Win. M. Colvig, Tho llouora

Directors, Tho Medford
Commercial Club,
flentlenien: It is with deep
regret that I tender herewith
my resignation as secretary of
this club, to dike of feet with
thu close, of thu current month
J am loth to sever the pleas
ant associations with its offi
cers and members, who havo
so uniformly treated mu with
thu utmost consideration and
kindnubs during my terms of
office. Business conditions,
which I ennnot afford to ig
nore, justify this action on my
part, having received a very
flattering offer to become of
ficially connected with a largo
and growing corporation at
Portland, and with which my
field of duties uvtund unlimit
ed opportunities for advance
ment into greater and broader
circles.
To yourself, personally, and
Iho many friends I havo found
in iMedford, I nssuro you of
my sinceio gratitude for the
splendid support I have been
given in Iho carrying on of
my work. I havo given my
best el foils in the interests of
jMcdford and the Jtugno river
valley, and hope that in your
e.ves and those of the commu
nity, they havo not been in
vuiu.
ily leaving iMcdfoid will
not in any way alter my opin
ion of its splendid position
and its brilliant prospects,
nor my unstinted admiration
for the unselfish spirits who
are lcspousiblo for its com
mercial supremacy and na
tional icptilatiou for all that
progress and unswerving pur
pose mean. The Rogue liver
alley will always be Oiegon's
gem to nic, uud Medford will
bu all that is hoped for il to
day, bemuse communities like
this cannot be otherwise uheio
Iho foundation is built upon
natural resources of unlimited
volume. Wespcct fully yours,
