TAKEN III TRADE
LOT IS "MINT"
Two Small Lots, Taken in Exchange
for $60 Worth of Firewood Four
teen Years Ago, Prove to he Worth
$2500 Now.
Fourteen yenrs nyo. while a resi
lient of this city, Charles Baleman
purehnsed two lots from a friend,
at (lie time in somewhat straitened
circumstances, paying for them with
fire wood to the value of about .fill).
A short time afterwards, accompani
ed by Airs. Hateinan, who before her
marriage was Miss Mollic Chambers,
he left to take up his residecc in the
state of Washington. The lots, to ail
intents and purposes were forgotten
Two weeks ago, Mr. Balcmau was
staggered, upon opening his mail oite
morning to receive an offer of .fl,
500 for his two lots, situated ju't
south of the Kenrdon warehouse on
South Front street and now shown
on the city plat as lots 8 and 0 in
Luinsden's addition to the city of
Medford.
Thinking that perhaps the person
making him the offer had located a
gold mine on them, or that some
such equally preposterous fate had
fallen the property. Hateman hur
riedly boarded a train, came to Med
ford and, before his departure last
night had refused $2300 for the
property.
"When I got the letter" he said
before ho left " I was surprised at
tho amount of money offered for the
property. Had my correspondent of
fercd mo $300 for the two lots, I
would probably have accepted and
sold them to him without a murmur,
but when he started out with .fl5U0,
and I saw by his paper that he was
a real estate man, I decided that
Medford must indeed have become
what I had been told it was so f
came personally."
He expressed himself as surprised
at the steps made in Medford since
his departure fourteen years ago.

The chief got a gentle tip that a
big gnmo was to be pulled off last
night and cwore in half a dozen dep
uties to assist him in the raid. Soon
after dark had you taken notice,
you may have seen several olficers
in civilian clothes watching from the
roof of buildings and in dark alleys,
laying in wait to swoop down on the
boya interested. Along about I) p. m.
the boys began to drop in and when!

They had seen some of the best men
of tho city wending their way to thi

for a few minutes they located the
bunch and after breaking in the door
they found a larger crowd of them
but only u few taking part. The po

the TOURIST
Collaspible Go-Cart
(JOOU VALIJK In buying a cart one should consider
two things service and satisfaction. The Tourist will
give you both. II is a cart which makes friends with its
users. It advertises itself.
Whether the buyer chooses a low-priced cart or one
of more elaborate finish, so Iomr as it is a Tourist, the qual
ity and value is good.
CONVKXlKNCIi: The Tourist folds very compactly.
It is particularly convenient when traveling. It can very
readilv be unckcd in an ordinarv trunk. It is a luxury
which has become a necessity.
FOLDIXd DKVirKNothing could be simpler than
folding the Tourist. (J rasp the handle-bar with one hand
and the front end of the running gear frame with the other;
lift the cart from the floor and draw the hands together.
It ouejis just as easily. When folded it is vvy compact.
