The young orchards set out in this vicin ity this season aro making an excel lent growth and looking splendid. Tho forest fires in tho reserve above town are now practically un der control and have done very little damage, having burned tho under hrush, but did not damage the large timber to apeak' of. Every available man was out fighting fire for a few days. If flro wore set out at the proper timo each spring and tho leaves, needles and small underbrush burned up, it would bo a benefit and prevent a great many fires during the summer months. An ounce of preventative is worth a pound of euro. Dr. William P. Holt of Eaglo Point has been called to this section several times lately. Tho doctor had what might have been a very serious runaway on July 18. Ho was quite badly bruised up, his little girl slight ly bruised and one horse Injured. Loon Hasklns of "Hask'ins for Health" fame and family aro rusti cating and enjoying mountain air and water and the famous Butto Falls trout Just above town.

Tho object of the association, if successful, will be tliu building and selling of cot tages to homeseckcrs on the install ment plau, giving the poor man a chance to buv a homo with thu money he pays out otherwise in rents.

Work will commence at once on the new sewerage system for the Central Point high school. It is understood that valuable im provements nre to take place at the Christian church. While this im provement and renovation is going on it would be a good idea for the brethren to remove thnt old disease breeding outbuilding, which is n men ace to health. Such lavatories should not be permitted to stand, not even should they be located in a frog pond environed village of Arkansas, let alone Central Point.
