It's a lialiil with a ureat uihiiv of those of us who
call ourselves Oreoiiiaus to approach new projects li
a crah. We sidewise, hackwards or crawl around
anylhinu; hut. a direct .approach. When it is desired to
attain certain cuds, we liein to figure how tin y cannot Ik
attained and find a tliiiii-uuiil obstacles blocking the w:n
lu short, we figure how not to do things, iiiM"ail of ho,
lo do them.
I'ersistciK'c, coinage and brains can accomplish almost
anything. There never was a stone wall that could not be
climbed or K"1"' around. There are few obstacles that
cannot be overcome if tackled aright. Desired ends that
cannot be attained, if reasonable and proper ctiort is made
are scarce. Nothing worth while comes with. nit el foil -and
sometimes lull"; continued effort. The gamblers'
gains tin- net-rich-(iiick gains are not worth the hav'.i;1,
for they cost so little.
It is the struggle for things, the battle to overcome
obstacles, the long, hard fight against odds, rather than
the actual attainment, that gives life its zest. ' work
to win, but rob a victory of the effort it cost and the glory
has departed.
Any community, ambitious to become something more
than a country crossroads, has a struggle before it and
tin' more ambitious the town, the harder the struggle, hard
er perhaps in Oregon than in some other states, for con
servatism tends to impede progress and development is
proverbially slow. There is no reason under the sun why
Oregon, as rich or richer in resources than her sister states,
should have so long lagged behind in development.
Medford. a city of newer Oregon, has accomplished
wonders for a small city, but there is still much work to
do before ambitions will be realized. There must be no
halt in the program of progress. The coining summer
must see greater growth than the city ever realized before.
Street paving and public improvement must be pushed
vigorously. Systematic work to secure factories and pay
rolls must be undertaken in earnest, while the publicity
work must be carried on more vigorously and on a larger
scale than ever before.
Aledford has the name of going after what she wants
and getting what she goes after. She must live up to the
name and play the game. No city is built without effort,
and united, persistent effort at that. When an obsade
confronts tbe city, it must be rolled out of the road, for the
path of progress must not be blocked, even temporarily.
Medford s future is brighter today than ever before
hut it is so only because of the untiring efforts of the
past. To realize that future, ceaseless effort must be put
forth in the present to do things-so that Medford may
indeed become a city m all that the name implies.
Wither subsidy nor other consideration has been demand
ed only a chance to risk big sums of money in something
that no one hitherto has had either the knowledge, nerve
oi' resources to tackle. Hearty co-operation on the part
or .he community should be forthcoming to enable the in
vestors to bring their plans to a successful 'eaturity.
I'pon the success of these ilans hinge many other pros
pective enterprises, for Colonel Mundy and associates are
the most progressive promoters that ever n.iited Medford,
and have brought moneyed men of the east into touch with
the countless undeveloped resources of this region, one
of the richest sections in the world in undeveloped re
sources, so that an era of development may follow.

The authentic announcement printed exclusively in
The Tribune that development of AletUord's coal field
is lo he undertaken upon a large scale and that boring for
oil will licgin at once, is the best news published in .Med
ford since the legislature voted an appropriation for the
Orator Lake road, For many mouths the prospective de-velopei-s
hae been acipuring properly and options that
would make the proposition worth while if expected re
sults niatenali.ed. They have already invested over
f UKI.UH.) in the purchase of land, and preliminary work
justifies an etenMe investment.
It is planned to mine eventually 7,'hX tons of coal a
day. The coal bed is one of the uavst extensive in the west,
according to go eminent geologists, and extends for l'J
miles along the eastern slope of the valley. Within a few
months oiKi miners will lv working. Whether or not oil
will be found the future alone can determine, but indica
tion., are fa orabic.
Colonel .1. l- Mundy and Patrick Murphy, the leadinu
spirits m the promotion ot the projects, are practical coal
uud oil opeiaiors of the Springfield. 111., district. Allied!
with llieni are a number of eastern coal miners, who have'
seen the local field and are satisfied that the prospects jus ,
tify development.
The opening et coal mines means an enormous initial:
expense. Uaihvads must W constructed and equipped.!
a nnning town built, expensive machinery installed and
countless other investments made K-foits am returns are!
tvceivtl. The csil land itselt costs a fortune to a.,(uire.
The coal mines, if developments prove what thev arc
expected to prove, will be the greatest asset Medford or
the valley could possess. Not oi.lv will thev furnish
elipatioll for liundi-eds and a stca,; pai.ll. but evtiv j
Hvontie of busiiuss will feel the iii!.ctus Pactones will!

It is the duty of everyone to assist the ,M,.moters mj
every way possible in their efforts to develop the countrv.
