WELCOME TO TIIE INDIANS.
All Medford welcomes the Pacific Indians, the host

The Indians are all 'good fellows and will find them
selves in the hands of good fellows. They are Medford 's
guests and the freedom of the city is extended to them.
They have come to the richest section of the richest
state in the Union. No matter what they want, they can
find it here, and along with it the best climate that exists.
Medford can offer the ideal life. It is surrounded by
the finest orchards in the world, in the midst of great un
developed resources, with untold mineral and timber
wealth awaiting exploitation. There is the best of fishing
and hunting and automobiling the year around. Its scenic
attractions are unsurpassed and its people the most cos
mopolitan, and the city itself the most metropolitan of any
place of its size in America.
THE NORTH POLE DISCOVERY.
Americans rejoice in the discovery of the north pole by
a fellow 'countryman. That the successful explorer is
- -w-w j"4 1 ji n. -J!
such a typical American as ur. uook, ratner man one oj.
the brass band, self advertising, notoriety seeking variety,
in which must be classed Peary and Wellman, is an added
source of gratification.
The discovery is the result of merit, of courage, persist
ence, pluck and energy, characteristics which in the long
run always win. It was accomplished without blare of
trumpets or spectacular pyrotechnics.
The world at large was ignorant even of the fact that
the exploration was under way. The financial backer of
the expedition, J. R. Bradley, who divides with Dr. Cook
the credit of the discovery, has been equally modest regard
ing his part in the venture. .
The yellow press of the country has been given oppor
tunity to spring the usual array of fakes. "While Dr. Cook
was still in mid-ocean, long-distance dispatches from him
appear, some of which quote him as saying: "Land has
been discovered on which rests the earth's northernmost
rocks. A triangle of n0,000 square miles has been cut out
of the terrestial unknown." Jn another he is made to say:
"There is no land at the pole, only water, the depth of
which I could not gauge." In still another vivacious nar
rative he is made to say: "1 said to myself, 'Bully, Bully
for Frederick.' I planted the Stars and Stripes in the ice
fiekl and my heart gre'warm," though the thermometer
read 117 degrees Farenheit.
' The world Avill wait until Dr. Cook submits his proofs
of discovery and until he publishes his own narrative.
Meanwhile it will be entertained with fresh copyrighted
fakes and the carping of envious critics, too small to give
credit to rivals.
The discovery is interesting from a scientific point, but
its main effect on the world will be that it will no longer
be called upon to financially assist enterprising grafters
win fame and free advertising. ;
Water bills are payable at tho of
fice of tho city recorder from tho
first to the tenth of each month. No
notice other than this will be given.
Water bills not paid on. or before the
tenth will become delinquent and wa
ter will be shut off withouf TUrth'or
notice. '
