When the highway department do-
cided to move the highway off pine
street and build a new one follow
ing the railroad between this city
and Medford, much consternation
was felt among our business men,
who feared the move would kill the
town entirely. However, their fears
would appear to have been unfound
ed, to Judge by the number of cars
seen parked on our streets daily.
Since that day our cheese factory
has been built, besides a planing mill
and sawmill and wrecking yard in
the north part of town on the high
way and another sawmill just out
side of the city limits on the south.
All in all, when one comes to
look back over the past six years
one is impressed with the fact that
the town Is continuing to grow and
prosper.
While It is too near the
big city to ever become a big busi
ness town again, still there is no
finer location anywhere for a homo
town.
As a purely residence dis
trict this cannot be beat. Lying as
it does in the center of the valley,
