Too canny, truth to tell
For though I'd have her share my lot,
Sho'll no commit hersel'.
I said: "Will you my sweetheart be?"
She answered: "Hoots! Yon
men!"
I pressed her: "Do you care for me?"
She said: "I dlnna ken."
"What! Don't you know your mind?"
I cried.
She said: "It's warm the day."
I asked her: "Will you he my bride?"
She said: "I couldna say."
"Come, lassie, shall It -be this
spring?"
She cried: "You're verra free."
"Tell me, then, may I buy tho ring?"
"Man! Please yoursel'," says she.
Before the chancel steps we stood
St. Giles Kirk in til;
The parson asked me if I would;
Of courso I said "I wjill."
But when It came to Flo's reply,
Tho nearost that she'd go
Was just to murmur cautiously,
"I wudna say I'll no.''

BETTER PLAYS WANTED.
LAST night the Athon Stock company appeared in
"Doris." The house was not as large as one would
expect from so good a show town as Medford. The fact is
there is a lack of confidence in the management of the
Athon Stock company and the public. Mr. Athon is pre
pared to give some of the later successes, but these plays
are all copyrighted pieces and it requires a royalty of from
$100 to $300 per week to get them. Mr. Athon and Mr.
dimmer, who is associated with him, have felt that patron
age docs not warrant extra expense. This, however, we
would consider an error in poliey.
Medford is ready to patronize the best. There is only
one class of people to draw from in this town, and that is
the class that is known as "Highbrows" in the parlance of
the show business. And if Mr. Athon will put on some
copyright plays, he will find that Medford will respond at
once. The company is a good one; some of the members
being among the high class of actors, and they are capable
of producing first-class plays.
Everything has been well staged so far and the opening
bill, "The Powers That Be" was a good show and well
received. The following play, "Hello Bill," was a farce
comedy of the cheaper class. It was well done by the per
formers, but the play lacks merit. Business began to drop
off on this performance. The present bill is a much better
one, but bordering on the melodrama, and Medford does
not care for melodrama. Now, Mr. Athon, give such plays
as the "Bishop's Carnage," the "Squaw Man," "Paid in
Pull," and "Shore Acres" and you will find that Medford
will appreciate your effort and crowd your house.
The company have been here long enough so that they
are known to be not only good actors, but ladies and gentle
men, and we have the kindest feeling towards your organ
ization. Let's get together
engagement of high-class plays.
NEW ERA FOR CLUB.
BY THE election of C. A. Malboeuf as manager-secretary
the Medford Commercial club has inaugurated an era
of expansion and growth that should eclipse its brilliant
record in the past.
In the opinion of the directors, the club have outgrown
its present methods. Hitherto
clerical and office duties to perform, answering corre
spondence and collecting due3. The time has come, with
the rapid growth of city and country, when a man with
higher qualifications is needed, a man who, besides super
vising office details, can manage the publicity work and
do the hundred and one needed things essential to the prop
er development of this region and the realization of its
destiny. vCJ$SM5
The directors believe they have found the right man
in Mr. Malboeuf. He is a graduate of the University of
Montreal, speaks Prench, German and Italian fluently,
has been for many years in the railroad business, resigning
recently as district freight
cific, and probably has the widest personal acquaintance
among business men of anyone in Oregon. He is familiar
with every part of the state and possesses considerable
ability as a writer.
It is hoped to increase the club membership to a thou
sand during the next few months, as well as make it much
more of a factor in the light and upbuilding of Medford
than it has been in the past. '

Price, tho Oregon Independent Tele
phone company promoter, who was ar

for telephone supplies came from tho
Argentlno republic end when tho com

enemies." They urged a war of ex
termination; humanity's dictates
wero too refined to bo applied to
cases wherein Indians wero con
cerned. This class, while- they nf
feutod to deplore tho horrible, mas
sacres of tho whites, still did their
utmost to rouse the Indians to
other deeds of like savagury, by in
flicting on them unprovoked acts
which really bravo ami merciful peo
ple abhor. It is a fact that after
tilts Lane treaty was signed its pro
visions were repoatedly broken b
whites, who deliberately murdered
unsuspecting and holpluss Indians.
Chiof Joe, whom uono of his white
contemporaries suspected of false
hood, said at the Lane peace confer
ence that ho did not bring war, nor
seek to retaliate until 14 of his tribe
had been shot or hung by the white's.
Lest these remarks should be mis
understood, tho render is informed
that they apply only to that irro
snousiblo clement, in the population
which has but littlo respect for law
and justice, nn a not to that great I
body of resectable and law-abiding
citizens who cast their lot iu South

quent to tho signing of the treaty

kept up their efforts to kill off as
