Ibised on surround. itiK resources and the loyally an I cooperation of Its cltizena, he chose KiiKeno, Medford and Klama'h Falls as the three outstanding Ore gon cities. j "Vou may think I am foolish In I making such a declaration, he said j In part, "but I have given the ma!-, ter careful tmly and find It is a' natural situation. Around Med ! ford you have over .10, two acres ofj fertile land, nnd this year from) J l.ooo f.crc you harvested a crop; valued at five millions of dollars. I f you would compare returns from this acreage with the fertile corn land In Nebraska and Iowa, you would find that it takes tin aers of corn to bring us much revenue back hi the farmer as one acre vf your fertile orchard land. 1'ivilicls Population. 'I believe In your future her I perhaps morn than you lo your selves," continued Mr. Jenkins "Klfty thousand people Jor Mit furd would not be too high for a goal.
