Are Doctors Any Good? Foolish question! Yet some' people act as if a medicine could take the place of a doctor! The best medicine in the world cannot do this. Have a family doctor, consult him frequently, trust him fully. If we did not believe doctors endorsed AVer's Cherry Pectoral for coughs and colds, we would not offer it to you. Ask your doctor. No alcohol in this cough medicine. . c, Ayr Co. . Low, mm. II we did not believe doctors enduned Ayer't Puis for constipation, bilioiuoeu, sick headache. we would Dot oner them to yon. Ask vour own doctor about this. OUR COUNTY Correspondents j JAt'KMONVILLS .NEVt'B Mr. and Mrs. John Derelln of Ap plegate were la Jacksonville Tues day.

Harnlsh and family and Henry Daley went to Crater Lake last week, to be gone for about two weeks. Prof. J. C. Johnson, who taught the Reese creek school last year, and Is engaged to teach this coming sea son, returned to that settlement last Tuesday. G. H. Wamsley, daughter. Miss Mable and niece, Mies May Flckel, with L. E. Smith as teamster and guide-, started for Crater Lake last Monday morning. Mrs. Samuel Brulce of the unsur- veyed region, came out on Thursday of last week and Is a guest at the Sunnyslde. Her husband Is working at the carpentering business on Jas. Jordan's new house. A. H. Boothby, formerly of Pros pect, bnt now of Central California, who baa been visiting bis daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Arrant, of Klamath county, passed through here last Tuesday afternoon for Ash land. On Saturday of last week your Eagle Point correspondent took . a trip up to Peyton, where he preach ed twice on Sunday, and while on the road and In that and the ad joining neighborhood he met quite a number of people on their way to Crater Lake and Fort Klamath; also several teams hauling lumber out to the railroad at Eagle Point. .The Derby sawmill was running at full speed and turning out a fine lot of lumber. While on the road I learn ed that Mr. Riggings was at work In Medford, carpentering; that A. B. Zimmerman, the man that bought out the A. J. Daley store, was pre paring to move his family to Eagle Point; that Frank Nell and . bis two youngest daughters bad goae to the county seat to visit bis father. Hon. J. R. Nell; that Hon. Hater of Medford and wife and a lady and gentleman friend had started for the Iowa lumber camp and when about halt way between here and the camp their auto broke down;- that Mr. Dttaworth, who happened to be pass lag with kli load for Fort Klamath, picked up the two ladles and took them as far as he went on their road, and that the others had to walk all the way, as they could not are cure a rig; that Mr. Stewart and Mrs. Susan Perry were np to the Stewart place, on Rogue river; fiat asedieiaee would systems have be- dowa tarauh eeey rase aa kwwtuj. the crop ot fruit, especially apples, was not so good as usual, but that the berry crop was up to the stand ard; that Mr. Bwihart, the Derby merchant, was building a new store on the road near the Derby postof flce; that that part of the country was filling up very fast and every thing In the business line was look ing up. While In the neighborhood of Pey ton I visited Mr. Dltsworth's black berry garden, potato patch, etc., and, talking about berries, Mr. Dltsworth bas about an acre in blackberries, end the vines are simply loaded, and he calculates that he will be able to market 600 gallons off of It this sea son. He was gathering bis first picking last Monday to take to Klam ath county, where be thinks he will dispose of the whole crop. While in the neighborhood ot "ey- ton I learned that John Pankey had taken the contract to cut and deliver In the log tbe timber on the Dr. Ray tract ot land near Prospect. On Monday morning I crossed the river on the Flounce Rock bridge, and visited the farm of T. M. Peelor, known as the Charley Knighton place, and he and his son-in-law and partner, Mr. Blanchard, were haul ing In their oat bay and there waa a large lot of It that measures six feet in length, and he had some that measured seven feet. Talking about bap, up In that part of the county they have an abundance of It and al most everything else that they want. I also called on and spent the night with F. B. Hlglnbotham, at one time a correspondent of the Medford Mail, and he tells me that he and his son, Bert, will cut and put up 60 tons ot bay this year, and judging from the appearance ot the -barns and uncut alfalfa, there will be no lack of hay ol that road. Speaking about the road, that It, where the county had been doing so much work during tbe past winter and spring, cutting out the Tucker bill, and the workmen have done a good job, and after It Is traveled a while and a lit tle more work done on It, we will hare a fine road to travel, although It Is rather narrow In some places. Going on to Trail, I found that lit tle village a hustling little place, and mine hostess, Mrs. Mfddlebusher, seemed to be just as busy as she could be, both In her store and post- office and hotel. On arriving home I found that the railroad men were rushing their work along, laying ties and putting down the rails; that the teamBters were hauling out the pipe for the Medford waterworks, and everything about Eagie Point was going right along.

