E IS That Medford will make big strides next summer In the way of civic Ira provement Is evident from the am ount of paving tulk heard on the streets these days. More than 20 blocks will be paved If every pro ject that Is being urged by property- owners is carried out. That will go a long way toward making Medford tbe "city beautiful." Among the various projects being discussed and urged In different parts ot the city are five blocks on Central avenue, one south of Seventh and four north, two of these blocks being already contracted for. The residents of H street between Sixth and Seventh are planning to have bltullthic laid on that block this spring. Dr. Pickel Is agitating the paving of I street between Sixth and Seventh. And on J street It Is pro posed to pave from Seventh to Fourth street. One of the bigger propositions Is the paving of Oakdale avenue from Seventh street to the city limits, a distance of some 4000 feet. Another considerable stretch of paving which Is being urged Is to extend the paving on Seventh street from the schoblhouse to the city lim its. This will add some five blocks to the mileage of paved streets it carried out. It is also proposed to pave D street one block on either side of Seventh street and the Improvement microbe Is working among the peo ple living on West Tenth street. There Is some difference of opinion there, however, as to whether the Im provement shall take the form of paving or macadam. The only danger Is that the matter ot getting these propositions for Im provement before the city council will be delayed so that there will not be sufficient time to have all the work done next summer. Signatures to the petitions have to be secured and It taken some time to run through the council. Besides, the curbs have to be put In, and they must be put In before the pavement la laid. If the prelim inaries could be gotten into shape early, the work ot putting In the curbs could be done now and the act ual work of spreading the bltullthic would not be delayed. H. E. Chipman, foreman of the Warren Construction company, has a force of 30 men engaged In getting out and crushing rock at the quarry at Jacksonville now. He will soon have sufficient crushed rock to com plete the work already contracted for in this city, and unless the new pro jects are gotten Into shape the men will have to be laid off, otherwise they could go on and crush rock un til the time for actual atreet work, when the weather moderates, arrives. . Several petitions for Improvement work will be circulated this week, with the Idea that It Is the early bird that gets the worm, for those who are first In the field will have their streets paved first. NEW ROAD 1HO HELP. Will Afford Better Ingress from Out lying Districts. Monday work will commence on a new county road that will mean much to Medford merchants and still more to the people whom It will serve The new county road will run from a point on the Gold Hill road between the Nledermeyer and Ralnsford orch ards east a ml!? ana a naif to the Central Point-Jacksonville road, be tween the Stewart and Hanley orch ards, and connect with Rosa' road, giving a direct route to Medford. Hitherto the people living In the west part of the valley have been obliged to take a roundabout way to Medford, going either south to Jack sonville or north to Central Point, thus adding two miles or more to the trip to Medford. This section of the country Is well settled and the extra haul has on tnlled a loss on the orchardists living there which would run up Into the thousands of dollars. Just to Illustrate: W. H. Rains ford, who lives In that locality and who has seven and one-half acres of strawberries, estimates that the shortening of the distance to Med ford by the cutoff will mean a sav ing to him of more than $100 each marketing season. And the other orchardists living In the vicinity will realise equal benefits. The road was ordered hullt hv the county court about one year ago. hut hat been held up owing to the litiga tion aa to the boundary between the Stewart and Hanley places. The mat ter went to the supreme court, but was settled a short time ago with out being passed on by that tribunal. County Judge Nell has ordered Road Supervisor Von der Ilellen o commence work at once. A force of men will be put at work clearing the roadway preparatory to the makltg of the roadbed. CHECKINU BEAR CREEK. Wing lani lb-lug Placed to Prevent Hunk Cutting. W. H. i.io-.