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. A 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. We begin again this week our brief write-up of Medford. A week's rest has left us not one particle less appreciative of the beauties of the residence portion of the fairest, most enthusiastic, and best business-like city in the valley and whose roofs cover the most charita ble, sociable and best educated peo ple, collective) v speaking, of anv city in the world a broad lion, but a true one. asser- This meek we will finish our write-up of North B street and com mence on North C. Across the street from Mr. Gal loway' place which we spoke of two weeks ago and which we said was shaded by a large oak tree, but as said oak grows pears we have de cided to allow residents to diagnose their own trees hereafter.. But to return to our subject: On the south west corner of Sixth and li streets is the pleasant residence of MR. WM. ANGLE. The house, Mr. Angle boastfully asserts, is the first residence ever built in Medford. Aside from this place the gentleman owns a beau tiful three acre tract on the east side of Bear crH;k and upon which he has erected a very fine, large dwelling house. The place is in the infancy of its improvements but when it is fitted up in the style which its owner contemplates there 'will be none finer in Medford. Mr. Angle is the senior member of the firm of Angle fc Plymale, general mercantile dealers, which firm has conducted a very prosperous busi ness for the past nine years. Mr. Angle is a native of Pennsylvania and has resided on the Pacific coast for twenty-seven years. MR. I. A. WEBB. O.i the northeast corner of Sixth and B is nicely ensconce i our pop ular furniture dealer, Mr. I. A. Wtrbb. He owns a quarter of a block of land, in the center of which is a fine, large two story house, and this surrounded with a beautiful lawn interr-prsed at intervals with beds of rre flowers. Fruit trees of many different varieties are plenti ful while the berry and vegetable garden is well loaded with delica cies for the sustenance of mankind. Everything alout the place presents the appearance of thrift ard careful attention. Aside from this property Mr. Webb orns a fine two story brick building on Seveutn fetreet in which the gentleman conducts a good business in the furniture line. Mr. Webb also owns five acres of residence property in the Barr ad dition to Medford. He has resided in Medford nine years and is from Fullerton, "ebraska. ' MR. CG. JOHNSON. On R street between Sixth and Seventh is where the good natured and hard working gentleman who bears the above name resides. He has resided in Medford two years and is from Colorado Springs, Col. He tains a livelihood for himself and family by day labor, and being a handy man at all kinds of work he wants not for a job. MR. C. J. ELDER. On the corner of B and Seventh streets is where the above gentle man conducts a grocery store and also has his residence at the rear At the rear of the store building is a fine garden in which stands a peach tree of wonderous growth and in 8ymetery ef shape it is a lieauty to look upon. Mr. Elder's other real estate interests are 140 acres of choice farming land in Josephine county, eighty acres of which are now under cultivation. Mr. Elder is formerly from Pennsylvania and has lived in Medford eight years. There are without a doubt more residences on C street than any other in Medford. The majority of these arc of a kind modeled close ly after the true American home. Some are more elaborate than oth ers yet all are well kept and their occupants as happy and contented as this world's trials will admit. It is quite a walk to the extreme north dwelling house on this street, but this fact don't affect the pleas ant surroundings a particle. MR. A. D. SCOTT'S Residence is the first place of abode on this street, coming into Medford from the north. We triod to effect an entrance to the yard but we found a lock and chain between us and the insido, consequently did not enter. It i3 a nice place, however, and contains about seven acres of land, nearly all of which is set out to fruit, berries and vegetables. Mr. Scott has been a resident of Medford five years and came here from Nebraska. Mr. Scott and his good lady are now stopping with their daughter, Mrs. J. H. Faris hence the lock and chain on the gate. A short distance toward Medford from Mr. Scott's residence is the home-like residence of MR. II. HOLLI.NGSWORTH. The gentleman has a two-acre tract of land which is being well tilled and which presents a general appearance of thrift. lie has set out about sixty fruit trees, forty grape vines, and all varieties of small fruits. Their flower garden is one of beauty and pleaty of flowers. Mr. H is from Council Bluffs, Iowa, and has been a resi dent of Medford for four years. He is a contractor and builder by trade and is at present employed upon Dr. Odgers' residence. His son, Harry, conducts a bake shop on seventh street. A little nearer toward town is where MR. JOHX O'CONDER Is located. Mr! O'Conder ha a two-acre tract of land which he is improving as rapidly as possible. It is u fine pi ice for the culture of fruit and with that point in view he is everlastingly keeping at it when his time not otherwise oc cupied will permit. He is from Umaha, Nebrjka; has lived in Medford three years. H w a car penter by trade but is not averse to turning bis hand to any job of work that happens his way. A few rods off from C street aud on the road leading toward the bus iness college is where MR. JOHN W. FERGCSOX Is domiciled. Mr. Ferguson is from Baker City, Oregon, and has lived in Medford nearlr two vears. ' He is a good, honest, hard working man and gains a comfortable liveli hood for his familv bv doing sec tion work on the Southern Pacific. Stopping with him is Mr. Geo. Moenk house, a laborer, also from Baker City. MR. K. B. BRADBURY. This gentleman has a home in this locality, North C street which, while it has been but a short time under cultivation shows many improvements