Medford, Friday, Nov. 2, 1894.
The colleges of the country as a
rule report large freshman classes.
This does not concern the sopho
mores so much as classes of large
freshmen would.
A pneumatic saddle is the latest
addition to the accouterment of the
race horse. The only things now
lacking are a pneumatic horseshoe
and a pneumatic track.
Madagascar is the fourth largest
island in the world, and if France
persists in her purpose to establish
a protectorate there it is likely to
be entirely surrounded by blood.
The Mail will be enlarged to an
eight page paper now pretty soon.
We realize the fact that our readers
ought to have more general reading
matter and we propose to supply
the demand. .

A New Jersey man who lulled a
neighbor admits that he is guilty,
deserves to be hanged and desires
the operation hastened. Then a
benign law steps in and denies him
the right to plead guilty to a capital
offense. It is an almost unwar
rantable hardship that the one
honest man accused of crime within
the memory of the present genera
tion should have his veracity called
Into question.
It required 441 days work to
assess the property of Jackson
county. For this service $4 per
day was charged, or $1,764 for the
- whole job. The question arose at
the last session of the county court
as to whether the assessor could
charge $4 per day for his deputies
when the price actually paid to them
did not reach that amount by a con
siderable, but when the assessor's
bill came up it was allowed by a
majority vote of the board, but not
by a unanimous vote. Aside from
this $4 per day charge there were
charges made for making assess
ment rolls. Every tax payer of
this county has reason for congrat
ulation because that the last of the
old regime ia very near to the sun
Bet of its closing day.
Inertia never, well, rarely ever,
makes lengthy calls upon the city
of Medford. Our people are too
much alive to their own interests to j
allow the old girl to get a good
footing hereabouts. We are a
people that do move, and this in
fection reaches out to other towns
and states and we do move people
from these places to our blooming
little city, and these people do buy
lands and do build homes thereon.
The homes built in and about Med
ford would surprise, yes and flatter,
our citizens if they knew the num
ber and we propose to enumerate
them, with the names of owners
and builders, and costs, in some
future issue of The Mail. Another
pleasant feature connected with the
building of this large number of
residences is that none of them are
vacant.
The Mail is not making an as
sertion in the following upon any
positive grounds, but we are just
going to rise to exclaim that there
is more talk in the air on the rail
road extension. There has been
any amount of talk switched about
on this same subject for several
months past, in fact longer than
that, but fur a time it has been
quiet, that is, the talk hasn't been
"very rousing, but all the time there
has been a great many- figures
made. Two aud two have been
put together and it has equaled the
Bum of four. In like manner the
arithmetical prpblem of profit and
loss on an extension of the Rogue
liver road has been figured and the
figures have showed up well on the
profit side, hence it is safe to say
that had it not been for the very
close fitting times (no reference to
our contemporary by that name)
this extension would have extended
,t this fall, bat &a it is we must be
content to await the time when the
robins shall have commenced the
chirp of their new spring song. We
have always asseverated that this
extension would be built and we
are just as sure of it now, alid a
little more so, than at any other
time. Capital has eyes and as these
eves are always for profit it cannot
fftrd to lur'u down tula proposition.
W. Skeel & Son's Sash and Door
Factory Totally Destroyed.
Four Thousand Dollar Loss Only
Fifteen Hundred Insurance.
Shortly before twelve o'clock Mon
day Nightatchman Churchman
sounded the alarm of fire by his
usual way, that of firing his re
volver, and in a very short time the
shrill toots of the whistle at the
electric light station were heard,
and a large percentage of Medford's
citizens rushed into the street and
soon realized the fact that our city
was visited with a destructive fire.
This time the fire was in the sash
and door factory of C. W. Skeel &
Son, and before it was discovered
the whole interior of the building
was on fire, and the flames had
burst through the doors, and win
dows and were leaping high
into the air. The fire boys were
soon on the ground with the hose
cart and a line of hose was laid
from the corner of Seventh and
A streets, and a stream was soon
plaving upon the burning building.
The fire had' gained such headway,
however, that it was impossible to
save the mill or any of its contents,
and the boys soon turned their at
tention toward the lumber shed and
office building:, which were saved.
Although the fire lasted but a short
time it was a hot one and the boys
worked manfully to save every
thing possible. The loss will reach
about $4,000 and was onlv insured
fer $1500. The loss falls heavy
upon Messrs. Skeel & Son as this
property was destroyed by fire
about three years ago, and they had
but recently rebuilt and put things
in good running order, having rittcui
up with new and modern machin
ery. Messrs. Baird & Stratton are de
serving of much credit for the man
ner iu which they kept the whistle
going, and also for keeping their
lights burning until after all danger
was over, although their power
station was located within less than
four hundred feet of the burning
mill.
There can be no doubt but that
the fire originated near the engine
room of the mill for when first dis
covered by Engineer Stratton the
flames had burst through the east
end of the building and were plain
ly visible to those on the streets,
and on account of the light in the
station and the noise of the electric
machinery the first alarm was
given by Xightwatchman Church
man, who was at the time near the
Hotel Medford.
It would seem that Medford has
had about her share of fires this
year, this being tne third conngara
tion, and with the occurrence of
each we are made aware of the ne
cessity of better fire protection, and
especially a better alarm system.
The Leiow investigation of tbs police
department of New York is still contin
ued. Police Commissioner Sheehan was
on the rack last week. He finally re
fused to answer Lawyer Gou"s ques
tions. The Burlington has begun the regular
runninfr of trains to Billings, ilont.,
and by way of the Northern Pacific to
Helena, Butte. Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma
and Portland, and all northern Idaho,
Montana and Puget Sound points. This
gives to the railroad world another
trnnRmnrinprftal lin which will UiBV
no unimportant part in the mutter of j
freight and passenger trade in. the
future.
A complaint filed in the circuit court
at Milwaukee is a novelty in legal docu
ments. It is a suit for $30,000 damages
on account of breach of promise, the
plaintiff being Adolph Scbolz, a banker
who has been doing business in Berlin.
He tells how he sold out his business in
Germany and journeyed to Wisconsin
to make Catherine Pilfer 3Irs. Scholz,
and how when he arrived she refused to
marry him. Thereupon he returned to
Germany, but in January, 1S93, reiving
upon her renewed promise, he came
b&ck and was again spurned by Cathar
ine. The two trips, together with the
injury to his feelings, he considers
worth $30,000.
Juan Cienfuegos, one of the Salvsr
dorean refugees who was detained at
San Francisco at the request of the gov
ernment of San Salvador, has been re
leased from custody. The state depart
ment at Washington has refused to
grant the extradition of Cienfuegos.
He came to San Francisco with Antonio
tzeta and other refasees. and all were
charged with murder and robbery. The
United States court decided that the
alleged crimes were committed during
a state of war and that extradition
could not be granted.
Nine lots of fruit, principally apples
from Oregon, though some pears were
from San Francisco, were destroyed at
the public crematory at Vancouver, B.
C. The apples were affected with codlin
moth and the pears with San Jose scale.
Dealers here are anxious that the fruit
inspectors in the states of Oregon and
California should in some way punish
these firms for sending out infected
fruit. The inspector has publicly an
nounced tnat infected fruit is coming in
from Oregon. San Francisco was not
mentioned in his statement, as only one
lot coming from there was condemned.
On account of this announcement orders
for fruit from the south have fallen off,
and orders are being placed with Ontario
(Can.), and Australian agents.
Fifty thousand dollars has been offered
by the Kinetoscope company for the

