Colvig of the Medford Commercial
club states that ho will not again act
ns club manager when his present
term expires, but will return to the
prncjise of law. The annual election
will be held Wednesday evening.
Gentlemen: I have had peronol
charge of the Medford Commercial
Club and its interests for n full jeer
ending December Hist. 1012, and it
is proper that I submit to your con
sideration a full rejwrt of tho W"k
done- during that icriod. You vri'l
find separate from this written ie
jwrt, a financial exhibit from myself
as secretary of the club, also n cor
responding report from F. Osen
bmgge, the treasurer. I am ghul to
state that at the end of tho year the
liabilities of the club have not bc!ii
increased, but I am sorry to an
nounce that they linve not been inn
tcrially reduced. Thero has been re
reived by tho 'secretary from nil
sources during tho year tho sum of
$5717J10, wlaeh amount was duly
turned over to tho treasurer les the
sum of $404.09, which was paid out
from timo to timo for incidental of
fice expenses during the year, and
for pobtngn used in corrosepondence
of tho office. Tho total amount of
postage so used was $317.35, while
the incidental office expenses were
ip.LlU.l-i.
Old Debt Inherited
On the first day of Jannnry, 1012,
tho club was owing sundry bills,
which have been poid during my nd
ministration, as follews:
llojmo Itiver Fruit & Pro
duce As.'n $284.85
1I.M0. Frohbach, for pro
cessing fruit 17.50
W. C.' T. U. Badges 12.50
Smilef Co. for magazines. . 305.70
Potter & Ooold, for fruit.. 2.50
$023.05
Besides, there wero several small
items not herein enumerated. There
wns 'also pnid out during the year
$350.00 ( ns nn appropriation for tho
purposo of sending Will G. Steo' to
Washington, D. C, to work in tho in
terest of tho Crater Lake National
Pork; and also there was paid to the
Oregon Mining Congress the sum of
$00, or $15 per month for four
months.)
' These bills woro paid by order of
the club. Tho club nt the present
time is indebted to the Southern Pa
cific Publicity Iiureuu in the sum of
$2900. lb. re. bus been one little
payment of $10u inado on tho origin
al $3000. This debt was incurred on
account of community booklets nnd
other literature more than two years
ago.' It should bo paid without fur
ther delay. Tho office has sent out
during the year nbout 18,000 separ
ate', pieties of community literature,
besides thero has been dictated nnd
sent out 3,100 personal letters in re
ply to inquiries received.
Home Kulo ItoatI Itill
Tho homo rulo rond bill, which was
J opart ed to (ho club nt its meeting
of Juno 5th, nnd at which time the
club authorized tho committco hav
ing it in chnrgo to take such steps
as wero necessary in ordor to have
tho bill placed on tho ballot at (he
regular fitato election. Tho commit
tco was composed of A. 12. Memoes,
chairman, Kd M. Andrews and Wm.
M. Colvig. Your president wns ap
pointed, by tho committee to go out
through tho state nnd proouro 10,000
petitioners to tho bill, which ho pro
ceeded to do. Ho had twenty-two
days in which to secure tho requisite
number of nnmes, and found it im
possible to do so except by following
tho plan resorted to by nil others
who circulated initiative potitions,
that is, by cmuloying ciruulntars and
jwyiug them so much per name.
Asido fnmi my personal expenses in
this road uampnigu, which were fully
$7o, I pnid out the sum of $807.S5,
as follews:
Don W. Oleoti,, secretary of
state $ -18.00
W. L. Monde, for securing
pcfiilioners 022.00
K. K. Tripj), for securing
petitioners 2.50
if. S Sherman, for securing
t, port ti.uu'rs 7.00
Henry Gee, for securing pe
titioners 0.00
G. O. Gnns, for securing pe
titioners 18.00
J. T. McCarthy, for secur
ing petitioners 78.00
. 1 1. Utxinger, for scour
ing petitioners 75.00
Willis Vidil'o, Ar securing
jH-titioncrst 5.00
Edw. Washburn, for secur
ing petitioners 22.40
$807.85
Citizen Defaults In Payment
I have cancelled checks and other
vouchers showing thcc payments.
There was $871 subscribed by our
citizens to defray the- expense..
This list wns turned over to me on
my return, nnd the sum of $531 hns
been pnid thereon aiid applied to my
credit, leaving $270.85, due me there
on, which toother with $75 per-onnl
expends, would make $351.85. 1
have not included in these personal
expenses n week's campaign in the
interest of the measure just before
election, nt which time I went to
Portland, Albany, Corvnlli. Salem
and other Willamette valley cities,
ami soko from automobiles and
otherwise to the people in advocacy
of the bill. My auto hire rdono was
something liko $20, nnd my other
expenses about $30, but ns I wns not
ordered to do this I leave it out of
my account.
This is my final report. In retir
ing from the work I want to thank
those loyal, active members who have
freely devoted both time nnd money
to tho advancement of material in
terests in this city, and hnvo stood
by me in the work. I wish nlso to
scnk in appreciation of the work
done by Mr. 0enbnigge ns treasur
er. If our efforts have not produced
results equal to thoe of former ad
ministrations, it is largely duo from
the fact that there has been n lull
nlong nil business lines. When nn
army is flushed with victory its lwld
cst nnd bravest arc in the lend, the
wenk nnd timid bring up tho rear,
but when a retreat is sounded, the
positions nro reversed, tho wenk of
heart crowd to the front of the flee
ing hosts, nnd tho ones with rour-
ngo nre loft to protect the renr so
that tho panic may not become n
slaughter. The club nnd its loynl
members have kopt retreating condi
tions from becoming a slaughter.
Miss .Scars Commended
Miss Fay Sears has been assis
tant secretary under mo during the
past j ear, nnd I cannot sienk too
highly of her services. She is thor
oughly acquainted' with the work, is
very painstaking nnd correct in keep
incr the accounts of tho individual
members, and hns u splendid know
ledge of all tho work connected with
the office. Her salary of $50.00 a
mouth is not nt nil ndequuto to the
services which uho renders. I have
during tho past year added $10.00 to
that amount from my own resources,
but the club can well afford to pay
her not less than $75 n month, be
cause she is worth that in any like
position, and I do not behove that
any new man can take chargo of the
work and dispense with her services
I, therefore, would recommend that
IIIU JW 11 J U U1IUII IIUl .JW.7.UU JK.T iiumiii
commencing with the first of Janu
ary of this year.
I feel that I hnvo been greatly hon
ored by tho business men of Medford
in being kept bo long at tho head
of this organization. I hnvo felt a
pride in tho work, and 1 retire there
from with n sincere hope nnd prayer
that the work of tho club may bo re
rived in order that tho name and
famo of Medford may bo kept in tho
front rank of Pacific const cities.
Hespectfully submitted by
WM. M. COLVIO,
President and Mannger.

was Impossible to compllo a list ot
