NOT A POLITICAL FOOTBALL.
WHATEVER cluuiROs the now administration makes,
it is to be hoped that the public market will bo left
undisturbed under the present management.
The market hag bo,tm au unqualified success and has
materially redwood the cost of ljviiur in Medford as well
as helped the farmer market his produce. The first year
was, of course the most trying time, for it wtis necessary
to do a great deal of skirmishing to keep a proper supply
of produce, on hand.
The success of the market is due in no small degree
to the efficient management given by Markotmastor
Runypn. In Other hands, it nu'glithavc been a failure. lie
has however, made t popular vjth both producer and
consumer. . t ,
great moment to the community that it should not be made
a political loot ball to be kicked about as a reward lor
political services. Mayor Eifc,rt will male a popular paw
to leave the market as it is.
IMPROVE HOSPITAL EOAD.
THE attention qC .municipal authorities is respectfully
called to tlio condition ot! tho road from Main street
to the Sacred Heart hospital which is practically im
passible at this season of, the year.
The hospital is one of our most worthy, perhaps the
most worthv of our institutions. Since itsestablishmcnt,
none of the afflicted have ever been turned awav. At the
present time, and this is no
cent or more oL the patients
. Humanitarian considerations,, tho necessity of prompt
service for the ill, the inconvenience and danger ot delay,
the actual hardship involved for till copcerned, makes a
good highway necessary.
, The hosiital sisters have already made a very large
invpstment. The hospital is operated at an actual loss, so
That it is out of the question for them to undertake to con
struct this road.
The city should do it the cost is comparatively trif
ling, and the benefits to be derived great. There is no good
reason why the city shouldn't do it, and do it at once.
Consolidation, Not Supervision, Is

The county superintendent with

The Relation of Insurance to the
Development of a Great State
, '-
Written for the Dlilly Mall Tribune by Col. K. llofor, IMItor of Tho
Oregon Man ufueturur.
No great city Was eer built up
without becoming the homo of ouo
or more great Ufa lnsuranco enmpn
nlos. This Is true of Now York,
Philadelphia, Chicago. Milwaukee mid
Portland. Tho money annually sent
out of Oregon for life lnsuranco
amounts to $2,500,000. This stream
of wealth was never even checked
until tho Oregon I.tfo lusuraueo
company was organized nt Portland
fuen years ago, and which now lias
over six million dollars Millrles Iu
forco, with total death I(kis In
seven years of only $rG.CG3. No
such record of death losses, none of
them due to climatic conditions, was
ever made by any Insurance company
In tho world, and proves that Ore
gon has a wonderfully healthful cli
mate, as well as careful selection of
risks by tho company referred to.
Yet our people go on sending out of
the statn two and a half million dol
lars annually for what they can fur
nish bettor hero at homo than any
where In tho world.
The wonderful record of Oregon
Llfo Is being duplicated by tho Pa
cific States Fire Insurance company
of Portland. As no great financial
centers can ho built up without well
managed life Insurance companies, no
great state can bo developed with
out successful flro Insurnnro organ
izations. Ono of tho greatest assets
of states llko Iowa, Massachussctts,
Connecticut nnd California aro their
strong, well conducted tire lnsuranco
companies According to tho Insur
ance Commissioners' report Just pub
lished Oregon Is sending away ten
thousand dollars achworktng day In
tho year for fire Insurance. Only
about nlno per cent Is carried by
home companies, and yet tho loss
ratio of Oregon Is tho lowest at any
stnto In the Union. All territory
west of the Ilocky Mountains hns u
low ratio of flro losses but Oregon
Is tho lowest and hence a well-managed
flro Insurance company In Ore
