RAILROAD LOAN PLANjEAllLITY (Continued fruin Page One.) a Ion on the matter, Then In your Issue of Thursday afternoon I discovered that our city was all "het up" over this matter and that at least some members of our chamber are ready to send for ward to Washington emissaries to bring back the small sum of only six and one-half million dollars from the "grab bag." which (according to our modern Joseph's dream), is to be established In Washington. For this small sum we would bond the city of Medford. Simple, isn't It? The assessed valuation of Medford Is approximately eight million dol lars. Our present bonded debt Is above one and one-halt million, now If we can bond for six and one- half millions more, we Just make an even swap of all our property for a Crescent City railroad. Andrew H, Brown (of Amos 'n Andy) never had a more beautiful Idea strike him on the side of the head In his balmiest days. Is It possible that we have even a few business men In Medford who are sufficiently wildly visionary enough to ask our county court to appropriate $1000 of taxpayer's money to such a foolish and impossible exploitation? Is It possible that our chamber of commerce would lend Its Influence to such a vain scheme? Just what would Medford do with a railroad to Crescent City, If she had one? Much as we should all like to see a railroad built to the sea, we are not aiding such a pro ject by making ourselves ridiculous with Impractical and Impossible schemes. If we are ever to see this railroad built with the aid of gov ernment funds, It will have to be sponsored by one of our trunk line systems, which will at least afford some guarantee of repayment of the money. Let's wake up from this present dream and not make ourselves ri diculous and our emissaries a laugh ing stock down jn Washington, and incidentally save our county court the embarrassment of appropriating the $1000. A. W. PIPES. Dix Coming Sund&y -In Craterian Film Richard Dix, star of "Cimarron," "Secret ' Service" and other recent romantic films, has an entirely new kind of role In "Roar of the Dragon," the dramatic story of turbulent Man churia, coming to the Fox Craterian Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, In contrast to the rollicking, light hearted character he usually por trays, Dix Is seen as a cynical, dis illusioned skipper of the Chinese river service, with little faith in men and none at all In women. His boat disabled by Chinese ban dits, Dix and his varied group of passengers take refuge in a small Interior village where they convert a former Mandarin's palace Into ft stockade. Here, under fire from the bandits and threatened by plague, Dix" meets and falls In love with a beautiful Russian woman of mystery. Her calm courage, her willingness to risk the meanest privation to remain with him, rejuvenate Dix and he changes from a selfish sluggard to a daring leader of the beleaguered refugees. The romance has as a stirring background the teeming life of a Chinese village, torn by civil strife and ruthless bandit raids. Supporting Dix is Gwlll Andre, young Danish actress..
