country, that have, tlul wonderful locu
tion, the entiltahlo: climate and the
nntural advantages of Medford and
this section of tho state of Oregon.
"During the few days 1 have been
in this city I have been impressed
with tho civic spirit .that prevails in
Medford, and particularly with the
constructive work Hint Is being done
by your Chamber of Commerce to
herald the advantages of this section
to the world. The data at tho com
