A Mall Reporter Continues His Write

terprising: City In Oregon
Some of the Residences of C Street as

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

The gentleman has mining inter

promising for a good reward for

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

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

MS. M.S. DAMON.
Adjoining Mr. Strang's place is
the property of Mr. M. S. Damon.
This is on the corner of Eleventh
and C streets and is a very pretty '
piece of resident property". There
wa be a great many miles from

self and children by teaching music. .
She has quite a number of pupils
and is said to he a very competent

Medford about a year and

An interesting example of elec
tricity as applied to fanu work is
now in operation at a Scotch farm.
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.
The electric current is conveyed hy
underground wires to the house
and farm, in each of which & stor
age battery is placed. These sup- ;
ply the electric current for lighting
and motive purposes when the ma
chinery is not working - The whole '
of the mansion is illuminated by
electric light, and an electric motor '
is provided for pumping the water -for
domestic purposes.
