MEDFORD "MAKING GOOD'
Never before in its history has the future looked
brighter for Medford and the Rogue river valley than it
does today.
The straightening out of the tangled finances of the
Pacific & Eastern and its speedy extension to the Butte
Falls timber belt means the resumption of work in many
mills, payrolls for several thousand men, and renders avail
able eight billion feet of timber, including the largest bolt
of sugar pine in the. world. It also insures the construe
tion of large lumber manufacturing plants.
Undoubtedly the road will eventually be extended
through the Cascades to Klamath Falls, thus affording a
direct outlet to the East by means of connections with the
new lines that will soon be constructed through Central
Oregon both by Harriman and Hill.
All signs point to a great revival of copper mining
The price of the metal is constantly increasing and the
next year will probably witness the erection of a smelter
for the Blue Ledge district and the construction of a rail
road from Medford to the copper belt and its eventual ex
tension to the coast. ' '
. The high prices brought by Medford pears and the
large crop has again focused the attention of the fruit
world upon the Rogue river valley as an ideal fruit locality
and the coming year will see a vast increase in the planted
orchard area, which now totals 50,000 acres.
The speedy resumption of work in developing the vast
coal area that lies at Medford 's door, winch will follow
negotiations now successfully under way for the reorgan
ization of the properties, insure more payrolls and a source
of great revenue for the country.
Between fruit, timber, copper and coal, no city in the
northwest has so fineva chance to "make good" as Medford
and none will "make good" faster.

MILL'S LEGAL VICTORY
All Oregon applauds the decision of Federal Judge
Bean in making permanent the injunction forbidding the
Harriman forces from interfering with the Hill forces in
the construction of the Deschutes railroad line.
The sympathy of the entire state has been with Hill,
because he is known as an empire builder, a constructor of
main lines and numerous feeders, a developer of territory,
and because it was felt that he meant business, while Har
riman's frequent promises and failures to perfomi have
lost him the faith of the public in his efforts as a railroad
builder. Generally speaking, no one believed that his; Des
chutes line was anything more than a bluff to head off
competition.
If Mr. Harriman is in earnest in his efforts to de
velop Oregon, there is ample opportunity to show it. All
sections of the state are clamoring for needed railroads,
lie can transfer his forces to any one of a dozen places,
fulfill promises made years ago, and tap Hie same terri
tory the Deschutes road will tap.
Let Mr. Harriman build the Malheur line to Central
Oregon, the Coos Bay line, the Lakevicw line, the Crescent
City line, or any one of a' dozen other extensions, and he
will be doing just as good work for Oregon as he could pos
sibly have done in the Deschutes canyon.
"POLLY OF THE CIRCUS"
Next week the Tribune will begin the publication of
a new serial, "Polly of the Circus," by Margaret Mayo,
ft is a novelization of the play of the same name that ap
pealed to hundreds of thousands of people in New York
and Chicago, and which is now on the road, where it is
meeting with the same degree of popularity.
Ihe Tribune has just finished publishing its first
serial, "Ihe Man From Home," which made such a hit
with its readers, that it has been determined by the
management to run a series of the most popular novels of
the day. "Polly of the Circus" has been selected as the
second of these.
Illustrations in the new story are by Ryder, whose
illustrations of "The Merry Widow" mado a great hit.
The story. is one of the most fascinating and attract ive ever
issued.
"Polly of the Circus" has an atmosphere all its own
a pervading air of pathos, love, humor and a touch of
tragedy. This is a story wherein perhaps the most strong
contrasting characters possible meet, mingle and make
v tale full of human interest. The love of a young pastor
and a charming little, star of the sawdust ring and their
final triumph over the well meaning but narrow scruples
of the church folks makes a setting that is thoroughly
original. A tale that stirs the heart chords of the most
prosaic.

UP CENTRAL POINT
I. O. Robuctt is preparing to erect
modern dwelling this full at the
corner of Second and Ash. The
house will be strictly modem in every
respect nnd will contain seven rooms
besides cbwets, pmitryy, storage, etc.
The location is sightly and the im
provement will be of general value
to the town, says the Herald.
I. P. Williams, owner of the prop-
rty in which the postoffiec is lo
ated. has decided to move the pre
sent building to the back of the lot
temporarily while a new brick struc
ture is to be erected in its place. The
brick will be' but one 'story liigh .nt
present, hut it will ho built with a
view to building it higher should the
occasion arise to demand the addi
tional room. T'10 huilding will bo de
signed us a convenient home for the
postoffiec aiifl Mr. Williams expects
that by building a brick tho office
can be retained in that location in-
ilcfiuitclv.
