NO CITY of its size in tho country presents as prosper
ous appearance as Medford does today.
Crowds lino the sidewalks, automobiles fill tho streets,
new buildings, business houses and residences arc going up
on every hand.
Streets are torn up for water, sower and gas mains,
gangs of men are busy laying ten miles of street paving, old
stores are being improved with modern fronts, every brand
of business is enlarging and expanding.
Yet, rapid as is the growth and progress of the city,
it hardly keeps pace with that of the Rogue River valloy.
The valley alone will support a far larger city than Med
ford, in the 0011130 of a few years, when the thousand
cars of fruit shipped become many thousands.
But Medford, to realize her destiny, must look to all
southern Oregon and northern California. She must be
come the supply point, the jobbing, manufacturing and
distributing center of this inland empire, as well as tho
premier fruit center of the northwest.
Hitherto Medford's efforts have been confined to the
development of her immediate territory. The time is at
hand when she must play a leading role in the develop
ment of the entire tributary region from the coast to cen
tral Oregon, from the Umpquas beyond the Shastas.
Medford must do this to become, what nature has made
possible and man must make certainty, the inland metropo
lis and large city of the future between Sacramento and
Portland.
Medford, alone, among southern Oregon cities, has made
the right kind of a beginning. She has started aright, and
must continue along right lines, widening and branching
out, and expanding as necesshVy demands. There must be
no factional disturbances, no discord, but a united people
all working for a common object the building of a real
city.
IS IT THE MASTER'S VOICE?
THE Portland Oregoniau has again commanded the
assembly to declare in favor of abolishing State
ment One, and stick the "knife to the hilt" in all repub
licans who will not obe' its commands.
The Oregoniau is opposed to the direct primary law, to
the initiative and referendum, to the recall. Its command
to the assembly on Statement One is an entering wedge
for the destruction of all direct legislation and a return
to machine politics.
It will be interesting to watch the assembly and see
whether or not it obeys the Oregoniau 's mandate wheth
er the Oregoniau is really the assembl'. If it is, assembly
candidate's can prepare for hard times.
There would have been no objection to the assembly
throughout the state, had it not been for the Oregonian 's
war upon direct legislation. Its constant commands and
assertions have caused the assembly to be viewed with
suspicion, and created the antagonism manifested toward
it by republicans.
The Oregonian wants a return to the days of deadlock
legislation, of corruption and bribery, and of $25,000
"jackpots. But the people of Oregon have no such de
sires. The assembly must choose between the Oregonian and
Oregonians.

Teddy is still cutting trees for ex
ercise and presenting tho chips as
souvenirs. All of which shows a
disgusting mock heroism with a hero
very anxious to pose.
It speaks well for the future of
tho country when hard-headed Spo
kane capitalists have faith enough in
the so-called "desert" to spend two
millions in reclamation work.
A vein rich in gold has been dis
covered in digging a well on the
"desert." With gold underneath and
water on top, who says tho "desert"
is not coming into its own?
Medford is getting a good pave
ment none better in tho country.
Talk that contractors should cover
tho concrete foundation to protect it
is rot. Whoever tulks it has never
before seen pavement laid.
THE last issue of the Central Point Herald contains an
amusing account of a spasm of economy indulged in
by the city administration of that thriving town. Jji order
to cut down the city's expenses, competitive bids were call
ed for $7.50 worth of job printing, and $1.50 thereby saved
the taxpayers by patronizing a cut rate shop.
The next order of printing was given the cut rate shop
without calling for bids. Then $848 worth of fire appara
tus was purchased without asking for competitive bids.
Then an iron firehouse was ordered built without asking
for bids. Then $40 worth of hardware was also ordered
without bids, and so on.
The economy grandstand play of competitive bids was
only necessary in the case of a little printing, which had
been furnished at regular county rates by the newspaper,
which is responsible, more than all other sources combined,
for the recent growth and development of Central Point
and its present era of iwogress. Yet communities, which
are heavily indebted to the local paper which boosts and
advertises the town all the time, often jump at the chance
to play ingrate, instead of displaying appreciation.
' The country editor works harder and gets less than any
business man in the community. The community owes him
more and frequently does less for him than anyone in it,
and all too frequently he has his labor for his pains.
What difference does it make
whether T. R. endorses Poindoxter or
not! Why should what he says cut
any ice in Washington? What bus
iness of his is it, who runs for sena
tor? Tho Now York World says tho
frreat issuo boforo tho American peo
ple in personal govornmont against
representative government. In Or
gou tho personal government is
represented by tho Oregonian, which
assumes to dictate to tho assembly.
Mayor Brand Whitlock of Toledo
styleB tho agitation against moving
fight pictures as a "spasmodic ao
eession of righteousness over some
thing of littlo or no consoquonco in
contrast to a gonornlly supine ntU
tudo toward industrial abuses in
real need of correction." Which is
about the size of it.
AMPLE WATER FOR FIRES.
PUBLICATIONS dependent upon the good will and wel
fare of the community for their existence, no matter
how excuseless that existence may be, have their nerve in
publishing bareface and malicious lies, calculated to in
jure and damage the community they live off. Under
such head may be classed the canard that Medford would
be helpless in case of fire, due to water shortage, when in
vestigation would have disclosed 2,000,000 gallons in the
heights reservoir for jusfrsuch emergency purposes, giving
a 100-pound pressure.
As a matter of fact, at no time in the city's history has
as much water been supplied as is being supplied at pres
ent, and never before was thoro such ample fire protection
as at present.
When the city completes its pipeline there will bo ample
for irrigation at all hours, but the waste will be something
terrific unless the oxamplo of other cities is followed, and
irrigation hours jH'Ovided.
