"THE BIGGEST VILLAGE."

Tom Richardson said that Medford is the "biggest vil
lage in the world," the "most cosmopolitan small town in
existence," and that every

city, and that no argument
was not instantly forthcoming.

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-

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

Ah a business proposition, good roads yield largo re

lowing tho puBsr.go of a resolution
by the Wholesalers and Manufactur
ers' association In which It was de
clared that in the judsment of tho
association Canada doe3 not unduly
discriminate against tho United
States It was decided to petition
President Taft to declare tho mini
mum tariff duty effective on Im
portations from Canada. 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
