spry and cheerful, but a new rupture

Choral Concert Friday Night.
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.

JUST AS GOOD IN 801'TUERN OKEOOS.
An Interview In Portland Tolesram.
"Sumpter," says A. P. 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.

Carbollneum Avenarlus.
Tae most radical roniody agalnat ohlcken lie
and tho beat wood-preserving paint la earbolla
eura avenarlua, manufactured In Uormany only.
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,
