We are so' y the Daily News of
Medford, m~squoted the Central
Point Ameriaan, in' ~a recent issue :01'
that thriving and growing daily paper
The American never, on any-oc-
~haSion, even intimated that "Centr~il
Point would 6e T. 'city of the val-
ley with Medford a suhneb." Far
from ~it.. .We kinve no such inflated
ambitions. '
Medford, we know and hope, will
always grow ahd will always be the
busy city; the bust city sail biggest
city oR~ all southern Oregon-with
Central Point, eventually part of this
big city, and Central Point the busy
auberb of Medford.
Geytral Point is.Yhe center of the
valley, the central point far its many

"Everybody believes the "Hill lines"
will build n railroad from Klamath
!!'ells to Crescent Clty. Cgming over
the hills forty miles from I{lamnth ~~
the Medfm•d logging road coutd be
taken over at Butte Falls, making a..
small boom at that mountmi;y town.
~benee the road weuld follow the
~preaent grade to a depot site between
Medfotd and Central Paint.
The present logging rand would
have to swing north to avoid the mill
and head for Grants Yas hencd
S1'.§:..
Central Point will, many believe, be
the railroad center fur the new road.
,Med-ford does-not object to this
program, as the "tso cities are prac-
tically one• now. '
More G•ackage space is available
at Central Point sad the town is the
central point of the entire valley and,
shotild you care to dream, Central
Point will be part of the largest city
in Southern Oregon.
It i$ up to some-orgatsi2ed effort
from Central Point to busy itself in
trying_ fA s~ .u12 ico planks, storage
plants, cream Brier, drying plants,
fruit cannery, clay products plents,~
etc. And it is surely up to Medfotd
to nsist in this, as the growth of Cen-'
trnl Point helps `6fedtord, and to re-
verse, "As bfedford grows, so does
Central Point." j
