CHECKING THE VALLEY'S DE-VELOPStENT.
Ashland's decision on tho interur
bnn trollov frnuchiso was anxiously
awaited bv tho dcodIo of tho Rocuo
River vallov from Grants Pass to
Talent. Uoon it denended to a lanre
extent tho Drocress and dovolooment
of the vallov. But tho mosshack um
ioritv refused to co-ODcrntc. It de
liboratclv smirncd tho desires and
wishes of tho entire vallov.
Ashland's attitude reminds ono o
the Democratic pnrtv's. nlwavs
"ntrin" thincs. It is ono of negation.
Ashland does not initiate and create,
but oodoscs and blocks. Ashland
does not develoo. but urevents dc
velomnent bv others, nnd so nntac
onizes the rest of the vallov.
Medford has striven to brine about
an era of rood fcclinr between all
the cities of tho vallov. Medford has
no foelimr of rivalry for Ashland or
nnv of the other towns. We are too
busv workinc out our own destinv.
Medford's Commercial club has vis
ited Ashland's club and sent its rep
resentatives to the legislature to help
the Normal school. It Dnssed reso
lutions favorincr the Ashlnud Normal
initiative biU nnd its members sismed
it irenerallv. It has endeavored to
co-ouerate in all wavs with Ashland.
So have the other towns. Conse-
ouentlv all the towns, expected co
operation from Ashlnud in a matter
that means so much to the vnllev nnd
its future nnd are kecnlv disappoint
ed to find that mos.bnekim H11
rules.
Ashland's attitude has hurt Ash
land far more than nnv one else. It
is a stnndine advertisement of the
spirit with which capital is welcomed
and capital, always timid, will
ficht shv of Ashland hereafter. More
than that, it is a mortification to the
orocrressivo element, for n Inrue pro
portion of Ashland particularly the
yonne men are cnterprisinir nnd
progressive, nnd in time raav win

To the Editer: A recent Issue of
the Medford Mali Tribune contnlnod
this Interesting news item:
"At the couucll meeting Tuesday
night a resolution was passed order
ing nn election for the purposo of
authorizing the issu.inco of $20,000
in bonds for the construction of a
series of storm sowers to carry off
surplus waters from the western part
of tho city."
It this bond issue is authorized
by tho votors tho general indebted
ness of tho city will bo Increased
$20,000, to pay which every particle
of property in tho corporate limits
will bo taxed. Even tho proporty on
Knob Hill will have to pay a pro
portional share of the "storm sowers
to carry off surplus waters from the
western part of tho city."
The enternrlslnc citizens of "the
I western part of the city" show good
business ncument in thus saddling
off their burdens on other parts of
the city. Since West Medford has
been so neglected tho wonder Is an
attempt is not made to compel the
remainder of the city to pay for Its

It nn opportunity for the poor kids
of Ashland to make an ample gath
ering from tho backs of tho pikers
.on Main street?
Horos are some of tho most rea
Bonnblo arguments offered by tho op
position to tho Allen franchise:
Ono prominent real estate firm
opposed the very valuable and much I
noedod improvement by the state
ment that "an Ashland franchlso
was too valuablo to be given away,"
Two othor real estato firms
-waged ohstlnnto opposition that "un
iPurchnBable prices would lose them
their proporty transfer fees."
WaB it a necessary or a greedy
grnpplo for existence?
Ono individual who has a building
under piocess of construction gave
as a paramount cause for opposition
that "proporty prices would boom
higher nnd that Increased taxation
would bo to pay."
Allen's proposed $5,000,000 valley
lino and city system construction,
with $20,000,000 maintenance ex
penditures, woro froquontly belittled
by tho Idiotically parroted "HE
WANTS EVERYTHING AND
