In Portland a (fronp of Federal judges are eonsideriiit; the pib

construct a cross-state railroad, from Crescent to Crane. If any
one .will 'look at-tlic map they will see that such'a ernss-stnt

wliereas a cross-state line from Medl'ord to Klamatli would puss

In other words, if Oregon is to have a cross-state railroad,
the logical route would be from Klanintli to the Const via Med
ford; rather than from Crane to Crescent, iiltbnti;li no one in
Oroifon would object if both lines were constructed. , . .

uior tliat the Great Northern, when its connection with Kan
Francisco is sompleted via the Western Pacjfic, intends to con

continue this line to tidewater, probably at Crescent City.
We have no inside information reyardiinr this rumor. We
don't know whether it is based upon fancy or fact. But WE
DO KNOW such a rumor is in harmony will) the facts; with the
ioj'ic of the situation, and with tho announced policy of the Hill
lines t.) develop any territory in which they enter.
AND PECACSK OK THIS WE UEDIEVE THE TIME HAS
COME FOR MEDFORD TO GET TOO ETHER ON HOMT2

POWER, , TO 1UUNG THIS RAILROAD DBVELOPM EXT

' :
WE 'KNOW sometliiiiK about, public rtpiiii'oit in Southern Oi'e
on, and we know that the sentiment in favor of (jetting
tic Hill linoH- in here is simply ovoryvbelmiiif;. '. For everyone
rnlixes that such action would do more for the. growth mid de
velopment of Medford and the Ropue River valley, than any
thing that could be iuuiKined Not -only would railroad compe
tition he desirable, and nil East-West transcontinental connec
tion he in valuable ; but such construction would make Medford
Plfi fliBTriUuting center for the richest area of pine and fir, i-e-
mnmiiif; in the United States.,, It is, we lielievc, well within the
bounds of eonservative statement to say, that if the Great North
ern, should decide to build to Medford tomorrow, its population
would he doubled within less than ten years.
'
RAILROADS miiy hot be linmait; biit the men who control
them are. And the thought that occurs to us nt this time
is this:. ..',(',.,-.'..
Everyone in Metlford knows liow eager the people of this
community lire to get the Groat Northern, lmt,'ns fnr ns we are
informed, the ottuiialH of tho Great .Northern DON'T KNOW IT.
It. would certainly do no hnrm, and blight do great good, if the
people 'of' Medford, through some organization, perhaps tlje
Chamber of Commeree or the Central Civic Council, should let
these olficiiilK know what Hie local sentiment is, and "incident.
ally what the present find potential resources of this section of
Oregon are. . . , .,
As flen Franklin remitrkcd, "God helps those who help
themselves," It appear to us the time has come for the people
ol" Med fori to get busy helping themselves. The facts noted
above demonstrate that something is afoot. A little definite
aggressive action now, majf mean all the difference between
Medford and "Southern Oregon going ahead "great guns'' or
.standing still perhaps going backward.. .,
THE LAW OF
HOW tlmt old law of aoipeiisation works! It often seems ns
immutable as the law rif gravity. For doesn't it demand
a spiritual balance,. as gravity demands a .physical one?
Every now and then we see people who seem to get all the
breaks. They are on the top of the wave all the time. '.Others
get no breaks at all., The latter are as persistently '.pursued by
misery as the former by joy.
So we concludu there is no justice in the world we merely
play certain parts as Shnkespenre claimed; one has a happy,
carefree role, another an nphappy tragic one, nnd flint's that.
'
BPT'is it? Doesn't the hnsis for that belief lie in the fact,
'that all the fuels are not known, and that when all the
Diets regarding the life of arty individual ARE known, that old
tfiw of iioinpensHtioii strikes what approximates a balance!..
M'ebbc not. Hut a story just came in oyer' tho wire which
supports such n hypothesis. It gave a close-up of Knute Roijknc,
who says he is tired of acclaim, tired of being patted on the
back, tired of banquets, 'tired of football and never wonts to see
another game. All he .wants is to spend three weeks at the Mayo
elinie'and try to get back bis health again. It inoa'ns quite a fin
ancial loss, but what gootl is money, asks Knute, if you feel so
rotten you can't enjoy it.

