(MARJORIE S. HAMILL.)
When wo first made up our minds
to como west and go into tho or
chard business, I had the usual ideas
of tho averngo eastern womaa of the
kind of life I was to lead. I had
made up my mind thoroughly to cn-
duro hardships and privations and to
do so stoically.
The fact that I havo found things
Here quite tho contrary, from what
I had expected has been the only
disappointment I havo had since
coming to Medford. The life of
a fruit rancher's wife in tho Hogue
River valley, with its delightful sur
roundings, pleasant neighbors and
climate is charming and I would not
change my lifo horo for tho old one
in the city for anything.

IS INTERVIEWED
(MISS GENEVIEVE WORTMAN.)
Mayor Sneli and ' Councilmen
Meyers and Moore of Ashland were
in Medford Tuesday for the purpose,
as Mr. Snell said, of showing Mayor
Canon how to run a right good town.
When questioned as to what was now
jn Ashland, he said that he was
afraid to say anything for fear of
encroaching on Medford. Speak
ing of Medford and Ashland he said
that ho had not, as people supposed,
any jealousy of Medford, but on the
other hand entertained the best of
feelings for us.
In commenting on the recent re
call proceedings instituted against
him ho said that the moral support
of Medford was ono of tho greatest
helps he had had. He said thai
every one in Medford seemed to
be his friend and that he had rested
to come to the city at that time.

There is a Wonderful
Difference
between the light afforded by an ordinary carbon
incandescent and the brilliancy of our new Gen
eral Electric MAZDA lamp. The latter radiates
two and one-half times as much light with the
same amount of electric current.
A 40-Watt MAZDA Affords Twice the Light
of the 50-watt carbon lamp now in general use
and costs one-fifth less to burn. We recommend
its use to our customers as it more than cuts their
light bills in two, making electric light so inexpen
sive that no home, however humble, and no store,
however small, can afford to be without it.
Ask us to show you the new General
Electric MAZDA lamps and clusters.
