three
mile south of Bedford and some 250 miles from the Fruit
dale trad, is used.
Then to clinch the productive qualities of this orchard
land is published "Last year's records" of fruit growers,
"whose average net profit was $1200 per acre for the
season of 1909. And this list ol growers comprises YV. II.
Norcross, Tronsoil & Guthrie, Mountain View orchard.
John O. (lore, Rarrell orchard, W. 0. Estep, Snowy .Rutte
orchard, S. L. Rennett and A. D. Helms, every one of them
located in the Rogue river valley, but nowhere is the Rogue
river vallev mentioned.
Only unscrupulous, land promoters would resort to
the surreptitious use of copyrighted photos and data com
piled by the Med ford commercial club to deceive eastern
investors into the belief that they are securing the same
kind of orchard property, and that the cheap farming land
they offer will produce such profits.
Why do not these AVillamette valley promoters give
Willamette valley apple records, if the land is such ideal
orchard property? Orchards have been bearing for fifty
veal's there, and it should not be necessary to appropriate
the records and photos ol other sections without giving
due credit.
There is all the difference pi the world between
the "1'Vuitdale" tract and those bearing orchards in
proven districts, whose records are appropriated dif
ference in soil, in climate, in elevation, in products, and
productiveness, and the intending purchaser should under
stand it. Not but that "Eruitdale" may prove, a profitable
investment, but that the methods of deception practiced
in unloading them upon a gullible public, this parading in
borrowed plumage savors too much of the get-rich-quick
methods of wild-cat fakirs.

THE use of a state boundary line as a basis upon which
to base railroad freight rates is unique in the history
of railroading. Yet this is the case with the Southern Pa
cific, and is one of the causes of freight discrimination
atrninst-Modford.
.1 ust why this eusfxnn obtains, ho one seems to know
At least at the hearing before the interstate commerce
commission at Medford none of the Southern Pacific offi
cials could give a satisfactorv answer. .
Traffic officials testified that the freight rates north
of the boundary line, as set forth in published tariffs, are
14 cents for three miles, and south of the line, are 5 cent
for the same distance, jhat the same grade, and the same
physical conditions govern on each side of th$ line.
On another quoted rate, the cost of transporting first
class freight for 18 miles in--Oalifounia is, 12 cents, as
against 22 cents for the same distance in Oregon. And
this is about the proportion that governs, though no watei
.ttompctition can be pleaded in extenuation.
r 'What is there so mHgical and mystical about this un
seen noundary line, tliat it costs the people ot Oregon s
lluarjyf AYho drew this magic circle that enables tin
Southern Pacific to make a net profit in Oregon of $1,1.19,
119 a year, nearly f)0 per cent of its gross earnings.
At any rate, it is up to Medford to dissolve the charn
-r-and Medford is going to do it.

IN re-electing Judge W. M. Colvig as president, the Med
ford commercial club made n wise move. No man in
Oregon is so well qualified for the position; none has de
voted his time and energy so enthusiastically and unself
ishly to. the upbuilding of the community. The conmiercia1
club is the bitrsrest factor in Med ford's upbuilding and
Judge Vo ig the biggest factor in the commercial club.
