BLACKBURN WINS SUIT FOR WAGES Hay ttlackhum won his case against the Prospect Construction company, the Jury returning a ver dict In his favor. Utackburn was employed by S. M.

Through an agreement with . the Prospect Construction company Hawk paid his men, Ulnckhurn among others, with time cheeks 1 acalnst the company. Later It ls said the company Insisted on paying 70 cents on tho dollar on these; chocks, Muckburn sued for the fullj amount and won.

GEORGE) AS SHE ARRIVES IN THE "BRICK HOUSE" IN KLAW & ERLANGEIVS PRE-EMINENT ATTRACTION "REBECCA OFSUNNYBROOK FARM" AT THE MEDFORD THEATRE, THURSDAY NIGHT. The nicotine; was called to order by Ed. M. Andrew, who outlined briefly the benefit which would follow the development of such n property the Who Ledge mine, lie then n.skcd r ltcddy to outline the proposition. Dr. Iie'ddy dwelt at some length upon tho vnlno of such development work tolling in detail of las exper iences in oilier heotious where the wealth of n community depended en tirely upon its mines. He pointed to the fnet that a payroll of over fiOO men would follow the construction of the road which would be of vast bene fit to Medford. "To secure this payroll," slated Mr. Reddy, "the people of Medford need bill to see that n railroad is constructed to the Blue Ledge. To build such a road will require a half million dollars but we do not need iO raise nil of this aruomit. If we will subscribe a part of it, .$75,000, and start construction work building a low miles, then wo eon bond the pro perty nnd secure the money to com plete the road. I have been told by two bond houses that they would take those bonds and thus the com pletion of the road is assured. And Medford can easily raise $75,000. "Mr. Towne has assured me that he would build a plant nnd start the operation of the mine as soon as such a railroad is completed, nnd that he would guarantee a minimum tonnage of 2000 tons a month." Dr. Reddy then told how ho had happened to take the mntter up. Ap proached by Dr. Adkins nnd R. II. Whitehead, these men had offered to contribute a considerable amount to ward the building of such a road. Following this a number of other business men offered to come in rea lizing the advantages of the operation of the Blue Ledge. He had then tak en the matter up with Mr. Towne. "I have no faith in the Southern Pacific building a feeder," stated Mr. Reddy, "ns this has not been their lolicy in the past. So we must build it ourselves. And we can do it." Dr. Reddy then called upon a num ber of citizens to express their opin ion in regard to the mntter and not one sounded a note of opposition. AH of those who spoke ventured the opinion that such a move would prove of vast benefit to the city nnd valley. Gus Newbury was first called up on und after stating that he believed firmly in the movement stated that he would mulcc a very liberal contri bution to the cause when the sub scription commitleo should call upon him. In addition ho will use his in fluence with his friends in furthering the movement. Judge Colvig, when called upou, first took a rap at those in the aud ience who were not members of the Commercial club. "Those who do not help us in the club never built a rail road," he declared. Ho paid a tribute to the Medford spirit and stated that he had no doubt in the least but that tho task of rnUing tho necessary amount to start to work would be easy. William Ulrich was called upon to uddresb the meeting and after slating that pay rolls must be secured in this county offered to give as great u per cent of his wealth toward the move ment us did Dr. Atkins or Mr. Whitehead. J I. C. Garnet t told of tho days when development work was under way upon n large scale at Iho Blue Ledge und told of tho business it brought to Medford at that time. He made a pioBt enthusiastic address up on tho subject and urged everyone to help in as grent a degree as jiossible. W, II. Goro urged a wholehearted support of the movement and declar ed that lie had absolutely no doubt as to people of Medford and their attitude toward it. Any movement, proved meritorious, would find sup port by nil of the people of this city. Ho pledged his personal support. George Davis, George Putnam and E. K. Kelly also addressed the meet in and pointed out tho benefits which would ui'cruo to the, city with tho buildiog of huqIi a road. During tho evening soverul flings wuro tuken by Dr. Reddy und others a! the Southern Pacific and II, E. Lomibbury, general freight agent who was present was culled upon to au drosH the meeting. Mr. Lonusbury stated that ho was sure that the Southern' 'Pjuelfiu would lend its uid U tho peoylo of Medford. Ho Uo discontinued. I HOUCHTFATHERLOVER NEARLY MURDER SAN nKKXAIimXO.
