side was the incumb-ut of this offic"
under the Harrison administration, and
as other matters needed his attention j
he decided to resign his position and '
preferring to do so under the adminis
tration that appointed him he forwarded
his resignation to headquarters at
Washington and "the same was ac
cepted on the third of March. Here
is where the puculiarity of this move
comes in: Whiteside's resignation ac
cepted Maroh 3rd, March 4lh President
Cleveland was inaugurated, theoth was
Sunday and the 6th Spangler was ap
pointed. It therefore must follow that
Medford gets one of the first, if not the
first, appointment under President
Cleveland's regime. Mr. Spangler's
appointment was to take effect last
Monday, March 20lh, and on that day
all the paraphernalia of the office was

Birthdays and Native Fruits.

There were a numVr of relatives and
friends rresent and a most enjoyable
time was had. A sumptuous repast was
prepared by Mrs. Morey and the desert -
was matte up oi native I runs, tne
orange predominating, and which
were grown by-Mr. Morey, right here
in Medford. In the puddings were
rusins which were also raised aud cured
in Medford and the product of the same
garden from whence came the oranges.
THE Mail feels just a little tingling
ef pride in b ;ing ab!o to thus mentiou
oranges and raisins as among the tropi
cal fruits which cau be successfully
grown. in the Rogue river valley. The
wonderful possibilities of this country
are as yet in their infancy, but we are
always glad to make note of, and en
courage, the advent of new diversities
in fruit culture. We hope Mrs. Short
may live to celebrate many more birth
days and that Mrs. Morey may be en
abled to provide, not only native oranges
and raisias, but many more of the sev
eral tropical fruits.

up, and burn up the trash and filth that
has been accumulating in somj places,
for years, and by so doing improve the
sanitary condition of our city, as this
is more particularly the time Cf the

thus endangers the health of the peo
