CJ?ATKI. J.AKK is one of Oregon's greatest assets.
Nothing i the line of scenic wonders surpasses it.
Serene, mystical and beautiful, the rock-ribbed jewel of
Miliar ?flo,,,B Medltie Cascades' summit is ever wonderful, ever attractive.,!
Tuoitor nd Mn..Cr J always alluring. To it will ilock in Juture years an un
ending stream of siglit-seemg Humanity.
To make accessible this asset, to capitalize this natural
resource, in briof to develop it so that it may be the means
of bringing hither millions of tourists who would other
wise pass us by, is the task iMedford has begun.
All know the history of the Crater lake highway, how
the legislature was brought to realize the duty of the state
to build it. how 100.000 was appropriated for construc
tion, how the supreme court held the appropriation in
valid, how the Med ford Commercial club started to build
the highway by public subscription, how $30,000 was sub
scribed, the survey completed and the contract for the
most difficult section finally let, work on which is now
under way.
The Orator Lake highway and the efforts expended
to construct it is a tribute to the energy and enterprise ol
Mod ford. Surelv no community ever struggled hardei
or labored more courageously to secure an improvement
of benefit to the entire state. But it is neither just 1101
fair for Modford to shoulder a burden that should be
borne by the entire state.
Jf Oregon cannot build the highway by appropriation,
the state can at least furnish the labor. There is a peni
tentiary full of men who must be kept at an expense tc
the state. To keep them occupied in useful labor, without
conflicting with free labor, is one of the problems of the
prison management.
No more healthful or useful occupation for the prison
ers could be found than road building, and no road the
could be employed upon is so worthy of construction ih
the Crater Lake highway.
Let the sta.te prisoners be employed to carry througl
I his great enterprise, to build a world famous boulevard
through a great natural wonderland a task too great foi
any one locality, a labor properly belonging to the state
to the end that,both Oregon and the prisoners themselves
may profit thereby.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS?
NOW that the campaign is over, partisan organs arc
beginning to substitute the truth for the clap-traj
they have been clanging into the ears of their readers.
The Portland Telegram, the vermiform appendix o'
the Oregonian, which for so long slandered Oswald West
while slobbering over the shrine of its hero, Jay Bower
man, admits its hypocrisy and sham as follows:
"Bowerman was first nominated in the assembly, ane
the assombly was about the. rankest manifestation of ma
hine politics Iho city has ever known even in the palmiest
lays of the machine. The operation of the machinery was
o coai'se that it was perfectly apparent to the vision of
j men physically blind. It was the old day come again witl
idded emphasis.
All of which was so self-evident to the most casual ob
server that Boworman was overwhelmingly defeated. Vet
knowing all this, the Telegram itself was just as "coarse'
!n stultifying itself by attempting to foist the machiiu
andidate upon the public.
And that is whv the. Telegram had no influence in tin
ampaign, and why the partisan organ is not taken so
riously.
No paper not truft to itself can be true to the people.

OMMIORCIAL coiitJitions in Medford are changing
A vear ago Saturjlav, was the big day of the wool
unong the stores. Thowdid the most business on that
lay. Today, Monday is thV biggest day.
You do not have' to soaVch far to find the reason. .1'
s the Sunday Mail Tribune
Friday was formerly thelay that the most advertise
'iients were printed. Since the establishment of the Sun
lay paper that issue has carried the most advertisements
Purchasers respond to the advertisements, even those
in the country. The motor has replaced the team largely
there. It is easy to come to town and the people take ad
vantage of the bargains offered in the Sunday issue.
Next to Monday, Friday promises to bocome the bar
i?ain day. Hut the live merchant .is the one who has a bar
gain to offer every day that tempts the frugal hottsewift
mikI the hiivcc.
In this 'Medford is but repeating the history of othei
cities. To get the business the merchant must advertise
mil to rj'ach the purchasing public there is but oue me
