tarainfc it.
a EPTEMBER first finds Medford maintaining its' load
as the banner small oily of the northwest. Postal
receipts show u gain over a year ago of sixty-eight per cent.
Bank clearances and deposits arc nearly fifty por cent
greater. More and costlier buildings are under way than
ever in the city's history. Railroad business has increased
in proportion. The heaviest pear crop in tho valley's his-
L toiy is being shipped, realizing the highest prices of any
fruit m the eastern markets. Double the quantity of ap
ples produced a year ago will soon bo on their way east.
September first sees grading completed on the Pacific
& Eastern to Butte Falls and the grade into Medford near
ly completed. Construction gangs are busy laying the
rails, while other contractors are rushing the extension of
the Oregon Trunk down the Deschutes, across the Klam
ath country and the Cascades to a junction with it, thus
giving Medford two transcontinental railroads.
September first, this year for the first time, finds Med
ford with the best municipal water supply of any city in
the west, with a gravity system bringing Avatcr twenty
five miles from its source in the snow-capped sentinels of
tho Cascades, with pure water ample for a city of twenty-
five thousand people. It finds Medford with a completed
distributing system exceeding twenty-one miles of cast
iron mains and with work begun on nine miles of main
extensions.
September' first finds Medford with over ten miles of
bitulithic and asphalt paved streets. New contracts total
ing over 280,000 square yards of pavement, with curbing
and guttering, amounting to over a million dollars, the
largest contract ever made on the coast, is but forty per
cent completed. "When completed, Medford will be the
best paved city of its size anywhere.
September first witnesses work begun on a large storm
sewer a mile in length to carry off the flood waters from
the West Side, and the beginning of work on contracts
let for nine miles of sewer extensions, making Medford the
best sewered city on the .coast.
September first sees phenomenal building activity in
the business district. It sees the finishing touches being
put on the palatial new depot of the Southern Pacific,
costing $50,000, the largest in Oregon outside of Portland.
It sees the grounds around it being graded preparatory to
parking. It witnesses the near completion of the $50,000
natatorium and its galaxy of amusements, the finest in
stitution of its kind north of San Erancisco.
September will witness the completion of the four
story brick block being erected by the Garnett-Corey
Hardware company, of the granite block erected by the
Episcopal church, of the three-story concrete building
erected by the Ray brothel's, of the three-story wholesale
store erected by the Medford Grocery company and of the
new pressed brick Davis block.
September first sees construction well under way on
the Howard brothers' four-story reinforced concrete block,
occupying a quarter of a block, on the six-story Medford
hotel, on the four-story Page hotel, giving Medford two
first-class hotels and the best hotel accommodations of
any Oregon city, and the beginning of construction of the
Masonic temple, of the Root building, of the Mail-Tribune
building, of the "Westerlund block and several other struc
tures, as well as innumerable residences.
Congress has appropriated $110,000 to erect a federal
building in Medford, and September will see the site se
lected and preparations under way for its construction.
And now come the Sisters of Providence and- offer to
erect a $100,000 hospital at Medford, providing a bonus
of $10,000, to purchase the site, he raised. Half of it has
been secured, and every patriotic citizen should see to it
that he gives what he can afford, for by just such actions
has Medford 's progress been maintained.
Medford is growing by leaps ind bounds. Yet rapid
as the improvements are, they cannot keep pace with the
demands. There is not now and has not been in five years
a vacant building or a house to let. And Medford 's future
is brighter this first day of September than ever.
pose to support Cannon for spqakor't"
The opponents of Air. Ilawley are in tho same "pitiful
need" for something to say that the oppononts to Can
nonism have been all over the country where this question
has been submitted to the people, and so far tho returns
indicate that it is a great year for (lie people of "pitiful
needs." .
The same pitiful' need whipped an administration into
Jonahiug its staunchest apostle, caused an Oregon con
gressman to desert his captain under firo and moved the
Oregonian, in all its wealth of verbosity, to the above
stick fu)l of clever, clean-cut humor.
Yes, we are pitifully in need of somothing to say in
opposition to Cannonism and its disciples, but what wo
offer is in all seriousness, and we submit that our dearth of
ideas on; the subject is better than the tongue-tied atti
tude of Mr. Ilawley and his clever and Verbose cham
pion. No, our effort was not a clumsy attempt at a joke; wo
prefer to tread the humble but pitiful paths of serious
ness. With the Oregonian in the field, there is no chance
of distinction in the field of humor; its attitude on all pub
lic questions is so subtlely, cleverly, keenly humorous that
we of the pitiful needs must stick to the serious.

Q AYS the Oregenian: "There is a paper in southern Ore-
gon which has undertaken a campaign against Rep
resentative Ilawley on the ground mainly that he has been
a supporter of Speaker Cannon and that he now deserts
him. To most persons the basis of such criticisms is noth
ing short of idiotic, and it is difficult to believe that they
are seriously made. Yet so it would seem if the following
from Hawley 's most ardent assailant is not to be interpret
ed as a clumsy attempt at a jeke:
the recent session of congress, he is all the more deserving
of it now. If Cannonism was right then, it is right now.
Who, worthy of the name of man, deserts a champion

But wild are the nights that come

When tho vnlo of delusion is
crossed,
And their tresses are blown and their
. laughter
Is bleak with tho wail of the lost.
Yet swifter nnd wilder nro woven
Thu bacchanal dances of doom.
Till the clow of the lah-rinth is
cloven
And their torches go out in tho
gloom.
Ah, then there is madness, tho terror
Of joys' that nro crushed, nnd re
gret, And tho feverish phantoms of error
rhat over tho conscience beset.
The dead are the guests of the Hv
The beautiful hopes that wero

With never u 'smile of forgiving-,
Come thronging when pleading in

And yet, I have conquered tho

The spectres Plutpninn have

And the horror enshrined in tho

Has left mo in freedom alone!
