Medford’s newest fruit company is |
the C. & E. Fruit company, Inc.,
which filed articles of incorporation
last week with the secretary of 11
state. Dr. R. W. Clancy is presi- j
dent and J. E. Edmiston, manager. j
The new company has its headquart
ers in the Steinhardt & Kelly ware
house on the Southern Pacific right
o f way near Main street.
A fter being without a city engin
eer for eight eyars, Medford now ha.»
an efficient city engineer in the per
son of Fred Scheffel who was ap
pointed by the city council at its
meeting last week. Because o f so
much building and improvements
going on it costs just as much to
have a city engineer as it does to
have the engineer work done from
time to time, hence the appointment.
Plans are now under way for repair
ing over twenty miles o f paved and
dirt streets including the removal of
the terrible bumps on West Main
street.
Real carnival spirit prevailed at
the Walker mid-week dancing party
in the Medford building last week
with confetti, serpentine, colored
fans, hats and Hawaiian leis given
out to the dancers free.
Local auto tourist registration is
now nearing the one hundred mark.
Miss Grace Chamberlain and Miss
Elizabeth Palmer, well known resi
dents o f Ashland, were victims o f a
serious auto accident near San
Lolinas last week, hey were taken
to a hospital at Red Bluff. The car j |
was a complete reck.
They were i
on their way in Miss Chamberlain’s 11
new car to Pacific Grove to spend a j I
short vacation.
Luke Kincaid, the genial manager
o f the Eagle Point dances, is plan
ning dancing parties in his hall for
every Saturday night in June. His
dance last week was the best one
held there for some time.
The local Elks are planning their
annual picnic for July 4th at the
Elks’ picnic grounds.
The United Artisans gave a very
enjoyable dancing party last Friday
evening in the Knights o f Pythias
hall. ■ Part o f the paraphernalia for
the feature o f the evening failed to
arrive so the feature was not put on.
However, it may be given at a future
date. A good time was had by every
body present.
Work has started on the excava
tion for the new Telephone and Tel
egraph building opposite the old high
school at Fifth and Bartlett. This
building will be a modern one-story
structure with basement, 50x55 feet,
and costing $55,000. It is expected
to be completed in 75 days. Frank
C. Clark, local architect, is the sup
ervising architect in charge while
Donegan & Chrismas o f Portland are
the contractors.
Mr. and Mrs. P. F. Close, owners
o f the Riverside Garage, have sold
out to Charles K. Williams with W.
W. Allen taking over the paint de
partment o f the shop. The sale was
made because o f Mr. Close’s poor
health the past two years. Mr. and
Mrs. Close have purchased a farm
near Eugene where they will move
soon.
Mr. Close has been in the
garage business for many years in
Medford and both he and Mrs. Close
have made a host o f friends here.
Plans are under way fo r a new
$15,000 school building at Eagle

The new Ingersoll Rand two hand

back the long tunnel, temporarily
suspended with the stoppage of

is near the old Stirling placer, and
was presumably one o f its feeders.
There are unconfirmed rumors o f
a strike on the banks o f the Rogue,
near Hell Gate.
With developed
mines both north and south of this
vicinity it seems quite probable.
The heavy undergrowth here makes
anything like complete prospecting
impossible during the summer when
sch work is easiest so far as weather
is concerned.
There is no doubt
that new strikes will be made here
for many years to come.
