CUMMINS A,' D. A. Belldive of Jacksonville is interviewed as fol lows in tha Portland Journal: "Jacksonville is gradually dying. Medford is too progressive for the old town and her people are moving to the hub of Rogue River valley. Another ten years will see the weeds growing in Jackspuvillals. ..streets, and if there are any residents left it will be because of old time's sake." - This is a very pessimistic view of the situation and one not at fill justified by facts. Jacksonville's future has not been brighter in the last ten years than it is today. The picturesque old town can never hope for commercial supremacy, she lost that chance when she lost the South ern Pacific, but as a residence place Jacksonville offers more attractions than any spot in .the valley. Jacksonville is a victim of her .own unprogressivencss. Opportunity she had to remain the metropolis of southern Oregon, and the growth that ford and Central Point could sonville and a large city created, but she failed to take ad vantage of her chance. The ultra-conservatism that prid ed itself on light taxation, of the fact that no taxation stagnation. Opportunity is about to door. She can make herself of the valley. She has the roundings, of shaded avenues and sightly locations. With the coming of the trolley, when transportation to and from ceases to be a joke, her propcrtj' will bo in great demand, and if the old town wakes from her lethargy, quits trying to build up by .trying to tear Medford down, and goes systematical!' to work, she population in short time, but she can't do it by knocking. The larger Medford grows the larger Jacksonville should become, until the one city merges into the other with only an imaginary line between. Jacksonville's fu ture depends altogether upon Medford 's future, and onty , as Medford prospers can Jacksonville prosper, and as jtfedford is determined to prosper, sp will Jacksonville . aiso occome prosperous. ). Cheer up! 1 ' ) - -" ASSESSED VALUATIONS. It would be interesting to discover the process of rea soning through which Assessor Grjeye arrived at valua tions this year, and why property has decreased so mate rially within tho past twelve months, which havo shown imoqualcd prosperity and growth in every line, ' - , Probably newness to the work and miftimillarity with conditions combined with too much trust in deputies is responsible. If Mr, Grieve thought he was pleasing tax payers by reducing valuations ho has ere this realized hig jristako. Tho problem of taxation is a difficult one, and the county is glad to learn that Mr. Griovo will him self fix all valuations tho coming year. Tho higher and nearer actual valuation property is listed, tho lowr the rate of taxation. Tho lower valua tions are pin cod tho higher must bo the rate to raise the same amount of money. Assessor Grieve would do well to follow the policy of Assessor Sigler of Multnomah county, who in four yeaVs bus raised assessed valuations from sixty millions to tAvo hundred and sixtv millions, with a consequent reduction in tho lax lovy of from over forty mills to about fifteen. So much has Mr. Sigler's work been appreciated that tho legislature has twice increased his salary. A high, tax lovy frightens strangers. On a decreased Valuation a higher tax levy is necessitated. Thorofore, the present assessment is a damage to tho county. TAKES T TO CATCH NEGRO 300 Men Solzo Train and Force Con ductor to Take Them to Next Town to Find tho Mur . v' derer.

TOKIO, Nov. 11. "The rapid growth of foreign p rtvics, particular ly that of the United States" is giv en as the cause of new activity hi tho Japanese navy department in its determination to keep abreast of the times, and today it was announced that the department officials have completed tho preliminary steps for tho fourth period of the nnvnl expan sion scheme. According to tho plans mnle pub lic, tho department will begin to sup plement tho present naval strength of Japan in 1012 by authorizing the construction of three additional war ships. This is considered necessary to mnintnin tho balance of naval strength in the Pacific. It is pre dicted that tho present 4tax rate will not bo changed on account of the plans for additional ships. Tho announcement todny follows closely upon tho dispatches from the United Stntes that President Tnft is in favor of ship subsidy for the pur pose of oxpanding the American mer chant marine on the Pacific and At lantic coasts. High government officials look upon Tnft's declaration as an indi cation that tho United States has in tention of tnking an active part .in tho fight for commerce, nnd it is ar gued that an increase in tho American department in tho Pacific naturally would follow thfl inauguration of such activities.
