MEDFORB PROSPECTS

.MkIuo V. M. CoIvIk Tell of Wontli-r-fill
Outlook for City nml
Vitlloy.
(Ily Judgo W, M, Colvtg, President of
the Medford Commercial Club,)
In night yearn, or Junl an noon an
iniwly.plutitril orchards comn Into bear
ing, R,0V0 to 10,000 earn will bo rerjulred
to transport tho fruit proditctn that will
be offered for nhlpmnnt from Medford.
During tho coming ncanon 1,000,000
peor mid applo trenn will bo planted In
tho vicinity of Medford,
300,000 Acre Xrult I.nd,
Thero urn 1,880,000 noren of land In
Jack non County, and It would bo lnrgely
a guc'N for hid to' nay how much of that
area In capable of being planted to
fruit, but of that nmount I cun nay pos
itively that over 200,000 acres of tillable
land I well adapted to pear mid ap
ple. In addition to thin there Is a largo
area that can ba mndb ttllabla and
equally productive.
The applo In n fruit that does not
uccMd In countries having warm win
ter, because If the nap 1 not sent down
to th root of tha trees, the fruit al
ways In mealy and stringy and I not a
good commercial product. Wo nocd
fronts and cold weather, but tho weath
er must not ba too cold. Tho apple In
not an extreme Northern nor a South
ern fruit, but thrive In a well-denned
temperate cllmata such as we havo In
Jackson County, whore Irrigation Is not
an essential to tho successful growing1
of tho finest quality of fruit.
Xambrlnd Oood, Too.
Situated In Jackson County thero Is
also to bo found tho largest body of
sugar-plno timber In tho world. Tho
bulk of thl timber Ilea In the Upper
lloguo Illvor Valley, and when It has
been removed tho land will prove of
great value for fruitgrowing purposes.
The county t also rich ,ln water
liower resources. It H, Towne, of a Now
York copper syndicate, ban oxpendod
moro than 11,000,000 In developing the
lllue IHlgo copper mine, located on the
headwstern of tho Applegate, 35 mile
from Medford. Thl mlno la virtually
a mountain of solid copper, and has
been practically Inaccessible. The
building of a railroad that will pass
thl valuable property I now probable.
Koa to Cross Xanr. .
Tho Paclflo A Kostern railroad has
been built fourteen mllen out
of Medford and active construction
work I being prosecuted. Wo have the
assurance of Mr, Allen that the road
wl'l bo built, not only to tho. mine, but
ncross tho Cascades to an eastern con
nection. Mr, Allen recently announced
nt a meeting of our Commercial Club
that whon ho had finished building the
railroads ho had projected, tho people
of Jackson County would havo a rnll-
rond to tho Kost. This statement from
tho builder of thl road Is taken by un
to mean that ho will construct a line
Hint will connect with tho Hill or Har
rlman rond Into Central Oregon".
I do not bellovo any other section
of the stnto posuesses greater resources
than aro to bo found In Jackson
County. Wo aro not dependent on our
agricultural Interest. Our timber,
mining and horticultural resources are
contributing their share to tho sub
tantlal prosperity of tho entlro state.
Msaford Boosters Abound.
Medford Is a thoroughly cosmopoli
tan city and contains an many boosters
to tho square foot as uny other section
of th state. Not long ago tho Com
mercial Club decided to raise a public
ity fund. In one afternoon between 1
nnd S o'clock wo raised 13,600 for that
purpose, and within n few days tho
fund was Increased to $8,400. Wo hnvo
spent $1,000 n month In publicity work
during tho past year. Our club ban a
membership of 300, but wo oxpect to In
creano this noon to 400. Based on tho
school census, Medford hnn a popula
tion of 7,800, An an ovldonco of tho
general prosperity of tho county, I
might refer to tho fact that tho pres
ent assessed valuation or Jackson
County property la $36,000,000. Soven
yearn ago tha total of tho assensment
roll was only $6,000,000. An Incroaso
In assessable value of $31,000,000 In
seven yearn wo regnrd as a record that
defies duplication by any other county
In tho ntate.
Commenting on tho abovo ntatcmont,
tho Portland Oregonlan nayn:
A Happy land.
Judge Colvlg does not oxaggcrnto
tho advantages of tho Itoguo rtlver
Valley. All ho nayn In pralso of Ita
cllmato nnd productiveness Is true. The
chances nro that much more might bo
mild of tho same purport without over
stating the fiiotn. Tho tlmo la nuro to
como when tho ohnrmn of this fnvored
region will bo celebrated throughout
tho world, Nobody who lias pnsn.d a
winter In Medford or Ashlnnd can for
got tho bright nunnhlne, tho Inspiring
prospect of tho country. It tn destined
to bo ono of tho gnrdonn of tho world.
An observer who counts tho fruit

Dut whon tho crucial oxporlmont had