If the reported rich find made by
ex-Deputy County Clerk, J. H.
Huffer is correct he can teel grate
ful to the people of Jackson county
for not electing him sounty clerk.
The report goes that last week he
discovered a ledge, or rather two
ledges, at a point where they come
in contact from which he has taken
quartz that goes $15 to the pound,
or $30,000 to the ton. This is, of
course, the richest of the ore but it
is all reported to he very rich. The
location is at the head ot chivley
gulch, between the two forks of
Jackson creek, and is on land owned
by Thos. Reams, of Jacksonville,
who, by-the-way, has an half inter
est in tlio mine with Mr. Huffer.
One of the ledges is twenty inches
wide and the other twelve. A shaft
has been put down about ten feet.

An incident occurred on Apple
gate last week, which brings to
mind Shakspeare's words, "He
laughs best, who laughs last." A
young man from Applegate went
to Grants Pass on business. On his
return horn he was ''held up" and
robbed of some seven dollars. His
brother made light of it and said
he "would like to see the color of
the man's hair that could hold him
up. Yes! He would "fight a rob
ber to a finish." etc. He went to
Grants Pass also and while there
"declared himself." He also failed
to blow in all his capital before
leaving town. On his way home
he was requested to throw up his
hands. Being of an obliging turn
he did so, and then he was ordered
to get out of the coupe (a two-horse
waconl and turn his back to the
"audience." He was then requested
to stand very still until the "audi
ence" could change from a shotgun
to a revolver. One end of the re
volver was placed in our hero's
auricular appendage, and he was
admonished to keep very still as he
was known to bo one of the boys
that fight, and as the speaker was
of a nervous disposition a hole
might accidentally be blown
through him. After a brief but
thorough searoh the robber "traced"
up "a pocket" containing twenty
seven dollars. He was then ordered
to return whenoe he came, be re
invested with more cash and meet
Jubela at the east gate to the city
at low twelve. Our friend says a
school-girl could hold him up now.