A-asi Apru, 'pot April i- irsi,-- due
later, I .tjuoted Dr. Kellogg's our-
rent . teaching .that when the skin
is- heated . to such - a degree that
pature pours out,water upon It to
eool it. by evaporation contact
with a dmft of cold, air is highly
perilous, and. J intimated that waa,
baloney; - although I .still concede
Dr. Kellogg Is- generally right Jn
whatavor :-ha says, about health.
One ;with jtxy type of .mind dimply
cannot understand why .it is safe
enough for nature to cool the skin
by evaporation, yet ."highly perll-
niifl" :if one tukes-advantage of a
cold draft of . air. to help nature, I
Hhicerely :think . that Dr. Kellogg
Ik just, confusing his inborn .fancies
tradition with, plain common-
stmse . have. .1 am fairly certain
thnt he- can cite no scientific or
experimental evidence to. support;
the complex he so . persistently
entertains about this. ' - .n
It is true painfully ' true; that
when - one gets d hit overheated
thru -exertion too- sudden .cooling
as by it cold "draft or neglect to put
on -one's sweater. Is likely -to pro
duce much -stiffness, soreness aml(
lameness In the muscles which
have been -so vigorously used, nut
this has no bearing whatever on
so-called "colda' or "taking cold",
and it, Is clear that Dr. Kellogg
does not refer to this as the "hlfeh
ly perilous cold draft. There is
nothing perilous about such sore
muscles.
This time the good poctor does
better, tho I 'still feel his teaching
is not so good. In his latest anim
adversion he tells uh that "women
wear much less clothing -than men,
und so, suffer much less from over
heating, especially in warm weath
er, a common cause of summer
colds nnd sinusitis."
I contend that overheating is not
a cause of sinusitis, and while I
don't know just what the Doctor
means' by "summer colds" I ven
ture to say that no -one ever caught
one frum, overheating. - But. bless
your -fleur. hearts, the good Doctor
didn't .mean Just that.-. What he
meant haaveti only knows, but he
hastens to add to the foregoing
obfuscatlon:
"Of course, the- cold -does , not
come directly from the overheat
ing;." -
' I should any not. There are not
a million d.ogs there at bei5V there
ure only our dog and the neigh
bor's cur. '
Of . course -colds don't come di
rectly, .or If 1 may. slip .in a word
here, Indlreotly, from overheating,
but let the Sage finish his argu
ment: ' -
'A .cold. ,u alnusltls is an acute
Infection.'
There ' you have . it. Simple
enough when you know how. So
is diptherla an acute Infection and
I hnve never met a live doctor who
had the temerity to tench tb.it
overheating or chilling has any
thing to do with diphtheria. Now
Dr. Kellogg takes the floor to put'
ah end to this nonsense: -
"A cold, a sinusitis, is an ncute
Infection. ' The germs are already
on the spot, but asleep, so to spenk.
Overheating and after chilling.,
lower the resistance and 1 awaken
the germs to activity." Ah, that

.THE 8HEPMERD'8 SINGING
By Wary .Grahain Bonner
Theiilttle Ulaek Clbckook John
and Peggy to1 Italy and through
Sicily. He had turned the time
back a number of
years. .
Now the shep
herds were comliifr
down through the
glens of the moun
tain passes and
wore playing, on
their clear sylvan
pipes.
.. Some men joined
the others and
played on their vio
lins . . and 'cellos,
while through the1
villages and glens and tho moun
tain passes and slopes the beauti
ful music sounded gloriously, : 'i
John heard some one pluyiilt! n
guitar, too, and Peggy saw another
person shaltlng a tamhourlue. Then '
the Little. Black Clock . showed
them babies who were being rocked
more at this time of the year than
at any other because they were to
have Christmas treats, too.
They got out of their sleigh at
times and walked. From some of
the mountain passes they looked
down on villages with their twink
ling lights, all waiting lor Santa
Claus to come. J
"Don't you think Christmas is iO'
very exciting time of the year?"
Peggy asked the Little Black Clock.
-M-tro." the Little Illack Clock
agreed.'" think -that even the air
is filled with an excitement around
Christmas time."
' H'l hoie Santa brings me a train
and a set of signals," John said
"I hois? he brings me a carriage
for my doll and a little set ol
dishes," Peggy said.
"Have you .written and told him
so?" the Little lllark Clock asked.
"Oh. yes." said Peggy, and John
said the same.
"Then I'm pretty sure he will,"
the' Little Illack Clock said; "''
been around t. good long time, and
I've noticed that he brings just as
much to -everyone as ho ifnsslhly
can and he pays groat nttention t"
the letters telng him what Ihe
children waii"
They were on their way horn''
now.
"Where are we going tomorrow
night" John asked.
"We're going to see the reindeer
having their slipper," the Little )
Ulack Clock said.
"Goodie!" cried Peggy.
