"THE MIKADO" TO BE tSHOWN HERE Tho National-Pollard Opera com pany comes to Medford for one per formunce Saturday, September 10, when they will present Gilbert & Sul livan's famous comic opera, "Tho Mikado," with a cast of principals and a chorus thut would attract at ten turn hi any city in tho world. Those who Tcmcmbcr the Pollards in years gone by, when as children they delighted audiences with their clever rendering of light opera, will find an added pleasure in seeing some of the adults the "growu-ups"--the for saer stars of the big juvenile produc tion, in the best of all comic operas, which will be given a sumptuous re vival at tho Medford theater, and al ready scats are being called for. "The Mikado" is now enjoying a Now York run and its revival was one of tho events of the season. It is admitted bv the musical world to e a pattern on which all comio op era can bo modeled. Cortain it is, "Tho Mikado" has nevor been ex tolled in charm, for although 20 years hare gone by since its incep tion, it is now attracting more at tention than any other musical of fering before the public, Tho reviv al at tho New York Casino theater k8 already had u run of several Months. 'Tho conjunction of tho Nulional Opera company with tho Pollard or ganization makes this tho strongest ambulation that has aver loured tho euiitry. Tho salo of scats begins at Buskins', Wednesday morning at 10 'clock! LAFOLLETTE'S TRIUMPH IN WISCONSIN. ay ITTLE BOB," as his enthusiastic constituents do-JL- light in calling the diminutive yet dynamic sen ator from Wisconsin, has just swept the primaries of that state with an insurgent victory, winning his own rc nomination to the United States senate and the nomina tion of an insurgent candidate for governor. La toilette's success at the primaries is most au spicious for the reform or insurgent move within the re publican party. La toilette is unquestionably the real leader and father of the revolution. Ever since, his ad vent into the politics of the state he has been insurgent to the policies of his party. The career of Senator La Follotte of fers a most splen did object lesson to the rising generation. Upon his ad vent into the political vortex of Wisconsin some twenty odd years ago, he found his' party in the hands of tho railroad and lumber interests, intrenched and organized by the marvelous brains and wealth of such men as Saw yer, Stevenson and Spooner. To overthrow these powers of darkness and to return the government of his state to the people was the gigantic task he set himself and the intervening years of his life have been dedicated to that aim. With the courage of a David, the perseverance of a Calvin and the aggressiveness of an Alexander he has battled on until he has syvept the last vestige of the control of the special interests out of his state and his splendid example and 'leadership have brought about a" national revolution in his party, a widespread cleaning of the Augean stables of the party that is bringing results almost daily in the primary elections. No other man in the national legislature in a genera tion has introduced or become responsible for the enact ment of so much beneficial legislations La Follcttc. To his splendid constructive statesmanship the nation and the people are lastingly obligated. His is a name to conjure with and if the renovated, rejuvenated Republican party suffers no relapse in their progressive movement he should be their standard bearer in 1912. THE DEMOCRATIC PAMPHLET. ONE of the absurdities of the present political cam paign in Oregon is the official pamphlet issued by the state printer containing "cuts and statements" of Democratic candidates, which is mailed to all registered Democratic voters. The pamphlet contains a page write up of Jefferson Myers and a cut of that illustrious guber natorial candidate and that is all. No other candidates have taken advantage of the gratuitous distribution of campaign literature at the people's expense provided by this unnecessary and- extravagant law, designed to benefit office seekers and to promote the state printer's graft. It cost the state approximately $1000 to print and $400 to mail Mr. Myers' advocacy of his own candidacy, and for the privilege, Mr. Myers paid $100. The net loss to the people of Mr. Myers' ambitions, providing they end, as they probably will,' at the primaries, is $1300. In the printed argument of Mr. Myers as to why he should become governor, occurs this statement: "In 1903 he became president of the Lewis and Clarke Exposition Commission and devoted over three veal's of his time without pay or salary, in the work of upbuilding Oregon and developing our state resources. No especial credit can attach for the work of a public official for which he has been well paid, but much credit should be given a citizen for valuable and successful effort without pay." Page 430 of session laws of 1907 contains the following appropriatien: "Fpr the paTnent of the claim of Jeffer son Myers, president of the Oregon State Commission of the Lewis and Clarke Centennial Exposition, for expenses incurred while serving in said official capacity, $2500." Such is Mr. Myers' "valuable and successful effort without pay." RAISING FUND FOR CHURCH Rev. S. C. Adams, Assisted by Rev. W. F. Shields, Makinq Good Head way Toward Obtaining Suitable Amount for Butte Falls Church. Rev. Silden C. Adams,, pustor evnngelist of the Presbytery of Southern Oregon, und Rev. W. F. Shields, pastor of tho Medford Pres byterian church, have been soliciting fiifids for the building of a church at the new and growing town of Butte Falls. Petition for a church was filed with tho Presbytery of Southern Or egon on March 18 of this year. The petition was approved on April 10. Tho organization was completed by Rev. W. F. Shields, Rev, Robert Mc Lean, Rev. William Gibony, D. D,, and Elder C. W. Potter of Medford, July 31, The charter for the church was granted by the governor o'f tho stuto of Oregon August 29. About $050 has been subscribed at the present date, und in tho neur future work will bo commenced on a neat and commodious edifice of worship. Together with tho amount given ljy the people of Butte Fulls and of Medford and the amount by tho board of church erection, about $1500 will bo invested in church proporty within tho noxt few months.

' who can beat this Nearly ovoryono in the valley has something extraor dinary in the way of apples, pears, plums, prunes, figs, nuts, A'ogetables, corn, flowers, hops or grain. Nearly ovoryono in the valley is willing to swear by the products of our soil. Now then Nearly, or quite, 500,000 people pass through Mod ford on tho trains during the year and a largo number of them are attracted by the exhibits displayed in tho win dows of the Medford Exhibit Building. To keep tho building in shape and properly stocked with fruit costs us soveral thousand dollars each year, but there aro many little samples of extra fancy items that we never see or even hear of, that ought to bo displayed. Bring them in and we will attach a card giving full credit Tor the exhibit and be pleased to give it space. Wo really think it your duty to do this small part in trying to attract people to the valley. More pooplo moan larger towns, bettor and larger churches and schools, hot ter roads, and better everything. Wo wish to thank those who have been thoughtful of these matters heretofore, and will thank any and all to assist in this work. Jno. D.