brought .about by the industrial hand of its owner. Mr. B. owns about two acres of land, and has planted 150 fruit trees, all doing finely many of them bearing fruit this season and only between two and three years old. He as well has nearly all the different varieties of berries grown and all are bearing fruit in large quantities this season. The gen tleman is a carpenter by trade and has steady employment, by yearly contract, with the Messrs. Skeel t Son planing mill. He is from Neligh, Nebraska, fcnd has lived in Medford four years. Just around the corner and on a spur street leading off from C is where we find PKOF. E. P. HAMMOND. This gentleman has an acre of ground and it is so densley planted to different varieties of fruit and shade trees, berries, flowers and all '. manner of shrubbery as to carry the impression to one making a detour of the grounds that at least ten acres of ground has been trav ersed. He has about 150 fruit trees planted many of which are bearing fruit this year, and of won derous size and flavor. He is mak ing a specialty of growing as many different and choice varieties of fruit us are obtainable. We saw here, for the first time, growing figs. His berry patch has many varieties of berries, including the Japanese wine berry. His shade trees are oak and English walnut. In front of his house are growing roses in profusion, the blossoms of some of them measuring six inches across. A large bunch of pampas grass is also found close by, also almond trees, and the whole enclosed by a young Monterey Cyprus hedge Mr.. H. is from Kansas and has called Medford his home for five years. He is a school teacher by profession and holds the highest jgrado certincato granted to any man in the above state. He has also studied and practiced both law and medicine. We have dwelt more at length upon Mr. Hammond's place than upon some others because of the fact that, before closing,, we wanted to so shape this brief sketch that we could point an index finger at this one paragraph: From this acre of ground, a few chickens and a cow, a family of two people are given a good comfortable living, and in the language of Mr. Ham mond, "we live like king9." Com ment is unnecessary to convince : those of our readers who are home seeking of the fertility of the Rogue river vallev. A Leadar. Since its first introduction, Electric Bittars, has gained rapidly in popular (avor, until now it is clearly in the lead among pure medicinal tonics and alter atives containing nothing which per mits its use as a beverage or intoxi cant, it is recognized as the best and purest medicine for all ailments of stomach, liver or kidney. It will cure sich beadach, indigestion, constipation, and' drive malaria from the vstem. Satisfaction guaranteed with each bot tle or money will be refunded. Pries 50c per bottle. Sold by G. H. Hasinas. flow to Travel and Camp Cheaply, Written for The Menrcao Mail. Talent, Ore., Aug. 1, 1893, Having driven a team from the Atlantic to the Pacific and camped more or less for 40 years, I would volunteer a few scraps of advice. It is well to have a light spring wagon with a box at least 8 feet long and 12 inches high, so that two persons might sleep in it. If there be four or more persons it is well to have a tent large enough to accommodate all. The wagon might have a set of bows and reg ulation cover, or a post set in sta phs and a pole across the top with any kind of cloth cover on might do for a wagon or tent. If a long journev be contemplated, ana j money be plenty, something more substantial might be in proper place. A heavy set team of lOoO lb. horses of no less than 5 year olds, and gentle, is best, A Jersey cow along is well. It is also well to have une or more extra ponies along so that the young folks might ride and drive the cow thus lighten the load and afford recreation for the party. If you are all strangers on the road it is well to take & chart of your road from someone who has been over it and is acquainted with the "turn offs" and the camping places. It is well to have some bacon to use instead of lard or but ter, as they are liable to melt It is also well to have flour and pota toes. An old pan to put on the fire will save the coffee pot and all other vessels from being soiled. A dutch oven with heavy lid is best to bake bread in, bat pan-cakes flipped are good for breakfast any place. If you have a guide along who is well acquainted on the route, it is well. If not, and your party is nuiherous, it is best to send a person of good judgment in ad? vance so as to avoid mistakes and also select good camping grounds. If hunting, fishing or Denying is the oDject in view, it is wtll to leave a reliable person in charge of the camp to guard and have meals ready at the proper time, and above all things, . be courteous towards each other and keep in good humor, else you might spoil all the fun. One good man to cook is better than half a dozen girls. I find that a second-hand kerosene case and cans are good to hold provisions,, and all other cans should be square to carry economically. Ax Old Vet. Guaranteed Cure. We authorize our advertised drug gist to sell Dr. King's Jfew Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds, up on this condition. If you are afflicted with a cough, cold or any lung, throat or chest trouble, and will use this rem edy as directed, giving it a fair trial, ana experience no relief, you may re turn the bottle and have your money refunded.

Investigation Invited. Of course it is proper to inquire about hal any man says, Xs it true? The most rigid investigation la. invi ted into tba testimonials published in behalf ot Hood's Sarsaparilla. Special attention is called to the high charac ter of the persons whosa testimonial are published by the proprietors of this, medicine, as evidenced by their occu pations or indorsements. In faeW no matter whero- a testimonial in- behalf ' of Hood's Sarsaparilla may. b from,, it is reliable and as worthy-of confidence; as if it oamo from 'your roost trusted neighbor.
