(Siwicd.) (irs xnvnritY. C.E. To the People- Are )ou going to le Indifferent about the proposed railroad to ttio Hint) Ledge mine? Just atop and eoinlder for a, moment what thin road would mean to Medford. Kor yeara wo have heard the cry that all tills town needs to renew the old-time prosperity Is a road to the lllue Lodge. IHiubtless some of you re womber hat effect It had upon the town when the mines were in opera tion a few jeara ago. Mr. Hullla a Braes to put several hundred men to work Immediately to build the road. Mr. Towne, owner of tho lllue Lodge mine, guarantees to mine and flhlp at least ISO tone of ore per day, benlnnliiK Immediately upon the completion of the road. Thla would mean several hundred more wen em ployed. Uesldea this there are a number of other mines In the same district that are only awaiting for transportation to be developed and "commence shipment. Sulphur in large quantities Is to be Had and the re fuse from these mines is Ideal as a fertiliser. Numerous other prod ucts can be mined and shipped suu eessfully. Timber of the very best quality is awaiting transportation to Mills. Without a doubt large lumber mills -would be established In Med ford at once. How shall we get all this Answer: A road to the Hlue Ledge mine. What Is lUypiiml of Mcdfortl, Man Its credit to Mr. Dullls to the extent of 1300,000 In other werds: Vote a bond Issue of $300,000. The proceeds to be used lu building a railroad toward the Hlue Ledge as far as this amount will build. Mr Hullls is agreeing to build the rent of the road himself. lie also agrees to lease the city's part of the road for g sufficient amount to pay all interna on the bonds, taxes, insurance, and. la fact, all expenses connected then - with. 80 that Medford will not ' ( called upon to par additional tar-j to take care of the Interest and oth. r spenaos. Mr. Bullls also agree-, 1? the end of five years to bay the r . 1 for 1300.000, payable In equal w..r Ijr psjments. Where can Medfui 1 )te?

Mat .' ;. 1 '. 1 fi C U cTJ-3 IASH ANSWERS MEDYNSK RAILROAD To the Kdltor I was surprised to rea'd former councilman Mr F. McdynskTa arti cle expressing his views regarding the bonding of a railroad for the city of Medford for the purposo of de veloping the country adjacent to this city which lends to the lllue Lodge mines. The Pacific & Eastern railroad is not a iMtying proposition simply he- cause such men as ho, who aio sup posed to have the capital and the Interest and the welfare of tho com munity at heart are so short sight ed as not to know that while tho railroad Is In operation, and tho fa calltles for making It a paying prop osltlon aro on hand, the) do not take advantage or them, and manufacture and utilize the timber, whereby the railroad would derive a rovonuo suf ficient to pay the operating expenses. Hoes Mr. Medynskl expect the rail road company to go Into tho lumber business? Why does he not take a chance with other men llko him who have tho capital and build snwnillls? Then the railroad would pay. Mr. Medynskl talks about tho own ers or the Illuo Ledge building a rail road. I would ask him whether tho "Hohtall" mine, which has been op erating for sixty years in Central City, Colorado, built their railroad' .Vol Hut when the railroad was built the mines or Hlackhnwk, Novadavllle and Idaho Springs wero opened up and were reeders for this road. When Stratton struck tho Inde pendence and Cold Hill, now Orlpplo Creek, there was 110 railroad, and tho mining company did not build It. When Tabor struck the Little Pitts burg In California Uulch at Loudvlllo thoro was no railroad there. Did tho mining company build that road? No. When the mines wero struck at Silver Cliff. Querldn and Hoseta tho railroad went as far as Canyon City, but whon those mlnos wero struck the railroad was extended to Silver Cliff, and not dono by tho mining company. iDid tho mining companies build the road from Tekoa to the Coour d'Alonos, which tapped tho mines of Wardner. Wallace, Hurke and Mul len? Did the mining companies build th road to Murray, Idaho? No! Did the mining companies build the toad rrom Spokane to ltosslaud. which tapped tho mines of Hritlsh Columbia? No! The only mining companies that I know of that ever built their own railroad were the Quggenhelms on the big copper properties In Alaska, and they built a line to tho coast, and had no other road to pay toll to. It seems to me that If Mr. Medyn skl would stop to think he would come to the conclusion that were It not for the fact that the Hlue 1edge mine was developed that hla Income fiom the realty he owns In this city would not bo one-quarter of what It has been, and even If he had to pay his pro rata of the Interest on the bonds that the olty of Mwlford would have to pay, which I am sine will not be the case. It would not be 5 per cent of the monetnrv benefits he has already received In Income through the development of the Hlue Ledge. Were It not for the operation during the course of the opening of this mine, the city of Medford today would not b much larger than the adja cent town of Central Point. Some twenty-five years ago two ft lends of mine, named Cleorge Hoggs, former city treasurer of Tacoma and Judge W. II. Heed, of the same place, came to this country with a view of Investing, and on their re turn they reported that while the country was rich la resources, the natives refused to glvo them any In formation, and In fact discouraged them from being Interested In the country, as they seemed to be afraid they would take something from them and they left here disgusted. As far as I am peraonally concerned I wag encouraged to become financially In terested la this section through rep resentations made to roe by Dr J.

COCA COLA ORDERED CONFISCATED AS UNFIT NASniXOTON, Mnv 22.- -The su preme couit today reversed the Ten nessee federal courts which refused to confiscate, on petition of the gov ernment, forty barrels of coca cola a minting the federal pure food law, and sent the ca-e back for presenta tion to a jury to determine whether caffeine contained 111 coca cola is 111 pirious to health. 5! .rvts"- ' u U This is the exact sue jnd shape of the finest cigar that comes from Cuba. It sells at 50c each. This in the exact sue nnd shape of another Havana cigar, utmost as fine, that sells for 30c each. The mnkers of the highest-priced cigars men who receive as much 11s 50 cents for a single cigar favor the square-end shape. Why? Because the square -end shape yields the highest percentage of smooth -burning, satisfying smokes to the smoker -thut is why we mako tho OWL in the square end shape. J3xfcThe Midi mm M A. GUNST A CO.
