We have been unable to get the figure from all shippers, but the shipments of J. A. Whitman, of Medford, will reach fif teen carloads including throngh and local shipments. Add to this the amount shipped by individual growers and chief among which is the shipments of J. H. Stewart, which was in round numbers eighteen carloads of pears and two carloads of dried fruit, and it will make a good sized train. The Ti"iws rvairl have hen verv irond- and j.. . .

East Medford, as we have reiterat ed from time to time, is fast forging ''Sinks that will make that particular lo cality one of the most prominent resi dent parte of the city. Last week Hon. Garl T. Jones surveyed, and this week is platting, seventeen acres of land be longing to J. S. Hagey and H- Tripp eight and one-half acres each. The land is situated on the south side of East Seventh 6treet and is beautifully located for residence purposes. The lots as laid off embrace one-half acre each, six of which front to the north on Seventh street, and the remainder of them will face' to the" east and west on a forty-six foot street, which these gentlemen have had laid out, from Seventh street south to the river, the street being located on the line between the two pieces of recently platted property. These lots will be put on the market at once aud will be sold at $200 each. . . Agents wanted, to canvass for "Sil ver and Gold," or "Both sides of the Money Shield."'

It is conclusively evident that no one particular part of Medford is grow ing, to any great degree, faster than others, but every way the compass points there can be seen new dwelling houses or business blocks in the course of construction. The West addition is no exception to this general rule, in fact it is a few shades ahead on sales. The' owner, Mr. T. F. West, has thir; week sold, for a consideration of 233, lots six and seven, block three, to Lee Watkins, a gentleman who arrived in Medford with his family last week from Cripple Creek, Colorado. The gentle man expects to- very soon commence 1 the erection of a dwelling house.
