'ROSPKHITy is said to be returning to the wist since
x tlio election. At any rate, the deinoeratic landslide1
seems to have restored confidence to financial centers
strange as it may seem. Already the cost of living is said
to be declining, as meat pi-ices are lowering everywhere .
except in the northwest.
As for Medford and the Rogue river valley, prosperity ,
has her permanent abode here. Never was the outlook
brighter than in these November days. Street improve-;
melds arc being feverishly rushed while the clear days
continue and new buildings are going up on every hand. j
It is a changed city that greets the old timer returning
as he alights at the magnificent new depot, a city of paved
streets and substantial business blocks, a city of bustle
and progaess and enterprise, a metropolis in the making
wnn me cruuciiesH 01 me iijiiiiukiicu uii nuiging.
Only a few figures are at hand to measure growth.
Street paving has progressed during the past nine months
at the rate of a mile a month. .Many miles of water, sewer
and gas mains have been laid and a half million dollar
gravity water system has been completed, and dozens of
brick, stone and concrete business blocks erected, some of
them four stories in height.
Hank deposits reflect the healthy financial condition
of the city. Kivc yeai-s ago they were $()09,I98. Today
they arc $2,:i7(,f)82.' In the past ten months they have in
creased $'1111,011, or 22 per cent. In two years they have
doubled.
Postoffiec receipts also indicate the growth of the coiu
nmnitv. Five vears ago thev were, approximately $0000
a year. This year they will exceed $2(5.000. Year by year
and month by month," they. have" increased from thirty to
fifty per cent during the entire period.
And the growth of the city but reflects the growth of
the surrounding country. With G5,000 acres of the finest
fruit land in the world in orchards, preparations are un-1
der way for the planting of 20,000 acres more the coining
season. A year ago Rogue river apples won sweepstakes
at the national apple show at Spokane, and this month
Rogue river apples won first prize at the international
Canadian apple show at Vancouver.
November also witnesses the completion of the Pacific,
& Eastern, the Hill railroad, to Butte Falls, the heart of,
the timber belt, which opens the largest sugar pine belt in ,
Ainerica to lumber manufacture. Surveys have been com-1
plcted for the extension of the line over the Cascades to a ,'
connection with the Oregon Trunk, giving Medford two
transcontinental routes east. .

WHEN Reno, Nevada, sought lower freight rates, the
Southern Pacificattemptcdto place in evidence books
of shippers, showing the business done to prove that jb
hers were able to do business on a margin of profit under
existing rates.
The same line of railroad logic was disclosed at the
hearing of the Medford case before the interstate com
merce commission Monday, when Attorney V. D. Fenton
'tftempted to secure from local jobbers admissions that
thev were doing business in other towns at a profit, and
.jonjj-Jit to ascertain their percentage of profit, as well as
the extent of their business, the capital invested and other
matters ol a private nature.
j , These efforts illustrate the basis of rate making on
tlio "Pacific coast "all the traffic will bear." If the rail
road figures a shipper is making agood profit, it figures
on raising the rates. If rates are so extortionate that an
hidustry cannot exist, a reduction will be considered. Hut
the basis of rate making is to tax all that the industry can
stand and still exist.
When the railroad thought.the lumbermen in western
Oregon were making too much money, rates were raised.
When it was figured the fruit growers of California were
growing prosperous, an attempt was made to raise rates.
nd so il has ever been. Actual cost of handling and haul
ing have never been the basis of rate making on the west
ern roads, it has ever been "all the traffic will bear," and
that is why Medford is going to win all along the line in its
battle against unjust railroad discrimination.

MAIL ORDER MELONS.
U-GO
A $10,000,000 " melon" was decided on at Chicago Satur--
day by dircctoi-s of Scars-lioebuck & Co., the stock
f which is listed mi the New York and Chicago exchanges.
l lie directors voted to recommend a stock dividend ot
V -'A percent on the common stock ($: 10,000,000) to hold
el's of record April 1, 1911.
Scars-Roebuck and other mail order houses send a
large number of catalogues into this section annually, and
secure some patronage to which thev are in no wa en
titled.
Scars-Roebuck pay no taxes here, rent no buildings
here, have no payroll here, speiubuo money here and pla
no part in the lify of the community. There is no reason
wiiy anyone in tins section should patronixe such firms, m
order that Wall street may cut "melons."
Only by patronizing home institutions can home in-1
stitutious be built up. Only by keeping the money at
home can the home city prosper. There is nothing iii the

When you are hard up and need credit, your home
