AVatcp will double tho productive capacity of the

make possible the utilization of thousands of acres of
barren land. If, is a crop producer and a crop insurer

water and sunshine, rsoinethinir cannot be profitably pro-luod as follows.:
duced.
Our clime, our sunshine, our soil, our natural charms
lure thousands, but the fact that we have not water over
our greatest area drives thousands away. The curse ol
the valley has been that we can and do mature crops with
out water, hence not realizing its necessity as an income
producer, have failed to comprehend its value.
J lad this been a desert valley, water would long ago
have transformed it into a garden spot with many times
its present productive capacity. The necessity of water,
being realized, would have brought it.
The only advantage the great fruit districts of tho
northwest have over the logue River valley is water. In
every other respect the Rogue River valley outclasses;
(hem. Thev all were desert wastes until water trans-
formed them into orchard belts. But (heir water goes a
long way to offset our natural advantages.
There is no use attempting (o disguise (he fact (hat
water is needed, any more (ban that smudge pots are
needed. AVhat must be done is to remedy our defect
and it is a simple matter and lies within our grasp. All
that, is necessary is to grasp (lie opportunity that lies
before us.

roll, your industrial development, your nianufacdiries'

The opportunitv is furnished bv the Rogue River
Canal company, a concern that has never asked a cent
from the community, which has already spent $400,000
in development work and payrolls, that has added 7000
acres of productive soil to the valley's area, and stands
ready to invest $1,500,000 more if met with cooperation
on the part of land owners.
The .Rogue River valley has not given this concern a
square deal. Its project has been promiscuously
knocked, the immigration it induced has been scared
away, and real estate speculators, with dry laud for sale,
have systematically decried irrigation. Nevertheless the
company, which comprises such men as Twohy Bros.,
Patrick AVeleli, R. P. Xcil and other successful and
wealthy business men. have kept on work, secure in the
knowledge that water was essential to the development of
the country.
In the past few weeks, through the cooperation of
Central Point citizens, over a thousand acres of land have
been signed np,for water around that thriving city, which
means that Central Point will double in size and business
shortly.
Through the cooperation of Medford, it is hoped to
secure ten thousand acres signed up for water under the
proposed High line ditch, which will cover the territory
from Talent north. JT Central Point can secure .1000
acres, surely Medford can secure .10,000.
"When once the farmer or land owner realizes the value
of water, as they are beginning to realize it around Cen
tral Point, he will .jump at a chance to enhance the
value of his land, double its productive capacity, provide
a payroll tluring construction and pay for the water out
of the increased output of products.
There are many water users along the present con
duits who have paid the entire cost of the water out of
increased revenues obtained thereby, and all should jump
at a chance, which in the eyes of the, experienced farmer
ot'he middle west and northwest, doubles and triples the
value of (he land.

MAKING A SANITARY CITY.
Lognl blanks nt the Medford Print
lug company.
T ADIES of the Greater Medford club are to be con-J-
gratulatcd upon the energy and activity they are
displaying for community betterment. It is to be honed
that their efforts will have the cordial support of the
proper authorities and result in a long needed awakening
of the spirit of civic pride.
Generally speaking, the sanitary survey of the city
Shows that excellent sanitary conditions prevail. Indeed
there is no comparison between the .Medford of today and
the Medford of three years ago, and few cities will com
pare with it in healthfulness. The delects, such as they
are, can be and should be remedied at once.
The most serious matters reported are the conditions
existing at the public schools. Either the-school board is
woefully negligent, or those in direct charge of the schools
are, probably both. That little children should be com
pelled to sit over basements with stagnant water pools on
the floor, and that toilets should he permitted to become
filthy and foul, passes comprehension and indicates gross
inefficiency in management.
' It is hard (o understand why there is so much defective
plumbing in Medford, when there is a city plumbing in
spector paid $100 a month with nothing 'else to do but
look alter plumbing.
There are other unsanitary conditions not touched
upon by the ladies, such as slaughter houses where en
trails are piled in heaps and burned, the unspeakable
nauseating odors permeating the city not exactly indu
cive to health. But they will probably get to these and
other public nuisances and menaces later,
