MEDF01UVS water system is one of its greatest, assets.
It vns by Tar the most fur-sighted and progressive
aetion ever taken by its eiti.ens.
It has quadrupled the number of consumers and more
than quadrupled the revenues derived.
Instead of there being a monthly deficit, in the water
fund, as formerly, receipts this year will be siuticient to
pav interest on the entire bonded indebtedness ot the city
and provide for a sinking fund.
"When Bedford voted to issue bonds to build a gravity
water system it had less than 5000 population. It is per
haps the only city in the entire nation of that population
that had the courage to plunge nearly half a million dol
lars in debt for a water system, to follow it up with a sewer
system, paved streets and other municipal improvements.
The water system consists of twenty-three miles of
gravity main with a daily discharge of 4,500,000 gallons,
twenty-five miles of cast iron distributing system and a
city reservoir with a capacity of 2.000.000 gallons. Its
source is in the headwaters of Little 13utte, a stream fed
bv the melting snows of Mt. McLaughlin.
The supply of water brought in is sufficient for a city
of 25,000 or 110,000 people. At present as much is wasted
as used.
No city in the country has a better water system, none
has purer or better water, none has the quantity per cap
ita. Portlands famed Bull Run water alone is equal in
quality to Medfords Little Butte, but the quantity per
inhabitant falls far behind. Ashland's is equal in quality,
but deficient in quantity supplied.
water is the weak point m Oregon cities. low have
a sufficient supply. Fewer still Jiave pure water. There
fore,' typhoid epidemics are frequent.
The poor water supply is a standing reproach to many
Oregon towns. Salem, the capital city, sets an unprogres
sive example by supplying citizen and state institutions
with germ-laden moisture, unsafe to drink. .Every effort
to install an adequate supply of pure water has met de
feat at the hands of the mossbacks. Many other cities,
naturally more favorably situated than Medford, have fol
lowed in her footsteps.
The best investment any community can make is a good
water system not only on account of the increased health
of its citizens and the beauty and adornment of the city
itself, but as a remunerative enterprise, returning a good
profit upon the investment.

are- private property nnd as stieli nro as

It has become the cuitom uf a (treat
many to stop In front of mv place and
fill tho air with eery kind of discordant
sounds In orler to frighten the animals,
thereby endangering my property by
causing tho animal to Injure themselves.
This Is especially true of some nutolsts
who stand In front of tho pen luul blow
their horns for the especial purposu of
frightening these animals.
Therefore I request that those animals

CREATING A BUSINESS.
IFilT ays the merchant to advertise a sale occasionally,
it pays him to advertise a sale daily. This has become
recognized in the mercantile world and we find the up-to-date
merchant is the advertiser, the one who arranges a
sale of articles daily and lets the people know about it.
Usually at the occasional sale, the price of nearly every
article carried is materially reduced. Instead of making
these reductions in a lunrp, the wise merchant makes them
on an article or two at a time daily, and uses them as
"leaders" to attract custom. Then at the season's end he
makes a big sale on the surplus articles left from the daily
sales. ' ' '
This is the secret of attractive trade and it is respon
sible for the growth of so many small stores into big de
partment stores. The successful city store cannot be op
erated successfully without advertising and the same
methods successful in the big city create success in the
small town.
