I Sinjj of Ihc tilings that are close to your heart, You'll find that the songs ring true; Don't worry if your's is a lonely part And none sinjj the "same as you. For many a song that is met with rage And scoffed by the busy clan . Has shifted the scenes of a nation'. stage Or held but a hand to man. T nmnv vein's, and the attention of minintr men iron orally being focused upon southern Oregon, with free elec tric power offered to any newindustry thai is establish ed in the Rogue River valley and with free farms offered to anyone who will work them, prospects are certainly bright for the continued development, progress and settle ment of this section. " Although southern Oregon has yielded close to a hun dred million dollars' worth of placer gold, and some of the richest pockets on record have yielded their tpiota of gold from quartz ledges, mining for many years has languish ed in iliis section. Native prospectors have degenerated into gophering pocket hunters and practically the onl mining done has been burrowing about grass roots. Now it seems as though there was a fair prospect that our mineral-seamed hills will come into their own. Gold, copper, iron, coal, lime, all exist in huge deposits. The offer made by the Rogue River Electric company to supply free electric power, no matter what quantity needed, for one vear to anv new industrv that docs not conflict with a present established industry, is a most com mendable one. The county needs payrolls here is a chance to get them. The Commercial club and other in dustrial bodies should advertise the situation and aid in providing free sites. Promoters should turn their atten tion to tho manufacture of cement and other products, for which the materials exist about here in large quantities. The Rogue .River Canal company's proposal is to sell ten acres with water to any actual settler at half the pres ent selling price, no cash being demanded for the first two years and the payments being then distributed for ton years, so that the settler will have a chance to- make the place pay for itself, thus capitalizing his industry. This surely ought ta bring a class of worthy and industrious people to the vajlcy. It is now up to some of our large land owners and Hip to the Southern Pacific railway, the largest land owner, to inaugurate and support a movement having for its pur pose tjie donating of factory sites and the systematic "de velopment of natural resources. Buying more than we sell, raising the price of land and increasing rentals is not building up a eitv or a countrv and the sooner some ot our property owners, made rich by the efforts of others, realize it, and put their shoulder to the wheel, the better for the community and the better for themselves. Nature, lias done Enough for us it is time to do some thing for ourselves worth while and the time to begin is now. ATHLETE GOING AfiUOM). DE A BOOSTER.

At the request of some of the farmers the paroled pris oners employed in constructing highways near the capital eitv have been called off, and returned to the peniten tiary, the governor announcing that" if the people did not want the road in front of their farms improved, tho state had no intention of forcing the improvement;. Certain newspapers for political reasons are endeavor ing to discredit the governor because of his policy in parol ing convicts, and employing them in useful occupations, where the' can earn tljeir keep, save the state expense and at the same time work oftt their own salvation. Of the sixty-five prisoners .paroled and made trusties, one violat ed his word of honor and escaped. lie was recaptured by the governor himself, but the incident has been magni fied by a hostile press. . There is scarcely a similar length of time in the history of the prison when there have not been more escapesithan in the past few months, since tho governor adopted his parole policy. Public sympathy is "with Governor West in his efforts to better the condition of these outcasts and to effect econ omies for the state.

NO MOVEMENT started in Mecfford means more to the immediate growth of the city and country than the effort to establish a public market, where the farmers and gardeners can offer their product to the consumers of the city. Much of the land around Medford, ideal for garden ing, is now idle or in hay and grain. Jn produce that could be marketed it would be a paying investment, and the pub lic market provides the opportunity sought for by both producer and consumer. The Xatatofium company is to be commended for its offer of a, suitable market site, and it is to bo hoped that arrangements can be speedily concluded which will result in the permanent establishment of such a market. Attention is called to a letter in another column from 0. Carey, the well known Talent gardener. It is one of many letters reflecting the same sentiment received on tho subject by this paper. ,Mr. Carey, as well as many of his neighbors, makes gardening pay, and pay well, and jt is not only his opinion, but the opinion of- every man en gaged in the industry, that Medford 's crying need is a pub lic market.
