Don't Fool With the Postoff ice Boxes.
"A practice enmmou at postollices,"
says the Eugene Guard, "is for persons
who have lock boxes to try their key in
other person's boxes to see if it will fit
or if the box is locked, very few know
that they lay - themselves liable to
prosecution and fine. This act is a vio
lation of "Uncle Sam's" postal law, and
is punishable as such. A case occurred
recently where valuable mail was taken
from a box in a postoffice by parties un
known. A young man was arrested
for the theft, and although the crime
could not be proven, it was shown that
he was in the habit of opening boxes
without permission, and he was fined
$300 and given one year in the peniten
' tiary.l' To apply this matter locally
let us state, that if someone should
"swipe" a retainer of a few thousand
dollars from the postoftice lock box of
Attorney Hammond, The Mail would
be arrested for theft and sentenced to
a term in the penitentiary of equal
length with its natural life, and at the
expiration of this term it would be com
palled to pay a fine of $300,and all bee u s.
that The Mail s postomce key is a
counterpart of- the one Mr. Hammond
carries. On the other hand if The
Mail was to lose a valuable communi
cation, of nature likened unto the last
will and testament of some delinquent
subscriber,- who, on his death bed be
came conscience stricken and made
amends for his short comings to the ex
tent of said, will and testament, and
said document was lost we would at
nee institute proceedings aganist At
torney Hammond and he would be
sentenced to pay a fine of double the
value of said will and testament equal
in value to about eight cents and a
postage siamp, and to serve a term of
twenty days in the Medford sewer and
all because his key combines with the
lock on our postoffice box.
The regular subscription price of
The Mail is $1.50 a year, and the reg
ular subscription price of the Weekly
' Oregonian is $1-50. Any one subscrib
ing for The Mail and paying one year
in advance can get both The Mail and
the Weekly Oregonian one year for $2.
All old subscribers paying their sub
scriptions for one year in advance will
be entitled to the same offer.
S. P. Flour Garden at Grants Pass.
The Southern Pacific railroad com
pany has men at work preparing
grounds for an extensive flour garden
near their depot in Grants Pass.
While the garden is being made at
Grants Pass the soil with which it is
made comes from Jackson county, the
work train having hauled seveial car
loads from Woodville. Grown in
but m5-9Qwers will thrive and be an
addad beautv tothe-aeautiiul new di
pot, but, in the vernacularof iiiife
boy "where does Medford get off?" We,
however, have a word of assurance from
Section Foreman Kelley that if Med
ford is not treated in like manner this
year she will get her quota of this
beautifying process another season. It
is learned, not officially, that it is the
intention of the S. P. company to move
their depot at this place to a point a
little north of its present site and to
the opposite side of the track. If this
is done it will be with the object of
getting the building to the side of
Seventh street instead of in the mid
dle of it as it now stands. There is
also a probability of there being a new
depot built, in which event the old ona
will undoubtedly be used as a freight
house. Without being considered as
taking the attitude of a complainer
THE Mail feels called upon to mention
the necessity of a new and much larger
building for depot purposes at this
place. The greatly increased business

its patron s.
The Picnic Season Will Open Brisk.
Oregon May day picnics are always a
prime article on the market and never
go at a figure less than par. It is prob
ably because of the profusion of beauti
ful flowers and balmy sunshine. So soon
as the first picnic of the season is ripe
or the picking the small boy and the
small girl, as well as a whole hand
wagon load of old boys and old girls,
are on hand to do the picking. The
first real ripe picnic that we have heard
of this season will be on May day and
will be a union affair between the pub
lic schools of Medford and Jacksonville.
It will be held at the school house
grove, about half way between the
above named places. It will be
a basket picnic and, of course, the
baskets will be well filled. The Med-
ord-Jacksonviile sbortline will run
special trains and will carry passengers
out and back from either Medford or
Jacksonville for ten cents. While this
is to be a school picnic the bars are
down to all who wish to attend outside
the schools. As a matter of fact, every
body is invited. The Medford public
school band will be there and will fur
nish the best music they have in their
horns and drums, which is a pretty
good article.
If any body was to ask you for the
best hat to buy for the money, you
couldn't, and be honest to yourself and
friends, tell them to buy any other hat
than the Stetson Wolters keeps them,
The Howl is Here, All Right.
We said a few weeks ago that there
would be a howl coming from residents
of south C street unless certain portions
of that street were graded. That bowl
is bowling sure enough, but it is not
the one we expected. Instead of the
people complaining of insufficient imr
provements they are complaining of too

little improvemaut is all good enough.
but too much of it is just a little worse
than not enough. Some of the people
owning property on this street are com
pelled to fill the street to the extent of
five feet while others, in order to reach
the established grade, will have to go
something like three feet below the
present level of the street. This will,
of course, make a bettor looking street
but it will work a hardship upon some
of the property owners. The highest
fill will be in front of Messrs. Slinger's
and Brook's property and will be five
feet. Dr. Pryce will have a three foot
fill. The deepest cut will be three feet
and will be between Druggist Strang's
and H. U. Lumsden's property.
Messrs. Gibbs & Wheeler, the pho
tographers, are now prepared to exe

