Medford Sun: A quality of coke is
being made from the coal taken from
the Sunnyside coal mine, east of this
city, that is found to be superior to
anything in heating fuel for orchards
to prevent damage by frost ever test
ed in this region. 1t is cheaper than
oil or wood and it is claimed may be
used swith much less expense and
greater safety. 1t produces a white
heat, no flame and little ash. An
smudge pot full of this coke
will, it is said, burn steadily for six |
hours at cost of one-half cent per
pot 1t emits no smoke, leaves no
cinders and is economically handled.
The owners maintain an ineXhausti-
BILE quantity of coal of this quality is
found in the Sunnyside ledge.

stop off for few days in San Fran
cisco, Salt Lake City, Chicago and
Falls, as they pass through
these cities en- route to their home in
Athol, Mass. Mr.. Stacy was very ia
vorably impressed with Ashland and
the surrounding country, and hopes
to be able to return here at some fu-
ture time and perhaps may make this
his permanent home later. They all
feel that they derived much benefit
from drinking the mineral waters, es-
pecially from the lithia water, which
hey drank every day of their stay in
Ashland.
