Prosperous Banking House
Pleasantly Situated in a
New and Handsome Es
tablishment. .
With no more Btlr or ostentatious
display than bae marked Its phenom
enal finanoial achievements of the past
year, the First National Bank 01 Med
ford last week quietly transferred its
business from Its blrthplaoe 'on East
Seventh street to the new home re
cently oompleted for it in the oenter
of the business d 1st riot
The building is a banasome two
story brlok struoture 25x95 ffeet. The
front ib of buif colored Newburg
trick with staooo trimmings and in
'point of arohiteotural design la the
peer of any business house on the
street. The cost of the building alone
will approximate 315:000. The in
terior has been apportioned to a main
banking room about 32x24, with a re
ception room 10x12 adjoining, A
small room 11x18 opening off the
banking room 1b being fitted up lor
the use of the directors. The interior
decorations are plain, yet tasty and
substantial, as are the offloe furniture
and other essential 'fittings.
The spacious vault is in the fullest
sense the' Btrong feature of the estab
lishment. . It haa -been bo constructed
with air chambers above and about
the sides aa to render it absolutely
fire proof.
If a further guarantee of safety from
fire and burglars were neoeBsary it Ib
afforded by a massive, managnese
Bteel, burglar proof safe, with time
looks and every 'modern devioe for
resisting the arts of the most skilled
burglar. As yet orimlnal history re
cords no instance of the successful
plundering of 'one of these safes.
The double steel fire and burglar proof
doora that afford aooeee to the vaults
during banking - hours are equipped
with the Hall 'Safe and Look Co. 'a
double time looks, that onoe closed
and set, defy the most scientific ap
. pliances of the-clever burglar.
A system of Bate deposit boxes will
be metalled within a few days, which
will enable those having valuable pa
pera or other treasures not bankable
to deposit them where they will be
safe and easily accessible when re
quired. '
The First National Bank of Medford
was established June 15, 1905, since
which time It has made the most re
markable growth of any flnanolal in
stltution in Southern Oregon.
Its original capital of 825,000 was
doubled at the close of lte first year
and its available reserve fund has
reaohed, during the seventeen months
of its oorporate exlatenoe, the hand'
some figure of 8225,000. The volume
of deposits has doubled within the
past year and'the bank has established
a standing among the finanoial in
stitutions of the state and the ooast
that Is oreditable Indeed to the busi
ness Integrity and sagaoity of its offi
cials and board of direotors.
The present offlolal staff and direc
torate, under whioh the organization
was first effected, are :
Officers Wn, S . Crowell, presi
dents 1'. K. Deuel, vloe president
M. L. Alford, oashier. Directors
Wm. a Crowell, F. E. Deuel, Ohas.
Strang, E. V. Carter and Geo. W.

Medford Is Justly proud of her sub
stantial finanoial institutions. They
are Indicative of her wealth and pros,
perlty and upon her growth and de-
velopment depends the volume of
their business.
Cow Men In Council.
Toe annual convention of the Ore
gon State Dairymen's Association
will be held In Ashland December
11th to 12th. The matter was brought
before the exeoutive committee of the
Oommeroial Olub by D. Ferozzl of the
dsbland Creamery, the seorerary of
the State Association, F. L. Kent,
having written Mr. Peruzzi a letter
outlining the meeting and making
suggestions In regard to the same.
From this letter it would appear
that on the first day there would be
afternoon and evening sessions and
on the seuond day morning and af
ternoon sessions. The secretary an
ticipates an attendance of 200 dele
gates and suggested that papers on
local subjects be prepared, One on
"Southern Oregon Dairy Foods" and
Jackson County Cow OensnB. " Also
the matter of muaio. Ashland Tid
ings. Mrs. Kussell Sage contributed 130,.
000 to the fund for the rebuilding of
the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion building in San Franoisoo. Sec
retary fl. J. McCoy secured the dona
tion during his last trip to the east
to collect a bait million dollars tor the
reconstruction of the building on the
old site at Ellis and Mason Btreeti.
The entire amount has bein . raised
and one of the largest Y. M. 0. A.
buildings will soon be under construc
tion. .

Five lndlotments against Mayor Eu
gene JD. Sohmitz and Abraham Rneff
for extortion were returned by the
grand jury at San Franoisoo Thurs
day night. The mayor and boss of
the oity administration are jointly
accused of unlawfully and feloniously
forcing oertain French restaurant
proprietors to pay specific sums of
money for retail liquor licenses.
One indictment charges that on
January 15, 1905, Sohmitz and Rneff
extorted 81175 from Antonia B. Burn
oo, who was the proprietor of the
Poodle Dog' reetauant, then at the
corner ot Eddy and Mason streets;
in another, that on February 6, 1906,
Blanco had to pay Sohmitz and Rueff
the further Bum of 81000; in two
others that these same amounts on
the dateB mentioned were corruptly
extorted from Joseph Malfantl,
Charles Kelb and William Larenz,
who conducted the Delmonioo iestaU'
rant, whioh' before the fire wbb lo
cated at 110 O'Farrell street ; and in
the fifth, that on January 15, 1905,
Pierre Frlet, Miohel Debret and Ed
ward J. Marohand's restauant, .then
on Stockton and Geary streets, had
to pay the mayor and the boss 81175,
they esoaping the demand for another
81000 in last February.
Eaoh of these alleged offenses is
punishable by imprisonment in the
state penitentiary for a term not ex
oeeding five years.
Rueff was arrested and gave ball
aggregating 830,000, Sohmitz Ib now

