Soldier Boya' Reception. If anyone was to tell you that Mod' ford people did not appreciate thebrav erv and valor of our boys on tbe Phil. lpplne battle fields and that we were not giaa lo welcome tnem nome, you could tell tbom tbey were delineator of untruths and a whole opera house full of people would back you np lo tbe denunciation. It was lost Friday forenoon that a few of our townspeople, among whom were Prof. Narregan, Wm. Sllnger and Mayor Gllkey, got a notion into their heads that a reception would be a very correct tniag. and these gentlemen called to their assistance Misses Grace FoBtcr and Alleen Webber, and a pro gram was arranged for Friday evening in the onera house and a banquet was ordered at Hotel Nash. Tbe opera house was well filled and the soldier boys who received the glad hand shake of those present were R. B. Dow. Alex. Galloway, James Grieve and Olney Hopwood. The program consisted of several excellent musical selections by the Medford band, a few remarks of welcome by Mayor Gllkey, a vocal solo by Miss Virgie Woodford; select reading by Dr. Piokel; a violin so'.o by little Delpha Hammond; vocal solo by Dr. Burnett. All these were well rendered ana were inny appreci ated by the audience, but the cap sheaf of tbem all was the recital of an or iginal poem by Miss May. Merriman. It was at noon on Friday tbat the com mittee asked Mies Merriman to favor the audience with a recitation and it was at 8:30 the Bame evening that the young lady bod composed ana commuted to memory the following lines, and we xuve it to our readers to say whother or not tbey are worthy the plaudits tbe looy received wnen tne poem won given 'o me audience: A TRIBUTE TO OUR BOYS.

Tho program was closed by tho sing ing of "America" by the audience, after which an boor's time was given to visiting and band shaking with the soldier boys. Later in tho evening about eighty persons adjourned from the opera bouse to the dining hall of Hotel Nash where a banquet was given. Tables were here spread with a most delicious and tempt ing repast. After all bad been served lavishly with cold meats, cakes and ice cream, Toastmaster Gllkey called upon Judge Crowell, who responded to the toast, "A Few Words," in terms appro priate and interesting. Attorney W. I. Vawter's subjeot was the "Battleship Oregon." He gave on account of tho Oregou's famous trip from the Pacific to the Atlnntlo and of the part our noble battleship took In sinking the Spanish fleet oft Santiago de Cuba on July 3, '98. Prof. N. L. Narregan re sponded to "What's the Matter With Oregon," and when ho had concluded the opinion prevailed generally that there wasn't a thing the matter with Oregon, or Oregon boys. Dr. E. B. Piokel'g subject was "The Girls Are in It," 'and truly thoy were. They were very much in evidence at the banquet and the soldier boys were practically snowed under wllh girls and the sol dier boys were thoroughly "in It. Lieutenant Fries' subject was "A Man With a Country." The young man, who Is a lieutenant In tho Engineer Corps of the regular army, spoke very understanding))' upon thia subjsot and brought out many a good point as soon and understood from the standpoint of a dutiful soldier. Following these were brief sneeohes bv the soldier boys and a reading by Alex. Galloway ot Chap lain Gilbert's dally memorandum oi the movements of tho Second Oregon from the d y they left Oregon to their return.
