MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1910. 2 - Butte Falls Items Arnold Bnnholoer Buffered u se vere cut in ihu forehead from being accidentally thrown in front of the mill snw. It was n narrow escape from death. Arnold is doiiiR well now, but will herenfter watch that saw, Butte Falls can boast of a natural untatorium and every evening the boys tnko a plunge in water flowing from mountain springs over crags, leaping over rocks and dashing down declivities and tumbling through cavernous gorges, shaded by over hanging branches of bnlsamic und pine vegetation, which fragrant it with delicate perfumes chemicalized in nature's laboratory. What a grand, romantic, weird and commanding summer home could some capitalist enjoy if he were to build upon the mountain top near Butte Falls. All around him would be glndcs and dells, clefts and cliffs, towering giants of centu ries, rushing, rumbling, roaring wa ters impetuously coursing their way to- the ocean. On either side would bo have n scene that would delight the clfs, fairies and goddesses, while the invigorating continuous breezes laden with the smell of pino, cedar and balsam, intermingled with the fragrance of wild flowers, and the view of primitive- pictures of natural growths of exceeding beauty, would calm his racked nerves and restore him to natural state of peace and bring to him that sweet sedative, undisturbed, refreshing slumber that he knows not of in pentup cities or castled residences. Who will be tho first sensible capitalist to undertake to execute this nlan of livins the "simple life"? James Briscoe, who lately pur chased two lots on Laurel avenue ex pects to build on them and open a business place before long. Miss Blossom Morris is one of our most useful young Indies and is al ways ready to help along a good cause. She is quite active in En deavor circles and much is due her for her determined, continuous la bors. Great forest fires have been raging around us and through tho woods nearby and a largo gang of men hav ing been fighting them and some men are employed at night to keep watch lest they spread. The origin of the firca is attributed to changing camps and tho carelessness of travelers throwing lighted stumps of cigars out upon iho grass. Ben Fredenburg and family, who are sojourning on their ranch, wore in town on Sunday interviewing our merchants. Butte Falls is very lively at pros ent. as several railroad camps are! within the town limito and many vis-' itors from the valley are constantly! coming and going and nil of our mer-1 chants report business as good. , Sunday was ice cream dav. and Wheeler & Clnspill, who hud it on sale, were largely patronized and ran out before evening.

The railroad terurinnl grounds uro most conveniently located, and as they nro spacious, will afford room for several tracks and a large road yard. Grandma Kdmonson has opened a restaurant and is kept busy enter taining the local and traveling pub lic. Grandma is a fine culinnrist and is giving excellent satisfaction. Professor Wright, our teacher, is still in the cast, but expected back soon and will teach another year for our district. Jack Doubleday has made many improvements upon his ranch and has now one of tho most desirable places about. lie has water to dis tribute all over it and is now har vesting his liny crop. Several cougars and bears have been killed around us and it is hoped that these varmints will soon be ex tirpated. Mr. Vestal and Mr. Zimmerman o Derby visited us on Saturday and attended the telephone meeting. Better hand this over to a company that can run it and secure an at torney to straighten out matters. L. P. Castor is finishing up his now house. Mrs. Castor entertained a party the other day, giving them fine chicken and cream gravy as a remiuder that she has not lost her cunning or skill in the art of arts. Mr. Ayers was in town the other day and looks very favorably upon an investment in onr place. Will Perry and family are frequent visitors to town. Mr. Perry is har vesting a fine crop of wheat hay, but says crop is short, owing to the excessive hot weather. J. G. Gepport was doing business with our merchants on Saturday. We havo no sickness in our com munity and nre nil enjoying the beautiful summer weather, sleeping under heavy covers and rid of the pests that so annoy valley life. Mr. Metcalf is to reside with us and mil make this a branch f his Medford store and will sell staple articles in his line at Medford prices. Wheeler & Clnspill continue to en joy a good patronage and weekly brine in a stock of goods for their store. What's tho matter with some public-spirited capitalist coming here and purchasing a splendidly loented lot and erecting a modern hotel and runninc it alomr modern lines?

Sena tor William P. Frye of Maine has no intention of following the example of his colleague, Eugene Hale, and re tiring from public life. Fryo's sec retary, Williniu Sands, vouches for tho stutemeut that Frye will remain in the senate. "The senator says he will resign only when he dies," said Sands.
