REBECCA (URUSLA ST. GEORGE) AS SHE ARRIVES IN THE "BRICK
HOUSE" IN KLAW & ERLANGEIVS PRE-EMINENT ATTRACTION
"REBECCA OFSUNNYBROOK FARM" AT THE MEDFORD THEATRE,
THURSDAY NIGHT.
The nicotine; was called to order by
Ed. M. Andrew, who outlined briefly
the benefit which would follow the
development of such n property
the Who Ledge mine, lie then n.skcd
r ltcddy to outline the proposition.
Dr. Iie'ddy dwelt at some length
upon tho vnlno of such development
work tolling in detail of las exper
iences in oilier heotious where the
wealth of n community depended en
tirely upon its mines. He pointed to
the fnet that a payroll of over fiOO
men would follow the construction of
the road which would be of vast bene
fit to Medford.
"To secure this payroll," slated
Mr. Reddy, "the people of Medford
need bill to see that n railroad is
constructed to the Blue Ledge. To
build such a road will require a half
million dollars but we do not need iO
raise nil of this aruomit. If we will
subscribe a part of it, .$75,000, and
start construction work building a
low miles, then wo eon bond the pro
perty nnd secure the money to com
plete the road. I have been told by
two bond houses that they would
take those bonds and thus the com
pletion of the road is assured. And
Medford can easily raise $75,000.
"Mr. Towne has assured me that
he would build a plant nnd start the
operation of the mine as soon as such
a railroad is completed, nnd that he
would guarantee a minimum tonnage
of 2000 tons a month."
Dr. Reddy then told how ho had
happened to take the mntter up. Ap
proached by Dr. Adkins nnd R. II.
Whitehead, these men had offered to
contribute a considerable amount to
ward the building of such a road.
Following this a number of other
business men offered to come in rea
lizing the advantages of the operation
of the Blue Ledge. He had then tak
en the matter up with Mr. Towne.
"I have no faith in the Southern
Pacific building a feeder," stated Mr.
Reddy, "ns this has not been their
lolicy in the past. So we must build
it ourselves. And we can do it."
Dr. Reddy then called upon a num
ber of citizens to express their opin
ion in regard to the mntter and not
one sounded a note of opposition. AH
of those who spoke ventured the
opinion that such a move would prove
of vast benefit to the city nnd valley.
Gus Newbury was first called up
on und after stating that he believed
firmly in the movement stated that
he would mulcc a very liberal contri
bution to the cause when the sub
scription commitleo should call upon
him. In addition ho will use his in
fluence with his friends in furthering
the movement.
Judge Colvig, when called upou,
first took a rap at those in the aud
ience who were not members of the
Commercial club. "Those who do not
help us in the club never built a rail
road," he declared. Ho paid a tribute
to the Medford spirit and stated that
he had no doubt in the least but that
tho task of rnUing tho necessary
amount to start to work would be
easy.
William Ulrich was called upon to
uddresb the meeting and after slating
that pay rolls must be secured in this
county offered to give as great u per
cent of his wealth toward the move
ment us did Dr. Atkins or Mr. Whitehead.
J I. C. Garnet t told of tho days
when development work was under
way upon n large scale at Iho Blue
Ledge und told of tho business it
brought to Medford at that time. He
made a pioBt enthusiastic address up
on tho subject and urged everyone to
help in as grent a degree as jiossible.
W, II. Goro urged a wholehearted
support of the movement and declar
ed that lie had absolutely no doubt
as to people of Medford and their
attitude toward it. Any movement,
proved meritorious, would find sup
port by nil of the people of this city.
Ho pledged his personal support.
George Davis, George Putnam and
E. K. Kelly also addressed the meet
in and pointed out tho benefits which
would ui'cruo to the, city with tho
buildiog of huqIi a road.
During tho evening soverul flings
wuro tuken by Dr. Reddy und others
a! the Southern Pacific and II, E.
Lomibbury, general freight agent who
was present was culled upon to au
drosH the meeting. Mr. Lonusbury
stated that ho was sure that the
Southern' 'Pjuelfiu would lend its uid
U tho peoylo of Medford. Ho Uo
discontinued.
