ROAD TWO YEARS FOR FISH LAKE ,,11)00. 4f Official Paper of the City of Medford. ftEonoE Putnam, Editor and Manager. SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One year, by mail $5.00 One month by mail or carrier .$0.50 MEDFORD S OPPORTUNITY. , "When a town has an opportunity to become famous ,w any way it should take advantage of it and push it Bedford has the opportunity of becoming a news center, iflie only place between Portland and San Francisco where mjavolers can secure the news. The city should take ad jyantagc of it and build up a great daily newspaper, which will supply the wants of the traveling public and be a "constant advertisement of the communit3r, " said Tom Richardson, chief of the Oregon Development league, at ' the booster meeting Monday night. What Mr. Richardson said is true. Medford can be ,,'thc only small city in. the world whose newspaper will be J" demand by the traveling public. This is because ot ns peculiar geographical location, far enough away from j 'he large cities to make metropolitan newspapers a twice-told tale. This advantage is further supplemented by the entrain service, which will always be favorable for an after '".lioon newspaper. It is such a paper that the Mail Tribune aims to be come, and such it will become if proper support is forth coming. Bricks cannot be made without straw, and a metropolitan daily cannot be supported on the patronage ordinarily given the country town daily. Medford is not, however, an ordinary country town, and there is every ' indication that the needed support for the finest news paper in Oregon outside Portland will be forthcoming, and the Mail Tribune will be a great daily. Few people realize what a great advertising medium and what a population producer a good daily newspaper is. At the present time there are several hundred copies of the Mail Tribune taken in the east by persons contem plating coming here to reside, and every day there is a score of requests for sample copies. Upon the showing made by the newspaper, these prospective investors will make up their minds. Mr. Richardson's talk was entirely unsolicited on the Mail Tribune's part and was merely a part of the program of the Oregon Development league's campaign for a great er Oregon. His remarks show the situation as viewed by an unbiased, non-resident of Medford, but a patriotic. Ore gbnian. THE OITY BEAUTIFUL. Mr. Richardson's remarks in behalf of the ladies of tho Greater Medford club's campaign for a city beauti ful wore timely and to the point, and alone paid for the splendid booster meeting last night.' Uniform tree planting along Medford 's streets will transform the appearance of the place and do more to make Medford a desirablo residence city than any one thing that could be suggested, and everything possible to aid tho ladies in this, their greatest undertaking, should be and probably will bo done. Many a homely little village in tho prairie states of twenty years ago has been transformed into a beauty spot simply by planting trees, which havo redeemed tho bare roads and streets into shaded and inviting avenues. All tho famous homo cities of the world havo been made attractive bv trees. Thoy cost but little and the result is astonishing. Medford in a few years can be made as at tractive as any of them, and if tho ladies succeed in their efforts, will bo made so. Allen States He Hopes to Have Pa cific & Eastern Completed Within Two Years Over Mountains. Under tho caption, "Medford to Central Oregon," tho Oregon Journal Monday published an Interview with John It. Allon, president of tho Pa cific & Eastern road, In which It is stated that tho Pacific & Eastern will bo extended as rapidly aa possl- blo to a connection with either tho Oregon Trunk lino or tho Deschutes railroad. In part it says: "John U. Allen of Medford, pros! dent of tho Pacific & Eastern, is In Portlnand today arranging for details of the work In connection with his railroad and also trying to secure about 500 additional men to rush the work on tho new line. " 'Wo havo getweon 300 and 400 men at work now, I believe, saw Mr. Allen, 'but wo want 500 more If wo can got thorn. Our greatest trouble nt present Is to secure enough mon to rush the work along as rapidly as possible. Complete In Two Years. " 'It Is my hope to havo tho road oomplotod to a connection with either tho Hill or tho Harrlman Deschutes lino within two years. It makes no difference to us which road wo con nect with wo aro Just ao willing to do business with tho Southern Pa cific as with tho Oregon Trunk. It depends upon which lino In built first.' "From tho close relations that have oxlsted between Allen and John P. Stevens and tho Porter brothers,, slnco Allon took charge of the Ia- clftc & Eastern, It lg evident that he believes the Oregon Trunk lino will he tho first completed Into southern Oregon, and that ho has an under standing with the Hill representa tives concerning a southorn Oregon outlet to tho west for the Oregon Trunk lino." ; TOO LATE TO CLASSIFY. 4. 4. 4. 4.4- FOR SALE 240 acres, about 35 acres cleared, balance In timber, about 2,500,000 teot yellow plno on plnce; plenty of outsldo range; 5 room box house ,nnd other build ings; two big springs, family or chard; mllo and a quartor of school; machinery goes with plr.co.
