WIIEN WE'LL GET OVER IT.
Most southern Oregon papers favor the new state prop
aganda. They'll get over it. Oregon Journal.
Yes, they'll get over it, when '
The short-sighted rule and blight of the "Willamette
valley mossbaek and the Salem hog is at an end.
Southern Oregon is no longer hampered in its efforts
towards progress and development.
The restrictions of an obsolete constitution an" dono
away with. v
The opposition that defeats every bit of development
is relegated to the past.
Southern Oregon has some representation at the na
tional capital. ' ,
A few other things are done that will aid southern Ore
gon in its development instead of invoking the aid of th"
courts, when all else fails, to stop a worthy movement.

OPPORTUNITIES IN ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
Article of Lucile Rood Conrad in Progress Magazine Doing Great Good
in Attracting Attention to Medford and the .
Rogue River Valley.
In the August number of "The
Progress Magazine" a Chicago pub

ed fruits from Jhc valley are the Spit-
lication, the following article froci zenberg and Newtown Pippin npple;
the pen ol Lucile Hood Lonratl, ap

striking manner the opportunities and
possibilities of Medford and its vi
cinity and is doing much good a.s
many letters have been received fro;..:
eastern readers of the publication re
garding this section. The article fol
lows: Mother Nature was good to the
valley of the Rogue river, in Oregon,
when she showered her choicest liuun
ties ujion it: and in the mid.st of thi.s
glorious valley she placed a little
town called Medford. A rare mid
salubrious climate, a soil so rich ns
to almost surpass belief, beautiful extraordinary
scenery, mountains stored with coa:, best thought
copper and gold, extensive forests of
imestimated value, streams stocked
with the delight of the fisherman's
heart, "speckled beauties," quail,
grouse, deer and' bear in abundance,
and the gateway to Crater Lake, the
greatest natural wonder in the world

At the present lime there are 2,500.
000 young apple and pear trees alone
in the valley. From 200 to 300 cars
of apples are shipped out of Medford
each year, and if the newly planted
and prospering orchards which wi!i
come into bearing within the nev!
few years are'acy indication, there
will be thousands of cars of apple
shipM;d out of Medford annually b,
the very near future. The effect of
this great industry upon Medford iinl

its finger inevitably to a future of
promise. The ver:

Other Resources.
The present upbuilding of the rail
road facilities, the recent discovery
and the development of coal, now
under way, and the opening up of the
largest sugar pine timber licit in the
world adds decidedly to Med ford's
assets. Rogue river furnishes inoug'i
power for every conceivable purpose,
and its influence1 will be tremendous
in the development of this great an I
rich territory, besides adding to the
comforts and pleasures of life. Near
ly every ranch is equipped with elec
tric lights, which makes their light
ing problem simple and easy and in
dicates something of the prevailing
wealth of the community. I might also
add that Medford claims the distinc
tion of having more automoliiles thin,
any other city of its size in the world
and that there are more typewriters
used. This is not only the ease with
the city residents, but the rancher.;
as well arc nearly all supplied with
typewriters artd automobiles, and it
is a sight to the newcomers to see
the number of automobiles from the
country lined up before the "eleve-i
churches on Sunday mornings, hav
ing brought their resoctivc owner-i
to their places of worship.
Prosperity Ahead.
It is hard to realize thai with (hi;
completion of the extension of the
Pacific & Ka.-tcni railroad, which is
now being rapidly pushed, a new cr.i
of prosperity for Medford will dawn,
and that it will tap one of the great
est timber belts iu America. It is in
teresting to nole that i is he largest
body of standing sugar pine in the
world and the largest body of tim
ber accessible by a lateral road in
tho United States. This will inevit
ably mean factories and mills for
Medford, which means pay rolls fin.!
money iu circulation. Some of tin
finest furniture material iu the world
today is accessible in this little city
among the mountains.
Sportsmen's Paradise.
Dear to the heart of all hunter:-
and fishermen, and, it is almost sat''.'
to say, dear to the heart, of ever
man and boy in the united Stales,
here in abundance may be found what
so many lovers of the gun .seek for
in vain unlimited, diversified shoot
ing. (juuil, Chinese pheasants, mal
lards and teal, pigeon, ruffed grouse
and mountain quail are some of the
winged game that you can see on any
bright fall morning a few uiih-s out
of -the city, and the woods are full of
deer nnd bear. So plentiful, in fact,
are the deer that a large doe was
shot and killed last October in a pear
orchard within one-fourth of a mib
from the cily limits. The numerous
streams that abound - through this
section arc i.ll blocked with gamy
trout, and the jacknililiils hop up
and run alonog beside you if you go
for a stroll outside of the lm-ini"-"-
i-enler of the cil v.
Well ' Located.
Hut. no mailer how fertile a valley,
how prospering the country may be,
it must needs have an nutlet to the
fuller world and a shipping point for
Ihe. output of Ihe produce and a thriv
ing, throbbing heart for a business
center in other words, the concen
trated activity of the people al largo.
liogue Kiver valley has this in (be
city of Medford, situated on the
banks of Hear creek, surrounded with
green fields and blossoming orchards,
doing justice to tlio most critical of
artists, beyond the urt of artil'icic.i
reproduction or thu Hiwer of des
cription by tho author's A cli
mate thai raises roses nearly the en
tire year, fresh strawberries on the
table eight mouths in the year, with
an invigorating atmosphere that re
freshes, and a cool breeze tint
braces, makes Medford an almost
ideal place iu which to live. The
paved streets, brick business blocks,
banks. 11 churches, good schools,
well stocked and modern More 4,
abziiudance of fruit nnd vegetables
at any and nil seasons, and its re
markable bealllifulness as shown by
vital statistics, are only a few of the
conditions thu exist in Medford.
Hustlers Wanted.
The . government recognizes the
possibilities of the great N'oriliwcst,
where its projects cover nenrl.i a Mil
lion acres and each year .naihs a
new era of dcvolopmcnt and civil
ization extended to the remotest cor
ners. Now thut the worst stages of
development are overcome, ami Mhc
railroad facilities are theirs, il is the
man that comes in and helps make
known the unlimited advantages that
will reap . the harvest ot llnauce
The earnest, energetic, hustling busi
ness men of the cast and middle west
are gradually looking toward the
coast, ar (heir grandfathers flocked
to the middle west in the earlier
dales. It is (piality that Medford
and Rogue River Valley' are seeking
and they can justly pride themselves
now- on having the fewest forciguei-'t
of any city of its size along th--coast.
Willi our fruit industry growing
every year to an enormous size and
bringing almost increditable results
from the market, with our coal sup-'
ply coining on iinmcdirlely after the
T'nitcd Stales geologists have staled
that there is only enough coal in the
I'uitcd Stales to lart another hun
dred years, our unlimited supply of
the most marketable timber in the
United States and the other most
natural resources make this inevita
bly a place with a future hard to re
alize. - Crater Lake.
Andlast but not least, this is the
mil iirul gateway to (.'rater Lake Nat

government covering 24!) sipini".'

greatest natural wonders of the
world, and the only one that histor
ians, geologists, botanists and zool
ogists are alike baffled on, thai
seems to have no history back of the
part few years. That it is the rim of
an old and extinct volcano, one (but

filled with the clearest and coldest
water, clear as crystal, with no vis
