J.F. Loosley, the Ft. Klamath creamery man, came to Medford last week with 1500 pounds of butter from his creamery. The butter was placed in cold storage at the Medford Ice plant, since which time Mr. Loosley has been engaged in working it into rolls and shipping it to San Francisco. The gentleman states his creamery had made this season about 9000 pounds of butter, and aside from this head has made four or five tons of cheese. All of these two products, he states, he finds a ready sale for in the larger cities of the coast, principally San Francisco. The season for operation at the creamery commences April 1st and closes December 1st. During the season just past an average of 250 cows have supplied the milk for the creamery. At times the number has reached 300 but the average is not far from 250. This is Mr. Loosley’s first visit to Medford but having read the many pleasant words spoken for our town in the columns of The Mail during the past year, he, like many others, decided to “try it one whirl for luck.” He will load back with merchandise of a varied nature—and we are satisfied that his first visit will not be his last. He is a gentleman always keen for bargains and he will not lose sight of the treatment extended him by Medford merchants. His success in operating the Ft. Klamath creamer proves him a gentleman of sterling ability—while his judgement was not at fault when he headed his team Medford way.

Phil Loosley, who recently returned from Crater Lake, tells that all kind of things are doing up that way. Chief among the good things are the road improvements which Mr. Hodson, the Medford auto man, is putting on the road leading to the lake. The rocks are being removed, chuck holes filled and the high places in the road leveled to be out of the reach of automobiles. He is also building a bridge across Union creek.
