U Uncle Dick Good Authority?
Our Kugle Point correspondent nuts
up a bit of news in the following which
was uiuong hit items tliis week. Has
Mr. llowlell been imliioing loo Ireeiy
ol leriiient:d swoet cider, or has he
been dreuming u dream of tho possi
bilities should such a thing as he nar
rates tuke place. Tiik Mail is hoping
real hard that something ol that nature
will take place not that we really nsed
it to assure success in ulinosl every
undertaking yet we would be materially
bciiolllleil and would grow loues great
big city that much sooner. In street
purlunce "tlioro would lie a hot time in
the old town" when Biich a thing would
tuke place. Hero is Uncle Dick's item:
"11 is wnisporca arounu among vue
knowing ones thut there is to be quite
revolution in the business manage
ment ol Medlord. and instead ol using
steam iHiwcr to pump water lor the city
and run the grist mill and generate
electricity for lighting the city, etc.,
that a move is on tool lo taKo me power,
thut is running to waste, from our
bountiful ltutle creek, transmit it to
Medlord and thus nave an annuul ex
pense ol thousands ot dollars, but per
haps I am letting the cat out of the
wallet."-

Dillon Hill: "I don't think Rey
nolds, the follow whom it wus presumed
hud estruyed, has been found. It is
rather a strange cose, oui l am oi tne
opinion that he is all right and will
show up before long. I had settled
with him and I did not think it especi
ally strange that he did not return.'
Wm.Bateman: "Things are mighty
quiet over at Bossburg, Washington,
wbere l was nrsl. wiins rownsena
be who used to live tn Medtord, is there
doing carpenter work. No, he is not
doing nrsl rate no one IB. i was at
Spokane lor lour months, you can
get into business there unless you have
lots ol money.'
A citizen; "As a parent and a man
who believes In orderly communities
and good schools, I want to Bay that we
are too neglectful of our children.
The noblest thing parents can do for
their children is to inculcate in their
minds their duty to God, home und
country. Tbe parents who can do this
oan look- duck tn tneir declining years,
and say: 'I did my duty as a parent.'
And 1 believe children win do tneir
duty to their aged parents if their
minds are guioeo in tne rtgnicnannei.
W. T. Kame: "Our party of deer
hunters returned Saturday from Butte
creek. Could we have stayed over
Saturday we would surely have brought
In a wagon load oi deer, because that
a Hurry ot snow covered tne ground
early Saturday morning and we could
easily have trailed tnem. As it was i
shot a large, fat four year-old. Yes,
the preachers, deacons and their fami
lies and friends took possession of my
home during my absence and had a gay
old time but that's all right. .It was
for a good cause,"
A. S. Johnson: "What are the Med
tord merchants going to do regarding
the building ot that wagon road over
the mountains to connect with the
Sterling road. A good mile of road is
being built on the other 'side by the
citizens and it seems to me that Med
ford people can well afford to assist in
the construction of tbe road over tbe
mountains. We ranchers and miners
want to do trading In your city and are
willing to do all that's possible, but we
want some help. Even the Chinamen.
over that way are working on the new
road."
