We Have a Steam Laundry.
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 '

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 '

Abstracts That Are Correct.
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.

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.
