The work of altering and fitting
up the rooms over HutobiBon & LumB
den's store for the use of the Com'
merolal Club has been begun and is
being rapidly pushed to completion,
although it ia'iuot likely that the
"house-warming" can be held ou Do
comber 5th, as plauued. The execu
tive oommittee is doing all that can
be done to hasten mutters, but tho
fact that the rooms woro only vacated
by former ocoupauts the first of the
wook has delayed them, so that it will
probubly be uooessary to postpoue the
opening for a week longer. Mean
time the exeoutlre oommittee and i
sub'Oommitee appointed by the di-J
rectors are working along other lines
itb an idea of developing some ad
vantageous plans of advertising the
country around Medford in the most
effective way. Several plans are un
der discussion, but until they an:
further developed they will not be
made public. It is probable that the
club will endeavor to use several of
those plans, aud the committee is uow
at work on a series of pamphlott.
bioh will probably be furnished to
any one receiving iuquirieB regarding
this section. It is to be hoped that
this work will be oarried out without

needs to make it the best city in
Southern Oregon. Moauwbile, let us
all "push it along." We must be
