DAUGHTER OE BRET HARTE GETS DIVORCE Allowed $BO n Month Alimony Until Stct'l Cnn Give Her $S(HH Cash. SPORT CLAIMED 1CAGM3 POINT KAGftKTS. (By A. C. HowlctU) Tho land business Is still moving and new people are constantly coming In looking for homes and orchard land. Tho last deal In this section so far as I know was tho tract of land known In former years as the J. N. T. Miller place of leo acres that was recently bought by Custer Nichols and sold the other day to his brother-in-law, Wig Jack. The consideration was 110,000. Several prospective purchasers of land .have been here and asked about the dif ferent places that are for sale, but umany of them think that tho price Is higher than what they would be Justl- -f led In pajng but those who havo land to, sell are perfectly Independent and say that the top price nas not oosn -reached yet Thero Is quite a number of orchard latt tn this section now engaged In put ting out fruit trees. I seo that Mr. Hamilton Is preparing to put out about EO00 trees this fall. Some of the or chardlsts are planting peach and pear trees among tho apple trees already planted so as to utilize tho land while tho apples, aro coming on, and then dig the last planting up so as to. not rowd the apple trees. B. H. Harris, the hustler, came out lost 'Wednesday and conetced the Butte Falls telephone line with tho Central Point line and went on that night to estal's to put In a phone there and the next day went on to Butte Falls and connected that place with the outside. world so that now the business men can talk to tho business men of tho world tn a very short time and keep posted as to what Is going on outside. George Chlldreth, who has been help ing his brother In the blacksmith shop, took his family to Medford on a visit last week and has not returned at this wrrltlng. Died On the morning of the 30th ot Tecember at the family residence near "Peyton., Mrs. Stelder, aged about 33 Tears. She leaves a husband and eight children to mourn her demise. Three -children are In the old states, by her "first husband and five by her present husband are here. The entire family havo been sick for some time and It was thought that they would all recoved but her system would not stand tho r.ain of carlng-for a sick .family of child! en nnd she as sick as any of theat. Frank "DItsworth came out and brought the trimmings for the coffin and neces:ary things for the burial and the remains were Interred In the Peyton cemetery. 3. G Richardson of Peyton and his con, Carl, and Miss May DItsworth came out since I last wrote for the Mall Tribune. Carl was on his way to Med lord and Miss May on her way to Ash land to attend school, taking the teach er's course, she making the fifth teach er among the girlo of the family. Mr. Cowglll, the civil engineer who has been taking tho measurement of the water In Butte Creek and the ditches end his two assistants stopped at the Sunnyslde for dinner last Friday on their way up Little Butte creek. Mr. Lam. met them here and took them on their Journey. Mr. Marksberry and son, the, tho Watktns liniment men, dropped in on lis for dinner last Friday, as also Mr. Olppert of Butte Falls. He reports the roads fairly good in his section now, while they are frozen and that stock Is doing well up in that range, Mr. and Mrs. Thomason, he who has a contract for cutting wood on the right of way of th P. & E., returned from a, short visit to Treka, California, last Thursday, stopping over night at the Bunnyside. They report that the roada tn Siskiyou county wero dusty when they left there on Wednesday. George F. King and his brother coma out on Wednesday afternoon on the P. & TS. stayed over night at the Sunny side and the next morning procured a team and driver an. went to Big Butte where they have timber they wished to cruise. The traveling community agree that the P. & E. railroad in greatly improved and it oeglns to look more like a rail road. They have raised the ties up out of the mud In some places as much as three feet and are getting It well bal lasted so that we can ride over it with some satisfaction. TUEBLO. Col., Jan. 1.

