Steward accused 'of pass. rates will lie the result of the im-lng a worthless check oti Clncndo and provemonts being installed by the Ashpolo of Eacle Point ..ml nf .i. Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company in this city. Local service will be increased by the installation of five new switch boards one of which is already in operation nml the others in various stages of completion. Six switch boards have been in ii!c for some ltt- tlo time ami (bo mUVtions will al most double the capacity of the plant. Each board contains 1(50 con nections and is handled by one oper ation. Thirteen operators arc now employed and when the work ad vances the further sen-ices of four moro will je required. This arrangement will allow each operator to handle the calls quicker and moro accurately. As there are l.r)00 telephone users it will be seen that the change will be n great ben efit. Toll rates between Medford and Gold Hill, Woodville and Gold Hay will bo reduced from J." cents for a three-minute talk to 13 cents foi that length of time and from 10 cents for ench additional minute of over time to f cents for each ndditionn minute. A new switch boanl is nNr being installed at Woodville which will better the sen-ice and give long er hours for communication. The work will require from four tr five weeks to complete but when fin ished will bo a great iinprovemen' to telephone users. J. J. Htichter commercial manager, and C. E. An dcrson, general foreman, are doinp all in their power to give Jfedforc and vicinity the most efficient sys tern in this part of the country am aro in n fair way of accomplishing it froudlng Mrs. G. Owing of a $tS board bill was fined $23 by Justice Taylor Friday afternoon, Ho was convicted on only one count as the matter of the check was not brought up. , MAKING MEDFORD THE BEST CITY IN AMERICA (Continued from rnsre 1.1 piled about on the streets of the oit Fifteen thousand sacks are held as-resen-c force in the warehouse ii case a freight tie-up should occui so that the work Heed not be delayed Two large concrete mixers, en el cnpablo of turning out 1800 squar yards of concrete base a day arc ii use. The monthly payroll exceeds .30, 000. Twelve hundred barrels of crud oil aro burned daily. Three hundred and fifty barrels o asphalt are used ench day. One hundred and eighty cubii yards of baud and gravel passe through the plant daily. So great is the amount of ccmet used in tho city that Mr. Clark et timntcs that the sacks, which he wi return am on which he is nlluwci 10 cents each will amount to $40. 000. In other words, 400,000 sack of cement will be used on Med ford's streets. Twenty thousand dollars is paii monthly to the Southern Pacific fo. freight charges. Mr. Clark's office is in his autouio bile. From one part of the city t another ho is constantly traveling seeing that all parts of the work : progressing ns it should. East side wcM side, north and south one if hurled in his uuto until you bega to think that there is not a Mree in the city that has not some pal of his crew upon it. So long ha Mr. Clark been driving over torn up streets that he things nothing o hurdling sewer trenches, plowing through heaps of gravel and dodg ing heavy wagons and telegrapl poles. It is an education for a mai to ride with him, although it seemt at times as if your education woub be brought to an abrupt end. As In drives Jib, uuto ho is driving a bi;. job. On the afternoon I was out with him. Wo went first to where tlu lingo grader, operating like a har vester, was tearing up the roadlud and piling the dirt onto dump wag ons. Fifty men are at work in this ciow and they aro tearing up thr streets in fust shape. After a word or two there with Ihu foreman Mr. Clark hurried mo down to where i. largo gang was engaged in putting in the concrete curb and gutter. This gang is spread out for some distance and contains over 100 men. Now wo visited tho concrete lay ers whoro 25 men aro employed. Thoso men aro all experts with the exception of a few muekors. A small rail track runs up un incline to the top of a huge mixer, run by a large gasoiluo engine. Up this track are hauled cars of material, which is dumped into tho mixer. From tho mixer it passes into large carts espo- to where it is hehitf laid on tho streets. Here is a crew of six men. who are experts at spreading the con " mi mai a uuiiorm grade i maintained. Thi is put down rap idly. Then in three or four days the crew handling the binder follow.-.. From the concrete mixers we went to tho south end of Central, where the large paving plant is in opera tion. Here is a plant that represents the latest ideas in the art of paving Hugo vats of boiling asphalt are seen as well as great ovens in which the material with which the iisphalt is mixed is heated. There is a vat amount of noise and great clouds of dust. Men grimy with dirt peer nt you from all part of the huge plant and it is with relief that one com pletes a tour of inspection and get out into the sunlight again. Crude oil is burned and is kept in a hugi concrete tank beneath tho iil.7t There is nothing of a temporary or of n makeshift order to be seen here. The asphalt wearing surface is put down by a gang of 15 men, all of uiemuuriy negroes. This pmj. 0f men is one. ot the most expert men in this line of work on the Pacific coast. They spread the material and do the finishing. One could write columns nbout the big job of the stables, of tho blunt. smith shops, of the oil room, of buy ing axle grease by the barrel, of the fire department, of the thousand ami one countless details which are in cluded in this huge job. That Mr. Clark is prepared for an emergency u nearly every kind in shown by the fact that he has even erected a tank at the plant in which he keeps several thousand gallons of water for ue in case the city supply should fail. It would be something entirely unex pected indeed that would catch him napping. So thorough is the syMem to which the work i reduced thnt if a foreman should stop a man for u half hour from hauling gravel in or der that he might haul n bit of lum ber the office force would know it thnt evening. System is the keynote f the whole affair. Every man J timed on his trips between the plant and the street and every load of ma terial is checked up. There are no leaks. It is a big job handled in a big way. some day get out of your nit and go out and watch it. It is well worth while. The compnny lays nn nsphalt pavement which is shown to be very successful wherever it has been laid. Pi rul ll...

And after all, thai is the que big essential. J. , MMB fc -- --- . .-. - i.i. .... , .. i i . i . i i i - .! iJ -g arSrrzzr...
