Selling goods for cash and cash only can't be done in Medford.
I am not a gambler, but I am going to gamble my business reputation
that it can and can be done with greater satisfaction to myself and customers
than the old tried and ruinous credit business. Sell a man goods on time and
he is your enemy; get his cash and give him value received for it and he is your
friend. Anyone that would quit doing business with a firm or merchant be
cause he will not longer pay $50.00 per month for a bookkeeper to look after
a thousand little accounts, and pay 8 per interest to carry the same accounts,
is a customer anyone would do well to lose; and as for Shortie Garnett he is
welcome to trade elsewhere. It will be going some to reduce the already low
prices, but my stock will be gone over and remarked during the month of Sep
tember and when the first day of October comes into existence it will be cash
and strictly cash, no respecter of persons, but the same price to all, and the
same courtesy to all. Now you people who say it can't be done just stand
around and watch people carry off Toledo Ranges, Maud S. Pumps, Ro
tary washers and Nason's Pure Paint from the cash store of
"Shortie" Garnett

talo, Warner's valley, Lakevlew and

They found the country through

WAS A HOWLING SUCCESS.
Exceedingly pleasant and
unique as it was enjoyable, was the
reception to the Cradle Roll babies
and their mothers yesterday after
noon at tbe Baptist church.
A short program was rendered,
which consisted of music. Scripture
and prayer, also a paper read by
Mrs. Harry Tuttle, "Why Have
Cradle Roll?" Mrs. U. G. Smith
rendered an Instrumental solo which
was appreciated by all. In spite of
the Inclement weather there .was
large attendance and the mothers
with their little ones presented
happy scene as they surrounded the
six prettily decorated tables where
the ladles of tbe church served de
licious refreshments.
An especially pleasing feature was
the Rood behavior of the little tots,
who seemed to enjoy the occasion In
their own way fully as much as the
older ones.
The cradle roll work has just been
started as a department of the Sun
day school and has grown under the
active interest of the superintendent,
Mrs. H. C. Garnett. Nearly 50 ba
bies are now enrolled. All who
were present yesterday expressed a
deep Interest in the work and wont
away feeling that It is of greater Im
portance than they had even, real
ized. OLD PEAR TKKE.
Secretary Miller of the Medford
Commercial club has received a pho
tograph taken by N. S. Bennett of
the Eden Valley nurseries, of a pear
tree on the Scheble ranch, from
which there was taken last year $266
worth of fruit. There Is a good crop
of fruit on the tree this year, and the
picking of It began yesterday. The
tree Is 40 years old.
SOME FORESTRY WORK.
Samuel Swennlng, acting superin
tendent of Forestry for the Maxama
reserve, reports that G. F. Redman
and three assistants will on Monday
commence .the construction of a tel
ephone line from Ashland to Ashland
Butte, at which latter place a forest
rangers' headquarters will be estab
lished next season.
Mr. Swennlng also tells that a
trail will soon be completed from
Long's cabin four or five miles from
Ashland, to Ashland Butte. As a
matter of fact, this trail Is now fully
two-thirds completed.
The feature of permanency as ap
plies to all those government Im
provements is a factor which makes
them of more than ordinary impor
tance to the localities la which tbey I
are establiahed and maintained. A
trail to the goverameat does not
mean the biasing of a few trees and !
the clearing away ot a little under-.
brush, but Instead It means the '
building of a path so permanent and
so easy of grade that a ranger may
ride oa horseback over It at any
season of the year and that pack
trains may pass over it at ease. i
WILL Bl'ILD Ui;.N(MLOW.
Architect Mcintosh has plans j
drawn for a six-room bungalow i
which will be erected on the Sam's!
Valley farm owned by Messrs. F. K.
Deuel and Charles Strong. This Is
to be a modern structure In every
way and when completed will be oc
cupied by Will Kinney, who will
manage the farm tor these gentle
men. The name "Fernwold" haa been
given tbla farm, and quite unlike
many others In -the valley, they are
going to grow alfalfa on their farm
with the big name instead of plant
ing It to fruit.
There are 240 acres ot land In the
tract and all of it will be seeded to
alfalfa, for the growth of which It Is
said to be especially well adapted.
Possession Is not to be given Messrs
Deuel and Strong until October 1
but Immediately after that date the
Improvements will commence.
GOING AND COMING.
Mr. and Mrs.. Perry Stewart left
last night for Portland, where they
will reside.' Mr. Stewart has pur
chased a five-acre tract of land at
Garden Home, seven miles out of
Portland, and It Is here they will re
side. This property is on the Port-
land-Salem electric line and only a
quarter of a mile from a station.
Before leaving Medford, Mr. Stewart
sold bis . residence property on Riv
erside avenue to Jacob Weis for
11600. The Morning Mall really
ought to say something good of these
good people, but as a matter of
fact they have left Medford so many
times during the past six or eight
years and have returned just as
many times, and The Morning Mail
has had something to say each time
that was good, both going and com
ing, tbat our stock of adjectives has
been depleted and we dislike tan
tology. However, here's looking at
you when you return.
Death ot Mrs. Barry.
The body of Mrs. Mary A. Berry,
one ot the early settlers near Jack
sonville, was brought in on No. 13
yesterday from Delphi, Ind., where
she had been visiting at the home
of a brother and sister, and where
she died September 3, at the ripe
old age of 83 years. Her daughter,
Mrs. M. De Lamatte, of Portland,
Or., was with her In her last Illness
and accompanied the body here. An
other daughter, Mrs. A. Kane, of
Oakland, Cal., met the sister at
Grants Pass and returned with her
to Jacksonville. Funeral services
will be held In Jacksonville today.
Returned From the Kast.
J. W. Perkins and family returned
yesterday from a trip of about six
weeks through eastern cities. Mr.
Perkins reports that business seems
to be picking up, factories are put
ting on bands just as If there never
would be a presidential election-
such is their faith in the continuance
of the present policies of the gov
ernment. Although business affairs
seemed so bright east, Mr. Perkins
says It looks mighty good to be in
Southern Oregon again.
Killed Three Deer.
r Messrs. Sid Brown and Leon Has-
kins returned yesterday from an 11
days' outing at Trail creek, and
managed to bag three deer. When
not hunting they were picking huck
leberries, which were very plentiful
even though crowds of people were
out gathering them.
Medford Just Right.
A. K. Curtis of Garden City, Kan.
arrived In the city yesterday and
will make Medford his future home.
His family Is now In Portland and
will come to Medford as soon as

