nplTERE seems a good prospect of settling the water
controversy.
A majority of! business men and prominent citizens
of Medford have signed a petition backing up tho council
in their efforts to end the controversy on the best terms
attainable.
But the people of Medford will insist upon securing
the additional water called for.
The only reason that Medford citizens will consent
to a settlement is the supposition that tho city will secure
double the amount of water thereby, and that it is worth
the additional money paid.
If Medford grows, as she must and as she will, she
will need all the water she has contracted for, within a
few years. If the Wasson Canyon water is purchased,
citizens will insist that Medford secure the full GOO inches
contracted for and that use of the water, to retiu the water
rights, be provided for meanwhile in the contract.

npHE Mail Tribune will not hereafter publish uncalled
for personal attacks made for advertising purposes!
upon reputable citizens of Medford by non-residents, nor
will it print the replies and counter personalities of those
attacked. It is not the province of this newspaper to add
fuel to the flames.
The Mail Tribune stands for a united Medford. It
is essential that citizens pull together and stand shoulder
to shoulder in promoting the welfare and prosperity of
the community. Personalities only stir up division and
discord where harinony is needed. Factional strife of all
kinds should be barred.
Upon the prosperity of the community depends the
prosperity of every one in it, including the churches, and
neither they, nor any one else can afford to countenance
strife that may prove a stumbling block in the path of
progress.
REMEMBER THE CENSUS.
Publicity is tho only anti-toxin for
political corruption.

way.
T EMEMBER the census.
The Medford enumerators have

Medford doesn't object to paying
for two water supplies, but she
wants them both.
Here's to Bill Hnnlev one of the
biggest men in Oregon and hoping
ho settles the water muddle.
Tho census will show Jackson

twice tho population of Josephine.

additional time by Supervisor Henderson. They have
still some time to complete the census, in which they differ
from the Portland and other city enumerators.
Grants Pass and Ashland are making strenuous efforts
to surpass Medford, claiming that their cities exceed Med
ford in population.
Every person in Medford on April 15 or who has ar
rived since, who contemplates residence here, is entitled
to enumeration.
It is the duty of every lodging house keeper, every
hotel proprietor, every rooming house landlord in the city
to personally turn in his guests who fill these requirements.
Medford must enumerate every citizen and every ar
rival who comes with the intention of making his home
here.
Medford has 10,000 population. She must prove it
to the world. The only way she can prove it is to show
it on the census rolls. Medford has the population. She
must prove it. It is up to every person in Medford to
exercise the Medford spirit and prove it by showing it up.
ADVERTISING IN YOUR HOME PAPER BUILDS
UP YOUR BUSINESS AND YOUR CITY
No state can bo hurt by exposing
grafting; to do otherwise would bo
to connive ut it. Ex-Governor Folk
of Missouri.
Few will bo inclined to dispute this
except tho grafters themselves and
mexr menus.
That a merchant's advertising in his home paper not only gets
results for himself, but for the town as well, is clearly shown in
the following letter recently received by tho Medford Ilardware
company, which has been advertising a fishing contest:
"Dallas, Tex., April 0. Medford Ilardwaro Co., Medford, Or.
Noticing your ad in Medford Mail Tribune of Sunday last, I would
ask you to kindly let me know how tho fishing is and what kind
in July and August, in or near your city, as I hopo to go to Ore
gon for my vacation and possibly stay quite a while.
"Thanking you in advance, I am, yours truly,

Tho decision of Senators Aldrich
and Halo to retire from tho senate
is having a very wholesome influence
within that body. For instance, it
has suggested to Senator Gallingor
,of Now Hampshire tho expediency of
quitting public life.

Franco is tho oradlo of modern civ

Why not extend tho visit to France
