THE REXO FIGHT EXTRA.
Fifteen minutes after Johnson had
knocked out Jeffries the Mall Tribune
extra, containing a complete leased
wire account of the fight, -was on the
streets. Although the Mall Tribune
Is exceedingly modest about Itself and
does most of Itc bragging on Medford
and the Rogue River valley. It Issued
tho best fight extra put out In Oregon
outoido of Portland, and even con
tained more and later ringside matter
than the bulky Portland extras.
Crowds had watched the Mall Tri
bune bulletins all afternoon and when
tho fight waa over a large throng be
sieged tho newspaper offico waiting
for tho paper. A thousand extra
copies were sold at Medford, Jack
sonville and Woodvillo, and only the
-.size of tho regular subscription list
and the limited capacity of the press
prevented the sale of twice as many
copies.
Hertford's demands upon a news
Taper have passed the village stage.
' City service is expected and the Mall
Tribune does its best to fill tho bill.
It is enabled to do It because the field
is not divided and It receives .be unlt-
.ed support of tho business Interests.
'Tho Mail Tribune is printing the
"best nowspaper for a city of the size
of Medford to bo found anywhere.
While aggressive, it tries to be Im
partial, and non-factional, and stand
for progress. It will oxpand with tho
fiold, if opportunity is offered.
For a year and a half Medford
tried tho oxporJment of two newspa
pers. Thoy were failures. Neither
could make any money or were much
credit to tho city. Then tho two did
tho only sensible thing they consol
idated, Slnco then Medford has had a
newspaper that is one of Its greatest
:advortlsomonts.
TWO views of tho girl (ho girl just omcrging into wom
anhood, are reflected in the writings of two authors,
Oliver AVeiidaU Holmes, tho poet of the last generation,
and II. Cr. Wells, the novelist of today. Says Mr. Helmes:
"Here is that terrible fact to begin with a beautiful
young girl, with the blood and nerve fiber that belong to
Nature's women, turned loose among live men L
wish the girl would go. I don't like to look at her so much,
and yet 1 cannot help it. Always that same expression
of something that I ought to know something that she
was made to tell me and I to hear lying there ready to
fall off from her lips, ready to leap out of her eyes and
make a saint of me, or a devil or a lunatic, or perhaps a
prophet to tell the truth and be hated of men, or a poet
whose words shall flash upon the dry stubblef ield of worn
out thoughts and burn over an age of lies in an hour of
passion."
Here is the romantic view of the girl the girl of youth
and dreams and sentiment. But the girl of todav doesn't
regard herself in any such light. Her thoughts are far
more practical. Mr. Wells comes nearer analyzing her
thoughts when he makes his heroine bluntly say:
"The point is, we're not toys, toys isn't the werd: we're
litter. We're handfuls. We're regarded as inflammable
litter that mustn't be left about. We are the species and
maternity is our game; that's all right, but nobody wants
that admitted for fear we should all each fire and set about
fulfilling the purpose of our being, without waiting for
further explanations. The practical trouble is our ages.
They used to marry us off at seventeen, rush us into things
before we had time to protest. They don't now. Heaven
knows why! They don't marry most of us off now until
high uj) u the twenties. And the age gets higher. We
have to hang about in the interval. There is a great gulf
open and nobody's got any plans what to do with us. So
the world is choked with waste and waiting daughters.
Hanging about ! And they start thinking and asking ques
tions, and begin to be neither one thing nor the other."
This is the predicament of many of the girls of today.
They learn to think before they marry, and when they
think, they grow discriminating and don't care so much
about marrying. They find some practical work to occu
py their minds and work out their destiny and cease be
ing either "toys or litter."
And who shall say the world is not better thereby?

Chapter 101 of the general laws of Oregon, passed by
the legislature of 1909, amended section 2762 of Bellin
ger and Cotton's Annotated Codes and Statutes of Ore
gon to read as follews:
"Section 2762. It shall be the duty of the county court
in the several counties of the state at the regular July term
preceding the general election to set forth and establish
election precincts within the county. Said court may set
off and establish within such county as many election pre
cincts as may be deemed necessary or convenient, and they
shall be designated by numbers or names; provided, that
no election precinct shall contain more than three hun
dred electors or as nearly as may be ascertained by the
court, and shall particularly bound the same."
The attention of the county court is called to the fact
that June is not Julv and as the action of the court in es- ImeiiiH."
tablishing the precincts must be done in July, the fact
that it was done in June might furnish a basis for inval
idating the entire election. It is therefore respectfully
suggested that the court avoid possible complications by
doing it over again this term.
The court's attention is also called to the fact that the
printed precinct boundaries of Northeast Medford pre
cinct are wrong, the description reading: "Thence south
to East Alain street in the city of Medford; thence exist
along the center line of East Alain street to Bear creek,"
when it should read "west along the center line of East
Main."
It is respectfully suggested to the county court that
matters would be much simplified for registration of vot
ers if precinct boundaries were made to conform with
ward boundaries in the citv of Medford.
