The Jackson County Flume and Ir rigation Land company, has an ad on this page of to-day's Mail. This com pany has a large correspondence both on the coast and in the east, and are therefore prepared to enter into land negotiations with parties which have become familiar with this valley nrettv oulot for tho past fow weeks owing to the very bad condition of the roads and 'tis little wonder they con- regate at the Hub when an occasion offers. Our people treat 'em right when they come and the natural result is that they come again and bring their neighbors. Fair and honorable treat ment extended to people who come within our borders is the promoter of such interests as grow cities from small hamlets. The Mail has no thought of open ing a second band storo in competition with Mr. Simmons, nevertheless, there has been loft at this office a couple of articles, which, while in pretty good shape for a considerable more wear, they aro second hand. Ono is a very trood soft felt hut. This article was found in a fence corner between Med ford and Phoenix. Judging from the size of the hat we would conclude that when its owner parted with it he fig ured he weighed a ton and, as his head has in all probability grown much smaller since, the article will be of lit tle use. to him and will undoubtedly never be called for. In tho meantime we will sea that it is well cared for and the first chance we get we will present it to Editor Fay, of Jacksonville. The other article is a gentleman's rubber shoe a good one. Come and get them both no charges. Bev. A. C. Howlett. "Roads, woll, there would be roads if ono could find the bottom, but they are better than thev irerii a few weeks niro. There couid be a road made which would trreatlv imnrove matters for us Eaela Point people, and by opening it up we would be relieved of the necessity of wnllowinsr through several miles of sticky every time wo came to your city. If a road could be opened from a point near the corner of Mr. Hogie's place to run in a southerly direction through tho Hemmeric place, then across the Ish pasture field and intersect the main Eagle Point road near S. Murray s place the sticky land would be left en tirely out and we would have fairly good traveling through tbe entire year. There are two anJ a half miles of sticky that is positively impassable in the wet season. There are a great many people who want U trade in vour citv but who cannot because of this piece of road." Only fourteen of those thirty car loads of cattle that were to hare been loaded in Medford last Monday have as yet found their way to San Francisco. There was a big hubbub about the citv uDon tho above date. ThU state of affairs existed until well on into the evening when thirteen carloads of cat tle belonging to F. Rtrneburg and ono to J. W. Hockersmith were started for San Francisco. Uockersimth it seems had purchased several carloads of cat tle from M. Hanley and Mr. Byboeand had made a part paymont on thex, acrecinij to pav the balance upon the arrival cf the cattle in San Francifco. This seemed to be satisfactory to alt Darties concerned and several cars had been loaded when an altercation arose. and it kept rising William Biley like until a fecver heat was noticeable. The cattle belonging to this lot were taken from tho cars and together with the remainder of them were driyen out of town again. There are, of course, two sides to the affair, as in all cases of like nature. You listen to one side and you think the other fellow is all wrong, then you listen to the other side and tho cause of trouble is piled up against someone else. However, the cattle were not shipped and a scrap is on in which the courts will take a hand.

The location of the fruit manufac turing institution in Medford, spoken of last week, has not boen fully settled as yet. The probable site for the buildings, if located in this city, has been changed to another part of the city. The point now talked of is just west of the brewery plant and on the same block. The only question which is now at issue is the raising of suffi cient funds to purchase the four lots decided upon. Thoso can ba had for less than $303 and as this is all the comnanv asks by way of a subsidy it would seem a very small amount when we consider the great good which must surelv come from tho establishing of the Dlant in this city.
