LARGEST IN STATE
Six hundred ana thirty-eight citi
sena of the Rogue River valley are
now members of the Medford chamber
of commerce and before the campaign
Is officially over it is estimated that
more than Beven hundred citizens of
southern Oregon will get in on Use
, band wagon, . '
i. Practically every district of Jack-
rson county is represented in the mem
bership of the Medford chamber of
commerce and more rural residents
have become identified with the or
ganization than ever before. The ter
ritory covered by the memberships
begins from the Bolleview district
south of Ashland to the city of Bogue
River and from the Applegate vaiiey
to Prospect, so that the chamber be
comes a county-wide organization and
, not merely a Medford institution.
Those citizens who became mem
bers ol the chamber during the past
' , two years under agreement to pay $25
annually for dues will have their dues
' automatically reduced to $12.50 and
those who have already paid dues in
advance will be credited oa the $12,50
: annual basis. . . . .
. There are a good many citizens of
Jackson county who can be depended
upon to become members of the cham-
bar but who happened to be out of the
city during the membership campaign.
As soon as they return they will be
j . presented with an application blank
It so that the prospect of an increase of
members Is exceedingly bj-ight.
When the Medford chamber of com
merce has more than seven hundred
members enrolled tt will have the lar
gest membership of any chamber in
the state outside of Portland, The
two communities whieh have a larger
membership than Medford are Eugene
and Salem. To make this record it
wiil require the cooperative effort of
the present members to sign up those
who they know are financially inter
ested in the valley and who would be
directly benefited by an investment. In
the big movement planned to colonize
the unoccupied lands of the county.
