1 THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 10.10. $ EAGLE POINT EAGLETS $ I By A C. Hewlett Verv Attractive and Spacious. MIsh Carrie Mlllppaugh, district secretary for tlio Women's American Baptist Homo Missionary society, came out on tho P. & E. Ir.st Sunday and spoko threo times In ti e church nt this place. In the afternoon she organised a women's missionary cir cle nt this place. There was not tho hearty response that ought to lmvo boon expected, ns there was only ?2 and n few cents raised at the mis sionary collection, and but few seem ed to take hold of the proposition to form a circle. She is a woman of considerable ability and revived a cordial greeting from the members of the church here. Mr. Hnmmon of Trail tilled Sun day night on his way from Medford to his home. He has been in the goat business on Trail for some time, but lias sold his band and Is turning Ills attention to some othor branch pf business. John .McKee of Big Butte was a pleasant caller Monday morning. He was on his way from Medford, where bo bad been staying for some time, to bis homo. O. IT. Wnmsley and daughter. Miss Mabel, were visiting at the Sunny slde last Sunday. Thomas Grlgsby came out for a load of goods the first of the week for tho Butte Falls merchants. W. Gerlg, general superintendent of construction. came out last Mon day, procured a horse and saddle at tho Sunnyslde stable and went as far n3 ther have the right of way cleared, that Is, almost to Butte Falls. He says that they are get 'tlng along nicely, clearing tho right of way and with usual success they will have the right ot way cleared by tho first of March and that the men are doing fairly well at work, considering the drawbacks. Tho constant rain and of necessity mud makes It very disagreeable for the men, ns they have no conveniences for drying their clothes and even In the camps they have mud all ot the time, but he thinks that as soon as we have a little dry spell so as to settle the ground that the men will become better satisfied and work will progress more rapidly. There was a carload of steel rails went on to the front Monday and there Is now a large force of men ballasting the track, making the switch on the des ert and the bridge crew is busy put ting In culverts and in fact things begin to look lively around V' ,A. drummer was here last Monday all day and all night with a whole wagon load of drummer's trunks in terviewing Brown & Sons, and the probabilities are that they have laid in another large stock of goods. In fact, there Is scarcely a day but one ot the two general merchandise stores receive now goods, and It Is often the case that the customers have townlt till their team comes to trade. Ernest Cole, now one of tho rail road postal clerks on the Southern Pacific railroad, came over last Mon day to gather up some of his boloug tugs, ns he has sold his land In this neighborhood. He bought 15 acres of land of Pierce & Son for $22.50 an acre and sold It with uo Improve ments except n small house and hen house for $50 an acre. Not a bad In vestment for him. Mr. Peyton came out last Monday with a team and Tuesday morning left tho team nt the Sunnyslde stable, went to Medford to meet his daugh ter, whom he expected to go home with him. Our daughter Hattle started last Monday for Portland with our three little grandchildren that I brought down last November, as their father has Improved so that they thought best to have their children come home. L. E. Smith, one of the young men who has been living with us for several years, also went at tho samo time to visit the McGees. Stepps, Iseles, Obenchalns. who live In Portland.

THE ORIGIN OF WILL SING IN TWO COLOR GOTHIC NOTES Discovery of Famous Fungicide Made Through Spraying Vines With Copper and Lime. Prof. O'Gara haB an article In the February number of Better Fruit, bearing on the history and value of Bordeaux mixture. The discovery of this great fungicide, like all other dis coveries, la attributable to the habit ot close observation on the part of the discoverer, together with an ele ment ot chance. It was in 1882 that Prof. Miller, was passing through the vineyard of St Julian, In Modoc, Franco, and -was surprised to notice that all along tho road tho leaves wero still on the vines, while in all other places they bad already fallen. There had been some mlldow that year and tho pro fessor at first attributed tho presence of the leaves to some treatment for that dlseneo. Investigation proved however, thnt the vines had boon sprinkled with sulphate of Hmo to geep niaruudorB away from tho grapes. From this tho ubo of the mix ture for the proventuio of mildew was a step, and from It all, finally deve loped tho Bordeaux moxturo, which Ij now universally used as a fungicide At first the mixture was of a con sistency ot thin mush and was applied to tho vines with a whisk broom, af terwards It was reduced. The first formula publlsncd In 1885 contained five times ns much sulphate and 10 times as much limo as Is used In standard 5-5-50 formula ot today.

Of n recent show put on by Mr. Wilson, the Lewiston Tribune says: "The chorus showed itself trained to perfection and Mr. Wilson, the' lender, und the man who organized, the show, must be blamed for the fact that there was not a hitch in, tho performance. In fact, some of the combined orchestra and chorus numbers the Tcsults were so liar- f monious as to mako the listeners wonder that such a thing could be , possible, considering tho short timei devoted to practice.
