A Mall Reporter Continues His Write Up of the Prettiest and Most En terprising: City In Oregon Some of the Residences of C Street as Kaleidoscoped In His Rounds Fruit and Flowers Ualore. MR. ISAAC WOOLP. is prohablv not a more There valuable niece of property on all of North C street than is that owned by Mr. Woolf, on the northwest c orner of Sixth and C streets. Mr. W. has pome choice fruit trees put out on his lot and it was here wher grew those cherries that occasioned sn many remarks, as to their size and th'j quantity prowing on one tree, of passers-by. The gentleman hns a residence and grocery store build ing upon this lot, but is going to enlarge his store this fall. He now has lumber on the ground for a store building 24x42 feet and two stories high. The first floor will le used by himself for the sale of groceries and the second floor will be used for public hall purposes. Aside from this property Mr. W. owns a resident lot on North D street. He is a practical horticul turist and does considerable work in the pruning line. He is from bant Cruz, Calif., and has lived in Medford n;ne Years. MR. WM. SIMMOXS place of residence, and business as well, is situated on North C street between Fifth and iMXth streets Mention was made of this place iwc werKs ago when owned bv Mr Young's. Mr. Simmons has since purcnasea tiie property ami is now 1 conducting a .-rcond hand a .-rconu nana storel llierelfi- Air- 2 13 frmit K:ir Sn.. maw, .uicmean. ana nas ieen a resilient of Medford about a yrar. The gentleman has mining inter ests iu-ar Medford which look Vtry promising for a good reward for time ami money expended in de velopuifiit. MR. JASON KELLOGG. On the northeast corner of Sixth ami C is a valuable piece of prop erty owned hv Mr. Jason Kellocc. Michiean. and has leen Thtre are three lots in this chunk and it will in a very few years he a most desirable business location. The residence is at present occu pied by Mrs. Kellrgz, hergo.id hus band being emploved in Portland as engineer on the steamer North-! west, which phes between Portland and Kalatna. The gentleman also owns five good resident lots on North B street mr. John earksoale Has a snug little home between Fifth and Sixth streets and front ing on C. The residence is nicelv located, the grounds well put out to fruits, berries and vesretables and well kept all 'round. The gentle man is a miner and owns some quite extensive and promising rich mines, near this place. He has lived in Medford nine years. We have nearly finished our pencil picture of North C street and to keep the little ball a rolling we will 'pack our freight" to the extreme South C and camp on the lawns ard beautiful flower beds, of which there are not a few, in this locality. The same spirit of improvement is noticeable here as in other parts of the city. MR. II. G. NICHOLSON. Almost everybody knows Horace. If they don't thry are surely not residents of the Rogue river valley. His pleasant home is situate on the corner of C and Thirteenth streets and is the last one on the street. He has a fine tiexv two story house surrounded by a fine lawn and a gd!y number of shade trees with Bowers in abundance blooming ev erywhere. Mr. Nicholson has mul tUkrious improvements maped out Anil if he don't slip his foot told lefore all these are completed hft will have a little paradise of his ttmxf. His vocation is that of sales man in lieek. u hiteside S Co s hardware establishment; is from Grinnell, Iowa, and has resided in Medford six years. Upon the adjoining lot to the above is where Dr. Pickel is now engaged in build ing a dwelling house. MR. GEO. F. MERRIMAN. The next place to the north on the west side of C street between Fourth and Thirteenth street is where we find the good-natured gentleman whose name appears at the head of this paragraph. Ho is sitting on the porch reading an evening paper and enjoying the beauty of tho surroundings and the cool zephyrs of a Southern Oregon summer evening. Mr. Merriman owns three lots, two fronting C street and one across tho alley and fronting on D street. He "has a nicely arranged houso to which he has this summer built an addition, but one forgets all else when they cast an eye over the amount of veg etation growing on these two lots. It is a "ringer" for Prof. Ham mond's place. There is scarcely a foot of the ground that is not taken up by fruit trees or vegetables. He has peach trees two years old that have born fruit this season and are in a very thrifty condition, as are all his other trees embracing plums, prunes, cherries and pears. His berries are simply great strawber ry vines sufficient to supply an army, and vegetables of wonderous growth and lots ef 'em. Every inch of ground that isn't taken up with vegetables ami fruit is blooming in profusion w'.th flowers. The place as a whole is a beauty, but George tells us he pail out $900 for rent before he discovered that it was cheaper and much letter to have a home of his own. Mr. Merriman is the senior member of the firm of Merriman it Legate, blacksmiths and machinists. He was born in Douglas county, this state, but as Bill Nye would say. when six month.- old he moved his family into Jackson county and has since resided here On the southeast corner of Twelfth and C streets is the resideuce of MR. e. a. jonxsox. This is a beautiful place and lo cated in such a manner as to com mand a fine view on all sides. We found Mr. Johnson engajed in sprinkling his lawn ami the sur rounding flower beds and seemingly happy in the satisfaction that 01 this world's pleasures there are none equal to that of quenching the thirst of nature's plant life. Th8 gentleman has four hits in this plat near the center of which is a good sized two story house conveniently arranged and pleasing to the eye. Mr. Johnson has some fifty odd fruit trees growing about iiis place and many of them are iiearing fruit this season. In variety he has all of those commonly grown in the I vallev. His berries are olentiful and of a choice v:irietv while thf ...i,i. ,r - 1 . . . . plat's abundance. II has apple trees onlv three vear old that are bearing fruit great large apples and blackberries only one vear old and I. oaaed with iruit. Mis nrune trees are loaded very heavily with fruit and upon one branch we noticed a cluster which in number must have exceeded fifty and only covering acorn a ioi 01 me orancn. .Many of his trees which were only set out last year are also bearing fruit. 3 a "ne lawn, a good, substantial This place is a m:idel of neatness I two-story dwelling house, several and in which its owner takes great fruit trees and a garden with some pride. Mr. J jiini.n is a miller by I weeds in it. This is where A. S. Bli trade and is engaged in the A. A. ton livess hence the weeds. Eliton Davis miil. He is from Fresno, i from North Dakota, and if the California, and has lived here fouriMme disposition which 'now has years.