Missive Deposited by Rogue
River Maiden Secures Re
sponse from English Buy-
er.
Mr. O, H. Lewis, a few weeks sinoe
shipped a carload of Buerre Ctairgeau
pears from his orohard, soutn of Med
ford, to London, England. Never
but osroe before has there been a ship
ment of pears made to this market
from the Kogue River Valley, and
this 'first time the experiment was
not entirely satisfactory in fact it
was quite the reverse, and wholly be
cause the fruit was hot iced en route
and when It reaobed ita deatinatlon
It was in bad shape. This shipment,
made by Mr. Lewis, wsb in every way
satisfactory and while fanoy prices
were not reoeived 'for the fruit tfaei
experiment of shipping was very giat
lfying notwithstanding the faot
that the fruit arrived in London at a!
time when the mrket was loaded down
and it was neoessary to hold it three
days before putting on the market.
Tbere'were 60 half boxes in the
shipment and the net price realised
was a little better than they oculd
have been sold 'for in Medford and
Mr. LewlB has the experiment as an
extra margin -on the credit side of his
aooount.
. There is a bit of romanoe oonueoted
with this shipment of psars jjuBt a
little strand of pleasantry euoh bb
paoker girls have before been known
to indulge in, but which oftentimes
has proven a means of building Blast
ing -friendship When these pears
were being paoked, one of the pack
ers, Miss -Alma Gault, knowing they
were to be shipped to 'England,
wrote a little message to the -consumer
of the fruit, whoever he or she might
be, and plaoed it in one of 'the boxes.
That the message did not -esoape the
notioe of the purohaser of the fruit
is conclusively proven bythe reoeipt
ot the following letter: v
"16 Russell street, Southsea, Forts
mouth, Hants, England. '
October 17, 1906,
DEAR MISS GAULT:
I opened a box of pearB today
tweunesaay) ana inside i round
your message. I was the individual
that unpacked the pears and was very
interested, so taae toe uoerty or writ
ing to you. I should think it a very
pretty country where ail those Dears
grow. Tnoy are bo splendid that 1 have
Sf en them sold at one shilling each.
That -is twenty-four centB in your
money, and the people in London will
think nothing . of that prioe for a
pear. 1 suppose tney are -muon cheap
er out there. I have never been to
America. 1 have been to Oherburg
and Bolouuge in France -and In Scot
land and in a good many large cities
in my own oouutry. I think your
people know, how to pack fruit. You
must write and let me know what sort
of plaee the states are. It must be a
few months ago when you wrote that
note, as I have had the pears in my
snop ror a montn to ripen.
Yours elnoerely,
MR MARK GOUSTICK,

(Indian Woney Apportioned.
From. Klamath Falls Express:
Tbe Indian agent at the Klamatn
reservation, assisted by. Capt. U. O.
Applegate, has compiled a .census ot
the Indians and the roll shows 1050
men, women and obildren. The tak
ing of the census is the preliminary
step to the apportionment of toe
funds the Indians are to receive for
about 600,000 aoreB of land, laying
along the north and east Bide of tbe
reservation, whloh they relinquished
to the government for a oaeh pav
meet. The first of this payment, 825,
000, has been reoeived and will be dl
vided among the 1050 Klamath, Mo-
docs, Pitt Rivers and Piutes that in
habit the reservation.
The remainder of the-money, $350,n
000, due from the government, hss
been plaoed on interest and every,
year tbe Indians will reoeive the in
terest money amounting to about 816,-;
000, While the per capita payments
will not be large, yet when it is con
sidered as a lump sum it is no Bmall
looome to the reservation wards of
Uncle Sam. The sum of 8350,000
plaoed on interest ia held ' up at the
will of tbe seoretary of interior and
it may be many years before this
amount is .apportioned among the
Indiana.
Another Important matter in tbe
Indians affairs is the definite settle
ment ,of the Central Military r. ad
land grant in tbe reservation, This
matter was first taken up by Capt. O.
O. Applegate during his administra
tion as Indian agent and waa brought
to a successful issue by Major Wil
son, the present agent, in :a compare
tively short time.
The settlement was reaohed by ex
changing a tolerably oompaot body of
timber land lying west of the Si?an
valley in the Klamath reservation for
tbe grant lands following the old Oen
tral Military ror.r'B heretofore
olaimed by the Callforuia and Oregon
Land Company. The grant lands
oompilsed about 111,000 acres and in
lieu of these they were given about
80,000 aores on the west side of Sloan
Valley and a deed for the same was
placed on reoord this week. This
exohange of lands was made in pur
suance to a plan of settlement marked
out by the representatives ot the In
dians and of the company olalming
the lands under the auborlty of con
great.
Tho final settlement of this land re
moves one of the impediments in
making the land allotments to the In
dians whloh may now be pursued
and when oompleted the government
will be in a position to purchase the
tribal rights of the Indians to the re
mainder of the lande and Is a decisive
step towards the opening ot the res
ervation.

