"Wlnlc landslide and flood are paralyzing traffic across the continent, spring, with smiling skies, is weaving her green "witchery over the sunshine-showered slope of the Rogue River vallev. The daffodils, jonquils and violets are spilling their fragrance as the robin, red-throated lin net and meadow lark whistle their multitudinal melodies. It is a jaded mind indeed that does not welcome the spring and does not respond to the thousand unheard whis pers and unsung music of this season of new life. The fragile beauty of the newly born clothes old earth with a mantle of freshness, and paints the day with gladness and the night with deliglit. Tim mimnln nf im vrair. the never comprehended mvs tery of the resurrection and the life, is silently performed before our eyes, an inspiration to numaniry to cast asme its worn garb of trouble and arise to fresher, brighter life. It is good to be alive, to drink in the myriad beauties of creation, to watch the days grow longer as the world grows fairer these fine spring days, when life is indeed worth the while especially in the enchanted valley of the Rogue.

Every effort made by those desirous of peace at almost any cost has been balked by unyielding opposition on tho part of the city's officials.

The fanners came into the city to trade, and should be provided with suitable grounds jto leave their teams. For nearly a year, farmers have complained' because the places formerly provided have been supplanted in the growth of the city by business streets. A small lot on Riv erside, owned by the city, in which the mud is knee deep, is the only place provided, and it is entirely inadequate for the needs. There is ample vacant land around the city that could be utilized. Undoubtedly the railroad would permit the use of a portion of its right of way if requested, and the installation of hitching posts and feed racks would be a email item. If Medford expects to hold the farmers' trade, some attention must be paid to their waritS.

This they are able to do temporarily because of the scarcity of buildings and the great demand caused by the growth of the city. But business in a small city is limited and -will not stand a large city rental. Store rentals here are not based now on the actual in vestment, but on an unreasonable watered -valuation. tHi ere are few modern buildings as yet erected, though many are contemplated, and to ask. four or five times the rental demanded for the same room two or three years ago, without a penny's increase in investment, is absurd. The merchant must be given a chance to live and do business on a profit, and this he cannot do if the possible volume of business necessary to justify a high rental is not in sight. The future cannot be discounted too much or the merchants will have to close their doors. J 00,000 MEN ON STRIKE. (Continued from page L) famine in the history-of the city. Children and infants may be de prived of milk, while untold snffer iinjf may be caused by lack of fuel in fritter March weather as soon as the tpresent meager supply on hand ia -exhausted. Short Supply. Tor the time being the small retail 'bakers, dairies and coal yards can meet the demand, bat with the striko of thousands of teamsters, freight JbanjUers, water-front men and rail road yardmen, the supply soon will 4be exhausted. Secretary Hope added that in ad dition to the thousands of union men who have walked out, at least 15, 000 nonunionists have joined the trike. He declared that when the reports are road it will be shown that ihe total number of those who havo quit work will reach from 125,000 -to 150,000. No Troops mi Yet. Director Clay said that with 8000 policemen on patrol duty tho situa tion could be controlled without the aid of troops. The general public, however, is not to optimistic and believes that tho polke would provo ineffective against the thousands thronging the streets today. This belief is Bbared by many of the city officials, who kayt also formulated plans whereby tbtuftevernor may bo called upon to eend in the militia at tho first sign of the inability of the police to con trol the crowds. No Street Gatherings. Mayor Ifeyburn issued a proclu Mtion tonight forbidding even small tret gatherings. GUiftMB were warned by the mayor to remain off the streets through which car lines pass. Building operations have ceased. The entire body of men engaged in the building trades has quit work. Among theso are 2000 union brick' layers, who failed to report for work toduy. Their action created surprise, as they recently had en tered upon an 1 ronclad agreement with the contractors not to strike within a fixed period. Largo Union Out. The United Hebrew Trades, with 25,000 members, comprising the largest union in Philadelphia, report ed' to the strike leaders today that a majority of their men had obeyed the general strike order. It is reported that all union clothing cutteru have gono out. The union men employed in the various departments, such as water, electric lighting and pumping plants, have been ordered by the striko leaders to remain on duty. This insures a water supply and thorough lighting of the city at night for the present. Uartenders Out. The union bartenders walked out of every barroom in the city at midnight, but their strike so far has been ineffectual. Amateur drink-mixers flocked to the aid of the saloonkeepers and the proprietors themselves put on tho long white aprons of tho strikers. "It's pretty hard for the Bartend ers' union to hurt us," declared ono snloonman. "You see, it's not hard to got volunteers in this business," Unions Wire Support. Union leaders are receiving mes sages of encouragement from all parts of the country. Tho tenor of theso messages Is that tho cause of union labor faces a crisis not only In Philadelphia, but throughout the' United States.
