Medford streets furnish an object lesson in the value of paving. The contrast between the. paved streets ami the un paved is so great during the rainy weather that no one can fail to see the greater value of property on paved .streets. As a business and commercial proposition paving pay,-:. The value, and desirability of property is increased far more by paying than the mere cost of the paving. Stores on side streets can bo rented Tor double the present rental if the streets are paved. Residences can also be rented at an advance much greater than tho cost of the yearly paving assessment. Medford should become tho best pavnl city in Oregon and it is hoped that another year will see both Sixth and Eighth streets in the -business district and all connecting streets paved as well as Central avenue. Riverside and East Main streets, as well as other residence avenues paved so that Medford may indeed become the most at tractive and desirable of cities. MIS IS TO AID BALLINGER Is Chief Witness for Government In Coal. Land Cases Now Be ing Heard in Seattle, (United Press Leased Wire.) SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 19. Al though former Special Agent L. K. Glavis has hee discharged ami dis credited hy Secretary Balliugor, tho interior department is depending chiefly, upon tho testimony collected by hint to support its chnrges of fraud in the Cunningham coal cases. This "has already become evident in the character of the exhibits and af fidavits introduced .by the govern ment' in the Cunningham 'hearing, . which 'was resumed this morning. Yesterday and today tho govern ment's attorneys introduced -9 affi davits and other documents, most f them procured by Glavis while he was working on the case. Many of these are from the cntrymen, half n dozen of them from Cunningham himself, and the collection is honey - combed with discrepancies and con tradictions regarding the plan and intentions of the entry-men. Many of them deny positiye.ly that the entrymen had any agreement to consolidate their interests, but tho agreement to consolidate is set up in detail in the private notebook of Cunningham, n copy of which forms one of, the exhibits. There aro also many positive and specific denial that there -were negotiations with the Gnggenheims, but one of the exhibit i u' memorandum of an agreement proposed by n committee of the en trymen to Daniel Guggenheim in New York last 3ear.

This step toward making tho col lege sport more attractive to the spectators has long been urged by many interested iu tho development of the game, and for some time hns been under consideration by tho powers in athletics at Washington: The argument advanced in favo r of the innovation is that the on lookers can follow the action of their favorite players, keep track of the matt with the ball, note tho. flights of the oval in tho various intricate for mations involving forward passes ip short, get to know "who's who" in a game. Too Much For tho Grizzly. Tho hunter was recalling some of his early experiences for tho benefit of tho teuderfoot. "Yes, sir," he said, "it wns my first grizzly, and I don't deny I was proud of having killed him in a hand to hand struggle. Wo began fighting about sunrise, and when ho finally rolled over, done for, I'll bo blamed If tho sun wasn't goliig down." Ho paused. No one said anything, and so ho added slowly, "For tho sec ond time." "Do you mean that It took you two days to kill a grizzly'" asked the Eng. llsh tourist. "Two whole days and ono night," re plied the guide, reaching for a brand to light bis pipe. "Ho died mighty hard." "Choked to death?" asked the tourist. "Yes. sir," the guide said calmly.

The mure he com plained the more he ached to pick a fuss, and Mrs. Bowser was finally driven to silence. Before bedtime Mr. Bowser, who sat on the front stops alone, had had rows with two melon peddlers and u stranger looking for a man named Smith.