MAGGIE SATERS On the east side of C street and I resides. The property is owned br between Twelfth and Thirteenth is j Mrs. Mims and is quite nicely lo where the above gentleman is snug- Icated. There is a good sired plat ly domiciled. Although Mr. 0'Ha.a !of laud and a goodly number of has owned this place but two years J fruit trees. Ms. Savers is a widow there are many traces of his Indus- j irious nana, l tie house is a neat little two story structure, this lawn, although sm .11. is .1 lieauty ; he has quite a number of fruit trees grow ing very thrifty and his berries are most productive and plentiful. He has recently erected a large, con venient barn at the rear of his lots, which lots by the wav extends the full length of the block es;st and west. - Aside from this property Mr. 0' Ha ra owns 30 J acres of fine farm land in Umatilla county, this state, which he now has rented for five years at $700 per year. The gentleman is not of necessity re quired to buckle into hard work but he however tackles any kind of a job which happens his way. He has resided in Medford two years and although his interests are greater elsewhere he prefers South ern Oregon as a place of residence. Oo the southeast corner of C and Twelfth streets is where the home of MR. R. II. WHITEHEAD - Stands towering heavenward in all the grandeur of the fine home we all have douhtless dreamed of. The place is most beautifully situated and surrounding this fine large house is a beautiful lawn, flower beds, fruit trees and at the side and rear is found an immense array of growing vegetables. Mr. V. owns six lots and the gentleman prides himself in keeping the house and grounds in wonderous state of beau ty. He has about sixty very choice fruit trees which are bearing fruit this season. There are several young shade trees growing in front of the houso which will in a few years afford a splendid shade, Mr. W. is from Umatilla county, this state, and has lived in Medford three years. He has traveled the entire length and breadth of the Pacific coast country and like many more has decided that Med ford surpasses them all for beauty and a healthy locality. The gen tleman's vocation would be hard to arrive at as he is a man of leisure tho result of early ambition and tho accumulation of a nice snug lump of wealth. MR. J. R. ROBISON. The northwest corner of C and Twelfth street 19 occupied by the above gentleman, but is owned by his mother, Mrs. Mary A. Robison. The place is a very comfortable one and about fifty fine fruit trees are growing thriftily and bearing plen tifully. There are three lots in this tract and all is well cared for as the surroundings bear evidence.' Mr. Robison is from Des Moines, Iowa, and has lived in Medford nine years. His vocation is that of laborer and being a handy mna at almost anv kind of work finds employment when there is any to be had. MELLNDA SEABS. Across the street from Mr. Rob ison'a place is the residence of" the above lady. She has two lots, and a neat little cottage residence. The lady maintains a good livelihood from the products of her garden, which she cares for herself, and the interest on a snm of money which she ha3 loaned out. She haa re sided in Medford five years and came from Illinois. MR. CHAS. STRANG. Situated between Twelfth and Thirteenth streets is the very pleasant and cosy home of the above named gentleman. The house is a structure which presents a fi.ie appearance and is surrounded bv all varieties of fru:t trees, and nowers in great quantities and col- ors. Altogether Mr. Strang's place is as finely arranged, and as pleasantlv located as any on the steeet, and there are some pretty good ones scattered hereabouts. The gentleman is a druggist by oc cupation and since his first coming to Medford, nine years ago, he has been engaged in that business. He carries a fine line of goods and is enjoying a good trade. The date of his druggist business dates back to '73 and was first entered upon in Walla Walla. Wash. We almost r,, . mt. - I l"e great number and very rare va.- , .

The whole of the usual farm ma chinery, such as threshing, sowing, icorn threshing and the like, are here driven by an electric motor. The electricity is generated by water power, the turbine wheel which drives the dynamo being ahout 1000 yards from the farm.
