Much discussion followed tho re

Messrs. Ilullln nnd Iteddy outlined
their proposals In detail, Dr. Iteddy
declaring Hint unless tho llluo LcdKo
initio operated, (hero wan no uso to
fool with the railroad nnd that tho
band Ibhuo must bo a virtual oubsldy
to bo of material assistance. Mr.
llullli hold that tho timber nnd other
resources of tho dlMtrlct tapped woro
nurriclently Brent to wnrrnnt tho
railroad oven without tho mlno.
"I wouldn't nsk n cont" said Mr.
DuIIIh If I had tho money nvallablo,
nnd I don't want to urgo tho city of
Medford ono wny or tho other. Hut I
linvo had many years experience In
building railroads, nnd 1 know some
thing nliout building n timber rond.
It ban been my cxporlcnco that when
n short road Uko this in constructed
It always helps the community oven
moro than It tloos tho builder of tho
railroad. I nm willing to build such
n rond for I belluvo It In r good busi
ness propoRltlon nnd would pny mo,
but I believe also It would pny tho
pooplo of Medford moro. When 1
built a railroad like this In Jackson,
Mississippi It wnH n plarjj of 8000
people. Aftor tho road wan built It
sprang Into n place of 20,000 peo

(leutlemen: The proposnl mndo by
ou lit ro building a railroad to tho

S. Jackson oounty rebuilding
such portion or tho upper Applegate
road as may bo agreed upon.
4. Tho Southern Pacific's leasing
thirty miles ol rails. ,
f. The Hluo l.edgu mine furnish
ing assurances for continuous opera
tions. Wo feel that a railroad to tho IIIuo
I.edgo mining district Is a community
life-saver and universally desired. Wo
reel tlmt the eltUeus or .Medford aio
anxious to cooperate with jou In
every way possible. Hut. as tho city
Indobleduese already totals 11,800,
000, wo fori that your proposal puts
tho "Cart berore the horse" that Is,
that the other contingencies should

ing bonds Is put before the people
To noeompllsh this, we i willing
mid siuluus to cooperate with you.
With those prellutlMMrleh realised.
there Is little question of favorable
action by the people.
It will lake 20 days from nctlun by
the council to eall the'ueeesMMry elec

for the Issuance of the bonds. It
will be necessary to work out some
plan whereby the credit of tho cltv

ufo-guarded.
It will be necessary to know just
what Is wanted from the county be
fore attempting to secure it. It will
bo neeossary to loam what assistance

A Great National
Public Utility
That concerns all merchants
and all people
THE original Cash Register rang a bell, indicated and
recorded the amount of the purchase. It benefited the
merchant only.
In a third of a century this old model has developed into
a Cash Register that directly benefits every man, woman
and child who spends money in a store.
This new Cash Register equally concerns every mer
chant and clerk, every banker and wholesaler in this land.
It furnishes every customer with a receipt or sales slip.
It prints on this the amount paid or charged.
On this is also printed the date of the sale and who
made it.
It forces a duplicate, printed record for the merchant.
It prevents disputes over charges and bills paid.
It saves shoppers' time.
It gives the merchant all his profits. It gives him more
money for his family. , .
It promotes more and quicker sales.
It protects each clerk against making errors and
against the mistakes of others.
It rewards the diligent clerk by telling his employer
which one makes the largest number of sales and which
one gets the greatest amount of business.
It assures the banker additional security for the money
he loans the merchant.
It gives the wholesaler additional assurance that the
merchant will have money to pay his bills.
It furnishes the banker and the wholesaler mechanical
evidence that the merchant's statement of his business is
correct.
It is a business necessity.
