For some several months past the necessity of establishing- a steam laun dry in Medford has been apparent. Not because that our people were being treated unfairly by the representatives of a Salem unci Portland laundry, by whom every courtesy has been ex tended, but because that as a whole wo people don't just fancy sending' our money to outside cities, 'it is not just exactly in accord with our idea of keeping our dollars at home: hence tho advent of a steam laundrv in our city will be hailed witn much pleasure. 1DO gentleman who is putting in the plant is Mr. L. MeLellan, of Portland, who has had years of experience in the business and comes to us endorsed by some oi the most prominent men of the above city as well as being vouched for by such estimable and respected citizens as A. T. Drisko and A. Z. Sears who are old acquaintances and friends of Mr. MeLellan. The gentle man arrived in Medford Monday morn ing and before evening of the tame day he had rented, of Messrs. Skeel & Son, a building on South A street, and on Tuesday morning followinir his machinery, which had already ar rived, was placed in the building and the work of arrangement was com menced. Carpenters were at once put to work at building an addition and shaping the building for its new use, and by Monday next laundry oper ations will be commenced. The plant which he is putting in is similar in dwsign and capacity to several used in t or 1 1 ana while it Is not ot the largest pattern it is none the less a good one and capable of turning out first-class work. Three experienced laundrv 1 girls will arrive from Portland Mon- any, but what other help is needed he will procure in this cKy. Mr. Me Lellan Is agreeably disappointed as to the size and business of our city and he is of the opinion that a larger plant will be necessary. His prices will be as low as those of the larger cities, and by making them so he hopes to draw a good trade from all towns and cities of the valley. More Regarding the Proposed Road. A few weeks ago The Mail suggest- ea ine leasioiiuy oi constructing, or ; rather completiug the construction, of: a wagon road Iroin Medford to Klamath Falls. Many people have spoken to us ' ulniu niir im.nltnn rf I ha rr-ol,.... oil 1 l . i vl . .i . i . . ... lect So favorable did the project appear to Mr (J- J Howard, of this city, and a civil engineer of prominence in the county, that he has written out the following: "Plan for a wagon road Irotn Medford to Klamath Falls, Oregon, by way of Brownsboro, Lake Creek, Tyler's soda springs and Buck lake. The road is already built from Med ford to Tyler's soda springs, which is thirty miles from here. From there there are twelve miles of new road to build: eight miles of this distance will have to be graded with a grade of 300 feet to the mile, which, at a rougn estimate, win cet sitri per mile. I he remaining four miles are comparatively level and not difficult to make. 1 his will take us to the Dead Indian road, (the Lake of the Woods is four miles northeast from this point and Pelican bav is ten miles on saint road) and trom then follow the old i road to Buck lake four miles: thence J down Siencer creek to Ashland and j Klamath Falls road near Keno: thence to Klamath Falls, twenty-six miles, j making the total distance seventy-j two miles, or less. The highest eleva-' turn will be 5Jl)(l feet. This road would ' oiK'tl up a line body of timber hieh at present is inaccessible, besides being ' a tine route for iileasiire unities to l.,L., Tl,.. ,r I.. ..ill i. - I not as difficult to travel as the present routes to Klamath county."

The Billings, Mont., Gazette of June 1'ith says: "J. II. Whitman, the. expert abstractor, of Medford, Oregon, a man who has had twenty years' ex perience, left for home last Saturday after being engaged here for six weeks with a force of assistants completing the abstract books of the Austin North company." The Gazette deals ouite at length upon the work of Mr. Whitman in that city and of the correctness of the Austin North company's abstract books. While The Mail is cpeaking upon this subject we want to say that a re porter visited Mr. Whitman's oflice in Sledfurd last week, and made an exami nation of one of the gentleman's ab stracts and was shown the books, con taining a complete record of every piece of real estate in Jackson county. The abstracts turned out by Mr. Whitman are the most complete and accurate instruments of the kind we have ever seen, and are such that no trust company or bank in the country would refuse to make a loan on a piece of property described by them. They are not merely an index of the county records, but take up a piece of prop-erty-from the government's ownership and trace it through every transfer to the time of execution of abstract. They show the deeds, mortgages, execution sales, judgment liens, recognizances, with tax titles and tax delinquencies up to date, and also certify that there are no judgments suits pending, or liens of any kind against the grantee except as shown therein, by the clerk of the court, and from the treasurer as to tax titles, deeds or liens. In fact Mr. Whitman's abstracts are guaran teed absolutely correct. Mrs. M. King, who conducts a private postoffice at San Francisco, is under In vestigation by government officers. The penalty for this kind of bonnees is seri ous, but it is thought there will be no prosecution if sbe closes np her private postal arrangement. Colonel Thomas G. Lawler, national commander of the Q. A. R., it in San Francisco, accompanied by OaMitu Oay Jones, adjutant general of the order. Both are from Rockford. UL They will inspect California posts and devote soms time to pleasure with their comrades. Alonzo J. Whiteman, a yonng man who came to California last March from Wisconsin after having spent $1,000,000 in fire years time, was convicted of forgery at San Francisco. He patron ized hotels and other lines of business, and paid his bills with forged checks. Chief Justice Beattr of the snprsra court of California has made a caustia reply to the statements made against that tribunal by the grand jury of Saa ! Francisco in its recent report. TT register of Last Norember's election. The chief justice sars the grand jury was reckleas in ito inTestigmtion, Joseph Macdonongh, millionaire coal merchant, died the other day at San Francisco. He came to California from Ireland in early days, made a small fortune and afterward lct it. Mao donough serred in the civil war and then returned to California. By the death of his brother-in-law, William O'Brien, one of the Bonanza kings, he 5 w received $600,000. which he carefully in 50 vested in property that brought large ' returns. An immeens fortune is soon to come 'wjinto the possession of Colonel A. E. I'iso : Cochran of San Diego through a North ,w 1 Carolina land grant. The grant is 30 i miles long and 11 miles wide, contain- '' , ing over 100,000 acre. There are sev l oral towns on the land, also mineral de ' posits, and much of the land is suitable k o ; for diversified farming. The grant was ' originally made by Kius( George III of England in 1795 to Cochran's grand father. su State Labor Commissioner Fitzgerald, "u who has been making an investigation iMi of the Japanese labor problem, says he has found testimouv enough in the I shape of letters found in the possession " . of Japanese whom he subpenaed for ex amination at acavilie. Solano county, to justify him in making arrests. The letters were written by parties in San Francisco offering the Japanese money to go to Yacarille and work for a speci fied time. H. F. Manhion. a married druggist of Oakland, made the acquaintance of Miss Kate Winslow and induced her to forge her grandmother's name to a cer tificate for $l.l00 to raise money for him. He then went through a nuyk marriage ceremony with her at San Francisco, the bogus clergyman being a friend of the so-called groom. Man niou's wife in Oakland has brought ac tion against him for bigamy. The last seen of Mannion was on the overland train with Miss Winslow, bound east G. W. Vroomau, a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and chairman of the committee on ad justments on the Union Pacific system, is considering a proposition to build an overland railroad by railway employes. He says the idea is to construct the road without issuing Umds, so that every dollar earned will go directly to the holders of stock. There are nearly a million railway employes m the nation, and Yrooman thinks it will be an easy matter to build the Hue providing 'the men have confidence in the co-operative iirojcct. The proposed line .is from San Diego to Salt Lake City, a distance of SOU Miles. Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder World Fair Highest Medalaad Diploma.
