Medford. This is the celebrated liine
and sulphur solution which Mr.
Perry is manufacturing and which is
meeting with such universal approv
al by all the orchardlsts hereabouts.
The expert mixer at the factory de
clares It to be the best article he
has ever put out, this because of the
superior quality of lime used and
obtainable here. The solution Is
put up in barrels of 64 gallons each
and Is sent out In quantities of from
one to twenty barrels to orchard
men all over Southern Oregon, some
of It going as far north as Roseburg.
Mr. Perry now has manufactured
and ready tor use 300 barrels of the
solution, which amount he believes
will be sufficient for the fall and
winter spraying.

PRELIMINARY WORK.
Party Starts to Survey Course for
Water Supply.
W. J. Roberts, consulting engineer
for Medford in the matter of water
supply, will leave this morning with
a surveying party of eight men for
the proposed Intake of Medford's
Mount Pitt water supply. The party
will probably be out two weeks. They
will first locate definitely the In
take, which will In all probability
be on the upper Sllnger ranch, which
ranch the Fish Lake Water company
recently purchased. From there the
pipe line will be permanently locat
ed to the reservoir, near the city.
The party consists of W. J. Roberts,
who will himself run either the tran
sit or level all the time; Lewis Swlt
zer, L. J. Mead, H. Pennington, Ed
Brooks, Harry Bossum, Harold Har
vey, George Jackson and James
Burch.
The work of surveying this line
at this season of the year is not one
eagerly sought by engineers, but Mr.
Roberts Is anxious that no delay In
the starting of actual construction
work shall be chargeable to him. On
the other hand, the contractors are
as eager to have things shaped up
for action as are the people of Med
ford to secure the water as quickly
as possible.
The reservoir site has been select
ed and surveyed. It will be on the
McAndrew hill, one and a half miles,
from Medford. There are live acres
in the tract contractod tor, and Its.
elevation Is 210 feet above the city.
This site Is to the north of the Arm
strong hill and Is said to be a most,
desirable location.
