Within coiiiparativcly rocont yearn
tliaru Iiuh boon opened to tlio efforts
of man a veritulilit land of pronitHp,
which in today cattily iieceHHiliie from
any point in the United Klatcx. Here

which liaM'becn endowed by nature
with the natural qualities for pro

to him itK value many-fold. Here in
no dreary Ht retch of barren wimtc to
conquer, no outlook of hardHhip and
unrewarded preliminary toil before
the joy of material return. This
work hntt been done by nion who saw
the poKniliilitioH in n virjfin country
and had faith in and tlio courage of
their own convictions Theno men

try in the rough, and through their

Hcltled in thin Modioli are n contented
lot, for bore relentles nature deems
to have laid aside her xroiirgn, iih a
mother to her favored child, and
iiian'n effort in never Hpent for naught
Thin modern land of milk and lum
py lies in the Bonthern part of the
Male of Oregon in n fraction known
iih (be Unfile River valley, and itn
very heart in the eitv of Mcilford.
The pride of the lloguo River val
ley in Mcdford, a young city wIioho
grow th ban beeii like that of the boom
townH of a decade ago, excepting for
the fact that those who lnid out the
city chose wisely its site, and in con
sequence there has sprung up n sub
stantial city, which has hcen built to
grow and prosper continually, and
which nothing within the scope of
mun'fs dctine limy keep from pushing
forward to future greatness. Mcdford
has n central position, and because of
its railway connections all the im
mense agricultural, horticultural,;
timbered and mining wealth within n
ti radius of 100 miles is tributary to
it. And because of this, coupled with
its natural attractiveness, Mcdford is
undoubtedly destined to be the place
of greatest commercial importance in
southern Oregon, as well as the most
populous. There at. present (10(10 per
manent inhabitants in Mcdford, mid
it is tlio supply point of a population
of fiO.000. From its present rate of
growth, however, Mcdford will, with
ing the next ten years, have nt least
.10.0(10 residents within its ltordcrs,
find its environs will furnish a great
ly increased number of persons, who
will depend on Mcdford for the car
rying out of their business affairs.
Resides being the western termin
al of the new Pacific and Eastern;
railroad, it is on the main lino of the
Southern Pacific railroad, 3.1t miles
sou Hi of .Portland and 442 miles north
of San Francisco. Tts altitude, is
1174 feel, and it is blessed with n
climate, which keeps the mercury al
most stationary, winter and Rummer,
k is surrounded by a country equally
blessed, for, to the farmer, it must in
deed be welcome news to hear that
(hero is a place where drouths are un
known and where the sun shines nt
the time when it is most needed,
where there are no mosquitoes, no
"eliiggers," no ticks, gnats, no black
flies and no fleas, where cyclones
never occur, and where enrlhnunkes.
and hailstorms nro unheard of.
Mcilford is n city nf paved streets
and of beautiful homes, of handsome
parks, of churches and schools. There
are solid brick blocks of linsinoss
houses, and throughout the city there
is evidence on every hand of a per
manency which is especially nltvne
tivn 4n tlio investor and to the pros
pective settler. Tn Ibis young city
there is a water system which cont
$500,000 to build; its supply is un
limited, being n pure, wholesome hnd
clear water from the adjacent ice
capped monntftinn. ;
The Pnelfio and Eastern railroad
make Mcdford the gateway to Cra- all in llourihhing eonilil.in, with ng
lor I 'H liii national park, and this fact, grcgalo deposits of $1,, 100,000 mid
ouplod with the I'lK't that there is
a wonderful good roads movement un
der way, will bring to ttiia section
of Ilia country thousands of tourists
who must "sch America first" or who
will see it last.
The automobile, one of the surest
.igliH of prosperity, has already made
its way in Mcdford and the surround
ing country to such an extent in
Mcdford, in fuel, that that city to
day boasts the greatest number of
automobiles in use per capita of popu
lalion in ull the world, No city in
Oregou,outside of Portland, has half
hit many automobiles.
The territory of timber tributary
to Mcdford extends far beyond the
limits of Jackson county, and in this
alone lies n most promising field for
the building of fortunes. There arc
upward of 22,000,000,000 feet of first
grade standing timber, long bodied
trees, towtr-ng fr,m 00 to 200 feet.
Most of th'.-x trees will cut five to
eight 1(1 -loiit logs and are from thrco
to oigl.i feet iti diameter on the stump.
Fully 05 pur cent of the logs nro sur
face clear. The sugar pine is the tree
of greatest commercial importance,
and the sugar pine forests of the up
per Rogue River section are the larg
est in the world. Sugar pine has the
outward appearance of white pine,
but the timber is lighter and stronger
and lakes it higher polish. For fin
ishing sash, door and box material
sugar pine is unsurpassed.
At present the business done in
these latter named materials is very
large, and from Med ford great
amounts arc shipped to all comers
of the world.
Other trees of great commercial
value to be found in abundance
throughout the sections surrounding
Mcdford ure the fir or "Douglas
spruce," yellow pine, cedar, oak and
laurel.' A splendid opportunity awaits
the man who will place n factory nt
Mcdford to use some of the laurel
and oak of the surrounding forests
in the manufacture of furniture and
carriages.
already touches the timber belt of
the upper Rogue river, and the rail
road proposed to the Rlue Ledge cop
per mines will open up the vast tim
bered region of the Siskiyou range.
Mcdford today pays to the llarri
inan lines more' money than any other
city of its size on the entire lines of
the system, and more than nny other
city in Orogo.ii excepting Portland.
Mcdford has much to be proud of
and nothing to be. nshamed of. There
fore it welcomes with upon arms all
those who visit its gates. This yenr,
so far, 4000 tourists hnvo visited Cra
ter Lake, a day's ride by automobile
from Mcdford.
.Mcdford has published several
handsome little pamphlets telling
about the city and its surroundings.
Th 'so mnkn interesting rending to
both the prospective tourist and to
the investor. Thev likewise have n
story to tell to the homo seeker, the
man who wants to establish himself
with his family in a place where the
most can be got fi'om a jriven nmoiint
of labor. These pamphlets can be

