gliutleinan who It was expected would
put In tho plant, has luniid himself
someivhat crippled In the matter of suf
ficient funds to establish u ciinniiiy of
thn proportions he hud miippod out. It
will ho dllllcult to ngujn soon arouse the

has huon inunlfi.'St among the growers
during tho past fow months, Tho way
which aeemi. now possible will bo the
eHtubllahiriont of a cannery In udvunce
of any guarantee from tho growers.
The fact, however, has been proven that
the raw material can be produced, und
will ho produced, when thero Is a de
mand for It, but that demund must be
In substantial evidence. Tho publisher
of this paper has taken a deep interest
n this cannery proposition mid no per
son rogrots tho unfavorable turn which
It him taken moro thun ho doos. How-
over, we must not despair Tho field for
successful operation ol a plant of this
naturo Is bore and it will bo but a short
time before a man of enterprise and
apltul will drop In among us ready to
liundlo our products, but the cannery
must bo In ovlduncc before a guarantoo
to produco is given by tho farmers.

J. W. Daker, senior proprietor of
tho Grants Pass Steam Laundry is In
Medford this week arranging for the
establishment of a laundry business in
Modford. Tho plan he has mapped out
will be that of putting on n laundry
wagon, thereby introducing a free col
lecting and delivery of laundry articles.
The laundry work for the present will
bo done in Grants Pass. The faot that
the Mod foul city water Is notconsldered
suitable for laundry work precludes any
possibility of establishing a plant here
for the present. Mr. Barker Will com
nienco making a from house to house
canvass next wook and ho is hopeful
Unit sufficient work will be given him
to warrant tho establishment of a
branch here. Tho Baker laundry doos

Mark Baker, an employe at the
Weeks Bros, furniture factory at Phoe
nix, met with quite a severe accident
last Friday. He was operating a cutting
off saw, which was running at full
speed, when bis left hand came in con
tact with the saw, striking the third
finger not far from the end, and split
ting that member to tho knuckle joint
ai.d on into tho band for a distance of
nearly two inches. He came to Med
ford immediately and the wound was
dressed by Dr. Pickel. It is getting
along all right and he will not lose the
finger but it will probably be stiff. It
seems almost miraculous that his hand
was not severed completely.
