HII.LSJ30HO, OKKOON, is u uood example for Medford to
follow. Ilillsboro liasn't h tliird of the population of Med

Ilillshoro is situated in Washington Count.whieh is a rich
iiKi-KMiltiirul section, speeializint? in herries and small fruits, but
it is naturally no riehvr, and not as diversified as Jackson
I onnty. It has no irrigation or proper drainage system, whiL" j
Jackson Counly has the first, and is prcparhij; to seeure the!
sreond.
In other words, Medford is in a far better position to have a
liirjre and successful cannery than Ilillsboro, yet while there
are two canneries in this section, both of them are small com
pared to Hie Ilillsboro cannery and neither are prow in k as rap
idly, or enjoyini; the profits of the Washington Comity nrf-'ani-
WHY is this? There seems to he one obvious answer, local
financial simnort. ' A few years iil'O the Ilillsboro can
nery was oh the verpe of bankruptcy with an $S0,(K)l) debt.
I'orlland is a near neighbor, hut Toi-thind would (five no sup
f.ort. The situation was critical. "
At this juncture lid ward Sehuliuerich, state senator and
president of the Commercial National liank of Ilillsboro, stepped
in. lie loaned money to the cannery; if our information is cor
rect, he backed his faith in the cannery, life ability of the man
agement, as well as in the ability of the ranchers to furnish the
produce, to the extent of approximately $125,000.'
Last year not only did the cannery take the local product--,
but it sent down to Medford for pears, paid the freight to the
S. P. and from $-10,000 to $1)0,000 in cash to local pear growers.
NOT only has the llilltsboro cannery made money, but the
Ilillsboro bank lias made money also, and the entire com
munity has been benefitted tremendously. ' ' '
The iiicstion naturally arises, why can't Medford do whai
Ilillsboro has done in fact, why can't Mx-iU'ord, with its su
perior resources and facilities, do even 'more?
There may be Important differences between the' two com
munities of which we are not aware. Hut we believe the matter
is of sufficient importance to Jackson county to justify the
Chamber of Commerce in making a careful study of the Ilills
boro situation, and determining what those differences are, if
any exist.
Those differences determined, there is evcr.v reason to he
lievc they coiild be satisfactorily adjusted. We don't believe
there is anything that would do more to increase local prosperity
and render it more jiermanent than the establishment of a l-jryc
and successful canning industry, in this district.

WHAT A GREAT RELIEF !
D liliAHDIIiSS of the respective merits of the various gubcr-r-'
jiatorial candidatos, it was certainly refreshing to listen
to the straightforward common-sense talk that Candidate Cor
bett gave at the Hotel Medford Friday noon.
.. HlV'iJf'UK oly for out-selves, vo are, so. tired pE listening to
ihe usual' glittering generalities,"iiiid fe'licitioiis flub-dub, of
our aspiring office-seekers, that the simple directness and con
tinuing sincerity of Mr. Corbet t was like a drink of cool water
to a wanderer in the Sahara. '
We particularly admired the I'ortlauder's refusal, to go the
"easiest way" adopt the Cheap tactics of the professional
politician and glibly promise that, if elected, he would give
everything to Jackson county that any faction might desire,
from good trout fishing in Hogue liiver to free fire-works on
Iju- top of Koxy Aiine.
' - t : ,-..
A K Mr. 'Corhc-tt-'Well said the Covernor of Oregon is not n
Santa C'Iihim' or a magician. He is -not even n LAW
MAK.HH. He cuil no more promise the people of this state cer
tain specific laWs than the president of a corporation can jirom
isc the stockholders certain specific dividends.
Oregon is nothing "more than u big business organization, and
its governor js simply its chief executive. The governor's job
is not to make the laws or determine policies, but to carry them
out. ' -.-' '
Naturally an effective executive would do everything in his
power to promote regulations and policies in which he him
self believed; hut no honest executive would, or COl'l.l), prom
ise to cajry thein out before they had been enacted. Such mat
ters in a state are up to the people and the legislature; just as
sin-h matters in a corporation are up to the stock hohb-rs and
board of directors.
' "
llTIi even enjoyed the absence of the usual unctuous political
" flattery the talk about how superior the dear people of
Ibis section are to every Other, and how nothing so salubrious
and swooningly beautiferous as the Kogue Hiver valley has
ever 'met the eyes of iniiu since the Harden of liden.
ll may till he true enough. Hut it is so "easy" and so old.
And we are so weary of the entire old hokum and easy-murk
performance.
"
tXTIi may be an exception lo the rule, however; I'erhnps the
T way to g.-t votes in this land of the free and home of the
brave, is to assume the dear people have the mentalities of little
children--promise them airplanes and automobiles, shove a
sweet meat between their tiny lips, and pat them on the head.
I'resto! The ballot-counters will tlo the rest! o
Mebbe so. Then again inehbe not. We will undoubtedly
know more about it next Friday night.
