Mrs. Redden visited with us on Fri day afternoon and was well pleasrd with the work in the high school. LAKE CREEK C&EEKXET3. Fry and Rector are engaged in the slump business, also. The large ditch enterprise com menced by the llanleyg some time ago is still unfinished. Mrs. Martin Bowls, on the south fork of Butte creek, was visiting friends in Jacksonville, recently. The snow on the surrounding foot hills is fast disapearing and stock is looking remarkable better and stockmen are feeling good. Chas. Turpin, of the North Fork, was in Jacksonville a few days ago on business and reports the roads being in horrible condition. Win. Daily, one of Butte creek's most energetic farmer's, is making a furious charge on both stump and tree as well as small stool grubs prepairing his wild lands. Up on the Flag ranch Mother earth has been compelled to give up many stool grubs varrying in size from a common silting stool to a speaker's stand. Chas. Turpin is superintending the cutting of an irrigation ditch, something like a mile in length, for John Savage, of Salt creek. Dick Slinger is engaged in cut ting quite a lengthy ditch for the purpose of irrigating, tapping the north fork of Butte creek. Mrs. Grieves, of Lake creek, had a surgical operation performed two weeks ago and is doing well. She is expoeted home in a short time, we are glad to learn. Not loner sincn a crinnln of nur young niuirous waixeu up to me high mountains to take in the fes tive deer, but found themselves surrounded with snow up to their bodys and returned hungry and disconsolate. We believe the averago Butte creeker has the greatest assortment of profanity in store for present use when he goes out to plow sticky soil, of any people -we ever heard trying to do the matter justice is a trying ordeal. We say boys, use kind and pursuasive words, they will be just as effective. Zip. 1 7 " . A Leader.

Lawton has taken the tele graphy craze, and is taking lessons in Medford. Frank True made a pleasant call at the C. C. C. home Sunday. Come again Frank. Mr. John Frye was delivering wood to some of his customers in Medford lust week. We are sorry to learn that Char lie Dickinsons wife and little daugh ter are worse again. Harry Wortman has a new stump puller and is extracting more stumps and roots than all the dentists in the country. Several of our ranchers have run out of hay and are having to buy, bat fortunately there is plenty of hay for sale in the neighborhood. He that subscribcth . not for the Medkohd Majl, ktiowetli not how iHtich he misseth. Subscribe aud be convinced of this great truth.

C's spring poetical in clinations began to bud this week, but the Jlast frost nipped them somewhat, and we feel disposed to spare the "dear people" yet a little longer. Wilmer McPhcrson took his stump puller to Medford and moved the building owned by C. W. Palm opposite the Clarendon to. its pres ent location. It is the boss thing to move buildings. Mr. G. Naylor has built a fine wood house, built board and picket fences, re-laid his rail fences and is making many other substantial im provements on his fine ranch this spring. The lane from the Jacksonville road down to Mr. J. Wall's place is in a terrible condition, and it takes a good pilot to stear clear of all the holes, and woe to the chap that drives into one of them unless he wants to go to China cross lots. This is a road that is traveled a great deal and our road supervisor should see that it is properly fixed before another winter. Miss Jessie Spencer attended the teachers institute at Jacksonville, received a certificate and intends to teach this Fpring. One of Miss Jessie's Medford friends realizing that a whip is an indispensable piece of furniture in a school room, presented her with one. We opine that the first kid that don't toe the scratch will will v ish he had. C. C.C We Will Take Her In. The Hawaiian annexation treaty has been handed to the senate by the committee on foreign affairs, with the recommendation that it be ratified. A part of the treaty reads like this: Tn Article One the government of Hawaii cedes from the date of the exchange of the ratifications, to the United States absolutely all rights of sovereignity of whatsoever kind in and over the Hawaiian .Islands and their dependencies, such islands henceforth to be an integral part of the territory of the United States. Article 4 prohibits further immi gration of Chinese laborers into the Hawaiian islands until Congress shall otherwise provide. Further more, Chinese persons of the class es now or hereafter excluded by law from entering the United States will not be permitted to come from the Hawaiian islands to other parts of the United States. Article 5. The United States as sumes the existing public debt of the Hawaiian islands with the pro viso that such liability shall in no case exceed $3,2o0,000. Articlo Six agrees to pay ex Queen Liliuokalani an annual pen sion of $20,000 during her life, and to Princess Kaiulani a lump sum of $150,000, provided they in good faith submit to the authority of the United States Government and the local government of the islands. How It Became Popular. When people find an article much superior to anything of the kind they have ever before used, they are almost sure to toll their friends about it, and especially if they know of some friends needing such an article. Dealers also soon learn the true value of their goods, and when they have an articlo of an unusual merit they will almost invari ably mention the faet to their custom ers. This accounts in a great measure for the largo sale on Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. . Her is an instance. W. L. Noedham, a prominent citizen and business man of Orrsburg, Mo., has been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for several years anl recom mends it to his customers, because in his experience it has proven to be the best for colds, aroup and whooping cough. He says it is the most popular medicine that he handles, and gives the best satisfaction. 50 cent bottles for sale by G. H. Haskins, Druggist. CENTRAL POINT. lion. J. W.

Central Point is still working on the flume proposition, and the past few days some of our leading business men have been holding secret sessions, with apparently good results, but they have so far refused to give out anything for publication.

NEWS IS GENERAL. "he troops have departed from Topeka, Kansas the republicans won the fight and things have quieted down. Governor Pennoyer has appoint ed Mr. C. C. Beekman, of Jackson ville, a member of the board of re gents of the state university. - The Grand Ledge, Michigan, Ledger reported the marriage of a Mrs. Barnes, who subsequently called upon the editor and de manded a correction of the state ment. The next day the Ledger said: "We fully believe that Mrs, Barnes is not married, nor do we think she ever, will be." An effort was made to organize a farmers' alliance lodge in Ashland, but it was discovered that it was against the rules of the order to es tablish an alliance in an incorpora ted .town. However, it has been arranged that Progress Alliance No. 50, of Talent, which is the most prosperous, active and wide-awake alliance in Southern Oregon, and probably in the state, will hold two of its four monthly meetings in Ashland. .

John Phillip Quiun, a reformed gambler is making a crusade against gambling in the east. He has his faro bank, roulette wheel and cards with him. Instead of giving advice he demonstrates v practically what frauds all gamb ling games are. He will take any pack of cards presented and read them as fast from their backs as one can from their face. He shows up the vest "hold out" the complete control of the little $300 faro bank, bringing out any color he pleases; the absolute control of the roulette wheel. He remarks that in all his twenty-five years of experience he has never opened a gambling house in any city, that he did not haw the protection of a police, and when they came around for their money the question was never asked, "Where did it come from?" but only, "How much have you for us?" Pneumonia, At no time in the history of thecoun- -try has pneumonia been so prevalent as during the winter months of the last two years. Iu times past a com mon cold was not considered at all se rious, but of late years the great ten dency ot colds to result in pneumouia has made poople apprehensive. The trouble is that colas are not always properly treated. No preparation con taining opium, wild cherry or chloro form should be used, as they have a tendency to dry up & cold, whereas it should be looseuea and the lungs re lieved. It has been observed that -when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is used the cold never results in pneumo nia. The reason is that this remedy stimulates the mucous membrane which lines the throat and lungs, to a healthy action, caus;s a free expectoration, throwing off the poisouess matter, and counteracts any tendency toward pneu monia.
