If It were the policy of the Med
ford public market to advertise, the
foregoing might appear in the papers
of this section in almost every issue
of tho year.
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday
of each week during tins year the
Medford housewives thiong to the
public market buiiding on South Riv
erside. To early comers is given the
opportunity of buying the products
of tho farm, fresh aud appetizing at
ittractivo prices. Hut many are dis
appointed for many of tho landhold
ers fail to seo tho opportunity for
money making within their grasp
and as a result each year a large pro
portion of the potatoes, onions aud
vegetables consumed in Medford and
vicinity are grown in California.
Kspecially Is there a need for the
production of early garden truck to
be placed upon the market before the
month of May. Again thero is a
heavy demand for tho later products
lo bo offered for sale after the mid
dle of September.
l-'orelgn CuMomers
Medford housewives alone do not
constitute the limit of the market for
warden products which may be sold
through the. public market. Three
times during the past season Mr. Mc-
Cloud, head of the McCIoud Milling
Co., lias come to K. .1. Itunyard, mar
ket master, and endeavored to ar
range for the buying of supplies for
the IUU0 men employed in the com
pany's camps and mills. Tho filling
of one such rontraet would mean tak
ing the entire production of a whole
colony of "little hinders'1 at fancy
prices.
It has been pusested many times
that Medford, through her public
market be made a selling center for
garden produce but these suggestions
have always been met with the same
answedr. "It cannot be done now. We
have not enough to supply even our!
housewives.''
In peaches alone is Medford enter
ing the markets of Oregon and Wash
ington in direct to the consumer sell
ing. In one month SO0O boxes of
peaches wero sold. In addition to
supplying the home market, this fruit
was shipped to consumers all the way
from Portland, Ore., to Los Angeles,
Cal. riliniately, it is hoped through
increased production to widen the
market and take in a variety of pro
duets. Demand for rotator.
The demand for potatoes is espec
ially heavy. The market master re
counts numerous instances during the
jpast month v hen wagons loaded with
irhen up to the mar-
NSMI
ket buildings and the entire load
was bought before a sack could be tin
loaded and taken intw the building.

(ienth'iiien : Keplying to your let
ter of the 2!lth tilt., 1 will say, that
while I am perfectly familiar with
what is termed the ''Hanson 1'lau," 1
deny (hat I am the nut hot' of the same
or that it was launched with my ad
vice or approval.
However, as t have been a paid
servant of the city in the capacity of
city attorney for the past four years.
I do not see how I can decline your
rcquot or fail lo accept your chal
lenge ; and while I have hitherto
refrained from expres-iug my views
upon the "Hanson l'lan," I am will
ing lo do so. and therefore consent
to be present on the date fixed by you
tor that purpose.

touring cars frequently draw up to
the market building at tho first opeu
ing of the market. Enough melons
and peaches are purchased to fill the
ear to capacity and the driver pulls
out for Klamath falls or sonic point
in eastern Oregon. Were production
heavier Medford might easily supply
the eastern Oregon trade with heavy
profits to the farmers of this section.
A heavy frost in tho spring as ber
ries were coming into bearing and
another In the Tall as the grapes were
ripening cut down the amount of pro
duce during the past season. In spite
of these handicaps every one of the
23 booths was taken and a good va
riety shown. The only iiiawijuck lay
in the fact that there was not enough
to go around.
Well Patronized.
The people of Medford have pat
ronized the market during the past,
its fifth year wonderfully well and to
them the market master extends
thanks, lie feels that in the future
they will continue their patronage
and it is his desire to impress upon
tho landholders the necessity' for
them lo also patronize the market, to
help themselves by increasing their
production aud bringing their pro
ducts to the market for sale.
Some farmers have been under a
handicap in raising garden truck be
cause of a lack of moisture but with
the coming of general use of irriga
tion tins problem will be solved and
the dream of Medford as a marketing
center will come true.

At the end of four days he

"I'll die if I can't get a taste of roast

Five minutes later: "Steward, I'd
like a hot roast beef sandwich and a

He fainted! "Why, sah, this eight

FAMOUS DRAMA COMING HERE AS SCREEN
PLAY WITH NOTED STAR
"The I'nwTitten Law," coming Wednesday to the Paso, Is a seven
part photo drama adapted from Edwin Milton Koylc's staRO success
of the same title. In it the California Motio n Picture Corporation
has achieved tho masterpiece of its producing activities. Tho story
is wholesome and hiR, and develops thru breathless suspense to one
of the most thrilling climaxes ever attained In motion picture art. An
advance synopsis of it here Is Inadvisable, and would detract from
one's later pleasure in seeing it. since much olthe Interest of the de
velopment of the pot on tho screen hanRs on a thread of mystery and
surprise that is spun out, with clever producing touches, to the very
end of the story.
If It were necessary to pick the outstandinR feature from the many
elements of Kreatncss that thh production embodies. It would unhes
itatingly be the emotional power of Beatrix .Michelena's acting. Miss
Michaelena's Impersonation of Kate Wilson in this picture Is her
greatest achievement since forsaking opera for the screen. Every
critic who has reviewed the film has declared htr work a marvel both
in power and finish.