NSTALLS flE.7 Another algn as to the progress which Medford is making waa showu last night when the new switchboard waa put Intp operation at the local office of the Pacific Coast Telephone company. The change from the old one to the new waa made almost In the twinkling of an eye and It Is doubtful It a single subscriber con nected with this exchange waa 'n any way aware ot the fact. In addition to the young lady op erator In the operating room if the exchange last night was the lo cal manager, J. J. Buchter, W. R. Logus, transfer chief, and C. F. Bay lor, the chief foreman. The latter two hear charge of the work of in stalling the new board and chang ing the connections from the old one to the new. Ctianged Laat Mght. It waa only a few mlnutea after 10 o'clock last night when the sig nal waa given, the new connection made and the operators wslked across the room and took their places. Immediately after the lights on the new board began to twinkle like bright stars. "Number, please," waa heard, and then click, click, and three operators were busy, working away as If they had been accustom ed to the new board all the time. The difference In tbe appearance and tbe working of the new and tn, old switchboards must be seen for any one to thoroughly understand what a great change haa taken place in the telephone office In this city. which now ranks among the beat in the state, outside of Portland. On the old board, when a call waa made a small lid would fall down and then the operator would have to close It up again each time. Ia Great Improvement. Then, too, the operator had to lt so as she could speak Into a hanger suspended In front of her. On the new board all this la done away with and everything worka automatically. When a call la made a light appears at the number on the board, and aa aoon as the connection la made the light goes out Then each operator han an attachment fastened to the front of her dresa with a transmitter attached to It In thla ahe speaks and It makes no difference If she Is several feet away or turned around. as tbe speaking tube, aa It were, ta alwaya In front of her. At the new board are places for four local and two long-distance op erators. Along the top la a number of electric lights shaded from the eyea and throwing the light on the board. At the baae la a foot rest covered with rubber. Thla appears to be somewhat narrow until one look at the feet resting on It, when they can readily aee that the afore said feet have room to spare. ; Install New Phone. So much for the Interior of the lo cal telephone exchange, but the com pany la not resting there by any mean. In addition to Improving the cable work and the wiring, tomorrow morning workmen begin Installing the new phones. These will also be of the latest and win work automat ically. That ta, when the receiver is taken from the hook the signal for a call Is given on the board. Then, when the receiver 1 put back on the hook that breaks the conneo- ttnm One thing which the management asks all tbe subscribers to be very careful of, and that Is leaving the transmitter off the hook. In the old board' this did not make much dif ference, but It does make consider able on the new one, aa the light at that number would be going all the time the transmitter was off. CHARGED WITH ASSAULT. Traveling Man Resented Remarks Made by Fresh Young Man. The renewal of an old quarrel which began In Marshfleld, Or., was the cause of two atrangors appearing before Recorder Teller In the police court yesterday morning. Beth of them wero represented by lawyers, and after a hearing, which occupied the time ot the court for about two hours, both cases were dismissed. The Marshfleld man was A. J. Mendel, the manager of a liquor es tablishment at that place. It la claimed. He arrived In Medford and shortly after that he met R. P. Ep pensteln, a representative of Wolf Bros., of Ban Francisco. The ex treme freshness of tbe Marshfleld youth waa somewhat suddenly check ed when tho two met In the Louvre cafe, and the California man slapped the face of the other. E. E. Kelley appeared tor Mr. Eppsteln, while C. E. Reamea ap peared for Mendel. Recorder Tsl fer appeared to think that tbe youth from the coaat city got about what waa coming to him and acquitted Mr. Eppenateln. The latter has a number of friend In this city and several of them were In the court and congratulated him when be won out. The Wright are reaping riches In the fields of space. CHI!
