TO MEDFORD 'S WIZARD OP WINGED WORDS.
SEVERAL years ago Medford made n wager. It was a good wnger
nnd as far as we know was never lost, briefly it placed a good
sized bet that Medford, within a radius of fifty miles, had more natu
ral resources than any other district in the country.
Recently another natural resource has been added to the Medford
district which was never imagined in those boom-town days. It justi
fies that wajrer's revival.
For Medford iu 1021 produced the best short story written in
America by an American, "The Heart of Little Shikara," by our fel
low townsman, Edison Marshall.
Comparisons are "odorous." and yet wo hazard the prediction
that "Medford 's whining the sweepstakes in American literature
against all-comers will benefit this district, 'as far as favorable pub
licity is concerned, quite as much as the victory at the Spokane Apple
show several years ago or the recent victory at the Salem State Fair.
There are thousands of incipient 0. Henry's in the middlwest and
east who will bear of Medford. Oregon for the first time. Just imag
ine, they will soliliquir.e, the literary center fifty years ago was in
Roston, then it passed to New York, then to Chieago and now it jumps
across the Mississippi and Rocky Mountains to Medford, Oregon.

THE QUIET VILLAGE.
IN PRUNEVILLE, when the clocks strike nine, the lights go out
along the line, the streets are dark and bare; and moral citi
zens, at that wind up the clock, turn out the eat and to the hay re
pair. At times the citizens will go to see a helpful movie show
that some great truth expounds, or when a lecturer arrives to
brighten up their quiet lives with hoarse but earnest sounds. But
breaks like these are far between; the voters are but seldom seen
away from home at night; no lights arc shining in their homes,
but harmless dreams pervade their domes, whore they arc sleeping
tight. If you remark their lives are tame they'll tell you of a
checker game that lasted seven years, with final honors yet to
win and they can't see why you should grin, nor understand
your sneers. Gay alecks from the crowded marts stop there for
gas to run their carts, and gaze with high disdain; to live in such
a burg, they've said, when there are towns that are not dead, is
neither safe nor sane. But Pruneville people in their way, seem
cheerful, jubilant and gay, despite the city's jeers; in their old
age they're hale and' spry, they laugh and sleep and seldom die at
least at less than five wore years.
