The fair ground proposition is in about the same condition it was last week, except that at a meeting held Tuesday it was decided, by a vote of those present, to secure the Thomas tract of land, provided enough land could be purchased at a reasonable figure from the Fish tract to enable the association to build a mile track, the amount required being about ten or twelve acres. The committae has written Mr. Fish, but as yet has re ceived no definite answer. It was also decided at this meeting that the soliciting committee be instructed to solicit sale or stock upon a basis of 10 000 capital stock half paid up. The Thomas tract was offered for rent for $100 per year for ten years, which pro position met with favor. At the meet ing held last Saturday night C. Min gus presented a proposition to rent suffi cient land for fifteen years at $200 per year. This land is located just north of the school house on the Med ford and Jacksonville wagon road. No action taken on this proposition. Hon. Henry Klippel presented figures on the prob able cost of buildings, and fencing, which aggregated 81835. The gentle man was positive that $2000 would cover all of the buildings and fence expenses. A vote of thanks was tendered Messrs. Angle & Plymale for the courtesy ex tended in giving the free use of their opera house for these meetings. The Tuesday evening's meeting adjourned to meet at the call of the committee on grounds. The Multnomah Club cigars are unquestionably the best lor a nickel on the market. They are sold by I. A. Mounce and sold so swiftly that an order went in for 5000 of them last reek and they are now here. They are a standard article and just as staple as sugar and flour. When there is a mar ket for any cigar the one selected is the Multnomah Club. It is king wheat. I. A. Mounce. A. T. Markley, proprietor of the Aloha fruit evaporator was somewhat undecided last season as to whether or not be would make a winning by estab lishing an evaporator plant in Medford The run last year was light, owing to his lack of room and the scarcity of fruit, but Mr. Markley was satisfied ven with the business he did then. This year he enlarged his plant and since the first coming of fruit bis es tablishment has been running to its fall capacity and he is now more than satisfied in fact, he threw up his hands onlv a few davs ago and remarked that he had enough for one season. He has nut through bis evaporator since the season opened just 160,000 pounds of green fruit, lie will snip a carioaa of dried fruit iust as soon as the pack insr is complete. All enterprises that start up in Medford, il properly hand led, meet a fate like unto- that ol Mr. Markley which is a pleasant one. A cannery would do a big business right here and be a profit to its owner and the county generally. Because that I have opened an harness shop in Gold Hill it does not necessarily follow that I have quit Medford. I am stUl here and prepared to supply all customers with the best article in horseware in the valley. Re paring is right in my line. J. W. Lawton. J. W. Lawton, the Medford har ness man, has decided to open up a branch shop in Gold Hill. His father, r. T. Lawton, wUl have charge of the Gold Hill branch and the gentleman is this week engaged in getting matters and things in 6hape for an opening on Tuesday of next week. He has leased one of the Fitzgerald store build ings. He will move his family and household effects and expects to make that town his permanent abiding place. He will keep on band a full line of ready made harness and will do repair- i r 1 1 UnJ rTx7ij Matt 4ialikia tn linger & Fiiyno have dissolved partner- J fews at home that require ringinsr to Mr. Pavne drops out and joo run ship, takes his place, the new firm being stvled BeUln-rer & Co. Mr. Payne, however, has not quit the business, but continues as before with hisown team, and single handed. The advent of Mr. Hill into the draymen s arena gives us just au even six in that line of work, j Three years ago one team was doing the work that require five to do today. Oh! no, Medford isn't growing nor nothing just growing, that's all. Some people want a cigar Mat is made of better material than that put in those that are sold for a nickel, some want a still better one than a ten center. The Monogram sells two for twenty-five, but it is worth the price, because that the material is a cream article. - All who try them once are sure to come again. 1. A. Mounce, opposite the postoffiiee. A. Harding, a gentleman who lives at Ashland, hut who in former years served his time as boss packer in the large packing nouses at Omaha, is now engaged in packing meat-for Ed. Wil kinson. He promises tnat bd win nave the pleasure of selling some as fine sugar cured hams as ever came out of the Omaha shops. Mr. Harding ana the gentlemanly Ed. Wells who can do a fine job of singing as well as slaughtering pork are working shoul der to shoulder in this packing house and the two are putting up something like seventy-five hogs per week which work wnl continue as long as the nog supply nolds out. LaBelle Creole is a cigar and it is being extensively advertised. It is a gentleman's cigar and sells iwo-for-twenty-five some of them, not quite so good sell for ten cents straight. You make no common error in trying a La Belle. I. A. Mounce keeps them and sells them lots of them. The plow trial came off as an nounced at Mr. Asa Fordyce's place last Saturday, under the direction of Mr. D. C Brownell, who is represent ing the Baker & Hamilton manufactur ing company, perhaps the largest im plemei t manufacturers on the coast. The testa proved satisfactory for dry plowing and it is said that another trial is to be given a little later when the ground will be in condition for good work. The company is preparing to establish an agency here and like wise to set forth the excellencies of their wares through the columns of The Mail- Wet feet are not comfortable. Provide yourselves with rubbers. We are making prices that are way down on this line of goods. Rubbers from 15 cents up. Ladies', misses' and gen tlemen's mackintoshes.. CranfiU & Hutchison. The Edward Smith's auction sale was well attended last Wednesday and the goods and real estate sold brought good prices. The store building and lot on South Front street was sold to J. A. Lyon for $461; the Asnlana real estate was bought by S. C. Rubble, of Josephine county, for 1200; the organ brought !65, and all household effects brought correspondingly good prices. Mr. Smith expects to leave soon with his family for California where they will travel from place to place with team and wagon and do gospel work. Ben Hur Chariot Race March, the latest. All latest music, fashion plates, fashion magazine's and other literature found at The Crater. Special orders taken by Miss OUie R. Butler. It is a pleasure to TnE Mail, to note that Medford people are royally entertained while in Portland, and none the least of these was Miss Carrie Lumsden. The lady visited Portland but a week or two ago and while there her raanv friends banqueted her in a royal manner at Highland hall, about seventy friends being present and all these to do her honor. A six o'clock dinner was also given in honor of her jvisit bv Mrs. Whipple. As a matter of fact Miss L,umsuen "naa a very brinir together his home flock. As Mr. C.

Ferguson returned Mouday from a five days' hunting trip up on Elk creek. They bunted not quite two days, saw twenty two deer, killed four and brought a large delicious piece of deer tenderloin steak to THE Mail shop. They report that the woods are full of deer but they, being unaquainted with the lay of the country and the run of the deer, did not get nearly so many as they might bad circumstances been differ ent. It's just as easy to try One Minute Cough Cure as any thing else. It's easier to cure a severe cough or cold with it. Let your next purchase for a cough be One Minute Cough Cure.

Wilkinson has moved into his new shop and we are safe in saying that he now has one of the neatest meat markets in the state. The walls have been frescoed, and ceiling hand somely decorated, and by the addition of new blocks and counter the shop presents a very neat appearance. The tile floor in the front part of the shop is a very pretty design and adds uia terily to the appearance of the shop.
