can return the compliment and feel
glad of the occasion. The Review
is a hummer and leads 'em all.
Is the case of Jas. Hards, which
has been on trial during the week,
the jury brought in a verdict of
manslaughter. The crime was com
mitted over twenty years ago a nd
was that of the murder of Mr. Ar
nold. Another payment on the pur
chase price of the Rogue River
Valley railroad was made May
first another indication which indi
cates that there is something sub
stantial back of the Med ford rail
road possibilities.

The business interests of Med
ford never were in a more prosper
ous condition than right now. All
branches are being ably taken care
of, and the farming community, as
well as our town's people, appreci
ate the fact that they can buy
more goods, and of a better .grade,
for a dollar in Medford than in any
other town in the valley.
President Cleveland pressed
the electric button at Chicago last
. Monday morning and the entire
machinery of the World's Fair was
by that one slight pressure , put in
motion. Very meagre, indeed, can
be the idea formed by those not
present of the immensity of that
gigantic, powerful machinery which
was thus placed in motion.
The city has been taken by the
teachers and it is in good hands
and will be carefully looked after.
The Mail bids them a hearty wel
come, and hopes that their treat
ment while here by our people will
be of such a nature as to ever be
treasured in their memory casket
as a priceless memento of a few
days pleasantly spent among us.
Unless the city council at Inde
pendence, this state, enforce the
Sunday saloon closing ordinance
the citizens propose to turn all their
cows and hogs loose in the streets
Tbey claim that the same city law
which compels them to keep their
' fitock off the streets, compels the
saloons to close on Sunday, and
they propose to fight it out on these
; lines.

The Mail wants to put up a job
on its advertisers. Our readers can
help ua. When you see an article
advertised in these columns and
you step into Jones' or Smith's
store to buy the article will you
say "I saw such and such an article
-advertised in The Mail. I would
like to look at it.'' This won't cost
you much trouble but it will let the
merchant know that you read his
advertisements. That's where it
will help us.
A Minnesota editor has one sub
scriber at least, that is a prompt
. paying one. The subscriber is ad-
dieted to the habit of looking upon
the wine when it is red, and every
time he gets on a spree he insists
on paying a year's subscription to
his local paper. He has already
paid his subscription to January 1,
1927. An effort is being made by
the press association to have the
brand of liquor this fellow imbibes
more generally placed on the mar
ket.
The Mail has received a com
munication from someone in Med
ford who we conclude has been
"sucked" by his girl, and he wants
us to publish a lot of gush telling
the rest of the boys to watch out
for her The communication will
not appear in these columns, and
while we think of it we want to say
that TE Mail is not a sewer
through which this kind of personal
slush can be drained off, neither
are its columns a receptacle for the
unloading cf personal grievances
between neighbors. If j-ou have
anything in the way of news, or a
worthy object, the merits of which
you wish to espouse, send in all you
have on hand and they will be
printed, but don't, send personal,
nonsensical trash. Our waste bas

Prof. Rigby has given proof of
his confidence in Med ford as the
educational center of Southern Ore
gon by perfecting arrangements for
the immediate construction of a
business college. The material is
now being placed on the ground
and work on the building proper
will commence inside of ten days.
The erection of this building will
necessitate the outlay of a large
amountof money and the institution
will prove of great value to Med
ford. Would it not be a very prop
er net for us to "chip in" and assist
Mr. Rigbv in his undertaking?
A
8ubscr5 mion DaDer bas been left at
The Mail office and all who foel
that they can make a contribution,
even though small, are kindly
asked to call at this office. Me
chanics who can donate a few days
work are also invited to register
their names. Subscriptions not
due until after building i com
pleted.
The Central Point correspondent
to the Orcgonian committed a se
rious error last week in stating to
that paper that three dollars per
day was being offered to miners in
that locality. While this may
have been true in perhaps one or
two instances, yet we doubt not but
that any number of men could have
been secured at a much Jess ngure
than three dollars. Our first duty
is to supply our home laboring men
r.-;th work to the greatest possible
extent and at as good a price as our
business will warrant. Men who
have lived among us and who help
to make our towns and country
prosperous are the ones to whom
we should lend our aid. The result
of giving out to the world the false
idea that we are paying a high rate
for wages, is quite liable to prove
disastrous to our country's good.
The Mail hopes little, if any cre
dence was put in the item and that
no more, of like nature will appear.