-p has been engag-d to superintend the putting in of a series of wing dams on Bear creek so as to prevent future high waters from striking the banks where the recent washout near the city occurr ed. This s to be a permanent work and In connection with what Is be ing done by the city engineer's force, no tears of further damage at that point need be feared. Mr. Llptrap commenced work yesterday afternoon with a small force. More men will be put on and the work pushed be fore there Is another raise of the water. Vocal Whisky. Residents on Oakdale avenue had their peaceful slumbers disturbed In the wee sma' hours Friday evening by what they thought was a cry of "fire." W. Stringer, among others. was disturbed by the cries and went out to investigate. He found that the noise was coming from an indi vidual who had acquired a shouting Jag at some of the local booze em poriums. Mr. Stringer shooed the locoed in dividual away and resumed his sleep. In a ahort time a terrific hol lering Issured from under his house. Mr. Stringer again arose and found that the same Individual had crawl ed under bis house and was trying to make the welkin ring from that point of vantage. He persuaded the fellow to come out, and be escorted him as far as the schoolhouse, when the soused one said he could find his way home. Mrs. Stringer, who has been III for some time, suffered somewhat from the excitement, and several people lost some sleep as a result of the whooping propensity of th edrttnk. Orchard Tract Sale. J. E. Watt haa sold his 30-acre or chard tract, which Is situated south of Medford about two miles, and ad- Joining the big Burrell orchard on the west, to Earlam J. Bratney of Hastings, Neb., for $3300. There are 20 acres In cultivation and ten acres of this are planted to five-year- old fruit trees. This Is an exception ally good buy, because of Its loca tion In the midst of a splendid fruit growing section, and the further fact that ft can all be made good fruit land when cleared. Mr. Watt purchased the tract about one and a half yeara ago for $915. Mr. Bratney Is a nephew of J. A. Bothwell of this city. The deal waa made by tbe W. T. York real es tate agency. Stand Htorm Well. County Commissioner James Owens and Road Supervisor L. A. Rose were In the city yesteraday. In discussing the effects of the recent storm upon the county roads and bridges it was learned that while some damage has been done to some of the small bridges and culverts, all of the lnrgest bridges are yet In good shape. At several places It will be necessary to do considerable work be fore another winter to properly pro tect some ot the bridges and the roads In many placea will necessarily have to be repaired. lliinlucM Changes Hands. J. H. Henselman, who has been conducting the G street Tea and Cof fee house for several months, has sold the business to W. C. Flsk, who will continue the business of handl ing tea, coffee, extracts and baking powder at the old stand. Mr. Flsk was formerly connected with the Southern Oregon Produce company. Mr. Henselman will remain In Med ford and will Invest In real estate. Ills reason for selling the business is poor health. Survey of Railroad. Work on the survey ot the railroad to the coal mines la progressing steadily. There are two crews In the field every day, comprising eight men. The line will leave the P. ft E. near Kolus and a spur will be run about two miles to the Cascade mine, the old Broadbent diggings. The main line will be about seven miles long and will run to the Sunnyslde mine, which was before the transfer the property of the Pacific Coal Co. "Shortlc" Cnrnett Honored. Reports from Portland state that 'Shortle" Garnett, who la In attend ance upon the meetings of the Ore gon Rctnll Hardwaremen's associa tion there, has been elected president of that organisation for the enaulng year. Mr. Garnett, as vice-president of the association, responded to the address of welcome by Mayor Lane. Many a man lives a regular cat and-dog life. He purrs In the parlor and barka In the kitchen.

Paving Matters. ' The Warren Construction com pany have a sufficient amount ot crushed rock now on hand and In Medford to complete their present paving contract, which consists ot about three blocks on Main street and one block north and aouth from Main on Central aveaue. Paving is contemplated on a num ber of other streets, and It the peo ple living on these streets expect to petition to have this work done next season they should prepare and cir culate the petitions at once, so the city council can act upon them at an early meeting. There Is talk of paving Oakdnle avenue and J street, West Seven:!) street and north and south on Cen tral avenne. Lincoln's Hinhdny Exorcises.

Correct Glasses Correctly Fitted Notice tbe difference In the way tbe rays of light pas through the OLD style lens and the new TORIC glass. When looking through the TORIC lens you get the same vision clear out to the edge of the glass. In all directions, that you do ONLY through the center of the old-style of lense, thus giving you more freedom ot vision without tbe strain upon the Rectus muscles, which constantly occura when wearing the old-style glasses. With the old-style before with the new TOKIC lens you the eye you see like this. get the same results at all angles without turning your head that you do directly through tbe cen ter of the old style.
