'.:,. " ; ,';. '''.'-:,: Tho city administration will make a strong protest against granting tho application of the Oregon Gns & Elec tric company for permission to in crease tho price of gas In Medford, when the application is up for hear ing before the state public service commission at 10 a. m. tomorrow in the city council chamber. All per sons interested in the question are invited to attend tho hearing and present their views. The matter waa discussed infor mally at last night's council meeting and the councllraen and mayor were unanimous in opposition to the raise belug granted. It was the sense of the councilman that Medford would rather see the plant shut down and go out of existence rather than have another raise In gas. In fact It was the general opinion that the present price of gas In Medford was exorbi tant in view of the poor service and quality of gas furnished. Mayor Gates charged that the com pany made no effort to get new cus tomers and that for years It had spent no money on Its plant, allowing it to run down. He also asserted that the company had been unsuc cessfully trying to make the plant pay with this service and had actual ly turned away new business, where as it a proper service was given many new customers could be obtained and old ones held and the company's Medford business could thus be made profitable. Each councilman had heard., many complaints of the poor quality of ill smelling gas furnished for some time past. Fred A. Rasch. the gas expert of the public service commission, is in the city and spent today inspecting the company's plant. Fred A. Wil liams and H. H. Corey of the com mission will be here tomorrow. W. H. Ellis will act as examiner for the commission. The gas company will bo represented at the hearing by J. F. Kathriner of the bead office at San Francisco.

Now York Evening Sun.-' HP A GOOD FRIEND ; - A good friend stands by you when in need. Medford people tell how Doan's Kidney Pills 'have stood the test. M. S. Biden, shoe repairer of 21 South Central avenue,- Medford, endorsed Doan's ten years ago and again confirms the story.. Could you ask for more convincing testimony? . "I suffered from 'what the doctor said was rheumatism, caused by an excess of uric acid In my blood," says Mr. Biden. "It showed itself by severe pains, especially in my back. My kidneys were out of order, too, and these troubles caused me to run down in health. I couldn't stoop without getting dizzy. Doan's Kidney Pills did Just what they were repre sented to do and soon the pain began to leave me and my kidneys acted more regularly. By the time I had. finished three boxes, I was without any signs of the trouble." (Statement given September 13, 1907.) On March-10, 1916, Mr. Biden said: "It has been some time since I have had any occasion to take Doan's Kidney Pills, but my opinion of them hasn't changed In any way since I first endorsed them. Today I am en. joying first-class health." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, 05. Y. Adv.
