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.

THE UPBUILDING OF A CITY
(Contributed.) vide for this Increase in population.
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."
