(The S. P. depot stood In the mid dle of 7th street, which is now Main street). Medford was prosperous at that time, although tiny, and tne paper soon began to prosper also under the new head, shooting up so that within 18 mcnths it boasted 1500 subscriptions. Reminiscing today, Hilton statea that at that time there was not a single paved street ln the town. The residential section as we now know it was undreamed of. and most of the buildings were of frame construction. In 1899. however, the company moved across the street into the brick building now occupied by the Buster Brown shoe store, and were forced, according to Bliton, to pay the exorbitantly high rent of 915 a month! This deplorable condition went on for 10 years, at the end of which time the landlord built a new brick building, 50x50 feet, and hiked said to be a reflection of recent widespread adoption in social and diplomatic circles here of the South American beverage. The Pan-Ameri can union la actively co-operating In the campaign for wider use of matte. Since the days of the Spanish con- quistadores started colonies in South America, matte has been used by Exiropeans as well as by the natives along the coastal regions of the southern continent. It Is declared, however, that working people offer the best market for the beverage and it acts as a mild stimulant and tends to overcome fatigue. 40 ET 8 DINNER DANCE AT BONNEY'S TUESDAY , Members of Voiture 165 of the 40 ct 8 So?ietc will hold their annual dinner dance at Bonney's Grill next Tuesday night, according to notices sent to local voyageurs this week.
