ivo ideas provnil. The Oregouiau nnd
the .Journal of Portland both gave
the story prominence and both com
mented editorially on (he advantages
of this section for the establishment
of sitih an institution. San Francis
co and Denver papers published the
nccount of the offer sent out on the
United Press association wire. Other
cities east probably did the same but
as these papers have not ns yet had
time to reach Medford the manner
in which they handled it is not us yet
ynown.
It rather surprised the Med ford
boosters that Ashland should break
into the game. Medford was not af
ter thp university for Medford but for
tho Itogue River valley. Local boost
ers did not enro whether theinstitu
lion was placed at one end of the
valley r the other so long as it was
placed in ilio Hoguo River valley. It
meant the expenditure of as much
money iu tho county as the present
assessed valuation and it made little
difference whether it was placed iu
or without any of the cities iu the
valley. t
Locnl boosters aro jubilant over the
way the matter worked out. It has
proved nearly as grcnt an advertis
ing scheme as tho (creation of the
stnlo of Siskiyou and would huve as
great an effect had tho lists been
open for the next two weeks, but Mrs.
Harrimau hns put an end to it by
announcing that she docs not intend
to build a university.
However, lest it misunderstanding
arise, Medford was not bluffing with
hor offer to Mrs. Hurriman. The
fiilo for tho univorsity would huve
been given nnd a ensh bonus too, if
it had beon necessary. Medford
never falls down when sho goes af
ter unylhing.
