In two months the UlL'l i)il);rimiij.'e will be in full M.j, . . edford as n tourist center Nature in her wisdom, has decreed otherwise. Ashland will always remain the tourist center of Jackson county; just as Medford will always remain I he commercial center.

It should be done now, for the ful ure. ' - . In our opinion a lare investment by the city, at the present time is neither necessary nor wise.

And then he.''ll talk of Jjinpsoii's Soap and gvv it quite a blurb, and ihroiifh the language he will rope for adjectives superb. "The Brothers tioosh," I make reply, "have advertised for years; their soap is made from wholesome lye, and fat from moral steers. .They've built a national renown for making sonp vt worth' ; they wouldn't let its fame go down for anythiiifr on earth.

The crookedness Is found to be in tho isthmus which runs predomi nantly cast and west instead of north nnd south, and in addition makes a double curve like the letter S. so that at one place tho Atlantic waters are actually west of those of the Pacific.

Geographically It l,K a nart 01 t-entrai America, out it . haa Deen left ollt ofthe rtePntiT rorm. ed Union of Central America.
