MS OF 11 CITY.
J. C. Baird. the electric light man,
Arrived in Medford Tuesday morning,
accompanied by his partner, C. W.
Stratton. The two gentlemen at once
began preparations to commence work I the finest cream
ana Wednesday morning tney oegaa
locating the pole line. They already
have the machinery ordered and it
will be here as soon as they will be
ready to receive it. Before ordering
their engine and boiler they are desir
ous ol arriving at the approximate
n amber of lights which will be required.
The number tbeymay be able to secure
right now will be multiplied by two and
the engine and boiler ordered to handle
this number. It will be tojthe interest
of all to leave their orders for lights at
as early a date as possible. By doing,
this you ill. not only assist the com
pany to arrive at a more definite point
if ojilii!t.inn hut will n9 well hasten
the operation of the plant. The con
venience and direct benefit to be de
rived from electric lights will, of
course, not be fully realized until the
plant is in operation, yet many have
undoubtedly already decided that they
want them, but the number will be
greatly augmented when the lights be
gin to glimmer. It is an enterprise
which ought to be encouraged by all
live, enthusiastic citizens and the
sooner this encouragement is given the
sooner we will get the plant in work
ing shape. The company is styled the
Medford Electric Light company.
-Green is the fashionable color these
days! Not for dresses, but for wrap
ping paper. You-can see it on the
streets, in the homes, in the farmers'
wagons as you pass tbein on their way
home from town. -' Tis used for wrap
ping all manner of dry goods, boots
' and shoes, hats and caps, and ladies'
and eents furnishing goods. All comes
from the "New York Store," Medford.
Among the several people who
came to Medford last winter in quest
of a location was Mr. John McNeil and
family. "Thev arrived here about the
first of December and remained about
six weeks, during which time Mr.
McNeil drove about the country con
siderably looking for a location but
could find nothing to suit him. They
decided to trv California, but not
liking it there they went to Kansas and
Colorado. These places thei did not
like and Mr. McNeil is now again in
the Rogue river valley. He is making
a second tour of farm hunting in the
himself that he will find something to
sueL -As soon as he finds that - for
family who are now in the east. Great
is Oregon greater than them all, and
everybody who is so fortunate as to re
side therein ought to congratulate
inemseives.
You will be wanting some crockery,
perhaps, this spring. Baby has proba

of almost any quality or style at Wol
ters, the grocer.
Last Thursday little Bertha, the

There is nothing marvelous in the
fact that Hood's Sarsaparilla should
cure so many diseases. When you re

effective and radical blood purifier, the
wnoie ining is expimueu.
Besides its blood purifying qualities,
Hood's Sarsaparilla contains the best

LPPRICES
Election day in Jackson county upon
Monday, June 4, 1804, was a day which
will bo referred to as a day when the
populists took every thing pretty
nearly. It was a surprise to both the
old parties. As a matter of fact it was
a surprise to the populist. They didn't
know their gun was so heavily loaded.
It has proven without a doubt that if a
flock shot was taken at the voters of
Jackson county the shot wouldn't need
to scatter much to hit lots of populists
Returns lire not all in on the state
ticket but enough localities have been
hoard from to give the republicans a
clean walk over. Lord's plurality is
about 10,000 with the remainder of the
ticket following closely behind.
Josephine county gives a complete
republican majority said to have re
sulted from the democrats giving their
support to the republicans. Benson
gets 200 plurality.
In Portland republicans elect nearly
all municipal officers.
In Medford the democrats elect G. S.
Walton, justice ot the peace on a vote
of 260 to 190 for W. H. Hembree, pop-
list.
The Medford republicans get Isaac
Woolf for constable Woolf 305, J. It
Hardin, populist, 1S1.
We had hoped to give a full tabula
ted vote of each precinct in the county,
but as it cannot be made absolutely
correct until the official count is made,
we only give the summary this week.
The full vote, by precincts will be pub
lished next week.
The Portland Telegram of Wednes
day evening has this:
Taking the returns that are in. and
figuring on proportionate changes
throughout the state, the result on the
state ticket will be about as follows:
Lord 34.000, Pierce 25,000, Gailoway
18,000. In the first congressional dis
trict Mr. Weatherford soems to have
run ahead of his ticket, yet Hermann
will have about 1500 plurality. In the
second district Mr. Ellis will have over
4000 plurality, while Waldrop will have
from 1U00 to 1j00 more than Raley.
Klamath county is reported to have
gone almost solid republican. Lake
county not heard from.

Afflicted With Scrofula
ever since she was one year old. For five years
he has had a running sore en one side of her
face. We tried every remedy recommended, but
nothing did her any good until we comraeuced
using Hood's Sarsaparilla. My married daughter
advised mo to use Hood's Sarsaparilla because
Hood'sCures
K had cored her of dyspepsia. She had been
troubled with that complaint since childhood,
and since her cure she has never been without a
bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla tn the house. We
commenced giving it to Sarah about one fear
ago, and it has conquered the running sore,

The Pomonsett Orchards.
That beautiful tract of laud lving im
mediately south of the city aud known
as the Fordyce place has lately been
purchased by W. E. Coul, secretary of
the Irrigation Company, and he has
platted it into two and one-half acre
tracts under tho above title. This is one
of the most bc-auliful tracts of land in
the Roua river valley and lying as it
does K'ilhinjr three-quarters of a mile of
the business center of the city makes it
really the most desirable property ever
offered for sale in this valiey.
The prices, terms and conditions
under which this land is sold show en
terprise and energy, viz: The land is
sold for SiSO.OU per acre as follows:
First payment one fifth: balance in two.
three, four and five years, without in
terest. The land is Dlauted to fruit
trees as the purchaser may dictate and
cultivated for five years without any
additional expense to purchaser, at
which time a good healthy, bearing
orchard is turned over to him. Pur
chasers, who have good reasons for alo
ng so, mav draw out what money thev
have paid on account of their orchards
after two years, by giving three month's
notice of a desire to do so.
We are glad to aee these large hoid-
ngs surrounding tne city improved
and divided into pieces of a size suita
ble to men doing business in the city.
and we have no doubt that this piece
will be sold out during the summer.
The Orchard Home company have done
good work and have in the past two
years disposed of two hundred acre
tracts to the west of the above purchase,
and further from the city than is this
place.
