ford Chamber of Commerce.
Dear Mr. Frobach: I am just in re
ceipt of the announcement of your con
vention to devise ways and means for
protecting the scenic attractions of
Jackson comity. I think you are doing
a wonderful work, and surely you are
on the right track when you enlist the
support ami cooperation of the citizens
of Jackson county generally In such
work. '
Our people are just waking up to the
fact that the scenic assets of Oregon
can be made to produce tremendous
dividends for Oregon with tho invest
ment of comparatively little money.
Your own wonderful county bus so
much to offer the world, that it would
not at all surprise me. If the people
Ojf Jackson will back you up, that in a
lew years you will be enriched as
much from tourist travel as you now
are from your pear crop and at far
point. ' Dr. Kaufman proved by statis
tics that a hawk was of more value to'! less expense.
a farmer than" a cow, and refuted the Wish I could be with you. i
allegation that birds are carriers of, luck in this fine undertaking.

THE meat peddler of the old days, who.kllled
his own live stock and then sold the meet from
the tail of a cart, is gone from our larger towns
and cities, He was a pioneer and did good service
but he couldn't keep np with his job. Crude
methedi had to give way to new ideas in sanita
tion and'dlstribution.- . ''
. . Concentration of population drove the peddler
and his wagon out and brought the modern pack'
ing industry and the neighborhood-retailer in hi
place.
And the modern packing business means this:
: That near the farms and ranches, the centers
of live stock production, aro packing plants that
assemble . and manufacture the meat products
you uie.

That swift and sanitary refrigerator Cars carry
your meat from these packing plants to every
part of the country. i
Dealer In towns and villages are supplied
directly and regularly from these refrigerator care,
And in cities the refrigerator car is unloaded
into branch houses, chilled and sanitary, from,
. which deliveries are made to your meat shop.
And all the time the meat ia kept so chilled that
deterioration ia prevented.
Swift St Company's plants and branches are
co-ordinated, interchanging supply and support
ing each other, when necesaary, ao that no section
of the country may ever lack its daily meat. v

MANAGE DRIVES
Another record-breaking atten
dance wuh recorded nt the Chamber
of Commerce forum luncheon at the
Medford Hotel yesterday. Coming as
it did Immediately following the
meeting held last week, which was
the second largest in the history of
forum lunches, it showed that the
subject under discussion was one in
which citizens were intensely inter
ested. What attitude should Medford citi
zens take on future demands for
funds? Mayor C. K. (lutes who pre
sided, made it very clear in the be
ginning that Medford was obligated
to certain charities of her own and
that demands were about to be made
upon the community for funds, which
In the name of humanity she cuuld
not very, well turn down.
Among those who were called upon
to express their opinion' were T. K.
Daniels, Frank V. Farrell, llev. Leach
und E. II. Hurd, who all expressed
themselves as being favorable to :i
community chest as the only solution
of tho question at 'issue, and which
would do away with a succession oi
drives and campaigns for funds. '
A recommendation was adopted,
which called for organizing ii Med
ford Community Chest with an execu- !
tive committee of from five to seven
members to bo appelated by C. K.
Gates as mayor and H. I. Walther as
president of the .Medford Chamber of
Commerce, which executive com mi t-
o would have complete charge of a
campaign for funds aud tho distribu
tion of sume for the year lUlM.
It will be tho first duty of this
executive committee to carefully con
sider all 'demands, which are to' he
made upon Medford citizens for funds
and after this has been decided, no
drives or campaigns calling for funds
for any purpose whatsoever will be
sanctioned.
For fear that Mayor dates and
President Walther will be too modest
to appoint themselves on this execu
tive committee, there was a unani
mous demand upon them that they
serve as members of tho committee.
Among the out of town guests were
Col.- W. H. Paine, retired, Samuel P.
Hand of Newton, Kansas, T. H. Ness
and Rev.' J. A. Smith of San Fran
cisco. James 15. and Mrs. Grieve of
Prospect nnd W. II. Kinney and
