j;ity HAPPENINGS J
Friday evening a straw ride was
participated in by the teaohers of
the Medford school and several invited
guests, the affair having been arrang
ed as a farewell to Hiss Helen Wait,
-who departed Saturday for San Jose,
California, to enter tb State Normal
-school there. The party drove to
Central Point, near whl h plaoe they
found suitable oamp grounds. A lire
wbb built and a lunch, brought from
Medford, supplemented by water
melons mysteriously secured, was
spread and a general good time was
had. The party consisted of: Prof,
and Mrs. M. B. Signs, Misses Bessie
Hill, OUle Buffer, Echo Nason, Min
nie Oowland, Emma Talbert, Ethel
Hurley, May Phipps, Julia Fielder,
Gertrude Wilson, Fannie Haskins,
Helen .Wait, Mrs. Stoddard, Mr. and
Mrs. Leon Haskins, Messrs. Wait,

J. F. Lozier, who is buying evap
orated prunes in this vicinity for
Tillson & Co., a Salem Arm, reports
that he has already purchased seven
carloads. These prunes are bought
outright and an advanced payment
made on purchase price when cotracts
are signed this in cases when grow
ers desire the advance payment. The
price paid is four and an eighth cents
per pouud for 40-50s, in sacks and un
graded. Mr. Lozier will buy green as
well as dried prunes. An especially
redeeming and fine feature with Mr.
Lozier's business is that, in slaug
parlance, he is "Johnny-on-tbe-spot"
with the money. This assignment of
fruit rarely ever works out right for
the producers. There is quite often
too much "bad order1 fruit and too
heavy freight and commission charges.
I have been giving with each
dozen cabinet photos (at the regular
price) one large photo, which seems
to make a hit, so I have decided to
oontinue it the balance of this
month. Don't miss it. The Art
Studio opposite postoffice.
A newspaper man can almost al
ways get a pretty good "story" from
J. E. Roberts, the vegetable and small
fruit grower, at Phoenix. There is
very little if anything grown in these
lines in which he does not excel.
His onion orop this season is a matter
of no email importance, considering
the amount of land planted. From
three-fourths of an acre of laud he
will harvest 300 sacks. These will
weigh from 2700 to 3000 pounds, and
at the price paid for onions now he
will be able to sell tbem at a figure
very close to $300. Mr. Roberts did
not give his orop any special care ; in
fact he rather negleoted them because
of his time being taken up with other
garden produots.
Dressmaking. Mrs. Pearl Mulky,
with rooms at Dr. Stephenson's resi
dence, will do dressmaking either at
home, or will go to customer's resi
dences. Work guarauteed. Phone 506.
The new banoom -of the Hotel
Nash was formally opened Thursday
afternoon. This department of the
hostiery has been moved to the room
formerly nsed as a billiard room,
whioh room has been entirely refitted
in the "Old Mission" style, giving it
a handsome and unique appearanoe.
The room formerly oconpied by the
bar will be fitted up in the same style
as an office and lobby and will be con
nected with the present office by a
large arob-way, throwing the two
rooms into one. The "Mission"
style will be followed throughout the
first floor of the hotel.

of lumber being hauled on a two

and otherwise bruising bim consider

now, however, and expects to be at
work again in a short time.

The fore part of this week, Messrs.
C. I. Hutohisou, Dr. JUeddy, Ed.
Fauoett and Dr. Kooue made a tour of
Inspection of the proposed new road
to the Sterling mine, by way of Gritlln
oreek. In making the inspeotiou tiiey
were fortunate in locating a survey of
the route made by Mr. J. S. Howard,
our pioneer surveyor, years ago.
This old route was blazed anew and
after carefully going over it the party
estimated that a llrst-olass road oould
be butlt for a figure not iu exocesB of
$500, possibly less. This road, whon
built, will shorten the distanoe be
tween Medford and the Sterling and
Blue Ledge mines fully five miles aud
gives the traveler a muoh easier grade
than the route now being traveled. A
few weeks ago a committee of three,
comprising Dr. J. F. Keddy, F. W.
Hollis and A. S. Blitou, was appoint
ed by the Commercial Club to solicit
subscriptions among the business men
of Medford for the construction of
this road aud this committee will
probably cull upon you. The advan
tage which tbis road will be to Med
ford as a trade-getter haB been told
of many times in these columns aud
needs not now be repeated.
Married At the Baptist parson
age, in East Medford, by Rev. F. W.
Carstens, on Wednesday eveniug.Sep
tember 20, 1905, Mr. F. H. Erskiue
and Miss Etta King. Both these
young people are well and favoraoly
known in Medford, having been resi
dents of the city for several ytars.

woiking young man and at the pres
ent time is an able and trusted em
ploye of the Iowa Lumber & Box Co,
The bride Is the handsome daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. King, of this
city, and is possessed of the womanly
qualifications which will go a long
way toward making hers and her
husband's home a happy one. They

ford.
Frank Loder, who has been tak
ing a lay-off for several weeks past,
has resumed work witb the Condor
Water & Power Co. He is now engag
ed in installing motors for the com
pany and will undoubtedly, within a
few weeks, be assigned to the work of
looking after the electric sab-stations
at Medford and Jacksonville. That
Frank will prove himself as proficient
at this work as he did as engineer at
the power plant goes without saying
with those who know best of his work.

purposes. This ground lies immedi
ately below the famous Althouae aud

successful. The uew company has
