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..

times, the Schmellng-Sharkey IB
