Houses for rent are n scarce article
In Medford. If the complaints being
made In this regard are any crite
rion. Newcomers state that It Is al
most Impossible to secure a single
modern house In the city. A few
"old timers" In the house line are
offered but these are taken up very
rapidly. According to local contrac
tors, there will be a great amount of
building done In the resident portions
of the city this Biiininer, as woll as
In the business sections. But nearly
every house that Is elected Is for
boine family and Is either owned or
rented months In advance
The completeness (nlwnys) of i
torc's advertising is a reliable test
of the completeness of the sl.orc service.
Judging from the unanimity of ex
pression in a mass meeting held re
cently by the residents of Gold Hill,
the citizens of thnt place are of one
mind In regard to a relocation of the
bridge across Rogue river at thnt
place. They have asked the county
court to build tho new one, which Is
promised, at the end of the main
street running east and west Instead
of building tho new one where the
present one stands.
The tnnklng of tho city, they say,
rests with a relocation of the bridge
somewhere nenr the center of the
city. And this the county court will
be nsked to do.
If you nre sure that your store of
fers better vajtics than any other in
your line, he equally sure that it Is
better advertised.

With election dny less than a week
away, politics are beginning to sizzle
In Eagle Point, and incorporation is
the one topic of the dny. It seems to
be a concensus of opinion that the
matter will carry, but only by a nnr
row margin. ' '.
Mud-sllnglng Is now the order of
the day. Those who oppose tho move
have been dubbed "mossbacks," and
they 'are vigorously resenting the
term. Their opposition Is based on
the fact that the place Is as yet too
sninll to take on city government.
On the other hand, those advocat
ing the matter are calling attention
to the various Improvements needed,
which enn only bo obtained through
an Incorporation of tho city.
The election Is scheduled for Tues
day, January 31.
