Local service will be increased by
the installation of five new switch
boards one of which is already in
operation nml the others in various
stages of completion. Six switch
boards have been in ii!c for some ltt-
tlo time ami (bo mUVtions will al
most double the capacity of the
plant. Each board contains 1(50 con
nections and is handled by one oper
ation. Thirteen operators arc now
employed and when the work ad
vances the further sen-ices of four
moro will je required.
This arrangement will allow each
operator to handle the calls quicker
and moro accurately. As there are
l.r)00 telephone users it will be seen
that the change will be n great ben
efit.
Toll rates between Medford and
Gold Hill, Woodville and Gold Hay
will bo reduced from J." cents for a
three-minute talk to 13 cents foi
that length of time and from 10 cents
for ench additional minute of over
time to f cents for each ndditionn

being installed at Woodville which
will better the sen-ice and give long

The work will require from four tr
five weeks to complete but when fin

MAKING MEDFORD THE

The monthly payroll exceeds .30,

oil aro burned daily.
Three hundred and fifty barrels o
asphalt are used ench day.
One hundred and eighty cubii

through the plant daily.
So great is the amount of ccmet

of cement will be used on Med
ford's streets.
Twenty thousand dollars is paii
monthly to the Southern Pacific fo.

Mr. Clark's office is in his autouio
bile. From one part of the city t
another ho is constantly traveling
seeing that all parts of the work :
progressing ns it should. East side
wcM side, north and south one if
hurled in his uuto until you bega
to think that there is not a Mree
in the city that has not some pal
of his crew upon it. So long ha
Mr. Clark been driving over torn
up streets that he things nothing o
hurdling sewer trenches, plowing
through heaps of gravel and dodg
ing heavy wagons and telegrapl
poles. It is an education for a mai
to ride with him, although it seemt
at times as if your education woub
be brought to an abrupt end. As In
drives Jib, uuto ho is driving a bi;.
job.
On the afternoon I was out with
him. Wo went first to where tlu
lingo grader, operating like a har
vester, was tearing up the roadlud
and piling the dirt onto dump wag
ons. Fifty men are at work in this
ciow and they aro tearing up thr
streets in fust shape. After a word
or two there with Ihu foreman Mr.
Clark hurried mo down to where i.
largo gang was engaged in putting
in the concrete curb and gutter. This
gang is spread out for some distance
and contains over 100 men.
Now wo visited tho concrete lay
ers whoro 25 men aro employed.
Thoso men aro all experts with the
exception of a few muekors. A small
rail track runs up un incline to the
top of a huge mixer, run by a large
gasoiluo engine. Up this track are
hauled cars of material, which is
dumped into tho mixer. From tho
mixer it passes into large carts espo-
to where it is hehitf laid on tho
streets. Here is a crew of six men.
who are experts at spreading the con
" mi mai a uuiiorm grade i
maintained. Thi is put down rap
idly. Then in three or four days
the crew handling the binder follow.-..
From the concrete mixers we went
to tho south end of Central, where
the large paving plant is in opera
tion. Here is a plant that represents
the latest ideas in the art of paving
Hugo vats of boiling asphalt are seen
as well as great ovens in which the
material with which the iisphalt is
mixed is heated. There is a vat
amount of noise and great clouds of
dust. Men grimy with dirt peer nt
you from all part of the huge plant
and it is with relief that one com
pletes a tour of inspection and get
out into the sunlight again. Crude
oil is burned and is kept in a hugi
concrete tank beneath tho iil.7t
There is nothing of a temporary or of
n makeshift order to be seen here.
The asphalt wearing surface is put
down by a gang of 15 men, all of
uiemuuriy negroes. This pmj. 0f
men is one. ot the most expert men
in this line of work on the Pacific
coast. They spread the material
and do the finishing.
One could write columns nbout the
big job of the stables, of tho blunt.
smith shops, of the oil room, of buy
ing axle grease by the barrel, of the
fire department, of the thousand ami
one countless details which are in
cluded in this huge job. That Mr.
Clark is prepared for an emergency
u nearly every kind in shown by the
fact that he has even erected a tank
at the plant in which he keeps several
thousand gallons of water for ue in
case the city supply should fail. It
would be something entirely unex
pected indeed that would catch him
napping. So thorough is the syMem
to which the work i reduced thnt if
a foreman should stop a man for u
half hour from hauling gravel in or
der that he might haul n bit of lum
ber the office force would know it
thnt evening. System is the keynote
f the whole affair. Every man J
timed on his trips between the plant
and the street and every load of ma
terial is checked up. There are no
leaks.
It is a big job handled in a big
way. some day get out of your nit
and go out and watch it. It is well
worth while.
