Symptoms nro still favorable nnd becoming more so all the time for oarly commencement of work on the Butto creek-Medfurd Irregutlug and power canal. Messrs. G. D.Clark and O. D. McMurray, of San Francisco, two Interested par (lot In the project, bare been In the valley this week, and in company with C. B. Williams and En gineer McCary, drove out over tho pro posed line of the oanal to Pish lake. Tliero suems little doubt but that the canal will be built, In fact, wo have It direct that its construction It positively assured. The benefit which tbe canal will be to Medford and tho entire valley cannot be estimated. Its construction into Medford will make of this town, unless we be vory much mistaken, a town Ova times Its present size in as many years. It will stimulate tho business already here; It wilt en- courugo now enterprises, nnd it will build up a surrounding country that will easily give support to a town as lurge as Medford will then be. Every Droocrtv owner nnd ovorv laboring ' ' ,',,, nu, , , ,v,! enterprise the boarty, loyal support it deserves. The Kln-Hee coffee pot. sold by Warner U Worlman, is the boss of all articles in that line. Those who enjoy a oup of good coffee cannot well afford to miss looking into tbe eood qualities of this new invention. Among the lew needs of Medford is a foundry. An Institution of that kind could be made to pay a good re.enue, and aside from tho profit that would luure to tho projector, the town would bo materially benefitted by an enter prise of such a nature. M. M. Gault will donate nil tho extia lnnd he has near his machlna shop and It is thought that an additional amount can be se cured adjoining his property equal to tho demands of a foundry. Tho bus! noes men of Medford ought to take this mntler up und work to the end that this greully needed enterpriso be added to our town's business. .loo Ciisky, the scientific horse' shoer ai.d nil 'round mechanic, is again on deck nt Morriimtn's blacksmith shop.

I bavo no personal interest in your town as yot, but I hope to have and If any one thing more than another would induce mo to beeomo Interested it would be your fine br'u.-l: buildings, your well selcotcd and well nrranged stooks of goods, and your enterprising business men."
