Id our write-up of Oakdaie addition to Medford last spring we stated that when J. H. Stewards new residence was completed we would give it a more extensive notice. The house is com pleted aad when shown through it a reporter found it to he one of the best appointed residences in the city. It is a large, ten room, two-story house, re plete with all the latest approved heat ing and ventilating appliances. These rooms are all very commodious, with hot and cold water in each of them. At the rear end of the house he has a good sized room with cement floor and a perfect drainage system in which is sunk a large cistern, from which water can be used for drinking and cooking purposes. From the large windmill which he has had erected are pipes running to every room in the house with sufficient pressure to throw water, should it be needed, to extin- a-uish conflagration, should any occur. In all of these rooms are hose and hose attachments ready for use. The whole house is a model of neatness and -the workmanshiD shows unmistakeable evi dence of a master mechanic hand. The cost of the residence is about three thousand dollars. "I've been talking about pretty things in general that is, about my iovelv line ot crocKery oui i m going to tell vou about pretty things in par ticular this week. I've just received some of the finest banquet lamps ever seen in Southern Oregon so pretty that even the most fastidious could but admire.

Pickel received one thousand fish Tuesdav from Leadville, Colorado, seat bere by the government to be planted in Crater lake. The Oater Lake club of this city and the Mazamasof Portland have been cor responding for some time with the view to securing .the fish and the credit for the successful consumation is due -to their persistent efforts. Oeo. Anderson left for Crater lake rodar to deliver the fish at the lake. Aa soon as they were received Dr. Pickel, one of the prime factors in the enterprise, started a subscription paper and the amount necessary to have them taken to the lake was soon subscribed. The Mazamas of Portland contributed ten dollars and the bal Laace of the thirty dollars was readily made up by the Medford Crater Lake clubandthe citizens of Medford who are interested in the work. There cannot be 'too much praise given to these people for the very commendable iri terprise shown in this matter and it is to be sincerely hoped that their, efforts will be rewarded with the success it merits'. - A glance'at the millinery depart tnent at the Racket, presided over by Mrs. Sears, reveals one of the busiest departments of any store in the city.
