Meditord, Frioat, July 21, 1S93. ' " A good; live, progressive city of Over 2,000 people and no photogra pher that's Med ford. The Central Point News came out last week again none the worse for being one week a derelict but improved generally under the guid ance of Editor Ford. A Chicago banker predicts that " by the end of next month the banks of the city will be hunting for bor rowers to take tho money they won't let out now for government bonis. Axd now comes a crank who pro Doses to drill a hula through the the earth. The moon became a dead planet by its waters Gilding access to the internal fires, putting them out and then congealin This man should be enjoined m Why does not some millionaire found a free college for the educa tion of poor and bright boys? There - is more material in thousands of these boys than there is in an equal '. number of rich men's bovs. It " would be an easy matter to single j out the boys who should have the " benefit of the institution. Will HavU Etcetric Lights Perhaps. Mr. E. C. Sharpe, or Portland, Ms in Medford this week endeavoring to ar range for putting in ati electric light plant in our city. This ho will do provided the city will give him a fran chise. He asks no bonus but expects, of course that tho city will agree to take a certain number of lights. Tho mattor, so far as Mr. Sharpa is con cerned, will bo sottled to-day, or so soou as a conference can bo had with Mr. Leadbetter and the city council. Mr. Sharpe proposes to put in a plant with a capacity of twenty-five arc and 500 incandescent lights and will have the same in running order by tho first of October if tho franchise is gran ted. The cost of the plant will be near $10, C00. The convenience and general usefulness of those lights are known to almost everybody and wa will wager a guess that not a man in Medford is there but what would bo in favor of granting the franchise. There is prob ably nothing which so greatly improves a city and gives it so metropolitan an air as do electric lights. The Washburn Circus. From Daily Orogonlan. The L. W. Washburn circus inado a fine parade through the prlucipat streets yesterday morning and showed to two piicked houses afternoon and evening at Twenty-fourth and Iialoigh streets. Ninety-five per cent of tho matinee audience was composed of la dies and children, and at night people were turned away by hundreds. The baby elephant, Cupid, seemed to bo the chief attraction. Ho is tho first ele phant in miuaturo ever seen ou the Pacific coast and is a whole show in himself, Tho performanoo is very creditable, tho fine horses and hand some wardrobes beiug especially no ticeable. The acrobatic, gymnastic, Wild West" and hipiodrome features succeed each other in rapid succession. Russia Is With Us. Tho Broomcorn Waves High. i choha, writes a scientific observer. So doss creat cold, vhen there is lio coal in the bin, he might have added. . One need not go far to find causes of acute melancholia. This feeling strikes us most forcibly when we Etart in to "run off" our one thous and edition of TriE Mail with a . Washington hand press on a real . snug, hot dav. Is another column appears a positive denial," from Mrs. J. B. Waft, of any act of violence or ill conduct toward her from her hns vband. Since it is proven that there . was no foundation for the rumors -" made current a few week3 ago the ia-st that can be done by those "itbq circulated these vile reports is o publicly refract them. Such an act is due Mr. Wait and his family. It is a queer notion some people ' eet into their heads. The .tele grams tell of a woman in New Jer sey who is 101 years of age and who is now engaged in putting an end to her davs by starvation. If an indulgent Providence will allow U3 to creep up to that many years we'll promise her she wont be in sulted by our patting an untimely end to our existence from lack of the necessary sustenance. It is altogether probable that .'the petit burglaries which have .. been perpetrated in Medford of late are the work of some of the bovs of our town. If this be the case it is high time a full stop was registered before they shall have arrived at a point of more desperate outlawism . It becomes U3 all to appoint our selves a committee of investigation ' ere it be too late and we are mad the butt of their thievish notions instead of our neighbors. The Medford basj'ball broom has swept clean, and a broad wide. The small hamlet to the north of us has a reputation but it doesu't run in tho base ball chann-'l. Last Tuesday occurred in Modlord a rod hot game of ball be tween Medford and Grants Pass teams Literally speaking it could hardly be anything else as the thermometer climbed to tho top board of tho back stop and the torridity that lingered about the grounds was boiled down to a degree quite warm, bu it was several desrrees hotter in the Grants Pass camp thau around where our hoaii bovs were basking in delight at their visitors' discomfiture. The game was opcued at one thirty and from the verv first it was evident that tho visiting team wasn't to bo counted high oa the score board while our bovs had figured thy would wipe up the dust with the blue pants of their combatants and spriukle tho grounds with their tears of remorse and mis placed confidence. Tho M;dford boys had seven innings and scored twenty four counts, while the Grants Puss team had eight inuiugs and by dex trous efforts rolled