About The Medford mail. (Medford, Or.) 1893-1909 | View Entire Issue (Sept. 25, 1896)
The Mail publishers have lived in divers parts of the United States other than those of Oregon, and while we have been telling our readers dur ing the past three and a half years that this country was positively the best all 'round place of abode in the United States, there have been those whose knowledge of other lands and climes was limited who have branded us as unmitigated liars and not possessed of the requisites of one grain of truth. We haven't been saying a word all these times but that which was good of Southern Oregon and Medford. In the face of this fact it is right now most gratifying to us to receive the follow ing communication from Rev. E. E. Thompson, who left here a few weeks ago for Eureka, California, where him self and family expect lo reside. Here is what he writes: 'Just arrived here (September 15th). Like the face of the country very well. However, things smell musty from too much fog and rain. Tell my Medford friends to make haste slowly in leaving the Rogue river valley nothing better here. 'Hard times' is the general cry." How many items of the above nature will be re quired to convince you people of this valley, who are just a little dissatisfied, that the pasture land over some partic ular range of mountains- is no greener than right here at home ? Let us tell vou candidly that hard times prevail ' every where. And again, still cana idlv. let us tell you that they do not nrevail here to anywhere near the ex tent they do in a g'reat many other lo calities. The diversity of our farm and orchard products is directly responsible for the comparitiyely easy times with us. while the extensive mining in our adioininsr mountains and valleys furn ishes a means of livihood which does not exist in all localities in fact, only in a fe When a merchant gets in a line of o-oods that the ladies all admire, ana for which they speak words of praise, you can well conclude that the goods are all right. Last week we advertised a new line of ladies' capes and jackets and we have since sold a great many of these articles and still have some left. The ladies' opinion as regards our ' capes and jackets is the same as to our dress goods, hosiery, notions anu every thine else that .we handle. V e posi tively handle nothing but good goods xand we divide the. usual merchant's nmfits with Durchasers. W. H. Meeker & Co. J. F. Loosley. the Ft. Klamath creamery man. came to Medford last week with 1500 pounds of butter from his creamery. The butter was placed in cold storage at the Medford Ice plant, since which time Mr. Loosley has been eneaeed in working it into mils and shiDDinsr it to San Francisco. The gentleman states his crea nery has made this 3eason about 9000 pounds of butter, and aside from this he has made four or five tons of cheese. All of these .two products, he states, he ' finds a ready sale for in the larger cities of the coast, principally San Francisco. The season for operation at the creamery commences April 1st and closes December 1st. During the season iust cast an average of 250 cows have supplied the milk for the cream ery. At times tne numoer nas reacnea 300 but the average is not far from 2oO. This is Mr. Looslev's first visit to Med ford but having read the many pleas ant little words sooken for our town In the columns of THE MAH. during the past year, he, like many others, de cided to "try it one whirl for luck." He will load back with merchandise of a varied nature and we are satisfied . that his first visit will not be his last. He is a eentleman always keen for good bargains and he will not lose sight of the treatment extended him by Med ford merchants. His success in op erating the Ft. Klamath creamery proves him a gentleman of sterling ability while his judgment was not at fault when he headed his team Med fordway. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs day of this week were opening days at Mrs. Sears' millinery store, and the business done upon these days was entirely 'satisfactory, so much so that trimmers have been kept busy : the en tire week trimming hats to replace those sold. Mrs. Sears wishes us to state that new goods will be on exhibi tion every daythus giving ner patrons new designs to select from. The Oriental livery stables, W. T. Crane, proprietor, have changed hands and the new proprietor is none oiner than I. A. Mounce, he who has been in business in Medford for the past two and a half years. The deal was consu mated on Wednesday and Mr. Mounce immediately took charee. The price oaid for the property consisting of two lots on D street, upon which is the brick stables, five rigs and five teams was $2300. Mr. Mounce will put in a couple of fine new rigs and stock up with the best teams to be had and make divers other improvements to and about the barn which will make it - second to none in