eral directors points to one of the
most active years in the , history of

11 and Chamber of Commerce, Mrs.
j-'uller and Prof. Irving Yinlng of

i purchasing and also of the thousands
of requests coming from people In the
1 east and middle west regarding Orc-

m Prof. -Irvin Vining delivered one of
7hls matchless addresses full of good
j sound logic and business sense and
i abounding with oratory and -wonder-j
ful word pictures of tho grandeur of
i Oregon and her prospects for the
future.
He told of his visit to the east a few
1 rmtiitliH niro and of the methods used
I in his addresses at Pittsburg, Pa., and
other places to interest people in tho
northwest and especially Oregon. In
stead of starting out, as they expect
ed, exploiting Oregon and boosting
the wonders of the west, he first told
of the beauties and grandeur of their
own country,' of the memories the
; people of the west have for the his
i toric places of early days, of Valley
; Forge, of Yorktown, of Gettysburg,
i and of the historic shrines of Phlla
I dclphia. He complimented them on
their wonderful highways and told
tbein they stretch out unttj they reach
the great out-of-doors of the west,
the virgin forests, beautiful streams,
fertile valleys,- snow-capped moun
tains and the ocean, to which the
people of the west invite them and
will be glad to extend a henrty greet
ing. 1
The speaker said what we need in
Jackson and Josephine counties in
order to realize on the irrigation proT
jects are more men who are willing to
work to develop the lands and not so
many people of wealth who come
here merely to make their homes.
The people here, he said, must assist
them in every way possible and must
vote and work for those things that
will develop all parts of the state and
' interest all people.
"At a recent banquet held in Ash
j land," snUt the speaker, "at which
! representatives were present from
1 different parts of Oregon and from
I California a high official of this state
1 made the statement that he had
J talked with a farmer in this vicinity
! who told him he was receiving $250
a year rent for his farm, and that he
was paying $:!60 taxes on the same.
This state official then said he asked
the farmer what the place was worth
nnd he said nothing; it was a liability.
A prospective land purchaser sitting
at the banquet table said to a friend
if tha,t represents your country I do
not Val e; to invest, and he did not.
How can you expect a country to suc
ceed under suoh conditions?" inquired
the spenker.
Mr. Vining pnid a high compliment
to the friendly feeling now existing
among southern Oregon people, and
to Kmil Mohr, the proprietor of Hotel
Medford, which he said is unexcelled.
Captain Ralph Cowglll told of the
coming1 encampment of the national
guard, of the Immensity of the propo
sition, and predicted a very successful
nffalr. He stated they have secured
60 head ;of riding horses nnd now

There Is much woe coming soon for
tho dogs of the city and their owners,
ns the city council at its meeting last
night with all members, tho mayor
and other administration officials
present unanimously decided not only
to enforce the dog license ordinance.
that has been a dead letter here for
years, but also to pass a new ordi
nance to be in effect June 1 forbid
ding all, dogs, whether or not licensed,
running at large during the summer,
in order to protect gardens and flow
er beds and also to reduce the mad
dog danger to a minimum.
The dog license ordinance which
goes into effect June 1 provides for a
$1 license for male dogs and $3 for
female dogs. The city government
will put on a dog catcher to round up
all homeless dogs not wearing tags.
Every dog owner must take out a
license, upon payment of which he
will be provided with a metal tag to
be worn on each licensed dog's collar.
These tags have already been sent for
by - the city and will be here within
the next two weeks.
The new ordinance to prohibit
licensed or other dogs t uning at large
during the summer, means that each
licensed dog must be tied up at home
during thut period. The city govern
ment's decision to enforce the dog
license ordinance nnd to pass the new
ordinance was brought about thru
many complaints made about dogs
ruining gardens and flower beds, nnd
the large number of homeless
other dogs running nt large.

That Medford is still increasing In
population Is the opinion of R. B.
Hammond, manager of the Home
Telephone & ' Telegraph company.
ThlH opinion is baed primarily on the
Increased number of new telephones
connected by his company during the
current year. Notwithstanding the
fact that new rates for telephone ser
vice were recently made effective, the
demand for service has materially in
creased. , ' . . t . ' ...
In the -year 1924 twenty more new
telephones were added than during
the previous year, and the Increase in
new telephones to rtute this year Is
more than 60 percent of the gain ex
perienced for the full year 1924. This
unusual development in business here
indicates greater prosperity for the
community and an increasing popula
tion for the county, says Mr. .Ham
mond. . , . . -

ger nnd the children saw the killing.
