Pacific highway in this slate was made by Mcdford and the first

This project was not instituted to benefit Mudford alone, hut

More than that. 'When the first route for the highway from
IJoseburg to Jledford was mapped out, it will be recalled Grants
I'ass was not on that map. The highway was drawn from Rosc

to the highway .commission, a better one for the state as a whole.

of established travel. Mcdford won.
but Mcdford was a material factor
It limy also be recalled that the highway commission insisted
that the I'aeifio highway pass up Gold Hill, for a similar reason.
The original maps were drawn accordingly. Mcdford went to ;thc
bat for Gold Hill, just as it has gone to bat for the Gold Hill
bridge. And here again Mcdford won the fight in the interest of
her neighbor. 1 ii'fcll(!S
Now the Mail Tribune does, noj maintain that Mcdford is a
paragon of all the unselfish virtues, nor deny that it is primarily
interested, iu its own welfare, which is the case With other com
munities.
But this it does maintain that to picture Mcdford as a chronic
hog, trying to benefit itself at the expense of its neighbors and
grabbing whatever it can that legitimately belongs to them, is
unjust and untrue.
Take this so-called Oregon caves road for example, connect
nig with the coast. This project is not designed to injure Grants
l'ass, but is designed to benefit Southern Oregon, by rendering the
eaves more accessible from all points of the valley. The Mcdford
contention is that tho niorie people who sec the caves the better
tho transportation facilities to the west, the better for all concerned
In the last 'analysis this is self-interest. But it is enlightened
self-interest. Mcdford ' supported the Ashland-Klamath highway
for the same roasoii. For whatever benefitted Ashlaiid and in
creased the trade with the Ivluinatji Falls district, could not fail
to also benefit Mcdford. ,
Tho idea that for one town to get ahead it is necessary to pull '
down some neighboring town, may have'.jircvailcd in Mcdford at
one time, but it certainly docs not prevail Jicre today.
Mcdford realizes that the best way for Mcdford to develop
and prosper is for every district in . Southern Oregon to develop
and prosper. Mcdford, by its geographical position, enjoys cer
tain advantages, of which it can not be easily deprived, and it only
wishes to make the most of those advantages.
That is why Medford was found on the fighting lino for the
l.'cltcrment of. Coos Bay and the Crescent City harbors. The big
benefit will accrue to these two places, of course," but Medford
has sense enough to realize that whatever benefits one section
of this state, benefits Mcdford and every other section. ,
That, is the Medrnrd -policy, as we see it, and we believe' any
fair-minded investigation of the facts will sustain this eonlcntinn.

doomed to heavy labor that racks the bone and tlicw. Kaeh
day I see him travel, serene and unafraid, to shovel sand and
gravel where concrete walks are laid, lie toils for hours to
gether without a pause for rest; his hands are tough as leather,
and bulging is his chest. Sometimes he wheels a barrow along
n runway high; it's dangerous and narrow, if he should fall
he'd die. And when the lights arc burning, and evening kettles
boil, I sec this man returning, quite jaunty, from his toil. Ho
whislles as he teeters upon his homeward way, saluting Mikes
and l'cters with baiidiiingo quite gay. And as the evo advances
he dons his Sunday clothes, and goes to long-drawn dances, or
to the movie shows. I, too, have wrought and striven through
out the long, long day; much labor 1 have given to writing odo

while I'm there reclining I often fall asleep. My task is not