up nine points on the tally sheet. The visiting club was made up of tho following gentlemen: G. H. Irving, c: Fred Welch, p; Fnd Mench, 1st b; Bert Warren, 2nd b; Root. Deweree, 3rd b; Roy Barllett, r. f: Tod Wilson, f; D. E. Dotson, 1. f; Harry Peter son, s; Geo. Slover, scorer. Tho Medford boys were, Fred Weeks, c; Charlie Boardman, p; Alf. Weeks, 1st Geo. Davis, 2nd b; John Angle, Srd Ed. Redden, s; U. M. Damon, r. f: A. Galloway, s. f; John Stewart, I. f: Will Fredenburg. scorer. E. H. Faw- cett, umpire. The game was interesting through out, our boys playing a good, steady game, while the visitors 'iost their heads'? and were badly rattled. Two particularly good plays were made. One bv Fred Weeks when his bat caught the second ball given him and seat her a long wavs outside of the fielders, making a home run with ease Another one was when three men were op. bases and Damon took the bat He sent the ball over into the tall timber, near Jacksonville, let in three men and slid over the home plate himself. Grants Pass papers scorched our team right hard, so the boys say, on the game they played in that village oa tho Fourth, but The Mail is not going to pay them bacK in kind. Tho Grants Pass boys are gentlemen, every one of them, but they can't play ball. Of course this is not their fault. 1 hey have practiced enough for a league team but they couldn't twirl the sphere with an aptness equal to Med ford. It has been learned from high Rus sian sources that tho Russian govern ment has decided to maintain a perma- uent fleet of warships in United States waters, and tho port of New York will be made Russia's Western naval con ter. It w)ft announced Monday that representatives of the Russian govern ment had made overtures to the Erie drydooks establishment to undertake the care and overhauling of all war ships maintained by Russia in Ameri can waters. The opinion was ventured in naval circles last evening that in view of the likelihood of the Bvhring sea cases going against Great Britain and the late announcement that Eng land is reinforcing her naval force at Esquimault, the proposed action of Russia is of great importance to the United States. , AT MEDFORD Wednesday, July 26. Afternoon and Night Leon W. Washburn's Great European RAILROAD SHOWS IT'S A SERIOUS BUSINESS. From Medford to Klamath Falls. Last Saturday's Portland Telegram has tho following telegram, dated at San Francisco, July 15th: W. H. Mills, land agent for tho Central Pa cific, will leave for Portland Suudav night on an important trip. There he will mset a number of London, New York and Oregon capitalists who are interested ia a project to build a rail road from Medford, on the California & Oregon road, about "0 milts eastward to Klamath Falls, formerly known as Linkville. Mr. Mills' business with the party is to go with them over the proposed line and grade timber lands belonging to his company. The capi talists alluded to desire to buy up the timber land tributary to the proposed 1 road, as building the road is only a part of a great lumber enterprise. For about half the length of the line the Oregon & California owns the odd numbered sections, and this land the promoters propose to buy. Among The Churches. Three Mlnjj Circus.

The treasurer of Douglas county is Ehort " $23,000 in accounts and has resigned his office. His bonds jnen will make good the amount. The Boseburg Plaindealcr has this ' to say regarding the defalcation: The investigation is not yet finished and more disclosures are expected. - It ii believed that there has been a general brokerage business in coun- . iy warrants to the detriment of the - county, and it may take, consider able time to ferret it out, as the law " requiring the date when warrants .are received for taxes to be indorsed on tho back thereof has not been complied with. This oversight will . greatly retard proceedings, and may - prevent an accurate estimate of in terest unlawfully charged against the county. V. A. Frater, the re ' Jmblicaji candidate for treasurer at the last election, has been appointed by the county court treasurer for the remainder of the term. Is the Law Being- Complied With? We print below that part of the new laws passed at the last session of the legislature relating to county treasur ers' payment of orders: He (the countv treasurer) shall pay ail orders of the county clerk when presented, if there be money in the treasury for that purpose, and write on the fae! of fruch order the date of re demption and his signature. If there be no funds to pay such order when presented, he shall endorse thereon -not paid for want of funds," and the date of such presentment, over his sig nature, which shall entitle such order thenceforth to draw legal interest; provided, that such interest shall cease t i-om the date of notice by publication in some newspaper printed or circula ted in his county, to be given by the county treasurer, that there are funds to redeem such outstanding orders, which notice such treasurer shall give when he has as much as ono thousand five hundred dollars belonging to th county fund. Any county treasurer failiiij? to comnlv with the require ment of this section for the period of ten dava. shall unon conviction thereof, be punished by tine not less than five hundred nor more man una wuuwuu dollars Are the county treasurers of tho state of Oregon calling in county or ders according to the above law?
