THE MEDFORD MAIL Publtibed Tr Friday -12 A. 3. BLITON, Editor MEDFOKU, DEO. 21, 1906. SUBSCRIPTION tl.go PER YEAR Katerad In tba iMMlnmee at Medford. Orrson mt tucond ola mall mattar. " Thi building of brick blocki in Med lord continues, irrespective of the season of the year. Verily, we do grow. From the many things that are being talked of and pro posed to be put before the legisla tive body to make into lawi or not as the ease may be, it will be a busy forty days for that assembly. It 14 to be hoped there is noth ing io the rumor tbat the loss of the Jaeksonville pubiio school building and its contents was due to incendiarism. It is a great mis fortune to any community to lose such an institution, witheut , being called upon to think they are har boring In their midst human be in so low in the scale of wrong doing tbat would be guilty of suoh an act. The national congress is now opening up number of measures that will olaim a good portion of their time in discussion, whether they accomplish anything or not Those who imagined that this would be an unimportant session of con gres did not take into consider ation the amount of business the President would deliver to them to act upon. When person makes a Christ mas present the hope is entertained that it will serve as a reminder of friendship. Then if that reminder could toe made apparent weekly for a year, how much more it would be appreciated. A -ear's subscription to Tiik Mail for an absent friend will accomplish this. Only a few more days until the holidays, then etart in with the new year and see bow well you have pleased your friend during the vear 1007. inree weeks more and the Oregon legislature will be in session. There is mucjj comment by the state pa- pers and citizens as to what legis- lation they ohould make, what thfy will do and what they will not do.

Edison, the electrical wizard, has a new idea which, he thinks, will work many changes in present con ditions. He believes we have been living in the steel age and that in the future the oonorete age will oome in again. It is stated that be has invented a process by which whole houses are molded in a single casting of concrete. He says: "I purpose, after obtaining the designs, to have metallio molds made to correspond with them. The mold for each bouse will be made in de tachable parts. There will be sep arate plates and small molds that cau be screwed together easily ,to form one mold for the entire house. That a fine finish may be obtained, the inside surface will be nickel pitted. After a mold for a whole house is set np, it will bo a very simple matter to pump concrete into every nook and cranny." He- states that under ordinary circum stances concrete villas will not cost more than $5oo or I600 apiece. 3voQoQoaQaQaa Kcdmea Will Take lbs Tows Very Sooe.

Ask your grocer for Rogue Rlrer Jreamery butter 70 9ents per square THE SUPERIORITY OF IT ha& been our purpose to handle the best goods that money can Day. mere is out one way to test the quality of goods and that is to try them. We have tried the goods of all the bouses of San Francisco and Portland represented here and have been thor oughly convinced that "Preferred Stock," as put out by the Lewis of Portland, i the best line handled on the Coast, and because of its unap proachable superiority we have purchased the line. As evidence of their superiority these goods took eleven prizes at the Lewie and Clark Exposition. These prizes were warded after the goods had been tested by the National experts. This should be ' sufficient evidence of their excellent quality,, but we don't stop here. There are people- in Medford and vicinity who can add their testimony. We have purchased a sufficient quantity to get a quantity diseount which enables us to sell them For Less Money than ever Sold Mere Before Take for instance the Preferred Stock Corn, which has always sold here- at 20c per can, we can sell for Besides "Preferred Stock" We can sell 8 bars of good This is the beginning of our second years' business. The than we ever hopbd for, being strangers within your gates, for which we wish to thank all who have contributed to our success. We ask a continuance of your patronage, assuring you we are much better prepared to serve-you, as we know better what the trade wants. HON ROE & MILLER Circuit Court Proceedings. In case of C. W.

What's the rea oonY for all the changes. Why has lumber doubled in value? Why is tbe whole country suffering on account of shortage in fuel? Why Is it that local merchants are only getting J0 per oent of their orders fllledf Why are all commodities raising and bounding higher than they have ever been be fore in tima of peace? Men can do no more work in ten hours than for merly, coal and wood Is just as plen tiful, more miles of railroad exist now tbaa ever before, tb oountty a a whole has not increased in population more than in year a past, tho people do not eat any more, it tains and sun shines just as of old, men are born, marry and die just as thoy did ten yenrs back. Vet tbe whole country Is moving forward with grander and faster strides than in its pust history and it now behooves a man to move and move lively or else get run over, killed, buried and forgotten. Tbe wheels of commerce are grinding day and night and groaning under their over-load. Can we stand the strain? Will tbe cord breuk? Will there oome anotber panio and Coxiea' armies con gregate ana men lay Idle and capital ists go broke? Nay I Suoh is not tbe reading ot the tlmps. With electric ity coming and tatting hold of things as It has, with our gigantic young in tellects to push forward the great problems, with Peary to locate the north pole, Roosevelt to complete the canal, others to biing Into use wire less telegraphy and flying machines, we may look forward to times so pros perous tbat to-day's prosperity will be as the past is to today. Medford with her 30.000 to 50.000 Dooulation. her box factories, saw mills running I night and day, her gold and copper mines turning out tialn loads of pre cious metals, her coal thoroughly de veloped, working two to three thous and men In tbe Immense ooktag ov ens, farms worth 11000 an acre, people whirling through the valley on trolley oars, what can stop us? Let us set our pegs high, and drive to tbem. If you wish to read the signs of the future Just drop down and see Sbortie Uarnett, watch the move that bis' force gets on them, see tbem passing out Toledo Ranges, 1900 wash ers, nails, binges, looks, cook log utensils, pat him on tbe beck and oheei him on for be Is Ine of the boys that firmly believes that Medford will soon take her place as tbe largest and best town between Portland and San Francisco and be is one who Is willing to buy and sell on such a margin tbat all oan live and be happy. Come one come alt We are awake to your needs and will meet you half way, and if you don't move lively will go your nan too. i ours ior toe ruture. II. O. UARNETT. Notice.