The Ladles' Aid Sooiety of the M.
K, Church la arranging' for a very
interesting entertainment at Angle's
opera house, on the afternoon and
evening ot Friday, November 83d.'
There will be a number ot features,
any one ef which wlu ba worthy of
patronage. The ladles of the sooiety
have tor weeks been making a great
number of dainty and beautiful bund-
kerchiefs. These they will otter for
sale. Then there will be a number of
booths at which light refreshments
will be served.
Then again there will be aometbing
more, and that something ia a feat
ure, the oharaoter df which few Med
ford people have bad an opportunity
of familiarizing 'themselves. This
feature will be -a displays of curios
brought home from Malaysia by Rev.
Frank Van uyke, who has been a
missionary in that country for a num
ber of years and who Ib soon to re
turn to his work tbre. This collec
tion will consist of curious tools and
implements used by tbe natives, as
well as a number of native costumes.
Aside from these there will- do dis
played eklns and bonea of wild ani
mals and birds, some nests of the
beaver and tailor birds, a number of
strange native ooine and postage
stamps. There is also a set of ten
charts, two by four feet in size,
painted by Chinese artists and illus
trative of the Chinese belief of the
future - existence of man. These
were painted for an English govern
ment bfHcer in China and from whom
they were afterwards obtained. There
is also a wild boar's head having four
tusks, tbe shortest ot whloh is eight
inches in length, while the two grow
lug from the upper jaw are turned
upward and touch tbe skull above the
eyes. There Is as well the bead of a
born-bill, measuring 1 eight and a half
inches in length and is four inches
thick. It is one of the jungle birds
ef the Malay peninsula.
Many of these ourios will be die
posed of at this time, as Mr. Van
Dyke will sail Boon for Singapore and
does not intend taking them back
with him. Mr. Van Dyke will 'be
-present, Friday and will give a brief
history of the curios which he will
show. '
An admission of fifteen cents will
be charged adults and ten cents will
be oharged for ohildren under twelve
years of age. The handkerchiefs, re
freshments and ourios, if you wish
to buy them, will be extra.
Mr. Vawler Sizes Up the Situation.
Hon. W. I. Vawter, joint represen
tative from Jaokson and Douglas
oounties, was Interviewed by the
Portland Telegram tbe other day, up
on the subjeat of his oandidaoy for
speaker of the lower house of the next
legislature. The Telegram quoted
Mr. Vawter as saying:
"I'll be in the fight to the finlnh.
and I'll either win or be all Bhot to;
pieces. If I get beat I'll not have the
naming of a oommittee.
"iBballgo.to Salem this winter
with enough voteB to elect me. I am
not giving names, but at this time 1
have at leaBt fifteen votes in sight. I
feel that tbe ' Southern Oregon ooun
ties are with me almost to a unit. 1
expeot support from several Willam
ette Valley counties and also from
Eastern Oregon.
' "Of course, muoh depends upon tbe
result of the Qght In the senate. If
Haines is eleoted it might make Mr,
Chaplin a very formidable oandidate.
But if a Portland man is eleoted pres
ident of the senate I firmly believe 1
shall win.
"The choosing of a Portland man
for the senate will leave the fight be
tween Frank Davey and me. I regard
Mr. Davey as by all odds my strong
est opponent."
Mr. Vawter says his candldaoy at
the next session will go through to
tbe finish and that he will not vacate
tbe ring In consideration for tbe
chairmanship of any oommittee. He
will either get there or fall outside
the breastworks.
At the last session Mr. Vawter was
a candidate, but his following waa
oonflnBd to a few votes from the
south, owing to the strong alignment
of the Kay and Mills men. At the
last stages ot tbe fight he swung his
support to Mills and landed the
chairmanship of the house committee
on ways and means.
The fight now eeems to be mainly
between Vawter and Davey.
Wlllard H. Chaplin of Multnomah
is a prominent oandidate, but his
position is largely a contingent one,
Should Haines of Washington be
elected In tbe senate, Multnomah
wonld undoubtedly deoiare her rluht
to one plaoe and this would nut (Jhan.
lin In the front ranks. Bonjamln
rranaiin uones or ijincoin is in the
field, but up to thia time he does not
appear to hero developed any (treat
strength.
