THE ANNUAL MIRACLE.
"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.

It Is a recognised fact that politi

allied to bring on a tight to a finish.
Every effort made by those desirous
of peace at almost any cost has been
balked by unyielding opposition on

If the city council of Medford does not provide hitch
ing racks for the use df farmers, the Merchants ''association
should. 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.

Owners of property in Medford are forcing rents to
an exorbitant fignro. 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.

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.