A "Hoss" on Someone.
A man who will "swipo" a sack of
potatoes at this season of the yer can
hardly be considered as lost entirely
in the depths of sin. But what is
bothering J. R. Erford and John Curry
is which one is going to "stand good"
for the potatoes. In a few lines it is
like this: Rev. Kendall orders pota
toes sent to his place Mr. Erford puts
them up and locates the reverend gen
tleman's place of abode, marks them
"Rogue River Valley Railroad" Curry
comes along with his delivery wagon
and takes them to the railroad compa
ny's depot Someone who has a hanker
ing for potatoes comes that way and
"swipes"' them, together with an ax
which Mr. Kendall had put in the sack.
Mr. Erford has promised the thief to
say nothing about the potatoes if he (the
thiefjwillslipuptohis place some dark
night, when there isn't anybody look
ing, and push the blade of the ax under
his (Erford's) door and leave it there.
A First-Class Cess Pool.
A cess pool of the first class is tho one
thing more than another that this city
doesn't want lurking round within her
limits, but we've got one, just the same.
Down near Mr. Vandyke's residence
and near the railroad track, on the east
side, is a hole filled with very green
tinted water, dead hens, old cans, last
year's cats and a general collection of
debris of like nature. The hole in
which is all this truck is perhaps a
couple hundred feet long by fifteen or
twenty feet wide and six or eight feet
deep, and was made by the railroad
comiiany removing gravel therefrom.

What a Snap For the flen Folks.
Up in Alaska they don't have any
mHlinery stores. That is, we presume
they don't, from the fact that a lady
residing there has sent to Medford for
her new spring hat. They either don't
have any dealers in this line of goods
or Mrs. Sears, the lady who received
the order, has a reputation in her line
of business which reaches far bsyond
our state's border. What a snap for
the men folks a country without milli
nery stores would be. There is some
little satisfaction, however, to the
male population of Alaska to know that
the seasons blurry the women to
keap up. If she should happen to neg
lect the purchase of her new summer
hat by one day she would have to trim
it with fur and wear it with ear muf
flers for the next nine months. One
month comprises spring, summer and
fall and the other eleven are just plain
winter.

Bicycles, Spring and the Young Man.
In the spring-time when tho gardens
and meadows aro aglow with blue and
red tho young man's fancy lightly
turns to thoughts of bicycles, and
it is painful to observe him crash
ker-plunk into an awning post in his
endeavor to break a wheel to drive in
sin-jle harnes?. Medford sidewalks aro
this early in the season being bespat
tered with gore from the probosis of
the amnturo bicyclists, who rides not
wisely but too wabbly. Tho latest vic
tim to the bicycle craze in Medford is
I. A. Mounce, tho Seventh street con
fectioner. He rides bravely, if not
safely as all bystanders near tho post
oftice will vouchsafe when they recall
his collision with awning posts and tho
sidewalk one day last week.

Compliments of Dr. E. B. Pickel.
The Mail is in receipt of the pro-
cram of commencement exercises of
the college of Physicians and Surgeons,
of Chicago, and of which our good
friend, Dr. Piekel, is a member on the
class roll. The exercises were held on
Tuesdav of this week, immediately
following which Mr. and Mrs. Pick
left for Medford. The programs are
as finely gotten up as any we have seen
and if the work at the college comes as
near the line of perfection in fie
practice of the science of mtdicines
and surgery as did the printer in pro
ducing the programs therti has been
some bright young minds and skillful
hands turned loose from this establish
ment. Groceries must be fresh to be palat
able. I will pay a premium for any
musty or shelf-worn articles found on
my shelves. This, however, is through
no fault of mine the people won't let
me keep them long enough to get
musty. Wolters the grocer.
How John Made a Fortune.
John Hardin is a barber, and a miner
as well. It was related to us this week
that John made a little fortune when
engaged in barbering. He being a
miner knew that there was gold in the
whiskers of nearly evary man he
shaved, a3 all were miners, and by
saving the lather and panning out the
JJ. he made a snug little sum. But
this sum was lost, the bovs tell, in ex
perimenting in trying to make a cow
give gin by feeding her on juniper ber
ries. John is snid to be now at work
on an invention bv which he proposes
to confine a hen in a machine of the
milk-shake order and make her lay
scrambled eggs.
