TX TUESDAY'S city election a total of 132 vote wore
A cast as against 1J7I a jour ago. But Tuesday '? eloe
tion was a quief affair for minor eth officials, While I ho
mayoralty was the stake a yoar ago.
The first ward this yoar oast :KS(i votes as against 37-I
a year ago. The second ward cast IG7 as against 427 a
year ago, and tho third ward 17H against 3GH a year ago.
The result shows thai in spite of (he increased popu
lation the socialists have made no gains in Medford the
past year. They cast 235 votes for'Wolters for mayor in
1911 as against 230 for tfgan for recorder and 2(10 for
Keler for treasurer in 1912.
In the first ward Ooulil got 03 voles for councilman in
1911 and Sankey G6 in 1912. In the second, Drumhill
got -17 a year ago and Thomas So this year. .In the third,
Millar got 151 last year as against White's 128 this elec
tion. OeneraJly speaking, the socialist strength shows no
gain, tor what was gamed in the second ward was lost m
the third.
Developments of the pas); year have ijiven the public
a hotter comprcbeiusion of the ideas and aims of socialism
than it had a year ago. It is an evolution miliar than a
revolution.
Good men have been elected to tho pouneil.. They have
their work cut out for them, for they roplnac men who
have made a most enviable record.
A NEGLECTED INDUSTRY.
OOjNLE time.since The !MauTribuuo called attention to
the volume of exports sniimcd into the vallev and
the necessity of raising hero
awim-, imia iiiium.iuuus uu' u.iiaiu'e oi tratie. i
111 this connection, showing, the market that exists, not
only for feed and produce, but for livestock, the following
letter from D. O. Lively of the Union Stoek Yards at Port
land is printed: ,
To the Editer: In the clippings which come into this l
office there appears an editorial from your paper which ;
gives rne amount oL teed shipped into .Medford from points
outside of the Rogue Kiver valley. It is gratifying to sec
mat you are taking up tins important phase ot agricul
ture. Of course it is generally understood that Medford
is famous and successful as ajsection for special produc
tion, but you can raise feed and livestock in the Rogue
River valley and convert tho iced into livestock. 1 f the
Rogue River valley imports $35,000 worth of feed the
chances are that it imports foiu or five times that amount
of meat and meat food products. "We need a greatly in
creased livestock supply on the Portland market and we
ought to got a share of it from Rogue River valley.
FOR A MINING- EXPERIMENT STATION.
npniS introduction, by Congressman Raker, of Califor---
nia, in congress last Saturday of,a bill providing for
an appropriation of $25,000 for the establishment of a
federal mining experiment station at Auburn, Placer coun
ty, is not surprising to mining men.
For many years the American Mining congress has
been working to educate the general public to the im
portance of the mining industry. In the beginning the
chief object of the congress was to secure a department
of mines in the national government. In a measure this
has been accomplished, but the scope and powers of that
department are too limited at present and need enlarging.
The mining congress has had a hard fight, but sooner or
niter 115 cuoris wm surety nc crowneu wmi success.
The objects of a mining congress are to foster and pro
mote mining in all of its various branches and it is to be
hoped that the Raker bill -will become a law and also that
the Oregon delegation in congress will immediatolv lake
steps to introduce a similar one for the establishment of
a mining experiment station at Medford.
Such stations, when established, will be to the minor
what the agricultural experiment station is to the farmer
and fruit grower. To many of the mining men today, re
search and demonstration would be of great value. Mining
experiment; stations would givp the miner the information
he needs, in order to work more intelligently and more
effectively, just as the agricultural experiment stations
have helped the farmer.