Installation of Rev. A. S. Foster.
Last Sunday evonlng at the Presby
terian church in Medford was celebra
ted tho installation of Reverend Alex,
S. Foster as permanent pastor of that
church. The church was crowded to
overflowing', many being obliged to
return to their homos without listening
to tho evening's program. Both the
Baptist and Methodist churches omit
ted their usual Sunday evening servi
ces and the members all gathered at
the Presbyterian church where tl3 pas
tors each took part in tho exercises of
the evening.
Rev. F. G. Strange, of Ashlaud, de
livered tho charge to tho pastor and in
such tin cusy humorous manner as to
cause many bursts of merriment
throughout the church. He spoke of
tho time several years ago when ho was
admitted to tho minister- by the Pres
bytery at Butler, Illinois, and fur
ther mentioned the fact that the gen
tleman to whom he was then supposed
to give out advice was a member of that
Presbytery. The idea of him riving ad
vice to Kev. Foster appeared to him
very ludicrous and ho would therefore
waive the advice part of tho program
and only make a few suggestions. Ho
suggested tho us3 of shoemaker's wax
to bu applied freely to the study chair
as well as tho use of that adhesive arti
cle between the pastor and his people.
The ingredients of this wax he stated
wore: First, personal character man
must live up to what ho preached;
Second. Studiousnes; third, Spirit
uality. He spoke further of the neces
sity of the pastor making calls upon
tho good brothers and sisters in all
parts of his pastorial field. Tho ad
dress, while not particularly serious,
was very interesting and contained
many suggestions, other than those
spokeu of, which, if followed closely,
would tend to weld more solidly the
link of friendship between the pastor
and his people.
These remarks were followed by a
very interesting talk from Rev. Wil
liams, in which he very ably pointed
out tho path over which the members
oi tho church should travel in order
that the most good bo accomplished by
a union of the labors ot both pastor and
congregation.
Somo most excellent music by the
choir was a very interesting pitrt of
the exercises. Two hymns and two
anthems were rendered very pleasingly.
The members of the chair are. Miss
Ada Barr. soprano: Miss F.-cca Schide
ler. alto; Mr. H. E. Baker, tenor: Mr.
John Gore, boss; Mrs. A. S. Foster,
obbligato soprano; Miss Maysie Foster,
organist.
At the close of tho services nearly
every person in the church made their
way to the front where they shook
hands trith Rev. Foster, extended con
gratulations aud expressed a wish that
he would Da permitted to remain with
them for many years and that his la
bor would be productive of much good.
These congratulations were not con
fined to members of bis own church,
but embraced all th-. other denomina-
"ons.memoen.oi met. nnsuan cnurcn,
being among them. There were also
several present at the services from
Jacksonville and Phoenix. Since It-.-v.
Foster's coming to Medford, some little
over threo months ago, eleven new
members have been admitted into the
church, showing conclusively that tho
gentleman is a very earnest worker in
the-interesla of his church and Chris
tianity. As a citizen, Mr. Foster is
every inch a gentleman and nil, wheth
er church members or not, have a
great regard for him and bis most es
timable family. Thk Mail, hopes his
stay with us may be one of great length
aud that his success may be exceeded
only by his ability to cope with tho
evils of unchristian life.
Jas. RoGKRS. of Grants Pass, was in
M-jdford yesterday looking over the
grounds for a present business loca
tion. C. M. Harvey, of Talent, was in
Medford Tuesday and in conversatino
with him upon the crop outlook ho was
enthusiastic and spoke witn emphasis
when he said, 'That for many years
there never were better propects than
right now in both cereals and fruit".
B. S. Webb and family took Wed
stlay morning's train for Oswego,

will visit a number of other relatives.
W. S. King came over from Bolt
last Thursday to do business in Med
ford. He has purchased a chunk of
real estate in our city and ere tho frosts

a good man to have around and a
hustler.
Prof. G. A. Savage, of Grants Pass,

other parts of the state and visit rela
tives, from there to Chicago and thence
to Winnipeg, Manitoba, and by that
time he'll have a very keen notion
that Medford needs his attention and
he will make a straight shot for home
