Mr. Bhipman makes a visit to the
valley about twlco each year and says
that he notices a marked Improve
ment in conditions here with each
visit. '
"Medford has certaiuly outdone her
self In the building line since my last
visit hero six months ago. Particu
larly did I notice tho corner at Main
street and the highway, next to the
old Page theater ruins. That cer
tainly makes a wonderful difference
in tho looks of the business district.
I was also greatly interested in the
remodelling of the building directly
across the street, tho Sparta building,
isn't it? There I found my old friend.
George Andrews, busily engaged In
superintending a forco of workmen
who aro finishing what Is going to be
a big asset for Medford; I refer to
tho new studios which will house a
real school of music. Mr. Andrews
showed me all over the building and
I was greatly impressed with the gen
eral scheme, there being a number of
modern, up-to dato private studios and
a fino reeital ball that will also bo
used for dancing classes.
"Kven during the building operations
thero were many pupils coming and
going, for Mrs. Gore, Carleton Janes,
Carl Loveland and the Hnzelriggs
were all doing business 'at tho old
stand.' I don t know whether Med
ford really appreciates these people
as she should, for the work they are
doing is one of the things, yes, one of
the main things, that makes this com
munity the wonderful place that it Is.
Business enterprises, money, etc., are

without any artistic life does not at
