"Ollie Keller and Gertrude Walker, the
other members of the pleasure party,
were all thrown into the water, but
were rescued by the Celtic's crew.
The launch was worth $2500. Air
tight compartments saved it from
sinking, although it was cut nearly
in two when the steamer hit it.
A searching party patrolled the
bay throughout the night for Fuhr's
body, but without success.

$2500 when retailed at senate res

and at $37.50 when served in a good
restaurant. Potatoes worth 30 cents
a bushel in his state bring an ad
vance of 450 per cent when served

Under the caption, "Medford, the
Queen of Southern Oregon, and Why
She la 'If " the Dally Gazette-Times
of Corvallis, Or., publishes the fol
lowing article:
Medford Is no longer a town; It Is
a real city with a reasonable prospect
of surpassing Chicago and Eugene at
an early date. When a town la so
far along that smoking In the dining
room is the rule rather than the ex
ception, and no .ban la placed on the
cigarette, nothing can stop it all
the mossbackism this side of glory
suddenly centered there would not
even check the onward rush. Med-
ford has reached ' this stage of de
velopment, has hit this very warm
pace, and the residents there now
think only In six figures. The man
who has $2.50 worth of stock In an
orchard company is counting his
riches in the hundreds of thousands,
and boosters Insist that they arc con-
Is so consplclous that a clodhopper
from tho Willamette, where few have
had faith enough to build decent
structures, must needs fall down and
worship. And with Medford's materi
al growth has como a continued
growth of optimism, and tho most op
timistic of the all are some of the
rank old mossbacks whom the live
wires hnmmered at until they opened
their eyes-to tho wondrous opportuni
ty there, caught on and are now In
the swim. The mossbacks who havo
failed to catch the spirit and keep up
with the procession are ridden ovor
rough-shod, voted down and kicked
out at every given opoprtunlty, and
whether or .not this is exactly the
right thing from a humanitarian
standpoint, It is certain that tho antl
mossback spirit Is converting Medford
Into a modern little city with great
prospectB of its population equaling
the number of trees on tho hillsides
about tho city. A very amusing story
is told of ono ultra-conservative who
lived in the heart of tho city. Ho was
a well-known and highly respected
gentleman with considerable means
and quite an acreage In the city,
When tho paving and other .Improve
ments came along he opposed until
he was overridden, and then he got
mad and swore ho would leave tho
town. He sold at a great advance
and bought a country-seat far out, so
ho thought. That was about two
years ago, but already his resldonce

anywhere from 6,000 to 8,000 people
at the present time, not Inclusive of
the crowds at the hotels NaBh and

lastingly full of people that the sides
are bulging out; but it Is the ever-
Increasing numbers at tho city's hos-
telrle8 that glvo Medford hope of
reaching that 200,000. To accom
modate guests at the two hotels nam
ed, Tuesday night cots were placed
In tho hallways and somo young men
were hung up on the coat racks. Tho
only thing that Is worrying Medford
right now Is the question: "Where
aro wo going to put 5,000 homeaeek
ers who will como In on tho special
colonist rates during March and Ap
ril?" Two immense hotels are now
being gotten undor way, but it will
bo a year, almost, heforo they aro
ready for occupancy, and at tho pres
ent time all tho hotols and rooming
houses aro filled. Medfordltea believe
that the hosts aro coming and It looks

nothing doing, more people could bo

sees on a Portland street excopt when
something special Is doing. It isn't
possiblo that any proportion of Med
fordltea are idlors, for there is plenty
of work thoro, so most of these peo
plo must be homeseokors and visitors

like business, and It Is business.
Eight big, class A buildings aro In

cover that sevoral of tho big buildings
now in use aro but recontly finished,
In fact the eutlro business section is
new enough to be generally up-to-date
and the absence of them real shacks
almost a convert.
But to get down to facts, devoid
of enthusiasm, Medford has twelve
blocks of business buildings, tho
whole stretch better eappearing than
the business section of either town
south of Eugene. There Is one four
story structure, several three stories
and many first-class two story build
ings. The streets aro wide and a
mile or mora is paved and twelve
miles aro ordered paved. Somo of
this work 1b now under way. One
thing In particular shows that Med
ford Is a rebuilt town and that all
tho southorn towns are being rebuilt
that Is tho extension of tho sldo
walks. Conservatism led tho council
to order, originally, nine nnd ton-foot
