THE entire Pacific const is growing nnd is bouidl to
grow cacli year as the climate, resources and pos
sibilities arc understood. A never-ending stream or peo
ple from the cramped and crowded east, with its cities of
tenements and its alternating seasons of heat and frigid
ity, with its dreary treadmill d factory and office, is head
ed toward tho land of sunshine and opportunity.
Medford eniovs the distinction of never having had
a boom. Its story, since its awakening, has been oue of

The monthly report of Superintendent of Schools Col
lins for the month ending October 7 shows the total number
of scholars in public schools of Medford to bo 1102 as
against S91 a year ago, an increase of 22 per cent. To this
must be added those in private schools, which show a sim
ilar increase.
In September, 1910, the Medford postoffice did the
largest month's business in its history. Receipts totaled
$2635.69 as against $1352.66 for September a year ago
an increase of 96 per cent, the largest gain of any city in
the northwest. The gain for the quarter ending Septem
ber 30, 1910, as against the same period for 1909, was 61
per cent.
The number of Bell telephones in Medford increased
from 703 on January.!, 1910, to 1065 on October 1, an in
crease of 51 per cent and the heaviest percentage of gain
made by any city in the country. When this gain of 51
per cent is contrasted with the less than 5 per cent made
by such cities as Eugene and Salem, and the less than 10
per cent made by Portland, the growth of Medford is ap
parent. Medford's bank deposits show an increase of approxi
mately 50 per cent over a year ago and the same propor
tionate increase is reflected in all lines of business, except
in realty transactions. The era of speculation has given
away largely to an era of development. Investors are
building and improving rather than gambling on values,
and more construction is under way than in any of the
smaller cities of Oregon.
Medford 's destiny lies with Medford 's citizens. As
long as we pull together for the common good, as long as
we go after things, as long as we display superior energy,
Medford will continue to grow, and grow faster than other
cities. There must be no let-up in the campaign of prog
ress, for this is what is what has made Medford what it is,
and will make it what it will be, the second city in Oregon.

F THERE is one man in the politics of Oregon who
ought to be retired to private life that man is W. C.
Hawley, the assembly nominee for re-election in the
First congressional district. His record in congress is a
record of betrayal of the people and a foul blot on the name
of Oregon.
Although Hawley began his career in the humbler
walks of life and with every law of nature, association, en
vironment and gratitude to spur him to a love of the peo
ple, once in congress and intrenched behind an overwhelm
ing party majority, he became the cold-blooded attorney of
privilege, fergettinc: every interest of the people, votincr
always for special interests, the subservient tool of Can
nonism and of the Morgans and Guggenheims.
It is told of him in his home town that on a hot day
while he was sprinkling his lawn an aged and poorly clad
woman succumbed to heat and exhaustion in front of his
place and that while neighbors rushed to the assistance of
the stricken old lady he sprinkled on like a fiddling Nero.
Whether this be true or not is of little matter in this cam
paign; his record in the last congress, turning a deaf ear
to every outraged appeal of the people, sufficiently illus
trates tne aosoiuteiy cold-blooded character of the man.
And now this betrayer of the people, this disciple of
the pork barrel, is back among his constituents appealing
to them with a lie upon his lips--"No interests to serve but
the public interests."
What effrontery this; what immaculate gall! It smacks
like an old, old kiss, the lying kiss of a Judas.
