I find Jdenty of amohu and apparently of good iiunllty." A Prominent IValuro (From Jollot, III., Ilornlil-TlniCH) "Tho charm of a perfect Juno ovon liiR, with tho odor of rosea In tho air and a cloudless aky, added tho final nolo of exquisite harmony to tho np polntniontH of a nweotly simple, wod dliiR Insjt nlKht at draco M. K, church which united In tho holy hondts of ninrrlngo, Miss Kdna Nichols and Til IC future will he the electrical ago. IDleclrieity will before long supplant si cam for power and coal and wood as fuel. The hulk, of this electricity must conic from water power now wasted in our mountain streams. The great hulk of this power has heen already cornered by private companies and consolidated by power monop olies. Much of it, however, still nngmbbed, exists in the national forest reserves'. Hence the efforts now put forth to grab lower for future uses power that cannot be util ized for many years for lack of a market. The power conference now in session at Portland, called by the same influences that fathered the "midnight resolution" favoring the railroad in the Oregon-California land grant contest, is scheduled to protest the Ferris bill, fathered by Secretary of the Interior Lane. The reaction ary element that predominates in the conference does not seek the development of these power sites, but the crab bing of them for speculative purposes, unrestrained by re strictions upon development or toil lor their use. The Ferris bill provides for the lease of the powe from the government for a period of fifty years, the lessee to pay an annual rental for the use of the premises, calculated upon the basis of power developed and sold, the govern ment reserving the right at the end of the fifty years to take over tho property at a fair valuation, not including anything on account of rights in lands or water rights, the rates and capitalization to be subject to federal regulation; one-half of the rentals derived from leases to go to the state school fund and the other half to the reclamation fund. There is no reason why the people should present spec ulators or the power trust Avith these natural resources. There is no reason whv a legitimate return should not he made for the use of these resources. To allow private greed to seize them, as in the past, creates a lopsided pros perity that spells industrial unrest and disaster. That is the great trouble with the United States today private monopoly of natural resources. It is not a question of state rights state rights quib bles are merely a bogey raised for the occasion. Nor is it a question of development, any more than the speculative holdings of the timber barons. It is merely a question of grab, and back of it all is the sinister hand of the power trust.

There is no use in securing new enterprises if we fail to patronize tliein alter they are secured. After many years of idleness, the Medford flour luifts have been reopened and are producing a first-class jrO(Iuct. Why not buy it? Why send money away that we need at homeV The flour produced is equal in quality to 'the im ported product and furnishes a home market for om farm ers and a local payroll. "We have in Medford a cannery that produces firs-nlass products. No superior article can be bought on thei mar ket. Tt furnishes work for many people.

Our isolation renders il imperative that we huild up mine industries to utilize our products and furnish work 'or our people. If we cannot contribute the capital, we can tho patronage. Not real estate speculation, not laud inflation, but in dustry and industries is the need of the valley.

The Klks' temple is cliaracteristic of the enterprise and progrcssivencss of the local lodge. Built despite hard times, ii reflects the Medford hpirit a credit both to the order and the city. No finer club house exists in any city, regardless of sixe.

REDISCOUNT RATES (COUNTED MORE VOTES FOR RESERVE BANK THAN BALLOTS CAST To Tho Kdller: After reading Mr. SnrRont'a nrtlclo In tlio paper, wo nollro his gympathy Is deep for the pooplo who will hnvo to pay twelve and a half mills on pnvlng IioihIh nftor tho city is ro bonded. Wo wonder If ho can find n mmill placo in his own heart for tho people who ho claims nro In debt to tho city $800 or $1000 dmwlng six per cont Interest, or some whoihavo $30Qo on a $1C00 placo whero tjio'r Interest Is $180 per year for JriJt pavlnR. I noiiRiit n Jiomo on what was called a Bldrftitrcot (lleatty St.). I wouIiyiiot buy on Central whero ex jpnSca wero llkojy to bo lilgli. They canio to mo with n petition for pav lnR our atreet and I Raid no I would not fllgn It, that 1 was not ahlo to pay for paving. My valuation at that tlmo wiih $1500 and tho paving was $10Cr.. I did not need tho paving. I havo no car; no horno; not nven a blcyclo and noL n child to iond to school. 1 can clto you to an old lady on Central who owns two small house, valuation at $1000 and pav lug about $S00 at six per coot for tho past flvo cars. Sho Is sixty nlno yearn of ago has worked out In tho country by tho month to help hor sol out. Do you call that Jl'STICIj to try to mnko hur boliovo that tho city could tako hor homo? Sho did not li;n tho petition; sho knew sho was not nblo to pay tho bill and did not need tho pavement. Plcaso stop and think how much Iokh this burden would bo If all who use this pavo ment sould help pay. If spread on tho tax roll It would como gradual ouch year In shapo for people to handlo luvtoad of the heavy burden that many people can not lift. Ono man said ton mill school tax nearly took hU breath, l think he must bao had a very short breath, for 1 have paid thirty mill school tax In Dakota and It did not tnko iu broath either, but whoa they itald I was In debt to tho city $loi;r at six per cont($C3) intorosl ovory year be Hides my ten mill school tnx and all other tax equal with other tnx pay ern, then I do think I had reasons to gasp for breath 1 do not semi a child to mIiooI, et I nut taxed ten mills the Mine ns thoho who head five One man hpke of p.iIng a debt on our chlldnn Would (I not be hotter for mo to leavo my homo to my boy with a twelve and a halt mill tnx than to Icavo It with an assess nicnt of 70 per cent of my valuation drawing six per cent Interest? This debt is not an honest debt of initio. It is a city debt. Tho strcot belongs to tho city and If I should set nn npplo. box on tho pave ment how quietly tho city officers would toll mo to tnko It off. Tho pcoplo in tho western part of this county do not uso tho Pacific highway, yet they nro taxed for It Then you call It Injustlco for tho pco plo off tho pavement In Medford to help for paving when they uso it ovory day. If tho state law will not let tho city voto only a certain per cent on tho city, what law will fet you put a debt on Its citizens for nioro than his valuation. Were tho bonds voted on?
