NO BLOOD MONEY.
It is extremely unfortunate that Mr. Ilanley has been
able to temporarily block, through Judge Hanna's injuin
tion, the completion of Medford 's gravity pipe line.
It is simply an attempted hold-up. Knowing that delay
is costly to the municipality, Mr. Hanley evidently calcu
lates that Medford will pay him an exhorbitant price for
the privilege of crossing his land, rather than face th
delay.
Mr. Hanley knows, as well as any one, that a city has the
right to condemn land for public purposes, and he knows
that eventually the pipe line will be laid across his property,
but he would like to wring a few thousand dollars out of the
city instead of the $600 awarded to him bv the jurv or the
$2000 first offered by the city.
But Mr. Hanley will find himself up against the stiffest
game he ever tackled. Medforr' is not an ordinary town to
be bluffed for blood money. He will find himself against
the Medford spirit, the fighting, persistent, resourceful
spirit that has made the city what it is and will make it a
metropolis.
Rather than pay Mr. Hanley a cent more than the $600
he is entitled to, the citizens of Medford will spend many
thousands. If neeesary,. personal subscriptions will pro
vide 'a fund to fight the case
appreciation of his work by awarding the city printing t
" paper, not yet osta Wished, at less than cost of pro
diK'tiou.
This is the history t many newspapers in Oregon. Be
fore a paper becomes a money-making venture, someone
else starts a sheet and t lie public divides its support, forget
ful of the hard work ami persistent effort of the imblishei
in uuikung up me eoinimnuty. The new venture sfni"le.s
along tor a tune, splits the business, demoralizes rates and
Ihen usually dies a lingering death. Xewsnaner nnm ...
the hardest worked and poorest paid individuals in the com
munity. They do nu iv than all the rest to build up their un-
.iRiM.-.-mui- loeaiuy. une-tenth the energv and brains
put into a newspaper would make a man rich in anv othei
business. There is not a publisher in Jackson Count v who
lias made more than a living out of his business. Yet they
keep at it. Their ideals are usually higher than those of the
mere money grubber. They take a pride in their work, and
there is a fascination in it unknown to other occupations.
The editor must be a man' of culture, education and re
finement, courteous, tact fuf and resourceful. He is all
es is
MEDFOBD' 'S AUTOMOBILES.
The percentage of automobiles in the United State
one for each 500 inhabitants.
' The percentage of automobiles in Medford is one for cad
30 inhabitants.
If the automobile is an indication of prosperity, Medfor J
is the most prosperous community in the nation and it is
among the most prosperous.
Twelve years ago the United States had less than a thous-
automobiles. Today it has 160,000.
Five j'ears ago Medford had one automobile. Today it
lias over 200, more than any community of similar size on
earth, representing a total investment of $000,000.
Conditions are unusualy favorable in the Rogue River
Valley for automobiles. They are used throughout the
year to advantage. Farmers, orchardists and business men
find them indispensable.
Automobiles soon pay for themselves in the time saved.
They are a necessity as well as a luxury. They are bus- on
business errands in the day and furnish needed outings for
the family at night a source of profit and a source of
pleasure.
The auto has conic to stay, and each year is destined t,
witness a great increase in the number of this most sensih!.'
of recent inventions. r
.1 NEW NEWSPA PER
Some have their autos, some their yachts, and son".'
their newspapers to amuse themselves with. On no other
theory can the starting of a second newspaper in Cent ral
Point be accounted for. The business is not there to sup
port two papers nor v,-;ls the new publisher filling n l,,..;.-.
felt want.
Sonic three years ago S. A. Pattison started the Central
Point Herald and has devoted his energy and money to
building up the town. He organized the Commercial Club,
is its President, started a program of municipal improve
ments and has been the prime mover in awakening the eh
to life. The city officials, whom he helped elect, show thei v
things to all men, a true democrat and eouall v at home with
the Governor of a State, or with the backwoods farmer, in
in the palace of the puffed up plutocrat or in the logging
camp.
He sees more human nature and its varying phases that
falls to the lot of the average man. Neither gilt nor veneer
deceives him. He separates the true from the false and
easily penetrates the shams and follies of vanity fair.
The editor must have courage to speak his convictions,
and strength to fight for the right, as it is given to him to
see the right. He must have tireless energy and persistence
and not falter, even though he realizes that he is casting
pearls before swine. With unusual gifts of expression, lie
must combine administrative talent and more than th"
average business ability.
The following description of the editor, taken from an
exchange is a pretty true picture:
"Withal, your editor is a cheerful, long-suffering soul,
going about doing good in his humble way. He returns
good for evil. He writes long puffs for church sociables,
and in return therefor, he accepts a hunk of cake that would
sink an ironclad. He notes the arrival of all the babies in
the neighborhood and eternally perjures his soul by telling
how pretty they are. lie rejoices with the gay and mourns
with the sad. He booms every enterprise which makes j
his conm:";:ity rich and goes about himself dot lied ii.
gunny sack coats and one suspender. He glories over tip
fortune of his neighbor, and meekly eats his-osvn repast of
boiled corn-cobs and colored labels off tomato cans. He
can write a sermon, an account of a prize tight, a political
speech, an obituary notice, poetry, split wood, pitch hay.
wash dishes, preside at camp meeting, curry horses, quote
law or gospel or anything else at a moments notice."

GOLD HILL WATER SYSTEM
TO BE IMPROVED
The Oregon Water & Tower Co..
arc making preparations to instill
new apparatus which will give Gold
Hill an adequate water system, savs

These plans include the laying of
a 4-ineh pipe line in addition to the
3-inch one now in use between the
power house and the reservoir mil
ultimately the installation of a new
pump capable of taking care of the
needs of the customers lor some
years to come, unless there is an un
precedented growth in the city,
making improvements in its dam and
intakee so that they can always de
pend upon adequate power for a'l
purposes.
CENTRA POINT ITEMS

A large black bear was m-cii In the
woods, not a mile from the eilv this
week by a man going home from his
work. It was apparently quite limn
and after surveying the intruder in
differently for u moment trotted Icis
uerl.y hack into the forest.
At u special meeting of the Com
mercial club, held on Wednesday eve
ning, a plan was outlined, looking to
the securing of large industrial in
terests for Central Point. It is too
early to speak authoritavely of the
character and magnitude, of the
proposition, but let it suffice to say
that in the probable event of its in
stalment here, the future of Central
Point as a town of commercial
standing, will be established.
The prominent women of Central
1'oint are about to organize a "Civic
Improvement club,'' with a view !o
beautifying and improving the city.
They also intend to supplement in a
quiet yet important way, the work of
the commercial club in exploiting the
