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.

Mrs. Samuel Brulce of the unsur-

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.
