Central - While You Wait.' and Auto Works : Medford BIG BARBECUE JULY 4 FEATURE AT BUTTE FALLS BUTTE - FALLS, Juno 2C The Butte Fulls correspondent is taking a vacation- in the mountains of Cali fornia, so your assistant has taken advantage of the situation to say that Butte Falls is busily engaged in preparing for the big celebration, July 3 and 4. . The pit to be used in roasting the big fat steer, is being dug near the park and most all able-bodied men in town are taking a hand in the operation. Judging by the size of the pit. the steer will be a monster. Butte Falls does things and will pre pare to entertain a large crowd on the Fourth. J. B. Watkins of Cen tral Point is employed here and will receive a double share of roast beef j on July 3d on account of helping to i dig the pit. The pole for the; greased pule climbing contest is in place and only needs an application of grease. One of the big attractions July 4th will be the address of :Hon. C. M. Thomas of Hertford. Mr. Thomas is in great demand by the people for similar occasions. lie is scheduled for Yreka on the evening of July 3, but has promised our committee to drive home at night and be on hand July 4th. Let's hear him. Faber and Simerville have lumber on the ground to erect a warehouse for the storage and sale of hay, feed and salt. The roads around Butte Falls' in the winter are not the best in the world and such a warehouse, filled during the summer months will prevent a shortage of feed dur ing the rainy season. Fishing in Big Butte creek is im proving and we notice California cars bringing fishermen to our town, yet we do not see them with many fish. County Assessor Coleman has been In our district the past week, check ing up timber assessments. He was assisted by Mr. Langley of Jackson ville and Mr. Hildreth of Butte Falls. The road from the valley to Butte Falls is In excellent condition. Mr Allen, our road master Is on the job every day and now is working on the road to the Duprey mill. Ho is doing his share to induce a large crowd to attend the celebration. Mr. Ray Parker, a local boy, ar rived home from Pacific university, where he recently graduated. Mr. Parker will be employed in the local high school next winter, and wo must add a word complimentary to our school board for employing local talent. We are so prone to look for greener pastures farther on and to send to distant points for instruc tors, when there are applicants in our own community. The young folks nnd some older folks are enjoying the facilities for bathing in the big tank. We don't see how we can accommodate the crowd on July 4th as far as bathing is concerned in the tank, but may di rect some to the mill pond where the wter is cool and refreshing. . Chris Beal has gone to his lookout station for the summer. Tom Grlgsby had the misfortune to lose a horse this week. He had re cently purchased the team at Central Point to haul shakes to town. Butte Falls hopes to see you July 3d. Bring your blanket and fishing tackle and stay over the fourth. Jitp Prince Is III. HAYMA, June 20.

AT E It is anticipated that the forum on Wednesday will be well attended as a representative of the Southern Pa cific company will present the South ern Pacific view point in controversy over the recent railroad decision of the supreme court. J. H. Mulchay, general freight agent, will address the members forum. He is no stranger to the citizens of south ern Oregon and his presentation of the subject will undoubtedly clear up some of the impressions which have been gaining a foothold in this territory. The people of Medford should not take hnsty action in endorsing any move ment of either of the interested parties until both sides of the questions in volved are heard.
