It is true that It has taken some five yents to secure action, but largo boities move slowly. As soon as the structures are l'dirly out of the Way. im provement efforts should stut't. The ground should khe parked, planted to lawn, shrubbery and shade trees, winch will make Mcdford one of the most attractive spots to the traveler on tho entire railroad line. ASS Tn tho effort to improve and beautify, the city, the school grounds should not. he overlooked. The Roosevelt school grounds, for instance, present n disgraceful sight piles of broken rock surrounding the building. It these rocks werp out of the way, beautitication would be Mi easy matter, and nominal expense. It would cost but a few dollars to cart the rock away, yet since the construction of the building, tho only attempt to improve the grounds has been the efforts by the pupils and janitor. A little co-operation should he forth, coming from the school board. Other School yards are in fair shape though some need cleaning up badly. The greatest single factor .in., city.iiuprovcthcut has iirMi io. flronter Medford elub. .Ilia due to tho efforts 'of these ladies that we have tUenuunt there Mas been even.a.spovauu aucmpc.Jti. ueau tification of residence streets by shade trees. To their tireless energy and perseverance Hie coinimullly is deeply indebted. . 'JChe.,refusal of ri-s. AV? G. Davidson to longer servo as president of the Greater Medford elub is to be regretted. She was one of the most capable of the many capable exe cutives the club has had. She has proven herself a splen did administrator and a mqst efficient organizer. Under her regime the club has grown ill membership and power, its scope of work has been enlarged to cover a large portion of human ondeavor. Discord and faction have been ban ished and the club has entered an enlarged field of useful ness that makes it a vital element in the development of the community, which the new executive will doubtless AXteudi. frs.Pavidson's talents are too valuable to per mit of their being unused. She is needed in the upbuild-, iug and beautification of the city. A TALE OF TWO STATES. A NUMBER or people are planning on leaving the Rogue river valley for Southern California, under the impression thajt prosperity has its perpetual abiding place there. On the other hand, a far greater number of Southern. Calilbrnians are planning to come to the TJogue river valley to make their home. Southern California faces hard times. It has been one of the coldest, dryest winters known in years. Thousands of acres of citrus fruit orchards have heei killed outright by the cold. The drouth has made the grain and hay crop a'toial failure. Cattle are dying of starvation on the big ranges. The. prosperity of Southern California rests upon an artificial basis the tourist crop. The climate and scenery have been capitalized and upon it has. the entire super structure of inflation been erected. "Without the tourists, Southern California would collapse, its soil and other nroducts form but a small item in its total business. The tourists, which like the salmon, run every year, are the mam dependence oi, me country. Southern California's climate is not as healthy, the year around as that of Southern Oregon. For the first year or so, the climate seems delighttful. Then the blood thins, and the coinnaritively slight, changes in temperature arp as keenly felt as in a northern clime. The lassitude or a. warm clime soon supplants the inherent energy of colder climes. The individual "runs down." A change becomes noeessarv. Southern California's boasted scenery is not as fine as that of Southern Oregon. Scenic wonders and picturesque vistas are far more plentiful in the Jand of the Uogue. It is true the sights of Southern California have been made accessible bv fine highways, but in this respect only is Southern California as attractive to the sightseer. . Some dav, Southern Oregon will learn to capitalize its climate and'its scenery. Some day a large percentage of the inonev spending tourists will spend their dollars here. Some day we will have as good roads. And these some davs are not so far in the future. In the meantime, Southern Oregon's natural resources are greater, its possibilities, fairer and its opportunities brighter than those of Southern California and those who seek prosperity by leaving the Rogue river valley for the parasitic career of the tourist leech in the "land of climate" tin pursuing a wiii-o-tne-wisp , T AGE W FURTH :h UKLLIXGHAM, Wash., April 2a.

Gold Dollar vs. "Scientific" Dollar .Mr. McCluro invites WliMcr to quit unking pU"tioiw nnd "to get buy with xpeeiflo facts nnd argu ments to refute the principles of neieiitific money." There ure no facts ns yet about scientific money beennso it has not been tried, it it all theory, while ar guments ure biined uton thu probublu working of given principle.

During tho same year, under date of Muy '.'2, a federal law re served tho territory of which Crater lako Is tho center as a national park, hnvlng nu urea of Cl" squnro kilo meters. Klnally, In 1008, u party of topographers began a now survey u' tho lako and tho surrounding terri tory, Including tho etittrn park Their work resulted In the publication of a topographic sheet on n scalo of I to (32, 600, Issued by tho geological sur vey In toil.

We pay our taxes in tho money for which wu have exchanged tho wealth wo have produced and it represents Hint wealth only wo have reduced it to it more concentrated form.
