mediately became and has ever since been
the leading spirit. An imperious autocrat
by nature and organization he can’t live in
a town with any other animal like himself,
tn the beginning and until the past few
years Central Point had the same opportu
nity of becoming the largest commercial
and business center of the middle valley. It
had all the advantages that nature could
surround her with. But the imperious au
toe rat had located there and the superior
force that his personal admirers laud him
for has been the dominating rule of the
town.
The result—Merritt has been aphenom-
inal accumulator of wealth. His town, ac
1 cording to his own version, is strewn with
wrecks of his neighbor* in business. Gold
Hill on one side and Medford on the other
] have prospered and grown steadily. As far
as
1 business life and prosperity is concerned
the vacant buildings in Central Point testify
that the town is deader today than when
the Hon. J, W. Merritt located there in its
:
infancy.
Merritt’s store (with the excep
tion of one other, which expects to retire)
is the only store in that town.
In other words the practice of Mer
ritt philosophy by Merritt in Mer
; ritt’s town has built up Merritt at
about the same ratio that it has blight
1 ed, destroyed or kept back the prosperity
of his neighbors.
