THE ROGUE RIVER APPLE.
(By J. F. SviK'Uto of Sonttlo.)
Communicated to Judgo V. E. Crowes on lenrnlnK that ho wna in
terested -in Horuo Hiver Valley.
Darby Richardson, publicity manager of the Roseburg
Commercial club, gives a very good piece of advice to the
business men at Roseburg regarding the value of such ad
vertising matter as that recently secured in Medford by
representatives of the American Progress Magazine. Mi-.
Richardson says: "The plan of this magazine embraces i
caricatures of the ' chief boosters' of the community. Such
stuff is of no value as advertising matter, ami the schemo
is a time-TVorn- one, which most up-to-date towns look
upon with abhorrence. The community should not con
tribute a cent toward such advertising."
Of course such advertising does no good to the com
munitv. but nevertheless, the business men of Roseburg
0t
will probably contribute to the support of the scheme
just as the business men of Medford did. The basis of all
such schemes is personal vanity, and the knowledge of the
solicitor that nearly every man likes to see himself anpre
dated-iii print, even if he has to pay for it. Such schemes
offer everyone the chance to become "a prominent citizen'
with his "picture in the paper" for a reasonable consider
ation, and who wouldn't be prominent? We all of us ap
preciate ourselves, even if no one else does, and it is but
natural that we wish the world to see us as ive see ourselves.
MEDFORD 'S STEADY GROWTH.
Postal receipts for Medford furnish an accurate barom
eter of the growth of the city for February, an increase
of forty-five per cent over the same month a year ago. In
January the increase was fifty-four per cent.
There is no boom in Medford, and never has been any.
There is, however, a steady growth, which has continued
uninterruptedly for five years. During this period the
postal receipts have shown an average annual increase
each year of from 30 per cent to 35 per cent, a showing
equaled by no other city in Oregon,
The banks also reflect the growth of the community,
there being approximately $2,000,000 on deposit, an in
crease of over 40 per cent in a year.
Although Medford has experienced phenomenal build
ing activity, building operations have lagged behind tiie
needs of- the city. With the increase in population for five
years, there has been a greater demand constantly for
store rooms and houses than could be supplied, so that no
matter what building operations are planned, for the com
ing year, they will scarcely be equal to the demand caused
by the increased population.
COLONIST RATES IN EFFECT.
In tho days long uro, bo tho 13itlo relates,
In Paradise onco lived a pair; i ,
Tho man was n picture of juvouilo graco,
The woman most wondrous f air.
Their pathway through life was exceedingly smooth,'
No troubles nor trials to grapple,
Till Adntu one day, us requested by Eve,
Took a bito from n big juicy applo.
There nro two kinds of apples, tho Biblical apple,
Tho npplo of Eden, tho onuso of our fall, 3
And the modern npplo, the red, rosy apple,
Tho Roguo River npplo, the best of them all.
From that day to this, human flosh has been heir--ar
To all ills, both assorted nnd doop;
For oonscienco awoke, with its veuoraous sting,
And has never been rooked back to sloou.
Povnrtv. hnrdshm. nil kttuta of distress
Aro distributed now through the nation,
So "All-hail" to tho man who adopted this plan
"T Tfc n onm ihnt'a wnll knmvn trricrntinn.
The red, rpsy apple, tho ripe juioy apple, -
We'll hail as a beacon light burning for us, -
And tho red, rosy apple, the Roguo River apple, "
Will lend us to bettor instead of to "wuss." '

People of Medford should remember that the colonist
rates from all points in the east are now in effect and will
continue until April 15. The Commercial club has many
thousand colonist folders on hand for distribution, and
everyone in Medford writing to any point east should en
close one of these folders, which- may be had for the asking.
Much effective work can be done by individuals in
adding population and capital and in assisting in the de
velopment of the Rogue River valley. Every resident
should remember the responsibility that attaches to him
or her personally in furtheringthis development campaign.
Personal letters to friends in the east, supplemented by
Commercial club literature, will do much toward bringing
people to a country where life can be enjoyed.

AN UNJUST LICENSE.
Placing a license of $50 a month upon ice cream wagons,
a raise of $45 a month over the license of a year ago, seems
an uncalled for discrimination, working an unnecessary
hardship upon this plass of vendor,. "Wherein are ice cream
parlors so beneficial to the people of Medford that the
city government need invoke an unjust tax for their ben
fitt It is true that the ice cream wagon" pays no rent, but
neither does the lunch wagon nor other class of curbstone
merchants. People who buy ice cream cones on the street
' mostly children would not go into an ice cream parlor
to purchase them, and the trade done by the peddler does
ot interfere at all with that done by the parlor, being'of
an entirely different class.
While $5 a month may bo too small an amount for.li
ene, $50 a month certainly seems a violation of tho princi
ple of equality before the law. "
