E
SIGN AGREEMENT
City Council to Consider
Lease Giving Protection
Roxy Ann Park May
Become State Project
At one of the shortest meetings
held by the city council In recent
years, that municipal body last
sight wrestled for a few minute
over granting permission for the
City Cleaning and Dye Works to
erect an electric sign across the
street on South Riverside, voting
4 to 4 on tho proposition. Then,
although he favored the petition,
Mayor E. M. Wilson, Instead of
breaking the tie with hi vote,
showed diplomacy, pleasing both
aide by instructing City Attorney
T. P. Parrell to prepare a lease
agreement for the placing of such
a sign on which the council will
vote at It next meeting.
This agreement will contain all
the ; things those opposed to the
erection of signs want for the pro
tectlon of the city. Councilman
Grey, especially, I opposed to grant
ing permission for any sign to be
placed across any street, and favors
that policy which has been pursued
by councils of recent years.
To By Park Site-.
Or. h. D. Inskeep, city health of
ficer, Informed the council that he
had' received letter from 8. H.
Boardman, stats highway engineer
on the matter of atato parks, re
garding Inskeep' offer to the atat
highway commission for the atat
to tak over the proposed Roxy Ann
park as a state park. The commis
sion ha Instructed hlra to make an
Investigation of the site and report
back to the commission, and he
will be In the city for that purpose
In the not distant future. Dr,
Inskeep was one of the original
booster for the Roxy Ann park. '
The council voted the contract for
paving the alley across from the city
call building, lying between Hortn
Central avenue and North Front
treet, and extending betweon 6th
and 0th streets, to Bulllvan &
Melnes, lowest of the three bidder,
for 748J0. The work will be begun
Inside of 10 days to be completed
before the fall rains set In. The
other two bids were those of the
Medford Concrete and Construction
company at 97080 and R. I. Stuart
e Son at S700 0B. The three bid
ders were all Medford concern.
. Renew Ktohfteld Lease. 1
It was voted to renew the lease
of the Richfield OH company, at the
airport for another year, on terms
of one cent a gallon for go and B
cent per gallon for oil, the mini
mum compensation to the city for
a month to be $10. The other oil
company lease at the airport had
been renewed from time to time on
the same condition at recent coun
cil meetings.
The council adopted an amend
ment to the city electrical cods,
which bring that code up to date
by authorising the olty electrical
department to shut off electricity
from building not complying with
the city's ordinance on standard
wiring and where there wa danger
to life and property.
The much-wanted amendment by
Jhe " Dairymen's association to the
city milk ordinance, which was
turned down at a previous meeting
by the council, wa not discussed,
a no representative of the associa
tion were present to ask the council
to reconsider It aotlon.

There were no gay pink and green
rayon then, "Back In tile Good Old
Days." And they didn't call thorn
lingerie. The undies -were made from
"A. A. Davis' Best." But many old tim
et remember the cloth a It gleamed
from teeter-totter and rail fence, In
the "0's when "times were hard."
Some mothers had time to boll the
letters out of the sacks, but the ma
jority left them In and everyone
knew that A. A. Davis' flour mill was
supplying southern Oregon with un
derwear. Kayser and Van Haalte
didn't have a chance.
Times were really hard then," Qua
Newbury, local attorney, who wa
Jui a oountry boy at Phoenix during
the panic, declared yesterday. "I
have a Tlvtd reoollectton of the three
years from "88 to "SO, The prevail
ing wage In the harvest fields wa
76 oenU during threshing time. We
got Sl.flO a day for feeding the ma
chine and we worked 10 hours a day.
We got up no later than 4:00 a. m.
and kept going until the sun went
rtown behind the hill. The men on
the threshing machine started at sun
up and worked until dark. You
oould meet Rufus Cox on the road
any time of night looking after hi
thrashing machines.
"We didn't est strawberries for
breakfast either. They were almost
unknown. Grapefruit oouldn't be had
and oranges were in the markets
about onoe a year. Farmers' had
ohlcken dinners twice a year and
laborer none at all.
'Oak wood, epllt for oook stoves,
s sold for SUB tier, delivered
In Medford. And the roads over
whloh It was delivered were hub deep
In mud from November 1- to April 1.
Those were the good old days," At
torney Newbury added, "I know a lot
of other good things, too.
"J. B. Stewart raised wheat and
sold It to the mill at Ashland, de
livered for 90 cent a bushel. He
made two wagon trip a day, starting,
on the first one at 4:00 o'clock In
the morning.
"You could buy the finest beef In
the oountry for one and a half and
two and a half cents a pound. Farm
era killed their own hogs, made their
own lard, sold the surplus hogs to
Bill Ulrlch, who ran the southern
Oregon pork packing establishment.
The prloe wa one and a half to t&roe
cents per pound. Chicken ad for
3S cents a piece, but nobody tvA the
35 cent. Thanksgiving turkeys
brought 76 cent. The farmrrs cer.ie
to town In their overall arV. uo oft
ener than they had to.
"Subscriptions to the Medford Mall
(parent on the mother's side to the
Mall Tribune) were paid to A. S.
Bllton In tier wood at 11.36 per.
"Pur coats wore never seen and 11
a young lady appoared In a top coat,
coating more than eight dollars, well

It would be sucK a sim

to produce both good

Everyone else does it.
So did Schilling at one
time. But Schilling
learned that cheapness is
contagious. There are
many good coffees all
made in company with
bad coffees. But Schil
ling good coffee has no
companions. The finest
things usually come
from those who make
good things only. Some
times the difference is
not great
but it's
there just
the same.
