Opportunity For New Policy The outcome of the recent city election is fraught with both in terest and significance, although the personnel of the city admin istration may he said to have changed but slightly a new mayor and a new councilman. Still the change is a great one as it marks the passing of intol erance, prejudice and personal enmity, and the substitution in a new mayor of progress, fair mindedness and the desire to serve the best interests of all, rather than those of a self con stituted dictator. It also means the elimination of influences that have heretofore been greatly to the city's detriment, but which it is not necessary to mention. The city's new mayor will en ter on his duties fully informed as to the contentions that have torn its citizens asunder, al though it is well known that he has taken no part in them. The time has arrived in fact it arrived long ago for a settle ment of these disputes, and it is the earnest wish of every good citizen that Mayor Hartwig will, with the help of the men by whom he is surrounded, bring them to a satisfactory ending. A further continuation of the bitter stuggle that has been kept alive by the two or three on the one hand and about the same number on the other, can mean but one thing that selfish inter ests are still in control, a matter a majority of the citizens voted to avoid. The statement that the water question is the sole issue in re gard to the city's affairs is a mis take. The water question is not a grave issue; has not been one and will not be one for some time except in the prejudiced minds of a few. That we need more water is apparent, that we need a supply that cannot become contaminated is still more ap parent and that we need it as soon as we can consistently and economically get it is most ap parent. But that we shall secure this additional water supply at a big sacrifice is, to employ a mild term, nonsensical. As a sugges tion, let the city get the supply of water we are now using, at a proper figure, and at the same time acquire a property that has not, as lar as the records go, caused a death and is yielding an income of $10,000 per year; then let us provide for a water system for many years to come. We have stated that the water question is not the only issue, and it is not. An issue that is fully as great is the pavement of the business streets, their proper lighting, etc. In.fact, to the casual visitor, the influence of the latter is of paramount im lortance. Let us have more and better water, better streets, and above all plenty of light on everything of a public nature at all times. As to the result of the election being an administration or an anti-administration victory, this is a matter of small importance. It doesn't appear that way to us, still if others look on it in that light we see no particular harm in their doing so. We would, however, like to enquire what is meant by "administration." Does it mean that the few men who have conducted the city's atTairs so badly, irrespective of the protests of many of its citi zens, will continue in their course? We hope not. We trust that the reorganized city govern ment will take all the people into! their confidence and evolve a .l . l ...:n . new order or inings inai win bring to it the solid support of all who are sincerely in favor of a change in policy that will bring peace, prosperity and progress. A Central Organization Our Tortland Correspondent says that "Oregon's recent ap ple show was not only a great fruit exposition, but it marked the beginning of a movement to organize the fruit growers of the whole Pacific northwest on a practical basis for mon? profitable handling of their product. Pres ident Atwell included the sug gestion in his annual address and, as a result, a call will be issued by him in the next 60 days for a meeting at Portland where the matter will be gone into thoroughly. "Prominent apple growers, representing the various districts will participate in the formation of the company, which will be along the lines of the raisin growers of the Sacramento val ley, the orange growers of Riv erside, Cal., and the pear grow ers of the Rogue River valley. Hopes are entertained that the organization to be formed will be a strong factor in bringing about better and more profitable market conditions for northwest fruit growers." Editorial Comment The biggest wheat cargo ever sent away from the Columbia River was that taken the past week by the Norwegian tramp steamer, the Bjornstjerne Bjorn sen, which sailed with 305.866 bushels for Europe. This is the second largest cargo of wheat ever loaded on the Pacific coast. Oregon has a population of 672,765. according to the figures of the thirteenth census, an in crease of 62.7 per cent over ten years ago, when the state had 415.536. The increase in 20 years has been 114 per cent. The gain shown by the census figures entitles Oregon to another representative in congress two years hence, even if the ratio of representation is increased, in accordance with custom. James J. Hill, who has been playing Santa Claus to Oregon for the past few years and pre senting the state with new rail roads, will visit the state before Christmas, according to present plans, and will be given a warm reception at Portland. The Commercial Club will endeavor to show the appreciation Ore gon feels for his part in the state's development. It is ex pected he will remain in this state several days. Medford has a chance to crow over the showing made by the late census as disclosed in the reports recently issued. With one exception, says the census bureau, Medford shows the greatest percentage of growth of any city in the United States during the last ten-year ieriod. The city that outdoes Medford is Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which has a percentage gain of 308. Medford's percentage of growth is 392 per cent. The protected cruiser Boston has been ordered turned over to the Oregon Naval Reserve for use in maneuvers and in perfec ting the training of the volun teer sailors who make up the or ganization. The cruiser will first be put in good condition, certain repairs being necessary to fit her for the purpose, and she will then be turned over to the Oregon Reserve to be used as an armory for the men and a training ship to teach naval ser vice to those who have enlisted.
