J K IT in 1 ii 'i tj a n n it ivieatora is going to no a , son, because of tho faith of her citizens in her future. f Cities are built by men, not by nature, and the right kind of citizenship will create a with this kind of 6itizenship, Medford combines the ad vantages of geographical location and great natural re sources. ! Tom Richards'on does not or her resources. Neither y pie. He is unfamiliar with her tributary orchard district, the largest in the northwest. He is ignorant of her mines, ; her timber and her rare climate. lie does not know or realize what Medford is doing, its material progress and advancement. ..2m'KMWj'''"' Here is a city of some 7000 ago there was a .village with climate in Oregon, in the center of one of earth's richest, fairest and most picturesque valleys. On one side the hills are underlaid with coal, on the other with gold. A little further back on the one hand is an immense belt of timber, on tho other one of the world's largest copper districts. Through the valley winds the Rogue, most "beautiful of tho many beautiful rivers of Oregon, wasting more power than Niagara in its tumbling course to the , sea. Beyond in the hills at the very summit of the Cas cades lies Crater Lake, the greatest natural wonder in the .world. Here are 50,000, acres of choice apple and pear orchard with an annual increase in planted orchard area of from 10,000 to 15,000 acres, whose products command the high est price in tho world's markets. Here' are grown the choicest apples and pears in tho world, from orchards "vlnch yield ovor $1000 an acre annually. Here is the ban ner j)0W section of the earth, where, climatic and soil con . .ditions combine o pi'o'duce perfect fruit. Here is whoro man and nature have joined hands to crcato a metropolis for that immense 700-mile stretch between Sacramonto and Portland. Hero is the railroad centor of tho present and the future. Medford will witli- in twd years bo tho only city in Oregon, except Portland, to havo a competing railroad. Already its railroad busi ness, both passenger and freight, exceeds that of any . other city in Oregon outside of Portland. With tho rail roads will come the lumber mills and the sinoltors, tho pay rolls and population. This "biggest village" has spent $350,000 for a gravity water systom and over $100,000 for thrco miles of pave ment and another '$150,000 for over 20 miles of cast iron water distributing system and for 25 miles of sewers witli- in a year, a grcator expenditure per capuu iur ijmmu uu- pr mi its live, wide-awake citizenship, is just starting to do things. Mr. Richardson should keep his eyo on Medford you "caint atop 'or." r TWO GOOD INVESTMENTS. Two investments by any community vastly increase V tho valuo of proporty, tree planting and good roads. For tho amount of monoy invested, nothing increases the attractiveness and desirability and honco monetary , value of residonco property like shado trees. Property , along a shaded avenue is worth more and sells at a higher figure than that in Avhat might bo a better locality but is ' barren of shado. No matter how shabby other improve meats may bo, a plentitude of trees redeem them to a large ' ' oxtont. So as a business investmont, shado trco planting is a most profitable proposition. Uoou roads go with shaded for usually follow the former. Good highways aro the best investment any community can make. Accessibility mcroascB uic valuation oi any property, aim ine jsoiau'ii section doubles in valuo when good roads make it possiblo to reach, it m any kind of weathor. Ah a business proposition, good roads yield largo re turns on the investment, cheapening tho cost of market ing products many times, During tho noxt month ..tion can secure a good road now law passed last winter permitting taxpayers to peti tion tho court for a special levy in their district to cover .road expenditures upt provided for in tho regular levy. ( It is to bo Imped tlwjt nil proporty owners of Medford -will co-operate with tho ladies of tho Greater Medford club in planting plmdQ trees along all streets and in building tho city beautiful, It is equally dcsirablo that proporty owners of neglected and isolated sections take advantago of the new law and secure good roads through their ro- .fionf. man, woman and child in it was Medford was going to be a big could be made that an answer large city, n. tor no otner rea- metropolis on the desert.

Tho reso lution was adoptd last night at a ban quet glvon In the Cadillac hotel. The principal speaker of tho eve ning was J.- I. Williamson, editor of the Toronto News. During tho course of his address Williamson pointed out that Canada maintains a preferen tial tariff covering Great Britain, but that a foreign government should not venture to prescrlbo tho commercial relations between 'tho British nation and its colonies. The adopted reso lutlon follows: "Resolved, That In tlio Judgment of this association Canada does not unduly discriminate against the Unit ed States within the meaning of the tariff act passed in 1909, and with nil due deference we beg to express our senso that it is the duty of the president to proclaim the minimum tnrlff as to Canada on March 31, 1910." set.
