Official Paper of the City of Medford.
GEORGE PDTNAM, Editor and Manner.
JEaterod iui aecondlaH matter November 1. It0, at th ppitofftc at Medford,
Oregon, under m aci or uaron , is v.
Cst year by mailt
...... Sl.00 One month by mall or carrier.....? .SO
JUST IN THE BEGINNING.
Three years ago, it was a common sight in Medford to
see old timers on the corner shaking thoir heads wisely
and predicting that prices for orchard property had reach
ed top notch and that the "bottom would soon drop out,"
and Roguo River valley land would depreciate to its for
mcr value as farming land.
Since then prices have doubled and trebled and are
still advancing. Most of the prophets of disaster have sold
out. Some have moved away, some have reinvested, pay
ing more for land than they sold for, and become boosters
Only a corporal's guard of the croakers remain.
Through tho advertising done by Medford, and the
exploitation of the country and its merits, the Rogue River
valley today is on the verge of its greatest period of de
velopment, and Medford ."just started on her career as a
city. Both city and country will have a marvelous growth
during the next few years, Medford because she has enter
prise and progress and the right class of citizenship, the
country because of its natural resources and advantages.
Cities are made by men, not by nature. The country
is developed by the city. Horticulture is but one of many
resources possible to bring to its highest development m
the Rogue River valley. Scenic wonders, copper and gold
mining, and timber manufacture are each destined-at no
late day to attract as much attention and bring in as many
people as horticulture is doing today.
Medford has the citizenship that does things, and will
see that these resources are all developed and exploited
berore many years, tor city and country are still in the
infancy of their development.

.ANOTHER SHIP WRECKED;
CREW OF 58 IS SAFE
ST. JOHNS, N. F., March 25.
' The sealing steamer Viking is ashore
otl the French island of St. Pierre,
according to reports here today.
The vessel carries a crew of 58
men, all of whom are reported to be
Bite. It is feared that the ship will
be. a total loss. Efforts are being
Raade to salvage her cargo of 24,000,
sealskins, which are valued at np-
iproximately $05,000.
Tho big store of II. C. Kt - 'uer &
Co. was a beautiful sight uot night
with the throngs of contented people
who strolled about the aisles, visited
with friends or admired the beauti
ful display. Great preparation had
been made and the store was a per
fect garden of spring goods.
The displays were beautiful to the
extreme every corner of this big
store was trimmed with tho finest
goods b rought o ut by the best fuc
tones of this and foreign lands.
Tho entrancing music lent a charm
to the scene that no artist could
paint.
It is safe to predict that those who
attended the opening last night went
home feeling that Medford had a
real live city store and they will
long remember the showing made by
the II. C. Kentner company.

Clouds of smoke pouring from the;
craters obscure tho sun and the half'
darkness increased the superstitious
fear of tho peasants.
The escape of the creater number
of the inhabitants is attributed to tho
fact that small hills stopped tho flow
of lava from flooding tho towns for
somo time, giving tho people a chance
to escape.
The authorities are making every
effort to ascertain whether lives have
been lost, and it is feared that the
list of missing may grow into n list
