JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
-
Written In lire Shade.
I Tiavo liecn across Sahara
Where the sun was shining so
That It burned my crop of whiskers
iJusl as fast as It could grow.
So I rise In sweaty anger
And I say "J. Pluve, look here.
Is this sweltering sort of weather
Quite tho best you have this year?"
I hare summered down in Kansas
Where tho eggs hatch by tho heat,
Whlio tho chickens take vacations,
Whcro they cook stuff on the street
"So just look ce hero O'Gara,
I've, a word or two with you,
Is this slr.zllng sort of summer
Qnite tho best that you can do?"
FROM nil cities of tho land eonio complaints of water
shortmro.
In Portland, motel's are being placed throughout the
city. Sprinkling is bring restricted to certain horn's for
eeruuu suctions, ami oven me jarger areas ol me. euy are
dry.
Iii Ashland there is universal complaint of scarcity of
water. The. mayor and council have decided that it, will
be necessary to redistrict the city again this year and re
strict the use of water to alternate days.
The Grants Pass Courier is authority Jor (he state
ment that the water of that citv is unfit for drinking, and
that people are drinking bottled spring and mineral water.
bnvs the C ouner: "It is pleasant to be able to say some
thing good about the water. It is just tho thing to use on
plants and garden truck, so warm that it does not chill
Vegetation. "
Salem, the capital, is still drinking tho sewerage, of
Albany, Eugene and other cities and there is insufficiem
supply of itftv i mention.
Xow Medford can appreciate its magnificent gravity
water system. For the first summer in history, there is
abundant snpplv for all and 200 miners inches flow a day
going to waste. There is magnificent pressure for fire pur
poses, ample for drinking, all that can be used tor irriga
tion. If Mcdford docs not become a beauty spot, it will be
due solely to the lack of civic pride in its citizens. The soil,
the climate, and now the water arc hero for it.
J3ut besides increasing the health of the residents,
beautifying tlie city, lessening the firo-danger, the water
system is a great success financially. Lt lias increased
the number of consumers, quadrupled the revenues, is pay
ing the interest on the entire bonded indebtedness ot the
city and will in a few veal's, pay all the cost of city govern
ment. A half million dollar water system was a big thing for
a small town to stagger under, but it is proving the wisest
and most profitable movement the city ever made.
Other Oregon cities, particularly Salem, should follow
Medford s example. It pays to be progressive.

BELGIAN AVIATOR MAKES "
SUSTAINED FLIGHT RECORD
.1
nitUSSThS. July lS.Olio ,Sla-
Jgers, tho Bolgian aviator, holds th
1 world's aeroplane record for sits
jniiipd flight horo 'today after Inlying
eovered 377 miles without a "top.
Tabuteau, with H02 miles, was the
fopu'er Vecord holder.
A LL the Portland papers carry an item to the effect that
I'orttano leads all cities oi the northwest, with the
single exception of Salem, in growth in postal receipts
tor the year ending June 30, 19ll. Portland shows a
gain of 17.1 per cent, Salem of 2S.1 per cent, Seattle .02
per cent, Spokane 6.1 per cent, Boise 17 per cent, Taconia
2.2 per cent, etc.
Portland journalists for the greater glory of Oregon,
sliould never overlook Medford. No matter what line
of business is taken as a criterion bank deposits, postal
receipts, building, paving and public improvements, or
chard development, mining, railroad business, fruit ship
ments anything and everything Mcdford is "there
with the bells."
Medford s postal receipts for the year ending .rune
30 were $32,646, against $23,283 the year before, a gain
ot i?9,3()3 or 41 per cent. And this is straight post otfice
business no state printing, no election pamphlets, no
campaign literature, no legislative session to swell the
total as Salem had.
For five years Mcdford 's post office has never failed
to show an increase averaging over 3y per. cent for each
year over the operations of the year before. . And the
same ratio continues. '
The federal census of 1910 gave Mcdford a gain of
392 per cent in population over the census of 1900, the
greatest gain made by any city in the northwest the
greatest made in the United States, except one, Oklahoma
Citv.
The record made by Medford cannot be duplicated in
the nation. It is unique in the story of cities. It is the re
sult of energy and enterprise utilizing natural advan
tages. All Oregon should be proud of what Tom Rich
ardson styled "the most metropolitan village in tho world"
and give her the recognition which her activity entitles
her.
