NEWS OF THE CITY.
ft-
Last week we stated that Dr. B. F.
Adkitis and Mrs. Denmson were soon to
erect a brick block on the south side of
Seventh street. We were not quite
positive as the accuracy of the item
when we wrote it, but we ventured one
chance at a guess and we guessed it
the first time, only it will bo Dr.
Adkins and Spencer Childers, Jr., who
will put up the block. On Monday of
this week Mr. Childers made a pur
chase of one of the lot of Mrs. Dennison
and at once began figuring with Mr.
Adkins on the combination building
and in less than a few hours the deal
was closed and a few hours later men
were at work in the quarry getting out
rock for the foundation . Work of ex
cavating the trenches has been com
menced and the work entire is to
be pushed as rapidly as possible. The
building is to be 50x134 feet in size and
two stories high. Mr. Childers will
build both his own and Dr. Adkins?
building furnish all the material and
do all the work. The Childers' lower
storeroom has been leased to the Law
ton boys. J. vV. will occupy one half
of the front while D. T., or rather,
Mitchell, Lewis and Staver company,
will occupy the other half of the front
aad all the rear. Dr. Adkins' room
has not been rented as yet, but there
are already several applicants 10- it.
The rock for the foundation is being
gotten out on J. V. Lawton's Griffin
creek farm, upon which there is an
almost inexhaustible quarry of- splendid
building rock and very handy to gel at.
The erection of this brick building
closes. up another solid block of build
ings fronting on one of our principal
streets, and all of the buildings are two
stories high while some of them are
three. Now if the same spirit will get
possession of property owners on the
opposite side-of the street there will be
bricks an equal to which a cluster of
will be difficult to find in any land.

A second meeting of the Medford
Wazamas was held at city council halls
on Monday evening of this week.
There was a goodly number of mem
bers present and a right lively session
was had. Prof. G. A. Gregory was
chosen president, Dr. K. B. Picket,
vice president, George Bogers secre
tary and Miss Clara Skeel treasurer.
The title given the organization w:is
'"The Medford Crater Lake Society."
There was quite a heated contest o-er
the date upon which theelection of offi
cers should occur, but as the discussion
and contest were of a friendly nature
and in reality only originated for the
purpose of affording a little pleasant
diversion there was nothing said or
done which could have originated from
motives of malice or ill feeling. After
the election of officers, and minor
other points had been settled u;wn the
society adjourned each one determined
to maKe it his or her personal duty to
let not an opportunity ro by which
would tend to the successful arrange
ment of a grand reception for our Ma
zania friends should they decide to
jnake Crater lake the scene of their
next year's encampment and to use
all efforts possible in setting forth the
advantages resultant from the visitors
deoarture for the. lake from this point.
The president having been empowered
at this meeting to apoint an executive
committee announced Tuesday evening
that be had appointed as such com-;
mittte Messrs. AJ S. Blilou, Post
master.1. S. Howard, J. W. Lawton
and Misses Delia Pickel and Jessie
Worman the president and secretary,
by the motion were made ex-officio
members of this committee. The
membership fees were placed at twenty
five cents for ladies and lifty cents for
gentlemen. :' Kverybody is eligible to
become members. The date of elec
tion of officers was fixed for'fhe third
Monday in September of each year.

The sad news of the death of our
good friend and subscriber, Mr. J . B.
Hendershot, was recieved at this office
last week after we had gone to press.
Mr." Hendershol's death occurred on
Monday ,-September 23rd, of strangulat
ed hernia, and after only one day's
illness. Funeral services were con
ducted the following day by Itev. Down
ing, of Central Point, and interment
was made in the Rock Point cemetery.
Mr. Hendershot formerly lived east of
Medford and only a couple of years ago
he purchased a small farm near Bolt
upon which he resided at the time of
hisdeath. He was a brother of Mrs.
H. A. Morey, of this city, and of Mrs. .1.
W. Short, of Bott. He leaves a wife
and six children, the oldest being but
eleven years -of age. Mrs. Bonder

Wo neglected to chronicle last
week a slight conflagration which oc
curred at the residence of M. S. Damon.
It was during the dark hours of Thurs
day night thnt Mrs. Damon mistook
the sound sleep of her husband for an
illness with which he is sometimes af
flicted. and called to Ulysses who was
sleeping up stairs to go for a physi
cian. Ulysses hastily arose, lighted a
lamp, dressed and started up town.
When only a short distance from the
house Mrs. Damon's persistent efforts
to awaken her husband were successful
and she called to Ulysses to return.
A few minutes later a crackling noise
was heard upstairs and upon investiga
tion it wa found that a stand end a
part of one partition were on fire.
Quick work soon smothered the Dames,
but not until considerable damage had
been done. It is supposed that in his
haste Ulysses dropped the match with
which he lighted the lamp on the
stand cover.
Mrs. G. L. Webb wants to see you,

and "special sales') until the new

The vigerous blowing of the mill
whistle, together with-.tbe ringing of
the fire bell, at Friday noon, called
a large majority of our citizens from
their dinners to assist in extinguishing
a tire which bad gained considerable
headway upon the roof of Chas. Mil
ton's blacksmith shop, on Ninth street,
between C and D. Taylor Payne drove
to the engine house and hooked onto
the hose cart and the way that bay
leara made the dust fly was a caution.
A line of hose was laid and tbo tire
extinguished and the hose reeled in ten
minuter after the alarm was given.
The damage was not very heavy, but
the entire roof will have to bu replaced
with a new one. Some of the tools
were damaged considerable. Mr. Mil
ton was at dinner at the time, and can
not account for the fire. It seems that
the tire originated on the work bench
in the corner of the shop and about
eight feet from the fOrse.
The customer must buy where he
can get the cheapest. That is why G.
L. Webb goes to New York. The one
that buys the cheapest can sell cheap

Hotel Nash is doing a splendid
business these times, the rooms being
nearly all occupied every night and
sometimes there are not enough, of
them to meet the demand. This proves
beyond a shadow of doubt that it was a
goixl hotel Medford needed. There is
also being proven the fact that Landlord
"Shorty" is quL'.e the proper gentle
man in the very correct nlaoe. There
was, in years agone, a cry that tho com
mercial travelers would not stop in
Medford over Sunday because of our
poor hotel accommodations. Whether
this was then true or not deponent
sayelh not, but right now the scales
are turned and 'tis no uncommon thing
to see a dozen, more or less, of these
gentlemen busking in the luxuries of

North C street, near Seventh, and on

open the tent for their lirst religious
services in this city. While the ma

serving God in just this stylo it is
really not necessary that there bu any
disturbance made because of the com
