Begun la tha tight word, for aa much aa haa been acdoro-' pllahed tha, work ha hardly atrtd, Twenty yeara la not a very long time In the development of a llttla olty ilka Medford. Ita early Ufa began along tha Indian trail and mining camp, but It haa , cryatallsed In tha orchard, the vln-, yard, the dairy and the farm, and la now following tha furrow of the plow. Tha buatllng, enterprising, beautiful city of Medford la not an accident, It, haa been created by an ambitious, ener getic, liberal and progressrve class of v citlsana. Education, intelligence and . culture are plainly apparent In tha many churches and splendid achool aya tern, as Well aa In their many fine bual- , ness blocks. The city atanda today a) credit to ita cltlsena and an honor to -the Rogue River valley. The people , are prosperous because of the rich mines near by, ' because ' of the" aver , richer fields, because of the lumber and . fruit, because of tha water power and the mills. Very nearly every form of . wealth produced Is near by. The Rogue River valley has taught them to take ' conditlona aa they found them and make them pay. They make money- i more easily than they save It. Nature's broad lines all about the Jackaon county -citizen makes him careleaa, open heart- . ed and optimistic. s Their freedom If ' that of plenty, their conceit growa out " of their achievements. -Up to a, very recent time lumbering, ." mining ana miscellaneous xarming, to gether with railroad transportation, de veloped so rapidly that the farming sec tion could not aupply tha cities with food. For 60 yeara the farmer has bean tilling' tha Rogue River valley, but ha is just beginning to learn how to usa It. how to enrich himself from It, how to en toy It how really to feel the mastery over It. In tha recent history of Jack son county one faot stands out vividly, the day of speculation and experiment has passed away, substantial business progress based on plana of perma nency lias succeeded it. New genera tions have come In on tha stage, new enterprises are being developed, new . ter ritory is lielnir ODened through tha adap tation of new farming methods to tha existing condition 'J r 1 1 u -. . ;T.ifT v r -i-v '" v ' J - - V 1 r v ftt ' r ' S i ( ' ; " v:f it'" 4 , J- t J'.'
