JOLTS AND JINGLES By Ad Brown ' A Cleveland man was Injured while ho was on what he called a "iiyschlc jag." No matter what kind of spirits they aro it Is well not to mix them. 'Grouchy." We used to call him "Grouchy,", 'Cause he had an ugly way Of mixing in with meanness So to spoil our boyish play. lie never was the sort or kid To whom the rest would cottou; I remember the crerctlvo way v Ho had of saying "rotten." Now as a man ho never has A word thats good to say About the town' that gave him all He has on earth today Yes, wo used to call him "Grouchy" And ho think him grouchy still For ho was born a knocker and . A Knocker's hard to kill. THE decision of tho interstate oonuupvoo commission in the Spokane rate ease means u readjust numl of commercial relations all over the conutry. It ends the long period of discrimination against inland cities, in favor of coast terminals, which enabled railroads to build up coast cities and to stifle interior towns. The readjustment of rates will enable inland connnuni ties to engage in manufacturing their own products, thus creating a market for their raw materials at their doors. The decision means the end of the long reign of injustice and inequality. Railroads, particularly Pacific coast railroads, have long penalized people for living m the interior. Jjrom San Diego to Victoria, there is not a single fair sized interior city though many along the seaboard. Those who lived in the interior, were compelled to pay an unjust tribute to uansporiauon companies jor me privilege which sunn ed their development and made growth impossible. If the Spokane decision is reported correctly, the Southern Pacific cannot longer charge more for hauling freight to .Medford from San Francisco than it charges for hauling it from San Francisco through Medford to Portland and back to Medford. Neither can it charge more for moving freight from either Portland or San Francisco to Medford than it charges between San Fran cisco and Portland. The effect of existing conditions has been to paralize development and industry in the interior nowhere more than in the Rogue River Valley. In but one line was de velopment possible horticulture, because for fruit alone was a reasonable rate made. There is opportunity here for the establishment of num erous enterprises, if the output could be marketed in com petition with terminal points. Paper mills would find a profitable field hero could they reach San Francisco in competition with northern mills. Cement works would employ hundreds, if the pro duct could be shipped at reasonable rates. Many other enterprises, for which raw materials exist in abundance, would spring to life, were it not for the rate handicap, now happily in line for removal. In addition, this decision will break the throttle hold of the Portland jobber upon this section and permit the evolution of Medford into a jobbing center. In countless other ways will the ruling be beneficial to this and other interior communities. In brief, Medford lias a certain future now and the inter-state commerce commission has given it a short cut to commercial supremacy. DISTANT A00JTI0N.

That a long and bloody struggle will begin in Per sia shortly between Mohamcda, the former shah and the present Persian government is tho prediction which is being made freely in government circles here. The former shah is said to have 30,000 followers who will aid him in his uttempt to regain the throne.

(From an Illinois Header.) Editor Mail Tribune: As a uou- resident of your paper I wish to ox press satisfaction over careful and systematic rcorts of local weather found in your columns. For a good while back I have been a reader, bide by side, of the Mail Tribune and the representative daily of a city which w perhaps Iho-special rival of Medford in the eyes of non-rchidents and joh sible "locators.' I have wanted to know just what sort of a climate J should live in if I should transfer my family and myself to tho one city or the other. Insofar as I could not get the wisbed-for items in the ono pa per, nnd could get them (and of rela tively attractive kind) in the other, Medford has tho advantage. To those of us who havo been siz zling in the great Mississippi valley com belt it is a great attraction to read the facts shown in your Profes sor O'Gura summary for June. It makes us cool just to run down the columns. It comes home to us much moro realistically than to read an annual tablo or n 20-ycar digest. I find that (asido from inspection; uud with inspection) the following of n daily paper month in and mouth out is tho best wny of studying a place. Climate for the pleasure of it and climate for the sake of production aro things which wo wnnt to know; and tho moro completely and candid idly u paper is tho exposition of facts, tho more satisfactory it is. Of course, we outsiderx read your papers for advances in irrigation a resource which wo aro compelled to think about by tho serious droulh which has corno in many places with tho hot wenthor hero. Wo havo no snowbanks arid no lay of tho land, Kuituble for these purposes. Wo nro interested in tho problem, frequently discussed in the Mail Tribune, of the sou-supporting character of a local ity. Also in the relation of improve ments to population, which affects tho proper valtio of land and tho out look, Also in taxes, in diversity of wteresls and sources of income, in railroads; and finally in tho spirit of tho people, In all these things (ho mirror where wo best see things is tho nowspupor. These last Horns aro somewhat on tho side, but they aro close to the text of your cood weather reports, In all these things what we outsiders. want who nro weighing Medford. m tho scales, aipl who may some day ho your dearest hoighbdrs, is fncttf. facts,' fuels, Pldnso continuo to give them to us. Ycliim truly, JAMES B. TAYLOR. BloomingtonIII. HoBkltiB for Ileal tn. Tlio tact Hint tho' Chlckorlug uud Sons Piano has boon before tho pub lic for nearly ninety yearn as the ex ponent of tho highest art In piano building; that there has been an un broken succession of Uhtukorlug pianos from tho first Instrument built by Jonas Chlckorlug In tS'ja down to tho present day, and that this record has no equal, Is of Itself an argument that Is most convincing, Of even greater luturcvt aro tho present day achievements of tho Ch ckerlugs. Tho great nitlstlu succesa or llusoul in his imUou wide tour if duo In a largo degree to tho tonal dovolopmeut uf tho. present day Chlckorlug and Sous Grand Piano. A pianist, no matter how grcut his ar tistry, Is circumscribed by tho tonal limitations ut tho Instrument lie Is playing. Thut Uuhoal, tho greatest pianist of this generation, should havo found tho tonal resources of tho Chlckorlug Inexhaustible, Is, lu Itself, u convincing evidence of tho constant progress of tho Chlckorlug. .Musical critics everywhere com mented on tho superb tonal qualities that HubomI ovokod, nnd were quick to roalhe that these tones were creat ed by a Chlckorlug and Hous piano; thftt these tunes wore Chlckorlug tones; that only from n Chlckorlug and Sous piano could llusoul have called forth such tones. Hero Is an argument that proves tho superiority or tho Chlckorlng nnd Hous piano. It Is an absolute answer to the question "why Is tho Chlckorlng atid Sons piano tho best?" Such then Is tho real Chlckorlug ot today. Preserving "all tho price less traditions or tho past, rich lu tho memories nnd associations with nil that has been accomplished In tho world or music during the past cen tury, and alert to tho dovolopmeut that art demnnds nnd scleuco con tributes, thus assuring to future gen crntlons tho tuuno Chlckorlng leader ship and prestlgo that characterizes the present nnd tho past. Thus the Chlckorlng salesman who has tho Genuine Chlckorlng and Sons plnno to offer to tho public Is con scious of tho unapproachable charac ter of his Instrument, and has the Inormost conviction that ho Is sell ing tho juost perfect art product the world has ever known. Kllors Music Houso Is tho solo and only representatives of this great piano for tho entire Pacific North west and would warm any ono that Is purchasing a Chlckorlug piano to look for tlio name Chlckorlug and Sons on the rail board and tho date, Established 182.1 on tho east pinto Insldo.
