and received soino(ultu serious wounds.
They wore picked up by the train

when) an examination was made by
physicians. It was found that Mr. 1'cck
was biulBcd quite badly about thu head
and his buck was badly sprained. Mrs.

broken arm, both legs wero badly
bruised nnd sbo hud received a wound

Injuries wero also looked aftor and she
was taken to tho home of her father,

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.

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.

A Stranger: "I notice in Modford
that vory neirly all your business
blocks aro built of brick. I like that.
It indicates a substantiality and stability
that Is not often soon in towns the size
of Modford. It indicates a pormanency
that is good for a town and I tell you
I like It. 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."
