A rumor has been ourront about
town that the Southern Pacific had
withdrawn its Medford town property
from tho market, To ascertain tbo
truth in the matter a Mail representa
tive Interviewed J. S. Howard, local
land agent for the Southern Pacific
wbo suited that he bud received no no
tice from the company that it had with
drawn the forty lots it yet owns in the
town of Medford from eule. He waa in
Portland two weeka ago and waa in tbe
company'a land oflloe and aaw Geo. H.
Andrewa, the gonoral land agent for
Oregon, and that gentleman mado no
mention of there being a likelihood of
the Medford property being taken out
of the market. Mr. Howard thinks tbe
rumor got started from tbe report tbat
tho company bad withdrawn all of its
timber land from tbe market, whloh It
has dono pebding a readjustment, of
values. And then tbe coal mine tbat
tho Southern Pacific la developing four
miles east of Medford was probably
another oauao for tho rumor, people
taking it for granted that the coal mine
would bo tbe means ot giving a big
boom to Medford tbe company wonld
want to profit by the raise in its town
property, but thore aro so few lots and
they are nearly all In the residence dis
trict and being of no great value there
is no llkollhood of the company holding
themfor tbe boom that Is likely to
oomo.
