Freight shipments over the Medford Jacksonville shortline are quite heavy these days. The supply of coal oil at the Med ford oil house was increased just an oven carload by Monday's freight. C'ranlill & Hutchison received a car load of salt bv Monday morning's freight. The S O. P. P. Co. also re ceived a carload of the same article by the same train. The amount of freight being receiv ed at this station these days is indeed no small figure.

The entrance is, of course, from the rear of the build ing, and tho stairs and hall of the Phipps building, which joins the Ros enthal building, is used as a means of reaching the hall. In the rear of the building is a room of considerable size for use as a ban quet hall. Between this and the lodge room are two ante rooms, supplied with necessary closets for tho safe keeping of the orders' paraphinalia. the same. First: I find nothing wrong in the article so far as The Mail is concerned, for it only verifies the statement made by The Mail that it is the people's paper, and is always ready to expose any wrong that is being per petrated upon the taxpayers of Jack county, which is but fair and right.

The secretary, or desk, is equally as handsome and is a valuable acquisition lo the furniture of the lodge room. One can easily judge as to the amount of work re quired in the construction of the six pieces of furniture w hen the cost of the same is noted, which is, in round num bers. $170. The lloor of the lodge hall is covered with a handsome three ply carjiet and will bo t-upplied with other mats and rugs bearing emblems of the order.

Why? lUvause that it had much to say of "the resources of this I jwrt of Oregon and because that thous I ands of these papers are circulated I throughput the eastern states and 1 among people of affluence and influence and tho.M? who have their eyes turned in the direction of a more congenial climate for a permanent residence, and where fruits and all the necessities of life are abundant. . in this issue of U,Sovc paper are nine clipping from .TUK Mkdkuku Mail in which we fciye at various times told of our coal deposits, our rich gold mine, our big red apples, our im- l inensc crop of pears, peaches, prunes. plums nnd pumpkins, our hemes of all varieties, and our cereals of untold quantities and excellent qualities. In fact the Monthly Oregonum of August was a veritable boom for our immediate locality.

And here is another one: "Itecause a man tool his own horn, or a woman examines her new sprint: bonnet before the looking-glass fre quentiy. or the editor boosts his town and com muntly his paper serves H does not follow that such people are wrapped up In themselves and their own interests. Neither does It follow that The Monthly oreirontan in advocating the col onuntiou plan as a goivl one Is doing more than It should. This Is our way of stirring up people at home and abroad. Tiik MEimiRh tOr. ) Mail has another way and goes at it in this fashion :" in here is the clipping referred to from TiikMaiu followed by their few encour aging lines "'Stay with it. gentlemen,, and Med ford will distance all competitors in a very few years more and you well you ought to be in It. The Monthly Oregonian is quite the correct journal to send to your friends in the east, and in consideration of tho courtesies shown Medford and South ern Oregon in ils August issue there ought to lie a goodly number of sub seibors secured right here.

I point out the redeeming features and tell you why there are such features. These features occur there because Mackey knows how to put them there. That is not egotism.
