time Minn the. following nOdress of
Mayor Nell of AMilnmt nt tho recent
Commercial club banquet:
"Mr. Prenldent nml Oentlemen of th
MctUonl Club; In bilrnlf of the city of
Ashland. 1 wlnh to thank you for the
very kind InVltntlon you hnve no Kener
ounly cxtendeil to me irn tlio mnyor of
Anhlnnd, to be prencnt with you on this
nuxplclouR occasion.
"In common with the executives from
the other cities of this section of the
Btnte, I wish to congratulate your or
Rnnlmtlon on the unnnlmlty of purpose
nnd tlio determlnntlon nnl encrity with
which you push your enterprises, no
mnttcr how Inrcc or how expensive, to
n successful termination. 1 know of no
city on tlio Pacific coast, whether Inrse
or small, that for material growth nnd
well-directed energy will comiwm In
ftny sense with the city of Mtilfortl.
"Coming as 1 do from, and holding
the position I do. In Ashhyul. It may
bo thought by some that for me to
make these statements would be. to
nay the least, embarrassing, but I trtnl
you will glvo mo credit for being lib.
ra and broadmlnded enough to recog
nlio a self-evident" fact) especially when
to disclaim It would bo rih exhibition
of mere folly. '
"Located as you ore In thp very cen
ter of one of the richest, "one of the
moat fertile valleys of Its site Jn the
world, ' surrounded by thousands upon
thousands of acres of the mot produc
tive orchards In existence, lnhnblted by
a people of wealth and of social stand
ing, and never having: seen or heard of
all competitors In a progressive way, un
til you yourselves are amazed at your
own prosperity? ny nature I am an op
timist, but I believe those who know
me best will tell you that I am not an
extremist on any subject, and my pre
diction for the last year or so has been
and still Is today, that your city will
double within the next five or six years.
That you are best advertised city in the
United States. I think. Is undeniable.
That you have attained this distinction
by careful thought, well-directed ener
gy, and the wise expenditure of large
sums of money, there Is no doubt. a
an Illustration of this fact, let me cite
ono of many Instances that have come
under my Immediate observation Last
summer I was returnjnff ,f rom Rattle
to my home in Ashland." -While sitting
looking out the window at the country
as we glided along-,, a Uermioiijust rrotn,
the Fatherland, as he tojil W. and from(
the way he slaughte'red' the Rnfellsh lan
Buage. I am sure he told the truth, ap
proached me. In our conversation he,
uskea me -where I lived. I told him Irt
Ashland. He began to scratch his head
and repeat "Ashland. Ashland." KU

exclaimed. "Vulval Iilcnnvtnow. Anh-
land Is that IlceUa toXm o,nJ,Jtbe hllltoiv
about twentyn miles fremiti) Jlcdrorcl
clttec. I go to Medford." he said. ;
"The subject assigned -mo to- talkMb
this evening. '9uk Ilelatiqn,Ayth,.lour
City," is certainly an interesting one!
I want to say first that I believe th
business and. social .relation of Med
ford and Ashland are "mutually pleas

otherwise, their Jntorests are. too" cloce-j

Mr. togan has made two visits to the
Hlgglns property during recent days,
nnd Is familiar with the conditions,
hence he it id not go today with the
others. Logan recently sold the Logan
placer mine near Waldo to the Waldo

Oregon for a price said to bo SlSO.OOtt,
the same corporation buying nt the same

good for 150,000. and the placer mine
of W. J. Wlmer for MSO.00O. All these
properties, with others, were consolidat
ed by the new company.
Dr. lteddy of Medford returned a few
days ago from a three months' trip
Abroad. On his return he heard of the
strike before reaching the coast nnd In
stead of stopping in Medford on his
way up from iSan Francisco he contin
ued to Portland. He was met by busi
ness friends, who rode part of the way
with him and preliminaries, of 'the deal
to buy the Hlggins property were made
Hlcclns Is on the around, having left
Grants Pass three days ago.
The option held by McPhee stipulated
a purchase price of 130,000 and 10 per
cent net royalty for la years. It Is stnt
ed that Hlgglns has stiffened up con
slderably ou his terms. He stated be
fore the AicPhco option expired that he
would not 'be disappointed if McPhee
failed to make good.