the county. The citizens of Medford and vicinity need no introduction to Mr. Mounce from The Mail as he has been among us long enough to be weli and fayorably known by all. He is a straight up. hnnpht. voun? man and we have no haaitancv in savin? that he will, with the hust'iing which he is capable of do- ine. establish for himsell a business rnial to his hiehest expectation. His advertisement will appear in these col umns next week. What business Mr, . Crane will follow we are unable to state Oregon Kidney tea physicians . prescribe it, druggists recommend it and the thoussnds who have used it testifiy to its wonderful remedial virtues. Sold by Chas. Strang, drug gist. The Weber dramatic company is in the valley again. They passed through Medford Sunday evening, stopping at Central Point, where they will play every night this week. From there thev will eo to Jacksonville and play a three night engagement. Fred Moore, he who plays lead parts with the company and is stage manager and an alfired nice gentleman and good actor, waB in Medford Monday upon business. He stated that Mr. Weber is undecided as regards to playing Med ford. The company was here last Feb ruary and made, a three night stand, but were not well "patronized. They did somerf. the. best dramatic work at that time that was ever put on the Medford stage and deserved better bus- I iness than they received. Mr. Moore I states that the company is stronger now than when they were nere last winter and that they are putting on some en tirely new pieces. Their repertoir now consists of Ole- Olson, Soloman Brim, The Brother's Oath, Divorce, A Wo man's Bitter Attonement, Tom Roark's Vision, and Chick, the Mountain Waif. The last three named were played in Medford by this company last winter. Mrs. C. W. Palm nas just received a large and complete stock of fall mil linery, comprising all the latest nov e'ties in hats and trimmings, and re spectfully invites the ladies of Rogue river valley to call, examine goods ana get prices. Through an unfortunate misunder standing as to the probable cost of con testing for the mineral lands which the O. & C it. K. company are seeking to patent as agricultural lands, quite a number of those who had filed protests failed to appear. The idea gained by some was to the effect that in order to contest for their claims it would be necessary for them to go to the ex pense, not only of going to Jackson ville with their witnesses, but that they would be required to go to the ad ditional expense of appearing in per son and with tb.eir witnesses and at torneys before the land othce at itoso- burg, and that the cost would ulti mately be more tnan tney coma ex pect to realize lor their claims, xnis imnressiou is entirely erreonous. All that would have been necessary lor them to have done was to go before the referee at Jacksonville and give their testimony when it would be properly certified to and sent to the land office to be acted upon. The cost would pro bably not in any case be more than $10, and in a great many not to exceed six or seven dollars. When i Medford don't fail to call at the Medford gallory on isoria is street ana see the beautiful samples of all kinds of photographic work. You are welcome. Viewing, copying and enlarging a specialty. Miser & Rod deu, photographers. The Klamath Falls Republican, after speaking of the arrival of a couple of gentlemen in that town.close's with tnis: air. tun reports uve families en route from the east to Klamath county. Unless they come in contact in Jackson county with the nronosition. 'vou have eono far enough: Klamath is N. G,' they will probably reaca nere in aue season. The editor of the Republican is very lame in his conclusions if he hgures we Rogue river valley people would do or say that which would tend to dis courage emigration to Klamath county. Jackson and Klamath counties are closely allied in many respects and the people' of both counties are as one family. The industry or Immigration move that prospers tne one as wen prospers the other. The Rogue river valley has no eooa reason 10 in row stones in Klamath county's immigra tion road, nor does she. We people over here want Jackson county to prosper and we feel the same Interest in Klamath and Lake. C. W. Wolters received a large in voice of his celebrated "Pansy" crock ery this week. This particular style and flowering is by far the prettiest ever brought to Mediora ana narue is always all right as to quality ana low p'ices. Among the various improvements noticeable among the business houses in Medford which have been made during the past couple of weeks is the new store fixtures just put in po sition at Parker 4 Higgins confection ery store. The old shelving and counters have been replaced oy in question they will serve a first-class dinner of coffee, sshttwiches, cakes pies and other of those edibles which are good for life's sustenance. The