Thn more that corny tho morn there aro who wish to rome tho more money - the more hotels thn more local demand for our homo produce. Tourist bring money with them: they do not come to make money; they come to spend It. Compare the cllnikto and natural uttrtutlon of Southern California, If you plcafe. with those of Southern Orignn nnd you will be surprised to find how great tho balance Is In our favor Itoguo Ither Heats All For tho man who hns to llyo lu thn same house twolwt month lu the year Southern California can boast uo spot that will compare with the Itoguo rher tulloy tor comfort. One able to iiinlr.talu a home immediately on the oc-ati bench In summer and ono at Itedlandu, Itheruldo or l'usa dena In winter, may find as much comfort thcro as here, but wo cunnot find it on the beach In winter or back rrom the beach In Hummer. The only rerson Southern Califor nia is the tourist Mecca Instead of Southern Oregon Is that It has In tensely developed ltn every resource and capitalized them, while mobt ol our hare been neglected. There, whst uature rails to do, men do by rt, here, where nature Is most lavldh wo have most neglected. Had Southern California such an attraction as our Crator Lake but ninety miles from the center of population- think you It would havo been left Isolated ror fifty years with lt wonder unknown No thoso peo ple long ago would have constructed a paved highway to It. They would hove bound it to themselvcH wltli bands of steel, and electric power, nt whatever cost, and tho world would bo now talking Its grandeur.

Friend. I thank you. C. K. Wlililcr's Talk Wo are to have next fall the meet ing of tho Stato Horticultural society In Medford.

Wo wont to do nil wo can to strengthen this state organization und make tho meeting tho best In the history of iho organi zation, W. I. Viiviior on Oonditliui The best thing tuut can be e;ild about tho fruit industry Is tho high class of citizenship it has brought to tho valley the splendid young won who hnvo come to make their way In this district. For the last threo or four years tho bankers ot the mlddlo west hnvo dono all they could to dis credit tho fruit industry. Hetwcon now nnd 1020 we must produce 10. 000 cars of fruit and tho question ot distribution will confront ua. This marketing problem must bo solved. Tho day or speculation has passed. Tho value- or orchards has como down to a biiHlnesB llko basis. Tho fruit business la good. It Btiould not bo mlBreirusoutod. Wo cnu tell tho truth, -and I cunmdvr It n rnlstako whunuvur the nice or land or fruit aro nilr.rcpreentd. Dr. Win.

Kruit nicked ut nny tlrno by 0llr fr n(jUglry H to t, otlr om'condltioim In Medford j vorat)Io ,0 anU moUture conditions. Ah a natural accompaniment or this wo must have a cannery. The cannery assures tho orclm-d man a doubly market for IiIh fruit. It also pcrmltH him to ralie a variety of fruit, because a cannery makes a lout; shipment posslblo. This Is a rtrr bent on tbo market. A promln- ent fruit man said this year ho would make a contract for 10 yearn at $100 a ton for Itoal Anne cherries. Kvory orchard In th valley should have Its cherry trees ror It aids In polllnlzlns and Is a paying crop. The cherry ban been neglected, the apricot has also been neglected. We grow a prach here which 's unexcelled anywhere. I believe It Is superior to anything srown In Cali fornia. Thn peach as an orchard ni ter is a valuable asset In this valley. The Rogue river pear xcels any thing In the world and canned pears, will achieve the sarao reputation. Hut I think the main by-product of tho orchard should be tkt bog fed on cull apples. I l ueueve ina canning iiiuumry ia this valley Is here to stay and ban a great possibility. All I wish now Is n greater home consumption tor those products which we can't get out of the valley profitably. Wlicn we get together this will come through co operation. Dunbar Corpatrr on Charters What I say has no bearing on your present situation. If jrou draw any morals on my generalization It la your moralizing not my ctturtlon. When the water devastated Galves ton a new form of city government arose to moot that crisis. Tho city appointed five of thu ablest business men to tako orar tho business of tbo city, and tiny made such a success that tho system was permanently adopted. Since then over 300 cities havo adopted this system. Mst year Dayton, Ohio, was devastated and tho regularly elected officials woro un able to cope with tho situation, so they followed Galveston's cxamplo but with some interesting alterations. They chore a commission which In turn cbo a city manager to take thf, r0pujaco. So they left this to the commission.
