SUBSCIUPTI ON RATES: 5.00 One month by mall or carrier....! .50 EVERYBODY WANTS IT. That the commercial interests of the valley arc a unit in demanding the continuance of the campaign to clean up the orchards of the county was shown by the action of the Commercial club Wednesday evening When resolu tions were unanimously adopted requesting the county court to appropriate sufficient funds to finish the fight and to co-operate in every possible way with Professor O'Gara. The prosperity of the valley is based upon its orchards, and upon their cleanliness depends their productivity, hence it is a matter of dollars and cents to all the people of the county. The action of the Medford Commercial club should be followed by similar actions on the part of other Commer cial clubs of the valley, as all are equally interested. Not only the horticultural, but the commercial inter ests of Jackson county demand that the battle on bugs continue and the county commissioners should heed the voice of their constituents. JOIN THE COMMERCIAL CLUB. Ashland has launched a campaign to swell the member ship of the Ashland Commercial club to400, and has al ready passed the 300 mark. If Ashland can get 300 members, Medford ought to have 500 instead of 250. Every business man in the city, every property owner, should be a member, for the work done bv the club is directlv responsible for the rapid growth and development of the valley during the past few years. Orchardists and farmers should also be members, even though they cannot attend meetings regularly. The Rogue River valley is advertised as much as Medford by the club, and this is the case in no other town in the valley.. On the pamphlet cover appears the legend, "Medford, Oregon, and the Rogue River Valley," and this is the only pam phlet that does advertise the Rogue River valley, hence all the valley outside the towns that issue their own booklets, should co-operate with Medford. It is to be hoped that every farmer and fruit grower in the valley as well as the residents of Medford will help the good work along by joining the club and so double the effectiveness of its publicity work. m FOLLY 118 IT FLIES A Truce.

Medford, situated as It is In the The Episcopal people are making very heart of one of the most pro- Buch an effort, and tho spirit which llflc and fertile fruit valleys of the carries so many other enterprises to world, must become a city of mucn Influence In the state. The time Is not far distant -when there will bo from 15,000 to 20,000 people resid ing within the limits of the city. It la not a dream never to be realized, but a fact which many of the oldest Inhabitants will live to see. To the newcomer to this city first impressions are always lasting. Paved Btreeta (without mud), largo, fine schoolhouses, good churches, all go far to lend Impressions. Many of thes0' Medford now has, but there Is still room for Improvement. The spirit of Medford Is coming to bo known in and out of the state, much as the "Seattle spirit" Is known. That is, tho public spirit which does things, where "knocking" is unknown. Sure, there will bo some who will remain blind to th0 fact that "fosslllsm" Is a thing of tho past. Now, in tho midst of such pros perity which this spirit must bring there Bhould be a moralizing Influ ence, and tblB Influence must come mostly from that which Is called by the namo of "Christianity." Tho churches of a city represent this a successful conclusion should ani mate the people of tho city here. Fifteen thousand dollars has, been secured by St. Mark's church from Portland to build a business block on tho corner of Main and Holly streets. This money will be spent in Medford. A largo modern hall for social pur poses Is to occupy the second floor. This ball can bo rented for all social purposes. This will supply a long felt want. On Holly street will bo built a Gothic church, 4GJ5xlOO feet. Tho material used Is to bo granite. Tho cost will bo ?12,000 or over. Tho small number of people connected with this church will ralso among themselves $8000 of this amount. Archdeacon Chambers, who has th0 matter In charge, feels that tho pub lic spirit of tho community should ralso tho remaining $4000 to secure this handsome structure Tho subscription paper being cir culated calls for five .annual pay ments without interest. This makes it easy'for ono to mako a larger sub scrlptlon and pay in flvo Installments. A committee of business men have Interested themselves in the matter So we com0 to the seed thought of and when they call on anyono really this article. Tho attempt to build interested in tno impounding, of tno in tho city a church which will bo a city, "don't knock." "Get In and credit to tho city and which will pro- push."
