MEDFORD FOLK ARE
NEARLYALLAME ERICANS

NJ. A. RAIDER, former prominent bus
mess man of Pendleton and president
of the Commercial club, is here for
a few days, having arrived last even
ing He was called TO Walla Walla
by the death of his father and is
stopping off here en- route back to
Medford, where he is now located.
While admiring the evidence OF
prosperity here, Mr.. RAIDER has many
good things to say of Medford also.
In his estimation it is one OF the
most advanced small cities of the
coast and has remarkable popula-
ton in that they are almost entirely
native born Americans. At the last
city election out of a registration OF
over 400 only eight per cent were
foreigners. For the most part the
Medford population is made up OF
people from the middle west and the
residents are very progressive.

BOTTOM LAND READY
FOR SMALL FARMING

After many months of labor and
the expenditure of much money. Jo-
seph Vey, we'll known Umatilla coun-
ty sheepman, has succeeded in put
ting the one hundred acres of bottom
land just east of the city and known
as the old Mckay ranch, into shape
for small farming. The area has been
cleared of trees and BRUSH, leveled.
checked and ditched and, when the
headgates are constructed, will be
ready to put to use.
The Newport Land & Construction
Co. has had charge of the work of
leveling and ditching the land and
has had crew of men at work for
several months. Prior to that, how
ever another company had hold of
the clearing work, and it will be re-
membered used a donkey engine to
pull down the trees, which grew thick
over the land. The Newports are
now putting in the concrete head
gates, and each ditch and lateral is
to be thus treated.
The Vey project is a new venture
in the modern reclamation of unused
land in Umatilla county. Heretofore.
! the reclamation work has been con-
fined to the redemption of arid or
semi-arid lands but Mr.. Vey, by clear
ing away a small forest, has as fine
/ a piece of bottom land as there is in
! the county.
