MEDFORD'S STREETS OBJECT LESSONS.
Medford streets furnish an object lesson in the value
of paving.
The contrast between the. paved streets ami the un
paved is so great during the rainy weather that no one can
fail to see the greater value of property on paved .streets.
As a business and commercial proposition paving pay,-:.
The value, and desirability of property is increased far
more by paying than the mere cost of the paving.
Stores on side streets can bo rented Tor double the
present rental if the streets are paved. Residences can
also be rented at an advance much greater than tho cost
of the yearly paving assessment.
Medford should become tho best pavnl city in Oregon
and it is hoped that another year will see both Sixth and
Eighth streets in the -business district and all connecting
streets paved as well as Central avenue. Riverside and
East Main streets, as well as other residence avenues
paved so that Medford may indeed become the most at
tractive and desirable of cities.

SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 19. Al
though former Special Agent L. K.
Glavis has hee discharged ami dis
credited hy Secretary Balliugor, tho
interior department is depending
chiefly, upon tho testimony collected
by hint to support its chnrges of
fraud in the Cunningham coal cases.
This "has already become evident in
the character of the exhibits and af
fidavits introduced .by the govern
ment' in the Cunningham 'hearing,
. which 'was resumed this morning.
Yesterday and today tho govern
ment's attorneys introduced -9 affi
davits and other documents, most f
them procured by Glavis while he
was working on the case. Many of
these are from the cntrymen, half
n dozen of them from Cunningham
himself, and the collection is honey -
combed with discrepancies and con
tradictions regarding the plan and
intentions of the entry-men.
Many of them deny positiye.ly that
the entrymen had any agreement to
consolidate their interests, but tho
agreement to consolidate is set up
in detail in the private notebook of
Cunningham, n copy of which forms
one of, the exhibits. There aro also
many positive and specific denial
that there -were negotiations with the
Gnggenheims, but one of the exhibit
i u' memorandum of an agreement
proposed by n committee of the en
trymen to Daniel Guggenheim in New

BALL PLAYERS
ARE NUMBERED
In Order That Spectators May Be
Able to Keep in Touch With
Plays, Each Player Will
Be Tagged.
(United Proas Leased Wire.!
SEATTLE, Wnrfi., Nov. 10. For
the first time in the history of foot
ball in tlte northwest, the players will
be numbered in the Thanksgiving
game and a key to their identity fur
nished the spectators at the content.
This step toward making tho col
lege sport more attractive to the
spectators has long been urged by
many interested iu tho development
of the game, and for some time hns
been under consideration by tho
powers in athletics at Washington:
The argument advanced in favo r
of the innovation is that the on
lookers can follow the action of their
favorite players, keep track of the
matt with the ball, note tho. flights of
the oval in tho various intricate for
mations involving forward passes
ip short, get to know "who's who" in
a game.
Too Much For tho Grizzly.
Tho hunter was recalling some of his
early experiences for tho benefit of tho
teuderfoot.
"Yes, sir," he said, "it wns my first
grizzly, and I don't deny I was proud
of having killed him in a hand to hand
struggle. Wo began fighting about
sunrise, and when ho finally rolled
over, done for, I'll bo blamed If tho
sun wasn't goliig down."
Ho paused. No one said anything,
and so ho added slowly, "For tho sec
ond time."
"Do you mean that It took you two
days to kill a grizzly'" asked the Eng.
llsh tourist.
"Two whole days and ono night," re
plied the guide, reaching for a brand
to light bis pipe. "Ho died mighty
hard."
"Choked to death?" asked the tourist.
"Yes. sir," the guide said calmly.
"Well, well! What did yon try to
get him to swallow?" New York Her
ald. Bill's Specialty.
They found the old man sitting on
the fence smoking bis corncob.
"Howdy, pap! What's your son Jim
doing those days?"
"Jim? Oh, he's running a telegraph
key at the depot. Jim's an operator."
"And bow's Zeko?"
"Zeke? "Waal, Zeko Is captain of n
lake stoamer. He's n navigator."
"And Pete In he still living?"
'Oh, yes. Tote's working on an
airship, no's what they. call an avia
tor." '
"Well, what hs becomo of mil? Isij
he doing anything?
The old man blew a quid of tobacco
at a wJdo eyed grasshopper.
"Yep, stranger, mil's hanging
around tho houso nil day grumbling
and complaining and saying tho coun
try's going to smash. Bill's Just an
aggrayator, Just n plain aggravator."

"Why. what Is wrong!"
"There Is a berry called whortlc

"Hut the grocer and lots of other

The damage has been done, and my
appetite Is gone. You and the cook
cm hucklo down your huckleberry pie.
I wHI go to the bakery and buy ono
made of whortlebsrrles." - j
It was no use to argue with a
peevish man. He refused the pie, and
after getting upstairs ho complained
of the taste of bis cigar, the majolica
that bad to be scratched twice over
and (he clock that had lost two seconds
flnco morning. The mure he com
plained the more he ached to pick a
fuss, and Mrs. Bowser was finally
driven to silence. Before bedtime Mr.
Bowser, who sat on the front stops
alone, had had rows with two melon
peddlers and u stranger looking for a
man named Smith. There wits a long
breath of relief as tho lights wero turn
id out. and for an hour after getting
to bed Mr. Bowser slept soundly.
Then of a sudden ho nwoko and called
out:
"Hy tho seven horned cats, but there
Js a mosquito In tills room!"
"Yes, there may bb one," sleepily re
plied Mrs. Bowser.
"But what. Is It doing here? How
did It get In? Am I to be kept from
my needed sleep on account of a mos
quito?" "If you keep quiet It wl'l 1 !:e nle
and then go away. It only wants one
bite."
"Keep quiet! I keep quiet for an In
fernal mosquito! Not on your life! I
am no such man. Mm. Bowser, yon
have had tho screen out of one of the
windows. You deliberately tool: It
out to let n mosquito in. You wanted
mo to bo Inoculated with follow fever."
"You aro talking very foolishly. Tho
mosquito has found some opening and
squeezed In. Tlio screens don't fit an
too tight anyhow."
"And tho hardware man warranted
them proof against any sort of Insect '
I want a few words with him over tin
telephone!"
Calls Up Qtore After Hour,
It wns half past JO o'clock, but Mr.
Bowser piled out of bed and down
stairs and mado tho tolcphono JInglo.
IIo got the central ofilco all right, but
was told that tho hardware store was
closed. When the girl had given this
Information sho asked:
"Is It anything very serious?"
"Certainly It is," was tho answer.
"I buy screens warranted to keep out
