MEDFORD.
i4 OAers See s
AS everyone knowa this ii "a great country" and we are
proud of it. Medford ia "one of the biggest little cities
on the coast" and we' are proud of that, too. Woe to the one
who stepi on the tail of our civic-pride coat he wjll immediate
ly have a fight on his handa and a real one.
All of which ia natural enough and not to be deplored.
But what do others think of Medford and the Rogue River
valley! That ia more important,
on civic pride, every up and
opinion of itself. What Medford
so important as what the rest
Well what DOES the rest
Judging by the last issue of it business survey, "Commonwealth
Incorporated" of Portland thinks very highly of this little city,
its present, past, and particularly its future.
Starting with the announcement that in few states does one
city dominate statewide trade aa Portland doea in Oregon,
nevertheless it declares "certain trading centera in this state,
show signs of growing importance." We quote:
"Kext to Portland. Medford shows th greatest concentration
on trade. Medford dominates easily In aouthern Oregon east of
th Coast rang and Ita fruit business pushes up It wholesal
volume tremendously. Important cltlea aucb aa Oranta Pass and
Aahland ar In Ita territory as Is aouthern Douglas county and
Siskiyou county In California. Salem and Eugene follow In order
with the Willamette valley their plum. Both have larger dollar
volumea than Medford but a smaller per capita business and a
smaller proportion of their population In trade activities.
Roaeburg lack Importance a a distributing and retail center
because It 1 th only city In hug Douglas county whose popula
tion la predominantly rural. Part of Douglas county business
goes Into Medford, part Into Bugen and part to the mall order
house. Oranta Pas I too close to Medford a la Aahland.
It can be expected that the leader In trad will continue to
lengthen their lead a their merchants look further afield and
new highway 'ar built. Salem, Eugene, Medford and Th
Dalle appear to have especially bright futures In trad.
Not bad! And this is an impartial business survey, from
Portland which can't be accused of any partiality toward Med
ford, and the extreme southern portion of the state.
In concentration of trade, which from the standpoint of gen
eral prosperity ia the important factor, Medford is second only
to Portland, throughout the state.
The present ia good, but for
valley, the future looks even better.
Many thanks to Commonwealth Inc.l That has been our
own opinion for some time; we are glad to have it confirmed,
by an authoritative, outside, and impartial source.
Wh tie There s Life, ' '
""PHE present situation regarding world peace, reminds one of
that old atory of the incorrigible optimist, who having
jumped from the top of a 20-story building was heard to remark

optimist avoiding a sudden exit into eternity.
But there is a C1HANCE. Such things have happened before
and may happen again. A projecting awning may check and
deflect the fall, or there may be for all we know a life net

THERE is this much to be said for the peaceful optimist.

Ethiopia rejects the offer with
a horse laugh. And the league committee backs up the "King

was to be expected also.
But while there is life there's hope,' and as long as the talk
ing stage continues there ia hope of a peaceful settlement,
Not much but a little. And hope is hope, in such a situation.
IF, as some suppose, Mussolini was and is determined upon
war, regardless of what might happen, then he was very fool
ish to consider any verbal negotiations.

a furrlner named Adrlo Mateo, a

relation between atmospheric pressure
as recorded by the barometer and ar

When the atmospherlo pressure rises
the blocd pressure of a normal person
diminishes: when tne atmospheric
pressure falls, the blood pressure
rises.

circulation Is to be maintained) Is
likely to feel bad when the barom

drops to around normal, because his
circulatory system hasn't the elas

this change.
Likewise, a dignified party who

answer your question by visiting the
contemplated place of residence dur
ing the season and learning whether
she finds relief there. The Upper
Peninsula affords relief to many vic
tims from out of the state of Michi
gan and from the Infernal Regions
of the state. Pocono, Eaglesmere,
Bradford. In Pennsylvania, are good
resorts for hay fever victims. Du

