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.

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.

The soles are through; they trip

Would they were new again, all fine