New York city.
The present railroad facilities of
the region, though they have been
pushed ahead with great rapidity, will
soon be insufficient to take cure of
the place. Several railroad projects
nro nlready under way. and it is iiniv
versally believed that tlio Pncific and
Knstern will build a lino across the
mountain to connect with the Jumps
J. Hill trunk lines, thereby bringing
Mcdford into much better connection
with the country nt large.
Mcdford is already n plnce of great
ponimcreinl netivity, nnd of immense
trade. There nre now three bnnks,
capital and surplus of ff,J,rj0,000. The
banks all occupy handsome struc-;
tares of their own, built at n cost
of $100,000, and are equipped with
the most modern vaults and burglar
resisting devices, ' !
Meilford's growth during the past)
year has been most phenomenal, und j
the fact that approximately 20,000 ,
acres ot new orchaids were planted
during the past two yetirs in Rogue
River valley, with n corresponding
development in ;ill lines of industry,
proves with certainty that this rap
id growth will be maintained indef
initely. These orchards are produc
ing the famous Oregon apples, pears,
grapes, cherries nnd other delicious
fruits which are in such great de
nand in the markets throughout the
country.
This is but one branch of indus
try in this wealth-producing country.
It is a hotne-scekcr's country, an in
vestors' country, a tourists' coun
try, n sportsmen's country, nnd in all
a place where people seem unusually
prosperous and happy, nnd where
they seem to remain contented.
With the completion of the Pacific
und Eastern railroad there is no
doubt that Mr. Allen nnd men like
him will find new fields for devel
opment within the boundaries of
Jnckson county, in which the city of
Mcdford lies. The mining interests,
the cattle industry, the agricultural
and timber interests in their present
stage of development offer greater
indueoiWit for the investment of
capital than is to be found in al
most nny other section of the coun
try. There is no wny to gauge the fu
ture of Mcdford and its surrounding
country. There is but one thing that
npponrs to be sure that this entire
section must grow for many years to
come at even n greater rate than its
past progress.