tis has been traveling over the coast
country for several weeks. He has

too dry, and that Southern Oregon
must be the happy medium he has
been looking for. He Is a friend of
Bert Anderson, the West Medford
Bungalow Addition man.

PRISONERS WILL SAW WOOD.
The wood pile has taken the place
of the rock pile and from now on
all those who are compelled to work
out the amount of their fines will
do so with a bucksaw and put in a
good ten hours a day. The city of
ficials have put in a lot of cordwood
which was brought from the supply
at the city water plant, and have It
on tap In close vicinity to the city
lock-up.
The police got tired of serving
meals to prisoners who bad nothing
else to do but kill time while wait
ing for the time when they would be
free men once more. Now they Just
lock them In the old jail building
with a nice pile of wood and tell
m to "do nothing but saw wood."
From the way business has been Im
proving In the recorder's court It
would appear that the stock of wood
will not last many months.
George Riley, the man they don't
speak ot so highly, appeared before
Recorder Ben. M. Collins this morn
ing. He Is the Irishman who got In
both an argument and a fight with
'John Anderson, My Joe John,' over
the merits and demerits ot the
Scotch and the Irish, and he caused
Anderson to appear as if he had been
used for the purpose of cleaning up
the whole of Seventh street and
then some.
The recorder thought that Ander
son had been punished enough, and
let him go with a warning, but he
socked a fine of J30 to Riley. Like
most of the others who appear, he
had spent all his money and aald he
guessed he would have to serve his
time In Jail.
'We have a nice little lob waiting
for you." said the recorder as he
sized up the strapping and scrappy
Irishman. "You can Just work on
the rock pi I mean the wood pile,
for 15 days." Every one present
laughed at the break the recorder
had made except Mr. Riley, and he
glared around the room as if he
failed to see what there was to
laugh about.
THE FIRST or THK 8KAHOX.
The first of the "social nights" to
be given by the Pythian Sisters of
the order of the Knights of Pythias
was given at the Pythian hall last
night and there was a large crowd
present. All of them had an enjoy
able time and It la safe to say that
the other social affairs gotten up by
the same people during the season
will be largely patronized.
The following wore the members
of the entertainment committee for
last night: Mr. and Mrs. L. O.
Sehernierhorn, Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Perry, Mr. and Mrs. Fred I.uy, Mr.

After tbe musical program aasl
the dancing, two booths were opraeal
for business. One furnished re
freshments and the other all that
went toward a "crasy house," vfckda
consisted of horns, confetti and sev
eral other things too numerous ta
mention.
All of those who were fortunate aa

tlons planned by those ladles for tfta
