"Medford is a wonderfuily rich

"In addition to horticultural, min

is n groat ossot. 'Many peoplo will,
as the country becomes known come
hero to reside just for the climate,
which far surpasses that of southern
California. A han has but one life to
livo, and he might as well livo it where
he can secure some enjoyment.
"Medford will boeorue quite a rail
road point and branch roads will tap
tho country from sovcrnl directions,

COPENHAGEN, Sept. 7. "Bully
for Peary."
This was the first exclamation of
Dr. Frederick A. Cook when I hand
ed him a dispatch from Commander
Peary to the United Press announc
ing his successful quest of the north
pole. Continuing, Dr. Cook said:
"There cannot be any doubt in the
minds of anyone who . knows Com

came from him. Its wording makes
me sure that he reached the pole. It
sounds so like peary.. I am mighty
glad Peary has been successful, for
he is one of the bravest, most per
severing men who ever -went north.
He deserves all the honor that will
come to him, and in addition I am
certain that his reports will corrobo
rate the data I have collected. : Of
course it would be hypocritical of me
to attempt to conceal the fact that
I am delighted to have been able to
