CITY HAPPENINGS

A few years ago (not many, just
a few) there was an organization in
Medford composed of nine young
ladies and one married ludy. They
called the organization the S. Y. L.
B. O. Club, which, translated would
read, "Single Young Ladies But
One.' The object of the organiza
tion was purely social and their af
ternoon gatherings at the homes of
different members of the club were a
source of much pleasure. If those
same ten persons wero to assemble
at this time the title of the organization

The stone foundation for the
Karnes & Rittor brick on Seventh
at root is being laid this week and the
building will be pushod to completion
as tapidly as possible. The buildings
formerly occupied by Mrs. R. P. An
derson's restaurant and Elsenhart &
McCowu were torn down this week
and preprarations are being made for
fcho erection of a briok on the site to
join the Karnes & Rittor structure.
The construction of this building and
the tearing down of the old wooden
structures which it is to replace will
eliminate a source of danger from a
disastrous fire in the main business
part of town, which has been ever
L A1 II. Ill
ing of unsightly "shanties" by a
. handsome specimen or architecture.
When this building 1b completed and
1 the new home for the Jackson County
Bank finished a citizen of Medford
need not be ashamed to take a friend
from abroad for a walk through the
bnsinesB part of town. P. W. Wait
is contractor for the stone work.
Sometime ago an account ap
peared in the Portland Telegram of a
dog that had leaped from an upstairs
window thirty feet to the sidewalk,
escaping with a few bruisos. Medford
has a dog that jumps off a twenty
five foot elevations for exercise. It
is Barney Stoner'a fox terror, aud the
way he got in the habit of making
high dives was this: He pursued a
cat through the house, up stairs aud
out on ti.p of the veranda. The oat
shinned down a post to the ground
and the dog leaped boldly off after it.
A day or two afterward the dog was
shut up in the house to keep him from
follow iug his master. He found an
upstairs window open and heatitated
not an instant in making the jump.
Since then he thinkB nothing of jump
ing from the top of the porch and if
it is desired to keep him at home he
must he chained and all tho win
dows fastenod down.
When you want bagains like these,
that are reliable: 200 acres; 160 acres
in cultivation, 30 acres in alfalfa, 25
acres in coin, balance in wheat, bar

At a meeting of tho Rogue Rivor
Valley Fruit Growers' Union held
Saturday last fifteen members of the
Union were present. The principal
business of the mooting was the matter
of letting a contract for fruit boxes.
The contract was awarded to the Iowa
Lnmber & Box Co., for a term of
three years, at a rate of 8 and 9 cents
per box. This rate is higher than that
oiTered by other concerns, but the
Iowa company's box is a first cIsbs
article ond the fruit growers know it
hence the higher price.
