0 High Grade Shoe Making consists not merely in a composition of materials shaped over an attractive last. It is a science an art. Scientific principles underline with absolute certainty the construction of the " FLORSHEIM " shoe. It is made over an elaborate as sortment of 200 foot-form lasts, insuring a perfect fit for any foot. The dignified appearance, the comfort and service derived from the "FLORSHEIM" shoe warrant your serious consideration. VAN DYKE'S J. H Butler, Funeral 'Director, with Medford Fu rn iture Co., House furnishers and Under- takers. Day 'Phone Main 353, Night Phone Main 1 15 CITY HAPPENINGS. ' J. A. Ward la having bis resi dence northwest of Medford, near the Mo An drew farm, entirely remodelled, and whencoinpleted it will be one of the most convenient, modern country residences in the valley. The plans include a tower on the westernside, porches and bay windows, where for merly ordinary windows were placed, - and upon the south side, a porch and balcony from which an exceptionally good view of the valley and the city of Med ford may be bad. . The house stands upon an elevation overlooking the valley and gives one of the tin est - views to be found in this vicinity. R. W Gray is the contracting build er, and I. A. Palmer is the archetect. ' P. W. Uaines will assume manage ment of Hotel Hart about loth to 20th inst., when he will make a great etrort to treat the public properly. There will be a special meeting of members of Olive Rebekah Lodge, of this city, on Friday evening of this week. The lodge will be visited, olfl 1 cially, upon, this occasion of the vice- piesident of the Rebekah assembly of the state. The lodge team bas been practicing the floor work for several 1 weeks and this will be gone through with for the inspection of the vice president. It is said that Med ford 'a team has the work as nearly perfect as it is possible to get It, and, this being the case, members will be given a rare 'treat Friday night. There will be other entertainment. Every mem ber of the order is urged to be .in at tendance. Dr. Goble'a office is in Butler's jewelry store, where he may be found every Saturday. -The,- social given by the ladles of the Lewis aud Clark club at Wilson's opera house last Friday evening was a success both socially and financial ly. The title of the affair was a "Co nundrum Lunch," the menu being arranged so that it required some little eingeuuity to figure out just what a persou was to get from a given order. The errors in judgment made by the diners were sources of consid erable merriment on the part of the other people at the table, who in most oases were the subject of equally funny mistakes. The attendance was very good, but not as good as it should have been, considering the good cause and the especially tooth some lunch furnished by the ladies. The net prooeeds wore $05, which wilt bo used iu putting up a fountain in the city park. Right here The Mail wishes to say that too much credit cannot be given to the members of this club for the work they have done toward the city park. From a l(po tato patch" with a few trees scattered through it, they have, by constant effort, succeeded in transforming it into the beginning, at least, of a handsome park. Within a short time it will be a pleasant placo in which to pass a few hours during the heat of summer. Lawns have been planted, walks laid out, the fountain in the center "is designed to embrace the comfort as well as the beauty of the park, and by the time this energetic club of ladies is through with it, Med- ford will have a park of which the oitizens of the town may well be proud. The ladies of the club request The Mail to express their apprecia tion of the kindness of those who a sisted in making the supper a success. and especially to Mr. Miller and hit- orchestra for the musio furnished, The Hotel Hartjwith the new man agement will be one of the most popu lar hotels in the state soon. ll-3t The Mitohell-Lewis & Staver Co. has added a shed to their building 20x75 feet iu size, with the ends of briok. This shed will be used for storing wagons and vehicles of var ious kinds, which they are unable to keep in the main building, owing to the Increase In stock. A carload ol vehicles wbb received Tuesday of thi week and two more are expected it a short time. Among these ship .meats are sevoral special orders for tine surreys aud buggies. One of the handsomest vehicles on the floor Is a road wagon. This vehicle is one built for use. It is light but strong, with rubber tires, and as carefully upholstered as a set of furniture. It's a beauty and no mistake. Mr, D. T. Lawton, the resident manager, informed The Mail reporter that the outlook for the spring trade was ex cellent, aud added, mltit the rain comes, which is now promised, thore will be the greatest crops this couutry has ever known, aud then it will be fun to do business." The company : is now carrying a larger stock of ' goods than ever, the demand having ! made it necessary all of wbioh tells I a good story for Mr. Lawton, the firm ho represents, the goods they handle, and tbe prosperity of Southern Oregon.
