Little Girl, you look so small;
Don't you wear any clothes at all !?
Don't you wear a shimmy skirt !?
Don't you whear a petty skirt
Just your corset and your hose
Are these all your u~nderclothes ?
Little girl, when on the street
You appear to be all feet,
With your dress so very tight
You surely are an awful sight.
Nothing to keep you warm
Crazy to show your form.
Little girl, you don't live long,
Just because you dress all wrong. .
Can't you wear more u~nderclothes
Than your corset and your hose :?
After while, l do believe,
You will dress like Mother Eye.

The man, let him be merchant
or farmer, who refuses to join
a movement for good roads, is
selfish and short-sighted. IT a
merchant, then he wants the
patronage of the farmer without
offering him the advantages of
good roads in seeking his bust
ness; if a farmer, then he under
estimates the value of his time
and the loss incident to the wear
and tear of his vehicles and farm
animals.

The Frisco having tested a de-

ASHLAND DEFEATS TALENT.
Visitors Play Strong Game But Fail
to Bunch Hits.

The people who were not bluffed
by the hot weather or the indications
of thunder shower were treated to
the best exhibition of the national
pastime last Thursday yet seen on
the local diamond this season. Tai
ent was represented by the best ag-
gregation of pill-toss ers that ever
swung the willow in defense of the
honor of our country neighbors.
Dutch Ferns, a former normal
school Finger, endeavored to serve
the perpleXities to the slam Dangers

his three years vacation in the hay

MEAT QUESTION DIFFICULT.
Medford Public Market Confronted
With Knotty Problem.

The meat question in regard to the
Medford public market was a topic or
great deal of discussion at a special
meeting of the city council Friday
afternoon. Possibly no nearer a So
luton than before, only that they
nave resolved to make it possible for
any farmer or person to sell or offer
Tor sale meats at the public market
after having the animal in possession
Tor a specified length of time, prob
ably 80 days.
Under the present market ordi-
nance there is no time specified as
to the time any person must have an
animal in his care, and as the mar
ket is founded as an institution to
bring together the producer and the
consumer, it has been found neces-
sary to place some restriction on the
matter, that people may be prevented
from buying stock one day and sell
ing the dressed meat the next.
Meat can and will be offered for
sale at the market at any and all
times, say the councilmen.

GOLD SEEKERS RUSH.
Rich Exposures Near Lakeview Are
Reported.

New Pine Creek, Ore.-Quite a
rush was made to the head of Cotton
wood Wednesday by reason of rich
free gold specimens brought in from
that section by John G. Neis.
This district lies Immediately be-
tween High Grade and Gold Basin
and bears all the earmarks of a COM
ing mining camp. 1t is now evident
that the prediction that many new
camps will be developed in the War
ner range was wisely made.
The ore specimens brought down
by Mr.. Neis panned over $40 a ton
and were only outcroppings. There
are scores of claims staked there.
Twenty-four people went out in
hacks, buggies and on horseback
Wednesday morning and Others went
later in the day.
AT the breast of the tunnel in
the Fairview, one of the Seven Lakes
group on Yellow Mountain, j. p.
Branley, the local manager, has brok-
en- into body of white and yellow
quartz resembling ore from the re-
cent strike in the Big Four, which
adJoins this property. The strike
has created much interest in the dis
trict. A trial shipment of ore from
the Fairview will be made soon.
A plat has been filed of the new
town of Branley, located in the CEN
ter of the High Grade district and
surrounded by the Big Four, Alturas.
Josephine, Consolidated, Huckleberry
and Seven Lakes groups. 1t is the
midway point between New Pine
creek and Fort Bidwell The road
was opened into it from both places
last week by snow shovelers. A res
taurant and lodging house is now un-
der construction, and other business
buildings as well as residences are
certainties of the near future.
Specimens of mineralized quartz
from the east slope of High Grade
are heavy in iron sulphides showing
evidence of both gold and silver.
Mining men who have seen the ore
pronounce it first class. 1t is SINH
lar to the ore from Modoc, Sunshine
and Last Dollar mines.
