History relates a glowing story of the disappearance of Livingston in darkest Africa, of the relief expedition sent by the New York Herald's publishers to discover his where abouts, of the achievement of Henry M. Stanley who found his quest and returned in 1872 a short year before Living ston's death, to unfold to the world the diary of the mission ary with its wealth of information about peoples and coun tries then unknown to the world. - - -- k i Livingston first went to Africa in 1840. Originally his quest was to discover and develop fields for missionary en deavor but later his explorations led him to war bn the slave- traffic. In 1866 he was proferred a commission from ine Hoyal Geographic society to relinquish his missionary work an devote himself to exploration but he answered that he must go 'as a missionary add do geography by' the. way.. ' Undaunted by loss of medicines, shaken but not over come by fever, deserted by his attendants, Livingston kept on in the heart of the dark continent. His wife died in Af rica, his son Robert was killed at Gettysburg but the courag eous adventurer went on. It is significant that on the' site where the slave-market once stood in Zanzibar, there is now a great cathedral built by negro hands. It is likewise to be 'remarked that Livingston is the only missionary to lie in terred m Westminster Abbey, i ; 5 1 At his death, "Punch paid him a tribute: . , i "He needs no epitaph to guard his name, - ; Which men shall prize while worthy work is known; -: : He' lived and died for good e that his fame.', Let marble crumble ; this is Living-Stone." ! What affair is it of present-day America that Living Btcn lived and wrought so nobly?

Atlanta. Georgia, as a distributing point for. concerns which aim to do business In a large part ot the South. It out lines Atlanta's transportation fa cilities, the population of the area served, the advantages of concen trating at such a central point fa cilities for serving large groups ot customers -on small . orders, short hauls, economical rates. The advertisement Is directed to the many big manufacturers in the SC Louis territory who may never have thought of such development or who may never have thought of Atlanta as THE city of the south for this purpose, which it is. It is a specific advertisement ana we predict it will bring results. In a Chicago paper recently we saw a similar advertisement tell ing about Philadelphia as a ship ping point, and this was rouowea in a few days by a Cleveland page telling about what that city has to offer in the war of industrial facilities and sites. So you see, the big fellows are "stepping out." But one thing Is very noticeable In their advertisements. They are remarkably specific There's very little "booster fclan." Theyre giving such tacts as the prospect in the other city, may want. At five and six dollars an inch they aren't wasting any space. Further more, they aren't scattering their effort. They are pieking the towns where they have a right to expect some new business. The Atlanta ad Is particularly Interesting. Atlanta Isn't wasting, any time trying to get the St." Louis shoe factories to 'move south. But it does suggest that they are overlooking a bet If they don't grab Atlanta as a distribut ing point. Atlanta has important Industries and It is a good place for many Industries but It always has been and always will be pri marily a distributing point. Ku gene offers much the same type of opportunity to business on this coast Atlanta Isn't a seaport. Nei ther is Eugene. But Atlanta has roads and railroads. So have we. Atlanta serves a vast area. So can we Industry isn't all to be found in the shadows ot the smoke stacks.

AIRPORT WILL BRING DIRECT RETURNS -While those who are giving their time and talents to the de velopment of Medford as one of the major airports of the Pacific coast are making no rash claims as to the proposed port becoming a dividend payer in the immedi ate future, it Is equally true that a lot of people have lost sight of the fact that direct returns wUl accrue from It the first year of operation. A net profit ot $1500 will ac crue as the result of the first year's operations, Is the pledge of those who are in position to know, and if the vclnme of business com ing Into the lo;al port Increases at the same ratio as that resulting to other modern ports, the returns will be tripled the seccsd year. Such Is the experteac3 fcf the Oak land, California, municipal air port, at which the volume of bus iness Increased 300 per cent wUo- in a year.
