Abundant harvests lmvq been the rulo for half a century In tho smiling valley of tho llogue. 1913 ' no exception. Good crops and gooi prices havo contributed their aharo towards prosperity. lu every way the valley Is In bet ter condition than for years. The Btlmulatlon of tntonslvo farming and diversified production Is shown by In creased shipments of all products though In this respect as In others, the valley Is still In tho Infancy of its development. The story of tho year's progress Is concisely told In tho pages of this Is sue. Approximately 1200 cars of fruit havo been shipped as against a 100 a fow years ago. Tho prices re ceived nro given by tho orchardlsls themselves rather reluctantly given in most Instances as tho pro perties arc not on tho market. A few years moro and tho output will havo quadrupled for not only tho growing but tho marketing and pro tection problems nro most intelli gently handled In this district Industrial developments In other lines is shown by tho beginning of construction of a huge. cement plant. deals pending for lumber mills, and otforts under way to secure a rail road to tho sea as well as over tho Cascades, and tho construction of permanent highways for tho tourist traffic No region offers tho homeseeker moro than tho Hoguo river- valley No whore Is lifo more enjoyable.

The site itself was a generous donation of tho citizens.

MEDFORD BECOMJNG A CITY BEAUTIFUL I 10 10 STOP IN OREGON In tho past three months there have been four prominent nml large ly attended mnss meetings held nt Aslilnml, Medfonl, Grants Pnss and Itoseburj; to consider how the peo ple of this state may best take ad vantage of the groat flood of immi Rrntion that will travel up and down the Pacific coast, especially during the year 1013.

OF The Medford high school afori strong courses along tho academic and vocational lines. Tho widest choice is given in the matter of dec tlves so that a pupil is given as much freedom as possible lu following his natural- adptatons. Aside from the usual courses In languages, mathe matics, science and history, a strong commercial course is offered, as is also a course In mechanical and arch itectural drawing. Tho vocational side .1 strongly represented by tho department of manual training, domestic art, and domestic science. Tor tho girls a strong course In household econom ics Is planned to corrclato with sew ing and cooking. Tho manual de partment Is now being enlarged and undergoing extensive changos to mako room for more benches nud some improved machinery. Tho man ual departments nro all popular as Is attested by tho large number of students enrolled in thorn. Vocal music Is a required study In the schools of Medford, and iiiohi ox cellent work Is being done In this de partment. In tho high school oppor tunity Is given pupils to do oxtru work in chorus and orchestra, for which regular credits nro given. The total enrollment for this y.vir 1b 12 per cunt incroaso over Inst year, and tho school enumeration shows over 1,800 pupils between tho ago of 4 and 20 years. Tho total enroll ment for tho high school for tho cur rent year will ruach, if not oxcoec', 300. This is duo to tho fact thnt utmost 100 per cent of Medford's eighth grado pupils contlnuo their schooling by entering the high school. Tho best and most energetic pupils from tho outlying districts chooo our high school on account of tho varied courses and excellent advan tages offered In tho special depart nients. This gives the school n hlx'i Intellectual as well as moral tone. The instructors are above tho avr ago in exporlenco and qualification!.. In conclusion tho board of direct ors devote no small amount of thulr tlmo In giving to tho school children )of Mmlford pleasant suiroiiudiugi, ' mid a varied course of study, thus encouraging love of work, Industry, concentration nnd accuracy. I have found goats very profitable, requiring little attontlou and a val uable adjunct to any farm. The uvorago yield of mohair from wethers has been seven pounds, which I sold this year nt .15 cents a pound $2.25 per head. Tho entlro flock, Including does and kids has averaged $1.2S per head In mohair. Tho average profit from every doo fpr Boven years, has been $4.00, In cluding mohair and kid. I hnvo averaged 300 head of goats for coven years and fed In the entire tlmo loss thau a ton of hay the goats proving hardy rangers. Each year I tako flvo acres of my poorest soil, corral tho goats for sor ural mouths upon It, and the next Jackhon county's annual road levy Is : mills on u valuation of $38,000, 000, giving over 1100,000 a year for road construction. In uddltlon tho moro progroeMvo districts voto un annual levy for local work. per year ralso threo tons of oat hay acre. Tho goats are building up tho farm, clearing all brush, fertilizing tho land, There Is n steady sale for goat meat at 3.2S per head, after taking off ?2.25 In mohair. This year I will reallzo over $1000 off 400 gouts. My expenses are only what It costs to keep myself nnd dogs with which I enjoy lifo by hunt ing coyotes, wildcats and varmints. JAMES KEIISHAW. Antelope, Ore,, Dec, 24, SHIPPED AT TALENT The Uaglcy Canning company nt Talent complotcd their second season with the ending of 1913. Early In the summer tho floor space of tho In stitution was doubled and additions to tho equipment greatly increased the capacity over the previous season. Every section of the valley con tributed to tho produce used nnd In stances were not unusual whero the cannery afforded tho first market which certain of tho fruits had found. An idea of the output this year can bo obtained from the following fig ures. Thoro were 252,200 quarts of fruit and vegetables of all kinds canned which, when cased, weigh 592,000 pounds. This amount ould make fourteen cars of 40,000 each. Tho quality of the different grades of these products havo stood tho market test of comparison and havo sold to the host wholesalers and re ceived their best brands. Tho activities of this company whlch were limited this season to canning plums, pears, peaches, ap ples, tomatoes, beans and pumpkin am expected to includo berries and cherries next season. 1'uro applo elder vinegar Is another product which has been produced in quantity this yoar. This has met an appreciative market and will prob ably supply the entire local demand very shortly. Tomato catsup was manufactured and placod on tho market this fall and 13 taking well with tho trade. This was placed In packages suitable to the largo users of catsup. .Marketing conditions havo ma terially improved this season und the labor problem was sohud by a tent cump and exodus of workers from tho valley and Northern Call-! fomla points, j Medford Is rapidly becoming n city of beautiful homes. With tho growth of tho city tins conic a great Improve ment In architectural design nnd finish.
