David Loring, chief clerk of the land department, of the O.J; C. railroad, with headquarters at Portland, arrived in Medford the firt of the week, and spent a few davs visiting in this city. It was Mr. Loring who negotiated of water from a well filled tank. Whether the experience of that night be the incentive or not informant did not state, but the lady has recently been prompted from some motive to have built a much larger tank for use on tho farm, both at time of tire emer gencies and as a receptacle for a water supply for stock. The tank was put up by I). II. Miller and beurs the imprint of the skilled hand of Tinner Smith. It is of galvanized iron, will hold .'1000 gallons of waver, weighs 000 pounds and is the largest tank of the kind ever built in Medford. It is very substantially constructed and cannot fail to be serv iceable. While we are making men tion of the tank the thought comes to us: why do not more of our farmers pro vide themselves with a windmill, water tank and the necessary piping required for fire protection, watering slock, and the irrigating of a small lawn and flower garden about the house? The fields do not require this irrigating but a lawn and a flowei bed do. A few dollars scnt this way wonld not only add much beauty to the farm home, but would save mueh time in watering slock and perhaps many dollars should there be a fire started. C. W. Wolters has unquostionadly the finest Hue of very fine crockery anb glassware ever brought to Medford. The Golden Green Thistle brand is simply elegant and there are other sets pretty nearly as fine.
