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.

LONDON, July 25. 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. The Persian government has
abont 50,000 troops,'but much doubt
us to their loyalt yis felt.
iho deposed shah embarked at
Baku in disguise under bogus pass
ports and is now at Astrabad.
The German press intimates that
the supposed shah may be an im

England to create disorder, facilitat
ing the partition of Persia. Hussia,

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

is tho best wny of studying a place.

climate for the sake of production

and tho moro completely and candid

tho more satisfactory it is.
Of course, we outsiderx read your
papers for advances in irrigation a

which has corno in many places with

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