Is It safe and advisable for healthy
people to do without meat In their
diet? We eat whole wheat bread-(we
grind our own wheat for it, and the
bread Is delicious), rice, macaroni,

Comment

Day's News
By rtUKK JENKINS
CAMPINO, fishing and hunting
la th West, la tries modem
days, are pretty apt to Involve con
tact with th forest service, and
contact with th forest aerrlc In
evitably Involve contact with rule.
For th moat part, these rules
ar wis and sound, with good
reasons back ef them, and like
wise for the most party they ar
administered hy sound and able
men, who understand people and
conditions and make their decisions
accordingly.
There ar exception, ef course,
both aa to rule and aa to mea.
ONI minor ml that has always
seemed more or leas absurd to
this wrlttr la posted at practically
alt camping places: "Don't dean
fish la stream or lakes."
It wouldn't do, of course, to clean
flah In stream or lake at such
heavily patronized resort as Dia
mond lake or Crater lak. But at the
average camp la th mountains flah
offal la gobbled up gratefully by
martens, flahera, mink, kingfishers,
etc. Certainly It Isn't permitted to
II Indefinitely la th streams and
befoul them.
It seems probabl that thla nil
waa mad by soms big shot la
Washington who Kperlenee with
the outdoors haa been confined to
Sunday strolls In Bock Creek p4rk.
Th rule, of course, Isn't Import
ant, one way or another. It la Juat
one of those things. .
THXRK la a rule that before you'
may camp la a national forest
In th fir eon you 'rauat have
a fir permit, and befor you can
get a permit you muat have ahovel,
bucket and ax. That la sound and
reasonable.
Cm of th .Important task ef
forest servlo" mea Is to prsvent
fire from starting and to put them
out when they DO start, Campers
ar a prolific source ef fires, for
the averaga summer camper la la
herently careless. Many of them are
heedless.
Being required to get a permit
put th finger of authority on' these
careless 'and heedless onss, causing
them to feel, that they are under
conatant observation and will get
Into trouble If they disobey the
rules. That Is a good way for that
kind of people ' to feel. It makes
them more careful.
Then the permit system ensbles
the forest service to keep track of
campers, hunters and fishermen. By
knowing where such people are. they
are better able to anticipate fire
trouble. They are also better able
to hang reaponslblllty where It be
longs, which Is something.
THIS writer ..eiperlence which,
except for the past few years,
haa been fairly extensive Is that
the great majority of foreat serv
ice men are able, conacientlous,
courteous, devoted to the Ideals ef
their service and, competent Judgea
of human nature.
Ia ether words, they're a good
lot understsndlng people snd
knowing hew to handle them.
HERE, agsln, there are exceptions.
Thla writer, aeveral yeara ago,
waa drifting casually and easily
through several of the Oregon for
ests, camping here and there. The
party had failed to provide Itself
with the REGULATION water buck- !
et, shovel and ax, these utensils j
being such sa could be picked up I
around horn at th tlm of starting.
But, at th start, th rangera In
charge of Issuing permits were reas-
onsbl and sensible, figuring that
shovel Is a shovel, a bucket a
bucket and aa ax aa ax. So every
thing went merry aa a marriage
bell for a while.
THEN cam the exception, we'd
camped one night at a regular
forest csmp, near a ranger station
It got chilly aa the devil, ao we
started a fire, and wa hadn't much
mora than got th fir surted whsn
a young ranger cam charging down, J
demanding to see our fir permit.
W shewed It to him.
Then h, demanded to see our
shovel, bucket and ax. So wa show
ed THEM ts him. It waa there thst
th trouble started.
Th handle of th shovel, It sum
ed, wss six Inches too short, and
th blad three Inch too narrow.
Th buck.t held about a gallon
tee little, and th at waa several
ounce too light.
It wa Juat simply a mess all the
way around, and It wa apparent
ha wa conaldrtng seriously whether
he should merely report us to head
quarter or line us up sgalnst a
tree and shoot us right there snd
