MEDFORD THRIVES BECAUSE OF ITS RICHES

CDFORD, Or dept. !5, If tha

' city, you would probably not go
far from whr Madford la now looaiad,
and you would find that . Datura had
dona ail that you could aak to mak tbl
ration around Medford uncommonly at--
, tractive.. Tha next lucky faea la that
tha right kind of man had begun tha d
velopment of It. 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
