It is probable that at this evening's session of the eity
council the petition for an electric line franchise upon the
streets of this eity will be acted upon favorably by that
body and submitted to the people for their action. In
ease this is done it is to be hoped that the action on the
part of the people will be favorable. For there is noth
ing, with the possible exception of the securing of an ample
water supply, that will do more towards building up the
eity.
As it was with the development of the entire continent,
so it will be with the smaller locality. It has been said that
"the history of the railroad is the history of the coun
try," and this may well apply to each section of the coun
try which is covered by the lines of an interurban trolley
company. J -
No better example of the benefits derived from such
a system can be named than the net work of lines in the
neighborhood of Los Angeles. Southern California has
developed since the trolleys were built there in a measure
that has astonished the entire country. With the advent
of the line into Medford will begin an era of building such
as this city has never seen and will never see until such a
line is inaugurated.
The convenience of (lie trolley has resulted in a great
ly increased amount of travel

and farms. Interurban electric lines have had a distinct
socializing effect upon farm
isolation; they have introduced higher standards .and have

a profitable outlet by means of the express and freight
trolley for the produce of the farm. They bring superior
school facilities of the town

the terms agreed upon by the
tee are fair, the movement

MED FORD rjAlliY TRIBUNE,
; What Papers Say :
HARRIMAN.
(feast Oregoninn.)
Mr. Ilarrimno, the railroad magnate,
is coining to Oregon. The press dia
palrhes announce he is coming like a
eug'd criminal, inaccessible to the pub
lic, secluded, isolated, hidden away in
the recesses of H private t nin, not to
lie neon or heard or interviewed.
'. Hut let him come. He is welcome,
and he isn't welcome; we like him, and
we don't like him: he iH both a bene
factor and n curso to Oregon; he has
ili, in- Home'of the worst ami best thjugH
for the Htnte; he tins made it forge
ahead and nan smothered out it in-
lustrial life; he hus blessed and giight
eil Oregon; )ie has planted industrial
seed uird he has kept entire counties, in
tesolation; with one hand ho has hceu
a ehiirilitbln empire builder, -wltli-the
other A-iniHorly blood-sucker; ono nt
his .lamia faces looks out on the green
llehls which bis industry has created,
the other lookii on desolate waste which
his tlnniicial tyranny and selfishness
have created and perpetuated; he is a
paradox, n contradiction; a delusion.
We expect something from him in
one lu-calli and wo expect nothing from
him Ihc next moment; we havo his
promise in vordri ami his refusal In
actions; we il.ten in rapturo tn his
fluttering phrases and we hate him for
the very emptiness of his phrases; he
is the biggest and narrowest, the shal
lowest and the deepest character tie
fore the public.
We arc glad he is coining and again
we don't care; it will mean something
for the state and yet we know It will
mean absolutely nothing; we will look
ahead tu his coming with pride and
hate ourselves for it, after his sump
tuous train has passed and he has pull
ed down his window blind and forgotten
us.
BRYAN'S PERSONALITY.
( Host on t 'ongregationalist.)
Mr. Ilryan wn have known for the
1 of his domination of I he democratic
parly. We spoke Inst week of his re
sources of power and charm. He has
added to our knowledge of his charae
ter by his complete control of the Den
ver convention. His enemies have been
ruthlessly suppressed. He has personal
ly conducted the plntfornl-making. The
delegates hnve stopped at his home tn
pay their homage on their wny to Den
ver. Ho anil he only must be held re
sponsible for all the acts of the con
venlion. Whatever tribute n thousand
delegates and their nttendnnt friends
1,1 pay has been his. lie stands nut
as one of the masterful figures in Amer
ican politics.
