Brief Mention of Our City's Beautiful Homss Where Located and
by Whom Owned Fruit Orchards, Berries and Vege
tables in Abundance and Flowers Galore.
Pen Picture of the Most Beautiful and Thriving City In South
ern Oregon-Surrounded by Rich Mineral and Agricul
tural Land and Unsurpassed Fruit Farms.
One of thrt prettiest atreets in
Medford and upon which there are
many fine residences and well kept
lawns and gardens is North B
1 street. The street entire seems par
ticularly adapted for lawn improve
ments and the good people who re
side thereon are not slow to im
prove the natural advantages given
them. Were your reporter called
upon to decide the must cosy and
home-like placft 011 the street he
would be in duty and conscience
hound to exclaim '"all of them."
The first place we top at to pencil
a few notes is that owned by
lliS. OAKf. T. JONES.
Mr. Jones' beautiful home is on
First street between A and B. It
is the property formerly owned by
Ex-Councilman J. V. .Short and is a
true picture of the ideal home.
There are four acres in the plat, a
good portion uf which is well set
out to fruit and berries. Facing
Fin-l street is the fine two story
resilience around which is a fine
lawn and flower garden and several
leuutiful fhude trees. Mr. Jones
has been a resident of Medford only
since last May but ample lime h:t-
been given him to arrive at the con
cIumoii that it is without a doubt
the bert city to live in in Southern
Oregon. He was formerly from
Corvallis, Montana, at which place
he was engaged iu stock raising and
civil engineering. He was at one
lime a member of the stale legisla
tive assembly elected on the re-
publican ticket. The gentleman is "g which was so badly shattered

of buildings and grounds. j The southwest corner of Fourth
Adjoining Mr. Jones on the westjnl B streets is owned and occu
and at the brad of B street is theiPied by Mr. F. Hubbard. There is
nicely laid out and conveniently
arranged home of
u a. P. T. LAWToX.
Mr. Lawton has an acre and a
half of ground, but it is so thickly
planted to all. varieties of fruits,
vegetables and De-ries that one
would almost believe the plat to
contain double that amount of land.
t
Mr. L. hasa finely arranged and very
attractive res;
which are cov
vered with vines of the
passion flower and full of blooms.
The premises throughout show care
ful attention duti to the skilled
hand of Mr. B. Uice, Mr. Lawton's
father-in-law. The vegetable gar
den is amply filled wilh all that
heart could wish for in that line

for "F'ggtng," pumpkins half the

well, everything immense. In the
flower garden is a treat for the eves
of all who have a fondness for the
beautiful. Mrs. Lawton has seven
ty-five different varieties of ever
blooming roses which she cares for
with a tenderness akin to the de
votion usually bestowed upon our
pets of real life. Mr. Lawton is for
merly from llock county, Wiscon
sin, and has resided in Medford six
years, lie is the Medford manager
for the well known implement bouse
of Mitchell-Lewis it Staver com
pany. From this place we cross to
the corner of B and Second 6treet
where resides
MR. P. MCGEE.
The property is owned by I. J.
Phipps. Mr. McGee is from East
ern Oregon where he was extensive
ly engaged in 6tock raising. His
vocation is, at present, that of a
teain6ter and is now out in the hills
with Mr. Leadbetter's railroad par
ty. He will be engaged this com
ing season in operating Mr. Bebee's
threshing outb't. lie has resided
iu Medford only about a year.
MR. S. H. MURRAY.
Between Second and Third streets
and fronting on B is where the good
natured 8. 11. Murray has anchored
a base. The property occupied by
this gentleman is owned by John
Dyer, of Jacksonville. Mr. Murray
is formerly front Illinois but has re
sided iu California and Oregon
twenty two years. He is one of the
eiirly-day miners of California and
to him belongs tre honor of having
picked up the largest nugget of gold
ever found in the famous Illinois
valley $817 in clear gold. Mr. M.
is now engaged in gathering up
farm produce of almost all nature Rosenthal, the Seventh street cloth
and does such an extensive a busi- ier, and occupied by Mrs, L. M.
ness as to make it quite reuiunera- Culp, who gains a good competency

