EXTEND THE PACIFIC & EASTERN.
There is probably no factor ho great in the development
of a country as the construction ot railroads. They bring
the communities surrounding a city into closer touch, de
velop the latent resources and greatly assist in populating
, a district. Along the line of new railroads towns spring
up over night as it were, remote rural districts arc sud
denly brought into closer communication with the world,
and values are consequently greatly enhanced.
For these reasons the people of Medford should ex
. Libit a greater interest in the construction of the Pacific
& Eastern, which will tap the great timber belt to the north
east and open up a country rich in resources, not the least
of which is the vast amount of agricultural land that will
, trcbh- its present value and increase many times the present
fruit output of the valley. The men who construct the
Pacific & Eastern to the timber belt are not taking a
chance. They will tap one of the greatest, if not the great
est, undeveloped sections in southern Oregon.
One of the richest districts in Oregon is traversed by
this road. There are thousands of acres of orchards plant
ed along this lino, and its extension and operation will meau
the additional planting of many more thousands of acres.
There arc 12,000.(XX),(XX) feet of merchantable sugar pine,
.yellow pine and fir in the district that the road would tap,
and it is estimated that i,t would require 50 years of con
tinuous manufacturing to exhaust this supply. As fast
as th(! forest is cut. the land will be cleared and planted to
orchards, as the conditions are perfect for fruit produc
ing, provided transportation is furnished.
In addition to the timber now in sight and the orchard
business, present and prospective, a large agricultural sec
tion will furnish business for the railroad, while the coal
and copper mines now being developed would alone pay
for the road in a sh'oHtinW...ri oil well is now being drill
ed adjacent to the road, and if oil is found it would furnish
an immense business for the line. Even upon present
showings experts as well as all residents of Jackson county
who have sized up the situation" believe that the road would
pay for itself within five years.
Hutte Kalis, which would be the terminal of the pro
jected line, is situated in the heart of the timber belt at
the falls of lig liutte creek, where immense water power
can be developed, thiis furnishing an excellent location for
a diversity of manufacturing plants, being so situated as to
furnish these plants with an unlimited supplv of forest
products for manufacture. 1
The timber belt which the road will reach is said to be
the greatse belt of standing timber in the entire northwest.
Not only will the road be a gatewav to the Crater Lake na
tional park, but it will give an outlet to this timber, which
covers 4000 square miles of territory. The opening of this
belt will means payrolls, and it has long been admitted that
the one thing Medford needs is payrolls. For this reason
. the extension of the Pacific & Eastern means much to this
city. It means the development of this great timber belt
and the attendant establishment of mills and factories. The
lumber will be shipped out by way of this city. Yards will
be established here. The residents along the line of the
road will find their markets in this city. Medford is des
tined to become the great distributing point from south
ern Oregon and the construction of the Pacific & Eastern
" will moan that the city lias really entered upon its destiny.
Every resident of the citv who is imbued with the Medford
spirit a spirit that has become famous over the state
should ,tal5 up the demand for the construction of this
road, and .should urge its early extension for with the
completion of the Pacific & Eastern Medford will enter an
era of grrat prosperity a prosperity that will ever in
crease. I

Mother's Day and Labor Day at the
Tabernacle.
There are many ways in which the
Sells-Flo to Consolidated Shows differ
from other oircuses aud a visit to
this monster tented enterprise when it
comes to Medford May 17 will cause
people who have been complaining
that nil shows were alike to qualify
this statement by adding "excepting
the Sells-Floto show."
The union of these two large cir
cuses resembles other tented erter-'
prises inasmuch us the performance
is given under a tent. When it comes
to the cirrus acts themselves it dif
fers widely from other institutions
which are heralded us "great" shows.
The menagerie is more than twice
as large as that carried by other cir-
uscs. Tho only mandrill in captivity
is in this department. The only hy
brid lion-tiger, with the lion's stripes'
on the tiger's skin, is another rare'
feature. '
" A grand street parade is given in
every city visited. And the turn-out
of the Armour international prizo win
ning champions is tho biggest fea
ture offered with nny circus of the
present duy.
1 Sunduy, May nth, will bo a great
day at the Christian Tabernacle.
"Mother's Day" will be fittingly ob
; served in sermon and song at the
1 1 o'clock hour. , The pastor will
preach on the subject "Mother."
This will recall tender memories of
your mother; it wil aid you to ap
preciate her more. Siecinl music
in harmony with the theme.
"Christ, the Church and the Labor
ing Man" will be the subject at the
special services in the evening, es
pecially for the laboring men. Labor
Sundnv is becoming a great day
among the churches of Christ, mid
we wish to make the most of it next
Sunday. Let every laboring man and
every friend to the laboring man try
to be present ta this service. Special
music. Cordial invitation to all.

tetnptedto end his life recently by
taking strychnine. The bottle was
snatched from his hand, but not until
he had taken enough to render him
unconscious. The prompt arrival of
a physician probably saved his life,
though he is still in a precarious condition.

Medford. The tract is only one block south of Main
street, East. The lots are 140 feet deep, with full 60-foot
streets and 20-foot alleys. The soil is a deep rich loam,
unusually adapted to growing fruit, flowers and vege
tables. Now is the opportunity to get a building site in one
of the most beautiful and productive parts of the city.
We are going to place prices on the first twenty-five
to fifty lots so the purchasers can double their money
in six months to one year.. When 25 lots have been sold
we will give away one lot. The majority ..f the 23 lot
owners shall determine who will receive it.
Commencing Thursday morning, the 6th, and lasting

the opportunity.
