The first record of Irrigation being used in the valley Is dated back to 1853, when a ditch was dug to take water from Wagner creek for land near Talent. In 1859-60. Governor Brlgga was the first man to sell fruit In the valley. He brought it in wagons from his ranch at Fort Brlggs and sold apples and peaches at one dollar each. J. H. Main street and several other streets for in February, 1885. he came to the valley and purchased what Is now know as the Gordon Voorhles ranch south of the city. In 1890 he shipped the first carload of fruit ever loaded here and by 1893 he had 100 acres planted to apples and pears. That fall he shipped 15 cars of pears and 14 of apples, realizing $4000 from his 60 acres of Bartletts. Two years later he shipped 18 cars of pears and the following year 95 cars of pears and apples. J. A. Whitman was another of the early orchardlata who shipped both pears and apples In the early 90's. By 1897 the Weeks Orr fruit ranch, two miles south of Medford, had 15,000 trees, all of which were bear ing, on 150 acres, and this was con sidered one of the finest fruit ranches in the valley. In. 1900, J. A. Perry and True Cox built a warehouse on West Main street close to the rail road, and for years this was a busy packing plant. A. A. Davis had pre viously built one opposite his mill. The problem of furnishing Medford with a satisfactory supply of water was Indeed a serious question for years. During the first eix years there was no water system of any kind and each family waa dependent on Its well or that of Its neighbor. Then an open ditch three miles long waa dug from Bear creek and the water pumped into two wooden tanks each of which had a capacity of 33. 000 gallons. These tanks stood where th9 Library is now. In 1903 the old ditch was abandoned and a pumping plant established on the west bank of Bear creek. Steam power was used for two years and then the city en tered Into a 10-year contract with the Condor Water and Power com pany to furnish power for pumping the water. By 1908 it was found necessary to find a larger supply of water, and in December a contract wis entered Into with the Fish Lake Water company and the city agreed to pay J254.100 for the construction of a gravity pipeline. By 1919 the city had outgrown this system and a city water commission was appointed. A. L. Walther was chairman of this commission, and 3ie other members were E. O. Gaddls, A. L H1U, H. TJ. Lumsden and O. Arnsplger. F. C. Dlllard waa employed as engineer, This committee ser7ed the commun ity well, and July 1, 1937. water from Big Butte springs flowed through the city and the million-dollar water sys tem was completed, and since then Medford has been proud of lt un usually pure and almost limitless water supply. The sewer ordinance was passed by the city council December 6, 1898, and shortly afterwards a sewer sys tem was Installed. In January, 1907, the houses were first numbered, and the next year Stewart waa the pioneer orchard 1st, were paved. (Continued Next Sunday.) Here la good news, Olrl Scout I The Olrl Scout headquarters are being redecorated and renovated until we feel sure you will hardly know the place when you next come to see us. Much credit Is due the girls who have tried so hard at so many times to clean house up here, and they can feel assured now that the next time this task will be a great deal easier I The color scheme is to be Ivory and spring-green, and the green will be the chief accent In the stippled walls. In addition, we are very earnestly counting on pale green curtain for the five large windows, pale green curtains with many coy ruffles, we hope. Because this is a real special event for us, we wonder If it shouldn't be celebrated properly as an event of that sort should be by what you might call a house-warming, or open house. Anyhow, on next Sat urday afternoon we really are going to have open-house up here from 3 to 4, with refreshments also, and every Girl Scout from Medford and vicinity is most cordially invited to come up at that time, Mr. Doble meler of the Model Bakery Is being most kind In seeing that we have the refreshments to serve, and we appreciate It very much.
