one living there discover prowlers
about their own borne, or In that lo

signal light burning and will atep
to the nearest telephone and aak in
what locality ot the city his services
are required, and upon learning this
he will at once hasten to that part

great aervlce can In this way be ren
dered to the residents of this city.

oramped for room.
The fact that Mr. Osgood has had
a constantly Increasing amount of

cloua office rooms and will have
room for the proper filing cabinets

Medford on Tobbogan
The Medford baseball team Jour
neyed afar on Sunday and were tak
en in by the enemy. Eagle Point
won a closely contested game by a
score ot 4 to 3. Tne game was re
plete with good plays and It was not
due to poor playing on the part ot
the Medford boya that the game waa
lost, but rather to the splendid ar
ticle of ball that was served up by
the Eagleltea.
The game waa superior In every
way to the game that waa played in
Medford the week previous. There
were not as many errors and the
crowd of Eagle Pointers that gath
ered to witness the game were satis
fied. Eleven ot the Medford boya
visited Eagle Point.
T. C. White played a aplendid
game, knocking out a three-baae bit
that was a bummer, according to
those who saw the game. The sec
ond baseman ot the Eagle Point
team touched up the leather for a
home run.
Next Sunday on the home grounds
the local boya meet a tesm from
Gold Hill. The miners say that they
have a pennant-winning team and
will be here with the goods. The local
boys will be in good shape and it
should be a good game.
