.1 CITY OF HOMES.
Thnre is liardlv a dav passes bu thai sonic strangei
within our cates comments
incidences that are bcintr built in each and every section
of our citv. Recenlly a gcntlcnian ventured the belief
that Medford has more new

cate yourself wherever you may at any point withm the
city, and your eyes will behold new roofs rising into view
in every direction.
Nothing could be more encouraging than this condi

times there are persons given to a false course of reason

large numbers are not (lie kind of people who are in the
habit of sitting around and "eating their heads off." They
are Americans of the best

a country of idleness or want. Land and water are the
two requisites of prosperity. We have the land the best
that lies out of doors and the mountains about this valley
have all the water we shall ever need and which is to be
had for the taking, as we are told it is soon to be taken
from some source in the heart of the great hills.
It, is, therefore, with a sense of exaltat ion and vast con
tent that, we should look upon the new roofs that are li fled,
as from a touch of magic, to the sun of each shining morn

"Cream of Creation." It means more happy people to
share with us the best country on earth. It means that

early settlers creaked their way along the paths of dream,
