FULL LEASED WIRE SERVICE.
Today the Mail Tribune presents its readers with .a
full telegraphic news service, having a leased wire, and an
operator in its oihee, the only newspaper in the world
published in a city the size of Medford having such a serv
ice. The wire is that of the United Press associatidjti and
connects directly with New York, Washington j Onicago,
Omaha, Denver, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and oth
er large cities of the country. 'Tho telegraph news print-1
eu in me same as mat piiDiisnea m me city qaines, and can
be .read 15 hours ahead of the arrival of Portland papers
containing the same matter. .
v. The local staff of the paper has been doubled and cor-
respondents secured in all neighboring communities.
Owing to the fact that the office is still torn up and the
plant not yet'all moved, it will be impossible for some time
to print the kind of a paper that will eventually be pub
lished. 5
The Mail Tribune aims to be the best newspaper in
'Oregon outside of Portland. It. can only become so
through the hearty co-operation of everyone, and a gener
ous patronage by business men and merchants. With this
forthcoming, the paper will continue to improve in all
lines and become the greatest advertisement possible of
Medford and tho Rogue River valley.
IMPROVE THE ROADS AS WELL AS THE WATERWAYS.
If
With the progress of President Taf t through the coun
try, and especially incident to his recent visit in St. Louis
and trip down the Mississippi river, there has naturallV
come renewal of the agitation for improved waterways,
"with tho proposal that the government, through the issue
of special bond issues, expend millions for widening and
nnnno in vora nnl fiivflin'P nr-inni-nor li nninn'a lmvlinvo
ut there is a section of the country several sections
more vast in extent than those tributary tq the naviga
ble streams and coast line, which .would like; to hear from
' President Taf t upon another and' equally important prop
osition
What does the national government propose to do in re
gard to the improvement of its great highways of com
merce, the public roads?
The public roads of a nation are the A, B, C the very
underlying principle of its commercial prosperity. Through
them is brought together in the aggregate the great freight
tonnage, which transportation systems, whether rail or
lyater, must then take up and carry to tho centers of
distribution.
' In working out a commercial prosperity, the improve
ment must begin, liko building, with the foundation at the
"bottom.
-The movement for the improvement of our national
waterways is a wise one. There should bo loft no possi
bility of congestion. No needed facilities should bo dono
without. ,
But what about the feeders of these traffic highways,
the public roads through which produce reaches them for
iransfortntionl
It is not necessary to enter into any argument here to
.show that this is an enterprise into which tho national gov
ernment may enter, equally with water improvement, at
least to the extent of giving valuablo aid to states and com
munities in the furtherance of this important project,
"without doing aught in violence to its fundamental law.
This fact has boon shown.
' It comes, thorcfore, right down to a question of nation
al duty.
Road improvements will directly oporato to tho ad
vantage of three citizons whorb improved watorways
come homo to but one; tho good roads problom conies di
rectly homo to 75 per cent of tho nation's population,
Avhero tho othor reaches similarly but 125 per cent.
There will bo no voice of protest raised against tho
improvement of national watorways, provided what is
Tight to tho groator majority of taxpayers of tho nation
as not npglectod aand ignored.
' And all that is needed is but for tho vast intorior pop
ulation to be aroused to a purpose not to bo ignored and
say:
fFor every dollar wo givo you for dcopor watorwavs
wo domand that you shall givo us a dollar for hotter roads."
xi is a situation wnovo m wuu-uircoioa, Harmonious oi
lort means more, porhaps, than can bo conceived to the
futuro of tho nation.

Waltham Watches
A Warning
V
The Waltham Watch Company in order
to preserve the reputation of their watches
and in order also tp protect the people who
buy Waltham Watches, hereby warn every
one intending to .buy a good watch, Wal
tham or any other, that it is not safe to. lory
a vateh by catalogue from any of the mail
order houses.
Buy a watch from a jeweler or watchmakr
er-rbecause a professional watchmaker
before he delivers you the watch you have
bought will overhaul it, correct any damage
that may have happened to it, see that it js
properly oiled, and in short, get it running
right and keep it right. The retail jewel
er's own reputation is at stake when he sells
you a watch.
It is very different when you simply order
from a catalogue, send on the money, and
get just a watch.
In have in stock all makes of Gold. Guar
anteed Watches.
