Thanksgiving 1910
Lfet us return thanks. .
The certified pledges of plenty arc national. For Oregon they are intensified;
for the Rogue River valley, particularized.
With the products of the Rogue River valley ruled high, with its quality' un
cqualod in the world's -markets; with Medford 's commerce never so greatbefore;
with improvements in evidence on every side, there should be a voic-s of "thanks
giving in the cabin, tho mansion, the counting house. From till sections of southern
Oregon that song should ascend next Thursday in volume and unanimity never
before equaled.
The past year lias seen vast'sums poured into every industrial, commercial and
agricultural channel, and this great wealth is giving till Oregon unprecedented im
pulse towards prosperity. It is the Rogue River valley, however, that 1ms boon
seemingly chosen by providence for'a particular manifestation of its favor. A great
fruit crop has been gathered and marketed for top prices throughout the marts of
the world. Other infallible portents of prosperity are militantly apparent. Never
did Thanksgiving come before to Medford with more to be thankful for. In this
valley and city today exist prosperity and development at which tho world may
well wonder.
A paen of thankfulness should ascend for volume and variety of resources, a
monopoly of civilization's most ouioyed product; unrealized assets charted upon
the surface of ice cold actuality.
Dramatic past; stupendous present; challenging future all arc here.
The past year has witnessed a remarkble growth of town and country. More
property has been improved than in any previous year. The overgrown country vil
lage litis assumed the airs and graces of a young city. Miles of paved streets, water
mains, cement walks, sewer mains, have made Medford si desirable place to live,
while orchard villas are replacing-tho antiquated farm houses of a bygone period.
The banks are thankful because they have over'$2,000,0.00 on deposit, an increase
of nearly a million in a year. The ppstoffice for the extension of free delivery a
great increase in its force and an increase in receipts to $20,000 a year.
The people of Medford are thankful for the best of city administrations, an able
and progressive executive and city council, for a live commercial elub and its wide
awake president, for a 'half million dollar water system completed, for miles of pav
ed streets and other municipal improvements. They tire thankful for a population
of 10,000 as against 7000 a year ago.
Orchardists are thankful for the successful fight against fruit pests, for Pro
fessor O 'Clara, for improved horticultural methods. They are thankful thai a car
of Rogue River Newtowns won the international chainpionship at Vancouver, as
did a car of Spitzenbergs a year ago tit-tlic Spokane national show.
The valley is thankful for the completion -of the Pacific & Eastern to vUutte
Falls and the promise of James J. ITill that it will be extended across the Cascades
to an eastern connection.
In fact, we have so many things to be thankful for that it is impossible to enu
merate them all not tho4east being the privilege of living in such a spot as the
Rogue River valley, where God in his infinite wisdom, litis made a place Worth
while.
So let us return thanks.
