As will be seen by posters scattered about the city the Medford Choral Union will give a concert at the opera house on this, Friday evening. Reserve Beat tickets are on sale at H. H. Howard & Co.'s grocery store and they are going like hot cakes on a winter's morning and that is right and proper these people ought to be patronized because they are deserving, and because that when a little music is needed for any public occasion those are the people we call upon, and then again we ought to patronize them be cause of the real value of the concert they are going to give us. Medford has some pretty good singers better than the average towns of its size and of this fact we ought to be proud some are others don't seem to care much, but whether they do or do not care all ought to be interested enough in the well-being of the town to patronize an entertainment of this nature. It costs money to keep an organization such as the Choral Union in sheet music and ball rents' If the Union furnlshea the voices we ought to buy sheet music and pay the rents and the sale of tickets would seem to Indicate that that's what we intend to do. The money taken in at this con cert is wholly applicable to payment of local expenses. Aside from there be ing on the program the names of some of the best singers in Medford there are several from abroad, who have a reputation over the entire state who will assist Friday night. The price is 25 cents for general ad mission and 36 cents for reserved seats. Following is the paoaauf. Ensemble, Gloria, lltb H Morart Male nuartat. Lovelv Nlaht. ...... . .Hfttton b. DQpr.no ..

Charlton, assistant general passenger ngont of the Northern Pacific, "is a won derful camp. There is no question about that. But while evervono is talking about Sumpter, other ruin ing districts in Oregon should not be forgotten. Keep vour eye on Southern Oregon, that district will boom next." In speaking about Southern Oregon, Mr. Charlton said the Rogue river valley and the din tricts around Grants Pass, Bohemia, Blue River, etc., offered just as fine opportunities to capital as Sumpter Many people, ho said, were com plaining because they had not lo cated in Sumpter previous to the boom. Tho same chances, ho said, awaited thorn in Southern Oregon, and in another year they would be upbraiding themselves for having let pass other opportunities. SOUTHERN OREGON'S BIO GOLDEN HARVEST. From the Portland Telegram. A golden harvest will be the re sult of the recent heavy rains in the Southern Oregon mining dis trict. More placer dirt will be moved during the season than within the four past years together. The authority for this statement is Engineer Howard, of Medford, who ran the surveys for the Gold Hill High Land Ditob Company, whioh will construct a ditch nearly 80 miles in length for p'.acer mining. For 20 years there had not been such a heavy rainfall as this recent one. The hills are thoroughly soaked to bedrock, and will have absorbed enough moisture to last until July or later. Springs that have been dried up for the 20 years past will bubble afresh and gulches which have Jain dry during that titr-e will be sluiced and forced to yield up their golden treasure. Mr. Howard says this means that Southern Oregon's geld output will be four times larger than usual, and that new commercial life olood will pulsate through the entire system of local industries. This boom in Southern Oregon, he says, together with the activity in eastern Oregon, ought to make Portland hum, if it ever intends to hum. A curious fact about the Southern Oregon placer district is that the hills and mountains make excellent reservoirs whenever there is heavy enough rainfall. Tbe mountains, many of them, are only covered by coating of snow and therefore everything depends upon the rain. Unless enough rain falls to soak the hills to bedrock the hot spring sun soon absorbs the moisture and the springs are dried up. Other wise like the present season, when the moisture reaches bedrock, it oozes forth more slowly and is a constant source of supply to the creeks and springs. A great deal of dirt has been moved already, but nothing to what the miners are preparing to move. Mining Property for Sale. Because of poor health I have decided to sell or trade my placer mine, on Foots creek. This is a good property, but I am unable to work it properly, It I cannot sell for cash will trade for town property. The property will go cheap. Call and see me. , J. Lamsek. .

The farmers all ovor the country count amongst their heaviest expenses to run tbe farm, the lumber bill. All are undoubtedly Interested to learn of a medium to reduce tbe same at least to half IU former cost . This medium Is carbo llneum avenurlus, a wood preserving paint basod on SO yeara' experience. Maay aro of th i opinion that paint, tar and llnaeod oil will pro serve tho wood against rot and dcoay. Those coatlnga only form an air tight covor, but do not destroy tho albumlnum parte of the wood, which always start the rot.' The coatlnga with abovo mentioned niatorlnls prevent the evapo- -ration of the wood and tho oouaoquonoo Is dry rot. Carbollnluin avenarlua, on tho contrary, ' penetrates docply Into the wood and destroys all present doony. matters. Tho carbollneum avonarlua Is applied with a brush and ImparU a nloe nut brown oolor to the wood. It Is used on the farm for painting barns, granaries, silos posts, sumgies, bridges, ohlcken coops, etc, and all woodwork above and below the ground. -Carbollneum avonarlus Is also the most radical remedy agalnat cbloken lice. If yon want nlentr of ogga and healty ehlokons, the chlokens must be free from lice and mites, Carboliueum avonarlur will keep your honbouse free from this plague.
