It ahould ho ao unanimous that the people from elaewhere will again see that the Medfonl spirit haa ontv been dormant anil haa again revived. The sum to be voted couriering what It will mean to our cltv la a mere bag tell. I claim that If the city ahould lose every cent of thn three liniiilrml lliuiiaand dollar whlrh under the stipulation with Mr. Iliillls or hla surcosaor Is hard!) poa alhle, that the city wotilil be the gain er In the onil. Many Instances of localltlca en lieclally near mining districts whlrh wore hut struggling villages became cities of trnportanco on the advent of proper transportation to such dis tricts. For example), I iim(e ilieatate of Montana ami Its wonderful growth. Arriving there, In the year 1N"!I, when that state was wild and wool.v, at that time Ita population, Including the Indians on tho several reserva tions, was 10, lino; thou the lien rim I railroad from Halt Lake City, tlio nar row guage I'lah Northern, hail Its terminus at lilarkfool City, Iilnlio. the Northern I'aclflc railroad hail Its terminus at lllsmark, Dakota, alt transKirtalfou to the Interior of that state waa done by Mage lines anil the hauling by ox and mule power. In the itar isx:i, Sept, M, the for mal openhiR of the Northern Pacific railroad was celebrated by the (lol deu Hplke driving at IndepeHilenee Creek, Montana, when both links from Cortland, Oregon, anil 81.

At that lime the population of that state waa eatlmateil at : 1,000; today Montane, haa three trana-coiitliiental rallroaila with 111 branchea and many short line rallroaila and hoaele a popula tion of over nnii.nnii, of which ill least 7 1) percent la due to Ita enterivrlNliig citlaena In hooallHR for trauaporta- tlon Theae rallroaila brought about many euterprlaea, mwer plant", Im mense smellers In ninny of their clt lea, large Increase In agricultural pur suite, government projects flour and aaw mills, logging enterprises, etc.. and toda she Is one of the most pros perous states in the union, all due to transportation facilities. All iimm! ihlngs are grown in south. em Oregon and tho opening of the mines near our southern border of the rich stste of California will place OreRon In the same category that the young slate of Montana lus reached. I say that If we should lose every cent of the sum hich wo urc to vote for, the tit) onuld be the gainer. I predict that In not later than sUtv days. If the amendment Is carried and the nrk begun, that there will be an Inriux of one thousand or morn new people In and around our rt, many will h prosiectore and miners, everyone of thm will need Ills pick and hovel, gold pn and hern: he will need bacon and flour, clothing and blankets, park horses, tents, camp stoves, and what net: all of these articles a lit be purchased from our merchants, every mechanic and lalatrer now working for lessor wage and one half time will double his in come, which must and will lu the re. suit.

Tr.e chlof nddrom was given by Professor IMmund S. Conklln, of tho University of Oregon. The subject of his address was "The School and tho School DoniMnd." Professor Conklln's address was considerably dlfforent from theordlnnry stereo typed affair. Krom the first word uttered, to the flii;il sentence, he huld his audience spoil-bound. He omphualzod tho tho gieat responsibility the school was assuming and urged hearty co operation front nil sources.

May 10, In a grand concert to be given on that date In the Page llionter. This event will be of more than ordinary Importance, as It will mark the first organized effort along choral lines to develop the musical talent of southern Oregon. This society has a short but Inter esting history, bavins; been organized only a little over three months. It already has the earmarks of stability and permanence. It was not or ganized into being, It came Into be ing and was organized wiion there was no help for It, which fact Is the best guarantoe that It hns come to stay. Weekly rehearsals bavo beon hold recently In the Prosbylorlnn church, and tho Interest manifested and tho nuin'ber present from week to week has been n continued nugury of success. Tho work covered In recent rehoarsals has beon Oounod'a Mass St. Cecelia, In Latin, and a variety of choruses of IiIkIi musical and classical merit, which, together with n miscellaneous program, will con stitute the forthcoming concert de but. Tho chorus numbers closo on seventy members', and following the concert is likely to ho considerably augmented. Almost without exception the mem bers have received vocal training and many have studied for years and bavo beon Identified with similar or ganizations, so that tho society may be fairly entitled to rank high ns a musical aggregation and should for years to come be an assot In tho so cial and educational life of tho com munity. It Is expected that the pub lic support In the forthcoming con cert will prove that ltogue river vnlley appreciates the value In tho life of the community of sur-li an organized so- j clety and endorses to the full tho of- I fort so mnile to ralso tho, tone of community life and to provldo a means for tho discover) and develop-' mont of musical ability. Tho aim of . the society Includes the formation of . a musical library, which will be avail able to all students of music and which ought to be a wiluablo addition to the nullities provided In the com-, mi'iilt. foi educational advancement i , MedlOrd HOUSC MOVCrS ' ,,.
