Damls, sec. 80 ON IS of (ho greatest needs of the Koguo Kiver valley is a working farming populnt ion small. producer whose products will help keep the balaneo of t ratio in favor of tho valley until tho bulk of orchards become pro ducing. Only a small percentage of the 73,000 acres of com mercial orchard in tho Mod ford district are in hearing. A few years more will see fruit shipments increase f000 to 10,000 carloads u year. Until these young groves are in bearing energy should be. directed toward producing more of what avo consume, and at present import. Tho great trouble ties in the difficulty of securing the right people. Alost of this class of settlers who want to work out their own salvation have little or no money. Those with monoy are attracted by fruit raising rather than diversified or truck farming. Those without other capital than their labor and energy have difficulty in get ting a start and securing land to work. To solve this problem ill a practical fashion, to bring the man and tho land together, is the aim of tho Rogue River Canal company, now constructing a two-million-dollar irrigation system for lands around the valley, and to accomplish this purpose they aro making a special of fer to actual settlors. llomoseekcrs will he permitted to select five or ton acres of land under irrigation and make their residence thereon without any cash payment for two years, and are then given seven years to make final payment, tho total cost of tho land being half what it is being sold to non residents for. This gives the settler a chance to make his property pay for itself by its products. Ho will also be given opportunity to earn money in addition by earing for the property of non-residents in tho same tract. Jn making the offer, tho company gives its reasons therefor as follows: "We have the utmost confidence regarding the produc tiveness of the soil with irrigation, and thousands of dol lors' worth of these lands have boon sold to non-residents and aro now in cultivation. To properly care for this large improved acreage, and increase the value thereot, as well as the thousands of acres of unsold lands which we own, it is necessary to encourage bona fide settlors to bring their families into our district. J3y so doing it will enable non residents who have had their lands planted to orchard to avail themselves of a nortion of the services of those set tlers' and reduce the present cost of maintenance, and by reason of the large number of families making their resi dence in this district and cultivating their own tracts, tho productiveness and value of our lands will be proven, and in basing our values on actual returns shown by these set tlers we will, within one or two years, be justified in asking more than double the price which we could obtain at this date." The Rogue River valley is fortunate in having among its developers such far-sighted capitalists as those who comprise the canal company. It is upon the foresight of men like Mr. Cummings and associates in this and other enterprises that hopes of the future xn'osperity of this section are founded. INFLATED RENTALS. MEDFORD has long suffered from inflated rentals. The rapid growth of the city caused an abnormal demand for structures of all kinds. As new buildings are erected the demand is being supplied, and rents must take a tumble. Adjustment must follow the law of supply andLi demand. The owners of some of the flimsily built business struc tures that did service in village days want as much rental a year now as their original investment amounted to in these properties. Many of the owners of business property in Medford have been made rich through the efforts of others. Their sole contribution to the upbuilding of the city has consist ed of raising rentals. The tenant must even pay for im provements. They seem to think that exorbitant exac tions make up for lack of enterprise. The rent that a merchant can afford to pay is based upon the volume of business possible, and this in turn de pends upon the population. It is absurd and ruinous to try and exact rentals' in a city of 10,000 that fit a city of 2"),000 or 50,000 population. High rentals unnecessarily increase the cost of living and drive away trade and popu lation, and frequently spell bankruptcy for tho merchant and property owner. All cities of rapid growth suffer from inflated rentals and landlord exactions. This is particularly true in the west and northwest. Portland, Seattle .and Spokane aro all suffering from landlord rapacity, oven as Medford isv Concerning the conditions in Portland, the Journal says: "Jt will be harmful to Portland to get ground rents, office rents or residence rentals too high. t is inflation, mid the greater the inflation the sooner will be the col lapse and the further the fall. The stability of Portland lies in the fact that it has always been conservative. Tt ought to be saved now from the follies and fury of a land lord trust."' GEORGE V. CROWNED KING OF GREAT BRITAIN (Continued from Page 1.) crossed by tho ribbon and collar of ho Garter, act off tho beauty of tho royal mantle which last did duty on tlio Hhouldcrs of tho fourth George. On bin head he woro tho crimson "cap of maintenance" and hlfl long Diirplo robo trailed avuy behind him, supported by eight youthful noble men, tho BOiiH of tho highest poors ui England. "Vlvat Rex Georglus! Vlvat Rox Goorglus! .Vlvat! Vlvat! Vlvat!" shrilled tho Westminster school boys as tho king walked to tho second "ohulr of lecognltlon." It was past noon when tho Arch bishop of Canterbury begun tho ac tual ceremony. First on tho program was tho "recognition," or presentation of the king to tho people. His majesty and tho oueon having knelt for a moment in silent prayor, Georgo advanced to tho center of tho (lain, while his wlfn reseated herself in tho "chair of recognition." Then, followed by the Archbishop of Centerbury, Lord Chancellor Lord Loroburn, Lord Great Chamborlaln Karl Carrlngton, Lord High Constable of Hnglund tho Duko of Kffo, Karl Marshal tho Duko of Norfolk and Garter Klng-of-Armw Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty, tho monarch fared successively to tho euHt, south, west and north of tho "theatre," and at