Efficiency of the present Medford city administration is sliown by the remarkable record made. It has been a business administration, such as is often clamored for but seldom realized. An enormous amount of public work has been done and cconmically done, still more is in prospect, and yet a lower tax levy has beeii secured than in the year previous, despite a decrease in assessed valuations. Street paving was done this year at a reduction of from 10 to 20 per cent over the cost of the previous year. The plan for the coming year is to let all the work in one contract, probably five miles or more, and so secure a still lower figure. The manner in which the council successfully overcame the difficulties in the way of extending the water system with a depleted treasury, shows considerable financial abil ity. As a result, fifteen miles of water mains were con tracted for at a lower figure than ever placed before. Between six and seven miles of lateral sewers have been laid and a new trunk sewer ordered for the east side all at a less cost than similar work has heretofore been done. Miles of streets have been graded, houses numbered, a settlement obtained with the electric light company, and all this work done harmoniously and with a surprising at tention to detail on the part of the mayor, city council and ' other city officials. Having found the right men, it is only sound business judgment on the part of the people to keep them in office until they will have completed the transformation of the village into the city. And the people will not be found Jacking in appreciation of the situation for when the votes are counted, Councilmen Eifert, Wortman and Merrick and Recorder Telfer will all be found re-elected by large majorities. 49W&S? This paper would not say a word against the personal of the opposition ticket headed by Dr. Sweet, but as it is Xoor policy to swamp horses while crossing a stream, it would be poor policy, at this stage, to trade the tried and found efficient for the unknown.

'County 'Commissioners Owen and Patterson are to be. congratulated upon their determination to continue the warfare against fruit pests, and co-operate fully with Gov ernment Pathologist O'Gara in his campaign for clean or chards. It seems that the action of the commissioners was misconstrued and that they never contemplated the with drawal of support. JSFo money the county can spend can be placed to better advantage than money spent in eliminating fruit pests from the Rogue river valley. If twice the amount called for were needed, it should be cheerfully forthcoming and its expenditures would be universally approved. Fruit raising is the great industry of the valley and upon the freedom from pests depends its success. Nature has made it easy to control all the diseases that afflict the orchard in this isolated mountain valley and with reason able care, if not entirely eradicated, they can be controlled. WAKE UP! MEDFORD. There should be a full attendance at the Commercial Club tonight. Many important subjects are to be discuss ed. Time is ripe for a public awakening and rallying to the support of the club. It now numbers 275 members. It should number 500. Ashland has just celebrated the passing of tho 400 membership mark by the local club. If Ashland can got 400 members, Medford ought to get 600, for Medford is more progressive and sets a faster pace.. Medford beat all Oregon in the growth of postal re ceipts and bank deposits in 1909. Surely Medford should lead all tho commercial clubs in membership. Medford can and Medford must. CAN FEDERAL OFFICIALS GAMBLE IN OREGON? To tho Editor. Is it permissible for a federal office holder to gamblo by betting on election? Is such ac tion punishable with dismissal from service? Is it not the rule that minor federal office holders must keep out of active politics? CONSTANT READER. Federal office holders take an oath to obey tho laws of tho nation and state, and it is a crime to gam lie in Oregon. Roosevelt dismissed a number of office holders for "per nicious partiunship."

If we drop a lump of sugar Into a cup of tea we Hud It takes a consider able time to melt If allowed to remain nt the bottom of the vwi', but If wo hold It up In the spoon near the sur face of the liquid It dissolves much more rapidly. This Is owing to thu sugar as It melts rendering the portion of the tea containing It lieuvter. The sweetened jxirt. therefore, descends, leaving the supir constantly In contact with unsweetened or only pnrtlally sweetened tea-lu faet. a continual circulation or tluld Is promoted until the whole Is dissolved. When the suirar Is placed or permitted to lie at the bottom of the nip It dissolves until frequently sweetened by tho same stir ring up process. A Question to De Considered.