pro ceeds from this dinner will be put into the new parsonage fund, and th9 ladies are hopeful of increasing the fund considerably. They wish us to state that the dinner is to be non-partisan and that either gold or silver will be acceptable in payment for the din ner even nickels and coppers will not be spurned. If dull, spiritless and stupid; if your blood is thick and sluggish; if your appetite is capricious and uncer tain, you need a Sarsaparilla. For best results take De Witt's. It recommends tself. Geo. H. Haskins, druggist. Jesse' Hanks, a young man who came to Medford some time ago from Klamath Falls, rented a bicycle from J. A. Whitman on September 14, aud was to return the same in two hours' time. He rode out of town in the direction of Central Point, but failed to return, and last Saturday be was located ut Glendale by Constable Woolf, of this elty, who had a warrant for his arrest, and Sunday brought him back to Medford. It appears that he had rode down to Rock Point where he left the bicycle with a party who agreed to return it to Mr. Whitman, but failed to do so. He was taken be fore Justice Jones Monday and had his examination postponed until Friday. Our stock of fall and winter cloth ing has arrWed and a more complete assortment, as to sizes and quality, than we have ever handled before. W H. Meeker & Co. Our good townsman, F. A. Bliss, is having a whole heap more sickness in his family than is an even ratio with the rest of us people. Something like two months ago his daughter, Miss Zorah, was taken ill with fever, aud not until the past few days has there been any noticeable improvement. She is now, however, recovering rapidly. Another daughter. Miss Hattie, has also been ill for the past couple or three weeks, and also Mrs. Bliss. All are now improving and F. A. is gradu- i i i ' - l . i . i: . i - . -.11 any oeinuiniu ieui mail me is iiulwu a cloud of misfortunes,, but that there is much of sunshine in the home where convaleseense reigns.

An employe of the S. P. company wont north Tuesday on a railroad ve locipede.'His particular line of duty be ing the inspection of the foundation of depots along the line. It is to bo hoped that he found the underpinning of Medford's minature waiting room, ticket office and freight house com bined in such a bad slate of decompo sition as to necessitate the building of a new depot. There is no station along the line which is more entitled to a new and larger depot building and 'tis said tho company fully realizes this fact and that some day our fondest hopes will bo realized. Muslins: cheap, medium, best aualitv. If you want some you know ! where to get it at Van Dyke's. Dr. Pickel and Horace Nicholson went down to Rogue river last Friday afternoon to try Horace's new No. 20 shot gun on some of the ducks in that locality. They returned just anout dark whether their return was made at this late hour for the purpose of concealing the fact that they only had one poor little duck and a mud hen or ndt, we have failed to learn. Hor ace savs.the No. 20 is all right for ducks "but the result of Friday after noon? sport fails lo verify his state- statement.

Martin, a gentleman in the employ of the Squaw Creek Mining company, and himself an owner of a good placer proposition in tne Appie- gate councry, was in Medford Tuesday upon business. From him iHE wail, learned of a reported rich placer find over on Pickens creek. The find was made bv a miner named Kirth and Is one of those numerous old high chan nels. The first discovery was made well up the mountain side from the Pickens creek bed, but only on one side of the creek. Since the first discovery was made the same channel has been located on the opposite side of the same creek. No figures are given as to its worth but it is estimated to 00 as valuable as the very rich Sterling mine. The property has already been bouded at a big figure and active opera tions are soon to commence. The chan nel has a depth of from two to twelve feet and 100 inches of water can be eas ily put onto it. At G. L. Davis' grocery store will always be found a fine assortment of fruits of all varieties. Geo. E. Floyd and family arrived in Medford last week from Kerby, Josephine county." Immediately, fol lowiner their arrival here Mr. Floyd commenced putting on the business harness the first move being that of leasing the Western hotel. No. sooner was the keys turned over to nim man did he commence a general renovation and overhauling of the house. He starts in like he meant business and his movements seem to indicate that nothing short of a first-class hostlery will fill the bill. He appears like a very fine gentleman and his good wife is said so be a lady well fitted for the position of landlady. The house, Mr. Floyd states, will be conducted in a strictly first-class manner and nothing will be left undone that will tend to the comfort of guests. Calico !
