Sinjj of Ihc tilings that are close to

You'll find that the songs ring

And scoffed by the busy clan .

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.

IF TIIE people of Marion county do not want the con
victs to build liiliwavs for them. Governor AVest
should loan the convicts to Jackson county. AVe will be
glad to use them. : ' ' ' k" ";.
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. It seems a shame that such a disin
terested effort to improve hunufnity cannot be given a
fair trial without partisans straining to discredit human
itarian purposes for political ends.

PUBLIC MARKET A NEED.
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.

improve Hie condition of your home iu hot weather?
Proper ventilation and circulation of air h com
ing, more and more, to bo recognized as a necessity
as well as ft luxury.
Von cannot be perfectly happy if your home is
stifling and stuffy.
An electric fan running at low pressure iu the
sleeping room creates a gentle circulation of air that
makes sleep possible on theso hot, sticky nights when
without artificial breeze sleep is well nigh impossi
ble. Another thing think how much more bearable
an Electric lighted home is in hot weather than ono
lit up by gas or kerosene.
Willi gas or oil lamps ono almost hates to light' up

But Klcctric Light is cool it burns no oxygen
it's refreshing, brilliant, healthful and "so handy."
