Slnco coming to England tho colonel has lost no oppor tunities to "boost" Sir Francis. This strengthens tho belief that the colonel Ja planning to achieve a part in tho contemplated changes in Egypt. If Gorst be "fired," Roosevelt prob mbily will bo charged with interfering In England's private affaire. THE ADVANTAGES OF OWNING A BUICK TRUCK ran The merchant who owns a Buiek Truck will quite soon learn (lint it makes tho ideal delivery wagon. It is always ready and quick trips may be made on very, short notice. Every merchant, knows Cull well that on an average of almost once a day an emergency arises where goods aro wanted in u hurry. II! a truck was handy the delivery could be made and a customer gained. Right now there is a strong demand for a delivery service around Mod ford that is impossible bv wagon. Some firm will cover this service sooner or later WHY NOT YOU, AND WHY NOT DO IT NOW? We invite you to have a look at our now Buiek Truck. Let us demonstrate- for you show you what may be accomplished and give you tho operating cost. REJMEAQSER, when the truck stops, expense also stops. You'll find that a Buiek will be in service every day towing will not have to be resorted to, and you can do more satisfactory delivery service at less cost.

Where Delivery Service Is Taxed. The four Oranges in Now Jersey, together with neighboring villages, form a community with nearly 150,000 inhabitants, and yet are practically a suburb of Newark, covering a territory about five miles square. There is only one large store that of "R. H. jVIuir in iJast Orange, N. J., and no wool dress goods nor women's garments are handled in the "De partment Shop of the Oranges," but quite a line of house furnishings, and, of course,, the ordinary smallware lines. "Comparatively few of our customers," said LLr. jMiiir to an Economist representative, "take their purchases with them, so we probably have a larger demand upon our delivery department than most suburban stores. "To handle our 300 deliveries daily we -use gas oline ears. Each of the machines covers about ,5G miles a day on an average, uphill and downhill, on macadam, asphalt, stone pavement and ordinary roadway. Points to Consider. The chief point to consider, in my opinion, is to be sure and get a reliable driver who can take care of the car. Next comes the question of garage. From nry own experience I advise merchants to store their own cars. "A car which has to stand the hard knocks that oitrs gets will need a thorough overhauling at least once a year, and you will get off cheap if the expense of this is less than $100. Then; too, there are the in cidentals, such as punctured tires, renewal of bat teries, broken parts, etc., all of which greatly depend on the driver. If he is careful your incidentals will not be very large, but if you want to save a couple of dollars a week in wages you are more than likely to pay twice as much for repairs. So better get a good man and pay fail wages to begin with." Bonus To Chauffeur Their garage expense so far exceeds tho ordinary operating cost that it seems altogether out of pro portion. One merchant solved tho problem by mak ing an agreement with his chauffeurs to tho effect that if the ropairs and breakages on their cars averag ed less than a certain amount for six months they would get a bonus. If the amount was exceeded more than twice, he simply discharged them. A Quick Performance. Last Saturday, about half past eight in the eve ning, an Economist representative had a practical demonstration of the quickness with which deliveries can be made. The head of the house-furnishings de partment in !Mr. Muir's store came upstairs where the Economist man was discussing automobiles with the proprietor, and asked if it would be possible to deliver two lawn swings that night. The man in charge of the delivery department said that both chauffeurs had gone home, but he would run the ma chine himself. At 8:10 he went to the garage, three blocks away, got the car out, and at S:55 had tho swings loaded and started on his journey. The two places of delivery were about a mile and a half apart, the nearest over a half mile away from the store. By the time the car got back to the store it was 9:18. Such a performance would have been al most impossible with a horse and wagon. Here Is Actual Proof. As a proof of what these commercial motor vehicles can do, the other day a car did thirty miles in regular work 'and then was sent out at night on emergency service and covered twenty miles more in Staten Is land. Still more recently, another car did forty-five miles in a single day. In the near future, the Macy gasoline trucks will be reinforced by six more, one a large three-ton deliv ery truck, to be used for taking goods from the main store to the distributing station at Woodlawn. The other cars arc 2500 pounds delivery trucks.' Medford Buiek Co. H. L. T0U VELLE, Manager. HODSON'S GARAGE. Riverside Avenue, Near Main Street. OLD GLORY IN THE HIGHEST. HARK!

Increased .tariffs affect only a small part of tho freight service. They will argue thero was no agreement of any kind when tho Increases were pro posed.

I havo nut yot visited tho wostorn and far southorn districts, hut thoro is no doubt that the crop will exceed and excel those of former years. I'ricus will ho good, too, I holievo. "Tho pruno crop in western Ore gon will uot ho as largo as that of last year, hut tho casteni Oregon crop will ho much hotter. Prices which will ho offored for prunes will ho excellent, for tho reason that thu California crop will ho extremely small. Oregon probably will ho tho only state to produce n normal prune crop.

The lato storm in thu .Mis sissippi valley, nud in thu fur eastern applo growing districts, injured tho crops so badly that I doubt if thero will ho enough of the fruit to supply tho demand, although thu Oregon crop will ho unusually large. Oregon may surpriso tho world this year whoa its crop of grapes aro market ed.
