the town have come to the front and
have taken the direction of affairs,
The moHlmckn have been retired to
the back souls. The ttpirit of prog rem
has been in the air and the opportuni
ties for profitable investment are at
tracting the attention of outside capi
tal. The results are already apparent,
Mod ford has many advantages to at
tract the homeseeker nnd tho investor,
It is surrounded by a region of extra-
ordinary fertility whose products have
won fnme in eastern markets. It is the
distributing point for a mining district
of unusual promise. Tts people are
prosperoitH and seem to have awaken
rd to the future which l'un before them
A few years ago Medford was a
tdcepy, ItHtlcHH community, heedless of
its opportunities, blind to the possibil-
ItieH within its grasp. It was unknown
find iinndrcrtised. Through pnsftcngera
bn the Hon thorn Pacific glanced idly
from the car window t the little act
tlement. looked up the name on the
time card, nnd then forgot it. And the
natives gti.cd just an idly and with
just as little intercut nfc the pasHcngcm,
without a thought of attracting the at
ention of a srnnger o heir own.
Xnw all this is changed. When the
traveler arrives t Medford he reeog
iifzcu it at once hh a locality of which
he litis heurd n thousand times. His
interest has been u routed in advance
and he in eager to see for himself what
it has to offer. If he in n capilaliHl
looking for In vcn! incuts he wautH to
investigate Medford 'h opportunities. If
In- iH a homcHeelti-r he is predisposed
to Htop nnd purchiiMc nnd build, with
out look i ti(i fnrt her. If he is Kim ply
h tnnrint benl on ctijoynient he we
enmrs t he cliiuu-e for sightseeing and
recrcal ion in n Im-iililv wlmse fume Iim-h
so oft i - it n iiclird Ins cjirs. WIliltrViT
hi- purpose he knows that Medford is
on the map.
What Ikis wniught tie- -l Ad
V. ll:sili','. Intelligent, Well directed
;ii'eit inini;. Without advertising Med
ford would 1 1, 'i e ih niir. I along in t he
mi me old wji v tr n do.eii ve:irs to
ippins adjoining this grove netted f.
o. b. orchard $1170 an aero. Hixteen
and one half acres of Winter Nellis
pears at Central Point netted $111,000
last fail. A year before they yielded
$!WO0 net."
It is not necessary to infer from
these figures that all Oregon in na are
liars. That such returns are possible
tho history of our own Hacramento or
chards attest. Profits almost fabulous
have been made from Bartlctt pears
and other fruits grown upon our river
lands, and from Tokay grapes and ber
ries in the American river district.
Hacramento looks with no jealous
eyes upon the development and pro
ductiveness of southern Oregon, for
that region is more or less tributary to
this city, and destined to become more
so. Medford, for example, in about half
way between Kan Francisco and Port
land, and its needs are more easily aup
plied by our wholesalers than by those
of either of the two cities named.
But Medford has aspirations of her
own. Although her present population
is but 5000, it is growing rapidly, and
The Tribune says the place is "destined
to be the metropolis of a vast inland
empire. ' '
Let us hope so.

ITALIAN ARRESTED FOR
AMU SEME NT 8.
MURDER AT TREKA
(BY ED ANDKKW8.)
The panorama representing the Van
sion Play is a scries of beautiful and
impressicve scenes beginning at the
Nativity ami ending with the Crufi
fixion. This play is given at Ober
amergau every teu years, and pilgrim
ages are made from all over the world
to see this wonderful presentation. The
actors who are permitted to appear in
this play are selected from the com
mon people, and only those who have
lived the purest lives are allowed to
jMrsonate the sacred characters.
Ho great is tho Impression made by
this play that tho entire village of
OhcranimcrgHU is permeated with an
air of solemnity. It is said that these
series of pictures now being presented
at the opera house cost, originally $700,
000. It surely is a magnificent specta
cle and leaves an impression upon one's
mind which is more vivid than could
be produced by oratory. The story
of Christ from even a literary stand
point is wonderful, and when we come
to add to it divininty, there is no won
der it Iiiih been the leading t heme of
life for -0 centuries.
Kvi'iyone should avail themselves of
the opportunity of witnessing this most
beautiful pfiuoriinia nt the .Medford op-
ra house tonight. Tonight will close
the engagement.
