A. W". Walker returned from Eu
gene last weok and has siuce pur
chased an interest in the Nash livery
stables with J. A. Elmburst and onoe
more these popular stables are under
the management of Walker . & Elm
hurat. Mr. Walker also brought with
him a five-year-old German Coaoh
stallion, whiob is a beauty in the
horse line. This horse took second
prize in bis class in the German
Coaoh exhibition at the Lewis and
Clark fair, and is a perfnot specimen
nf the breed. Mr. Walker invites
farmers and stookmen to oall and look
over this great horse. He is large
enough for ordinary heavy work,
has tine action and a good disposi
tion. All Mr. Walker wants youto do
is to examine the horse. If bis tine
points don't appeal to you, it will be
something strange.

joyed a very pleasant eveuiug at their
lodge hall on Tuesduy evening of thlB
week. After the routine lodge wo'-k
bad boon gone through with, the fol

listened to: Piuno duet, Miss Gray
aud Miss Streets ; vocal solo, Miss
Gertrude Wilson; piano duet, Miss-
Hutchison aud Miss lluvis ; vooal solo,
Miss Jones; vooal solo, Mr. Isaacs;
voinl boIo, Miss Enid Hamilton. This
was unquestionably one of the very
best musical programs ever given at
any of the eoolal gatherings of Med
ford aud that it was appreciated was
fully demonstrated by the repeated
applaudB. Following the program,
refreshments of ioe cream, cake and
fruit punoh were served in the ban
quet room, aud after this there was
more niuuio and more good time spent
in pleasant converse. Both the assem
bly room and banquet room were pro
fusely decorated in the very oholoeBt
01 roses and aweot peas and were very
p-jtty. None were there present who
did not enjoy themselves to the fullest
extent. The oommittee lu ohr. t;o

Mr. and Mrs. W. T. York, Mis. Hat-

but later he expects to invest in a
small alfalfa farm. The friends of

has a splendid reputation and this
will, of course, be maintained be-
oauBe of the fact that both the boys
made it. Mr. Luy will be employed in
the shop until some one can be se
cured to take his ohair.
