JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
Tho Chinese government has start
led wnr on opium. That's the dope.
v
A Portland man has been fined foi
Vsuyiiig, "Oh, yon kid," at a woman.
A man has to 'keep up to the latent
"'siting or he'll get in trouble.
The life of the woodsman is be
coming more dangerous. A party
j,of American nrchers are going to
vCauada to hunt and practice.
; Hot weather in the cast has its
good points; it may make congress
'adjourn.
1LI OAV big cities nro developed from small towns" is
the title of ji booklet issued by "William Parker in
which is condensed much that the 2St"ail Tribune has for
years been preaching to the people of Bedford. It is to
the effect that cities are made by the men in them, that
they become great or small according to tho will, brains,
and enterprise" of their inhabitants. That optimism team
work and faith are essentials, and self sacrifice, civic
pride and loyaltv mdispensible.
Mod ford's future lies with its citizens as they prove
themselves capable or incapable so will the city grow or
mark tune. As they solve the problems presented, the
development of the country, its natural resources and its
settlement, just so will this city prosper. Any destiny
awaits it that its progressive people determine upon. As
Mr. Parker truly says:
"Wherever men say a city shall be built, on that spot it
will rear its towers and domes. It nrtiy not be tho spot
most favored bv nature, but if it is the spot determined
upon by men, the city will arise out of tho magic of men's
activities.
The most favored spot in the world would never be
come a city if men shunned it.
The only limitations upon the growth of a city, as his
tory proves, are those fixed by tho people who compose
that city.
Cities grow into greatness and maintain it, according
to the faith and works of their people. Cities slip back
ward and fall into decav or dissolution as the activities
of their people are lessened or withdrawn.
The site of the greatest citv that the world ever saw
is now a teuantlcss waste of ruins.
Cities grow and halt and slip back and take a fresh
start' and grow again, and become greater than" ever, or
fall and refuse to rise, as the history oFthe world attests.
Their progress or their retrogression is exactly measured
in response to the attitude of their people.
The possibilities of a city are encompassed in the
minds of its citizens.
" The mental attitude of its people is the foundation up
on which the material enlargement of the city is constructed.

POWDER MILL EXPLOSION
DESTROYED SPRING CHICKENS
CIHCAGO, 111., July 10. Commis
sion merchants and housewives have
wondered why no spring chickens
''have apopnrcd in the market, and to
day tho reason was ascertained.
When tho Dupout Powder mills at
.Pleasant Prairie, Wis., blow up last
have appeared in the murket, and to
buildiugs for -5 miles in every direc
tion. No thought was then given to
the hundreds of thousands of hens
which loft their nests and wandered
dumbly about for hours, The hens
finally returned to their jobs of
jhatchiiig out broilers for tho murkot,
but tho vigration hud destroyed Jho

ATTENTION is called to the communication publish
ed elsewhere, regarding the Willow Springs canyon
fire. This fire, from a small start a few days ago, when
a little eitort would have controlled it, has attained con
siderable dimensions. It has already destroyed one arm
house and threatens others. Unless it burns itself out,
it may blaze away all summer.
The attention of the forestry bureau at Medford was
called to the fire, but as it was not in a national forest,
the supervisor stated that it was out of his jurisdiction.
If a strong wind from the right direction should blow, it
might reach one of the national forests in a blaze several
miles wide.
There is a private fire patrol, organized by timber
owners, which looks after fires in certain districts where
the members have interests. As none of the members hold
ings arc in this burning district, of course no assistance will
be rendered from this source for the Willow Springs region.
The State of Oregon appropriated $50,000 for fire
fighting at the last legislature and a chief forester was
named, but aside from flooding the newspapers with mat
ter whose free publication is asked, nothing seems to have
been accomplished in the line of real fire fighting.
Here we are in Jackson county with three forest fire
fighting organizations and a forest fire raging and no
help from any source in extinguishing tho flames. Yet
when the government timber or the big timber owners
property, is reached, the public will be expected to rush
to the rescue, troops and militia will be ordered out and
tanners dratted to fight the i lames.
It makes a difference whose forest is burning.
Central Point, July 8, 1011.
To the Editor: A largo forest fire
is in full bliir.o on tho west ridge
miles south of the Gold Hill mouu
miles souht of the Mold 1 lilt mouu
tain road ami four miles iiorthwe.it
of Central Point. This fire started
about four or five days ago, It is
rapidly sweeping hi a southerly" di
rection and a change in the wind may
easily send it east, towards tho val
ley, and endanger several neighbor
ing homes and properties.
The chief forester of Medford,
uhu being notified by tho writer two
days ago, could not promise to take
any definite action. It seems that
the burning district is "without his
jurisdiction, that perhaps tho county
or owners might be induced to do
sumo tiling- if they knew about the
lire,"
Meanwhile the fire is
llrowing beyond control. Kvcry day
is making matters more serious, con
trary to tho agreeable nud conven
ient belief that the fire will good
naturedly decide to stop after a while.
As we nro not likely to get much
rain at present and as thero is utw
limited timber for the fire, to spread
over a little immediate action would
be more to the point.
Why could not a competent forest
ranger be sent up to sire up tho sit.
nation and organize a-fighting erewf
There would bo no lack of volunteers
to assist him.
It seems incredible that so much
valuable time enn be lost through red
tape procedure when the citizens
show their willingness to help.
I sincerely hope that you will see
fit to insist upon this matter being
looked into nt once, and thus sine
rnouy future and u-eless regrets.
Although this fire U spreading con
siderably and rapidly becoming a
menace, hardly anybody seems to
know or to care about it.
Thanking you for your co-operation
I herewith beg to remain ery sin
cerely yours. '