each corner tho Archbishop cried loudl; "SU's, I hm present lo ,nu King Cloorgo, tho undoubted King of the rcivliu. Wheiefoio all yon who ato couio thin day to do hoin aj;o, aro willing lo do the name?" As the words mug through tho groat edltloo they veto answered by mighty shouts of "Hod save King George! " At each presentation the king bowed to the corner at which he had been aeelaliued. Tho cere; mony ended with a uvnfaro fiom tho silver trlumpets. Communion Senleo lleguu. Then the king and tiuoon were conducted to the ch.ilrs set for Ihoin nt the south side of (he communion tablet" The nobleuieii bearing tho regalia, excepting those with the swords, presented their burdens to the archbishop who delivered then; to the ivuu of Westminster to be placed upon tho Uiu SlandltiK In front of the king, the archbishop of, Canterbury asked: "Is Your Majesty willing to take the oath?" King Georgo replied, firmly and clearly: "l am willing." "Will you solnmb promise and swear," innulreil the Archbishop, "to govern the people of this United Kingdom of Great Hrltaln and Ire land and the dominions thereunto belonging, according to tho statutes lu Parliament agreed on, and the respective laws and customs of the same?" "I solemnly promise so to do," said the Mug. "Will you to vpur power causo.law and Justice In ml'rcy to bo executed In all your JudgmentT" continued the ArchbUhop. "I will." said the king. "Will you." mild tho Archbishop. "to the utmost of your power main tain the laws of God, the true pro fesslon of tho gospel and the proles- taut reformed religion established by law? And will you maintain and pre serve Inviolably the settlement of the Church of Kngl.ind and the doc trine, worship, discipline and govern ment thereof, as by law established In Kngland? And will you preserve unto the bishops and clergy of Kn gland and to the church committed to their charge all such rights anil privileges as by law do or shall ap pertain to them or any of them?" "All this." sntti'tho King. "I prom ise to do." Cnroimtlon O.1II1 Tnl.cn. This formula concluded, the king arose from his seat, and pruceded bj tho sword of state, steppod lo tho altar, where he uncovered and knelt, whllo the Archhljliop presented to him tho Kroatrfliljjle, opon nt the Gospels.. 'UiylnfciJiiH right- hand on tho book. Ills Majesty said: "The things which I havo heretofore prom ised, I will perforin and keop. so help mo God." Then ho khwod tho Bible and formally slfined the parchment upon which tho oath was set forth Then the king returned to his chair and waited until the choir and orchestra had rendered tho hymn "Vein Creator," a prayor ami tho un them, "Zadoe the l'rlost." Afterward. having, with the Lord Great Chum berlnln's assistance, taken off his cap of state and crimson robes, ho took bis seat in St. Kdwnrd'H chair. Four gentlemen in black brought forward the golden canopy and fo-ii Knight.s of the Garter advanced and held it over the royal head. Tin Dean of Westminster poured n few drop-i of holy oil from the uuipulk into the quaint old spoon held ready to receive it, the Arelibishop of Can terbury dipped his' finger inlo (hi bowl and then, turning to thu King he marked the cross in oil 011 tin crown of the hitter's head, 011 hi breast, and on the palm of each ban 1, saying in conclusion: "And iih Solo mon wuk appointed King by Zadoe, the pricM, and Nullum, the prophet, ho ho you nnnointed, bleshcd and consecrated king over this people, whom the Lord your God huth given you to rule and govern." Having knelt for the Archbishop' -blessing, (lie King then reseated him self in St. Edward's chair, and, tlu canopy having been .removed, I In Demi of VYVntuiiiiHiiir 'threw over hi shoulders the kingly vestments -tlu "(niobium Hindonis" and thu "super tunica" respectively u sleeveless surplice of tine wliilo cambric, trim med witli luce, uinl a short-sleeved tunic of cloth of cold over which 11 swordbch wii worn. Then the Dean brought the "groul spurs" from the pillar ninl liu'iid'-i! them lo the Lord Great ('hitmhc'r)uiu. who knelt, touched the King's hech with them and retuAied them to tin nllur.

Then the monarch roe lo he In vested vvith the nrmilla or bracelet and the impeiial mmttlo of cloth of gold and when he had resumed hi seat, the Archbishop placed (he oih in his light hum!, saying: "Keeetvo this impmiut rohe and orb and (lie Lord your Hod endow you witli knowledge and wisdom, wilh majesty uml vvith power from oil high, the Lord clothe you with Ihe roln of righteousness and wilh tho garments of salvation.

At this tho King iclurued (he oih lo the AivhliUliop, vvlio replaced it on tho altar and slipped the ring up on the fourth finger of Hi. Majesty' ligh! hand. "Heceive this ring," he said, "Ihe ensign of kingly diguil.v und of defense of (he enlholie faith." As Ihe (wo seeplers vveie next bioughl up, Ihe Duke of Newcastle stepped forward (o discharge hi duty, as bird of the Manor of Work sop, of placing an embroidered glove on the kingly light hand. Into the same hand the Arelibishop thrust Ihe scepter wilh the cross, the Duke ir N'ewea-tle kneeling meanwhile uml supporting the King's arm. Then, in His Miijo.ty's led hand was placed the scepter with the dove." "I'cceive Ihe rod of eipiily and mercy,'' asid Ihe Archbishop, "lie so merciful that you he not too re miss. So execute justice that vo.i forj-et not mercy. Punish the wicked, piotest the cherish the just and lend jour people in the way wheiein (hoy should go." Xow the Dean of Westminster brought St. I M ward's crown from tho altar. The Archbishop look it, showing plainly in every movement, as he did so, despite his brave cf foils to conceal his agitation, how deeply (he preceding trying iilual had, af fected him. After a shmt prayer he placed the circlet gently but tremb lingly upon thu King's head. Instantly every elect rie light in the Abbey was turnod full on, the silver trumpets brnjed tllr- royal salute, the peer clapped their enroiiets upon their heads and (lie Abbey fairly rocked with Ihe shouts ot : "God save the King!" Outside the sacred edifice, (he roll of the drums was quickly drowned in tho road of cheering from hun dreds of thousands of throats. Georgo V. has been crowned King of Kngland.
