He believes that there is an unrivalled opportunity for a Job Wng center at Medford calling atten tion to the fact that it Is 431 miles nouth and 341 miles north to the nearest jobbing center, while in the east every hundred miles has its metropolis. He said: "Why, if back j .cast I was to tell them I was going: 431 miles to do some buying all my; relatives would be down to the train ,o tell me bood-by." j Mr. Gates had just returned from a trip to Portland upon which ne Kin, in cuy nas never leiuseu war J& su was accompanied by H.
