EDWARDS PUTS IT
TTtTJIKTHIOR Alodl'oi'd poiitimifs to grow and prosper
and to load all Oregon in progress depends solely
upon tlie people of Medford and the Rogue River valley.
"CJod made the country and ipan the town." Ife made
the country most heaiitil'ul, most fertile, overflowing with
natural resources, lie give us a most salubrious climate
and showers the hills with sunshine three hundred days
in the year.
It is up to man to populate the country, to develop its
.resources, to take advantage of its fertility and to create
the city. Ah we do this is our work well or poorly done.
(liven geographical location, climatic and natural ad
vantages unsurpassed, if our work is not well done we
have only ourselves to blame. Natural opportunities are
wasted if we haven't sense enough to take advantage of
them.
Medford has so far done well. In five years a sprawl
ing country town of .'WOO has become a thriving young city
of 10,000, with metropolitan improvements. Rut the c,it.
lii-s only made a start. It must continue lo grow and citi
zens must redouble their efforts in proportion to its size.
Co-operation, energy and enterprise will create :i
met ropolis upon a desert. If these are lacking you couldn't
build a city in the (Jarden of I'Men.
Med ford's growth and progress over that of other com
munities is (w to superior energy in advertising and ex
ploiting a few of its natural advantages. For half a cen
tury the valley slept peacefully, undisturbed and unre
garded, ignorant of its own attractions, of little faith in its
own resources. Its inhabitants were content in making
a living with a minimum of effort.
Then Medford awakened. A few adventurous spirits
organized the Commercial club and started to tell the
world of what we had, lo exploit our'possibilities, to ad
vertise wluil nature had done. There was an immediate
response and a constantly increasing' stream of people litis
been attracted hither-many to remain. The people of
Med lord loyally supported the club, and it increased its
membership and its efforts. The Rogue River valley and
the Medford of today are the result.
The question before the people of Medford today" is:
Are we going to continue our efforts to populate the coun
try and to build up the city?
If we are, we must back up the Medford Commercial
club in its publicitv campaign, as it represents the only
organized effort to accomplish our aims.
Medford and the valley cannot further advance unless
we get more people to settle the land and develop the nat
ural resources. We do not need speculators, the men who
buy today, hoping to sell at double price tomorrow with
out improving property. We need the men who buy to
plant and make livings from their places, the men who
develop and create. Rut yoti'cannot get these unless you
loyally support your Commercial club in its publicity
work.
The work of the Commercial club has been aptly term
ed the insurance of prosperity. If you want business to
increase, values to go up, people to continue to flock hith
er, land to be cultivated, mines to be operated, lumber to
be manufactured in short, the hundred and one essentials
lo create prosperity, you must loyally support the Commer
cial club and liberally contribute to its funds.
Make the support stronger than ever before, because
there are more of us than ever before, and we want to keep
lite ball rolling till "win can't Mop it."

NOTHING CAM STOP IT
A city can be built on a hill, buf it ik a great task to
build it. You can build a home on a rock pile or on
"hard pan," provided you spend enough labor and
money. To'begin with, il is a matter of some con
sequence to buy and haul soil for a lawn and garden.
J And come to think of it seriously, why should a per
son incur the trouble and expense of converting a
grasshopper district into a dwelling place, when good
land in desirable localities can be had much cheaper r"
ij You cannot gather figs from thistles, neither can
a large crop of hair be clipped from a toad. It would
require considerable advertising to make Rear creek
water equal in quality to that of Hull Run. If through
official favoritisju all tho city improvements were
given to the "bad lauds" they would not be convert
ed into an lulen. The serpent would probably be
there, but the tree of life, never.
The old woman with a broom tried to sweep back
the lides of the sea, .just as official polliwigs tried to
block the progress of Riverside Sub-division. The
titles still flow and this beautiful addition continues
to improve. Observe the number of lots sold and
the improvements under way. If couldn't be other
wise. The lots are all good land: they are beautiful
ly situated, commanding a fine view of the valley
and mountains. Nature has supplied shade trees and
the best of drainage: no mud to contend with even in
the wet est seasons.
f3 Situated on North Rivel'side Avenue, the only street
running through the city from north to south,' the in
terurhan ear line is Mire (o run through this addition.
It is only a lifteeii-iuinute walk from the postoffioe
and close to the North schoel: water and sewer are
now in, and city officials declare Riverside will be
paved this summer without tail. Rut whether paved
or not, the property is .just as desirable, for it costs
Icttf money. And that alone makes this opportunity
shine. These lots are cheap. The owner does not want
all the money nor all the land there is. lie is willing
for you to have some of both. Just to be convinced
calland price them. A group of these lots, for tho
uet two weeks, will he sold uu small monthly pfjy
Hieiits. .