ME. F. FETSCH.
One notch nearer the city center
and on the corner of Third and B
streets is where the above gentle
man resides. Mr. F. is formerly
from 1 sklnnd. California. He has
resided in Medford since last fall
and during that time he has built
up a good, p.iving busi.iess in his
line, which is that of merchant
tailoring. He is a thorough, prac
tical cutter and fitter and deserves
the good run of work which he is
receiving. A recent purchase of
hi is a four acre tract of land in
the Mingus addition to Medford.
MRS. E. M. DEN I SOX.
On the corner of B and Third
streets is the very pleasant resi
dence of the above lady. She has
two lots and a very neat, cosy resi
dence about which is planted flowers
in great profusion, while the berry
and vtgetable gardens are produc
tive to a degree of great worth, and
all well cared for by Mrs. Denison's
brother. Mr. T. F. West, who re
sides with her. Mr. West is quite
an extensive land owner in and
about Medford. He owns several
town lots upon which are residences,
kept for rent. Another fine piece
of property owned by him ia the
tract of nineteen lots of from one
fourth to two and one-half acres
each, and near the center of which
is situated the new business college

a

On the southwest corner of B and
Fourth streets is the finely arranged
premises and home of
MR. G. U. HASKINS.
His lot embraces one quarter of a
block and is well planted to shrub
bery, flowers, fruit, berries and veg
etables. His house is a neat, cy
structure, a good portion of which,
together with a well kept lawn is
nicely shaded from the sun's scorch
ing rays by a grand, out-spreading
and beautiful oak tree. Flowers,
particularly roses, fill the yard wilh
a great labyrinth of varigated beau
ty. Aside from this property Mr. H.
owns a qu.irter of & block on the
corner of Sixth and F streets which
is a most desirable building spot.
There are also a couple of good res
ident lots on North C street, in the
Beatty addition, which are branded
with his ownership. This gentle
man is formerly from Fullerton.Neb.,
and has resided iu Medford nine
years. He was one of the pioneers
of the city and when he first cast
anchor here there was not a finished
building on what is now our prin
cipal business street. His business
is that of druggist, and he has con
ducted very successfully, and prof
itably, a well stocked drug store on
Seventh street for a number of years.
MR. W. W. CAROWELL.
Between Third and Fourth streets
and on the east side of B is where
V. VV. Card well reside. The prop
erty is vwned by T. F. est, is
nicely located and well kept. Mr.
Cardwell's vocation, right at the
present time, is that of 6h vine both
eyes in the direction of the expec
ted good sized gold brick which the
Comstock of Oregon mine will clean
up about the first of August. Mr.
C. is the locator of this famous min
ing property and is at present part
owner.
MRS. L. M. CCLP.
On the northwest corner of Fourth
and B streets is a very pleasantly
situated residence owned by S.
SECT
ia
boarders and those who partake of
tbe necessities of lite at her table
are not backward in recommending
her hostelry to their friends. Tbe
lady has resided in Medford seven
years, and is a native bora Rogue
river valleyian.
MB. F. W. I.CTKEMEIER.
One of the several fine pieces of
property on B street is that owned
by C. T. Nicholson and occupied
by Mr. Lutkemeier. The grounds
are nicely arranged and fruits; ber
ries and flowers abound. Several
fine shade trees give ample shelter
from the sun's rays and add beauty
to the surroundings. Mr. Lfltke

one year; came here from Portland,
but formerly from Germany He
has been connected with tbe South

practice of his profession. He has
office rooms at the residence. Mr.

because of enjoying better health
here than in California. The lady

1 -, - ,
peopie reside is a very pleasant one
and well taken of.
MR. a. x. WOODY
Has as well arranged residence and
grounds on the southwest corner of
B and Fifth street as you often find.
He has a fourth of a block, near
the center of which is a good, sub
stantial two story dwelling, sur
rounded by fruit trees and berries.
Mr. W. has resided in Medford only
about a year but sufficiently long
to convince him that our eity is the
acme of earthly existence and he
is as happy as a clam when the
tide is in. Aside from this piece of '
property the gentleman owns
'eighty acres of land three miles east
of Medford and the same is mostly
planted to a young orchard. He is
formerly from Jasper county, Iowa.
Adj. lining Mr. Woody's place on
the south ard situated on the cor
ner of Sixth and B street is one of
the most beautiful pieces of resi
dence property in Medford and ia
owned by
MR.O.W. GALLOWAT.
This property comprises & quar
ter of a block and upon which siauda
a very decidedly pleasant, home
like dwelling. On the east and
t-outh sides is a veranda over a
good portion of which grows rose
bushes and climbing vines. At the
sout h of the house is a fine lawn in
the center of which is a large
oat tree, and the afternoon sua dis-
resi-jturbs not the house occupants. At -
tbe north and east is as tine a fruit
and vegetable garden as has yet
been found in our pilgrimage. There
are berries a plenty, and as Bill
Nye says, they are ltd, rasp. Llaisk .
and straw. .Mr. Galloway is for-'
merly from Corvallis, Montana, and
has been a resident of Medford two
years.