TAFT GUHI7TS THK lKOPIiK. (Continued from page 1.) GRANTS TASS PRA1SKS THE MEDFORD SPIRIT (Tlogue River Courier.) "Medford has Just established Its fourth bank and it will bo known as tho Farmers nnd Fruitgrowers Bank. This new financial institution points un mlstakably to prosperity and proves that Medford has something It more than push and hurrah. The whole se cret is that the Medford people are united and stand ready to push or pull every enterprise through which means prosperity to tho town. Wo of Grants Pass ought to ba glad that wo have such an example of unity of purpose as Medford presents. It is to be hoped that hone of city citizens will be small enough to envy our neighbor up the vol ley. Individually and colectlvely let as all resolve to do things with the same vim and vigor that Is displayed by the people of our sister city. wives of the cabinet members. Tho president extended his smile n llttlo more, the cabinet members braced them selves, nnd the common people wore giv en a chance. Thero was no gorgeous display to greet the throng that came through. Thero was only that "Jolly goodfcllow" smllo and tho man behind It down at the couth end of tho blue room. There was no Roosoveltlan hurry about the pro cess. Everyone had time to say "Happy New Tear, Mr. President," and to re ceive a calm dignified handshake, and a word of greeting in return. Starts Band Plays. Tho Marino Band, which up to now had been filling tho Whlto House with the Impressive strains of classical mu sic, firoko into "Hall, tho Conquering Hero Comes." But there was not speed enough In that and they were soon en livening the occasion with ragtime. From one Jingling air to another tho band skipped, making the line move fas ter to keep up with the music. It moved fast right up to the point where "Big Bill" was passing out cheery greetings, but there It lingered, reluctantly. Thero wero attendants on hand, how ever .to keeD the guests mivlng and hany a caller was sharply nudged o hint that ho had overstayed hla time and had bet!er be on hla way. A tap on the shoulder or an eloquent i;ntire forced tho heatltntlng to step nlong. Sev eral gentlemanly looking chops stood Just down the line of callers nhwd of the president, keeping a keen eyed watch on each man or woman that passvd. They made sure that none car oled a package packages are looked on with suspicion In the hands of presi dential callers and they saw to It that no one approached the president with a -and "behind his back or In his pocket. Goregoosly arrayed diplomats came and went, somber Judges passed: smart army officers strode by: plain American citizens hurried through; but solid nnd stationary, on constant duty, expressing greeting and farewell until tho last of the common people had filed out, was the "Jolly good fellow" Taft smile.

The South ern Pacific officials at work investigat ing the narrow escape or tne norwiDounu coaster from Los Angeles when Engi neer E. a Wright nearly ran hla work train Into the bay to avoid head-on col lision with the flyer Tuesday, had not placed the blame lato today. Engineer Wright was taking five flat cars and a caboose along the main tracks of the West Oakland freight yards, when the whistle of the on coming flyer warned him of danger. He opened wide the throttle of his englhe and made for a siding, reaching the track, and clearing the main lino Just In time for a brakeman to throw the switch as tho flyer thundered by. Recent repairs left the track of tho Biding project out over the water of the bay and Engineer Wright brought his train to a standstill as the wheels of tho engine's forward truck left the track and dropped onto the stone breakwater. Among tho many other extensive or chard otnorprlses of tho valley, that of Tho Glen Rogue Orchar company Is nt-, trading much attention and comment. Tho company has been fortunate In ac quiring a tract ot 1400 acres two and a halt miles south ot Jacksonville, tho county seat, possessing nil the require-' ments ns tosoll and exposure to success-1 fully grow all tho various fruits pro-! duced in tho Rogue river valloy, pears, i apples and grapes. Tho tract Is In tho , foothills at such an elevation above the! valley to practically Insuro the company against damage by the late spring frosts should any occur, tl contains a number of rich valloys connected with each other tn such a manner as to secure thorough air drainage. Tho valley land and the lower slopes ot the foothills will bo set to npples and pears, some six or seven hundred acres, planting about an equal acreago of each. The desirable slopes, near S00 acres, those of an east, south or west exposuro will bo planted In grapes, Tokays and Malagas. Several hundred acres of these grapes nre now growing In the valley and the fruit produced Is of such a superior quality I as to gtvo Rogue river Tokays and I Malagas a distinctive class In the Port land and other markets, selling for from twenty-flvo to fifty cents more per box than the California grapes. Lo cal and government expert horticultur ists who havo examined tho Glen Itogue ranch say there aro several hundred acres that will grow the highest quality of iablo grapes. As there aro somo two or three hun dred acres of the valloy land cleared the company will plant 100 acres In pear this spring, requiring 7000 trees.; A forco ot men aro now nt work, clearing land to be planted to grapes. Tho ocmpany reecntly reccivea a car load of modern machinery and supplies and more will be added. They havo had constructed some specially designed machinery which promises to greatly reduce the coat of clearing, in raci u Is tho purpose of the company to cm ploy every means to rapidly and cheaply convert their property Into one of the largest orchards and vineyards In the valley. To Insure a high quality of trees and vines the company proposes to grow their own nursery stock. Buds and cuttings will only be taken from trees i and vines that come Into bearing early, are prollfio and producing a largo per cent of first quality fruit ( A number of prominent business men of Portland and the east are connected with the company, guaranteeing a Ju- ( dlclons and, energetic management of Its t affairs.
