State Capital Gleanings
GOLD HILL MUST WAKE UP !
n J P Van Winkle is one of the moet delightful character« in fic-
■» tion, but he will not do as a patron saint for any town that
hopes to become a city. General Apathy never commanded a
victorious army. If Gold Hill does not wake up pretty soon, the
obituary of the town may as well be written right now, for there
is no practical difference death and an indefinitely prolonged
trance.
With perhaps the more beautiful location on the Southern
Pacific between Seattle and San Francisco, the natural siie for
a city, surrouded by a multitude of rich natural resources, Gold
Hil, has remained stationary as a hitching post for years. We
have sat like Patience on a pedestal, in a Nirvana of blissful do-
nothing, and watched neighboring towns forge uhead until their
progress is held up aa a pattern to the entire state. While Med­
ford has grown from a bumptious village to a busy metropolis,
while Central Point has taken the trade of our territory from
under our very noses, and become a town of splendid business
blocks, handsome residences and paved streets, we have sucked
our thumbs. Woodville has crept close up to us in population
and commercial importance, and unless we get busy our enter­
prising little next-door neighbor will soon be grinning back at us.
It even may be prophetic that Gold Hilt was left off a map re­
cently issued by the Medford commercial club.
Gold Hill must wake up. It is high time that something be
done, or the town will be hopelessly gone to seed. 1 he organi­
zation of a business men’s association, pledged to a vigorous
campaign of advancement, is a good move. This association has
a strenuous task before i t Hard work will be its steady diet.
But hard work is necessary to pull our town out of its slough of
sloth and slumber.
It makes but little difference what or who is to blame for
the condition we are up against. That we remedy that condi­
tion or conditions, and that quickly, is vitally important. With
the passage of the new charter next Monday one of the things
that has kept Gold Hill back will be shaken off. The new charter
should mark a new and better era. But all the charters between
here and kingdom come will avail nothing unless we all unite in
a long, strong pull for advancement It is up to all of us to get
going in the work of making the greater Gold Hill. Where to
begin is obvious. Begin any old place inside the city limits—or
outside for a radius of fifteen miles.

Co-operation
O-OPERATE conies from the Latin co, meaning
“with," and opus, meaning “work," “TO WORK
C
WITH.’’
The first form of co-operation is with yourself.
The first way to co-operate with yourself is to get
into line with nature and health. Get enough sleep.
Keep clean. Don’t worry. Eat spinach.
Co-operate with your family. Be on time.
Do your p a rt Think up a few pleasant stories to
tell a t meals. Don’t make the t. mily table a gen­
eral scrapping ground.
Co-operate in business. Pull with the men
around you. Don’t pull against them. No man will
ever succeed who has not learned how to work
smoothly with other men.
Co-operate with your home bank in building up
the financial standing and solidarity of Gold Hill
and community.
