David Day and .family have re moved to Medford, Mr. Day being compelled to go to the city to look after his property holdings. There was a "box" social held in the school room on Saturday night for the benefit of the school and It was well patronized and was a suc cess. Butto Falls Is attracting the at tention of outside capital as many men havo been hero within the past week Inquiring and investigating openings. Miss Blossom Morris will teach the Beale school tho present school year while Miss Edith Graham will teach at Derby and Mrs. Wharton will teach at Trail. J. C.

Vn nre exnectlne some radical rev olutions hero Just as soon as the P. J & E. railway reaches our town and that the complexion of our citizen PIONEERS MEET IN JACKSONVILLE SEPT.22 Tho Pioneer Society of Southern Oregon will hold its annual meeting at Jacksonville, September 22, at which time an effort will bo made through the aid of tho Native Sons and Daughters of Oregon to perfwt an organization to perpetuate the memories of tho pioneers. The num ber of tho original pioneers is grow ing smaller year by year and it is incumbent upon their descendants to iecp their deeds in remembrance. William Jolnm.n will deliver a short oration on pioneor day and thoro will be a short musical pro gram, A feature will he tho obituary no tices of those who have passed away during tho past year, among them being Silns J. Day, tho secre tary of the socioty from its incep tion almost. Tho list comprises D. P. Brittnn, A. D. Ilolman, W. P. Towne, Rial Benedict, Silas J. Day, II. K. Ilnnna, Kindor Bonz, and R. J. Cameron. It there's nothing a want ad can holp you to accomplish you'ro lead ing too quiet a Hfo! exact eharo of business, ship will undergo material modifi cations. Wo can stand It. Mrs. Morris, who oponed a bakery hero a fow weeks since, Is building up a fine trade as tho people havs a liking for home-mado bread and pastries. Sho has placed a ulco sign In front of her business place A small fire broke out near Bon Fredenburgh's barn on Friday night nnd Mr. Frodonburgh styed up all night nnd fought tho flro and In tho morning chopped down tho burn lng tree from which tho flro seems to havo started. Ben Fredenburg wishes to correct the report that tho lato flro upon his ranch started from his burning tho slashings. Mr. Frederburg says his "slashing" had been burnt over for two years last past and tho Into fire was started some dlstanco away from the clearing and was evidently set out as he thinks most of the present flrea havo been. No rain has fallen yet and tho forest fires are still burning at va rious points, but are under control by the soldiers and foresters. Too much credit cannot bo given to Uncle Sam's boys for tho heroic and noble way they have fought these fires, day and night, and the effi cient services of Major Martin and his officers. Deputy Forest Supervisor Knnpp of Portland has "been upon tho ground hereabouts superintending the firo flghtesrs and he reports that thp fires about Dudley are about out and that Mr. Spencer, tho quar termaster of the camp. Major Mar tin, commandant, roports that the squad of soldiers, which were at Dudley, haxe gone to Joint Captains Upton and Offley at Inlmaha and that tho fires are under control. There Is no doubt that most of the fires have been set out by men who do not care what destruction of property they cause or how many lives they endanger and they are not chargeable altogether to "campers" or stockmen. It would be a good and wise thing for tho legislature to alter the present deer law and have the season open not earlier than Oc tober and this might lessen the num ber of forest fires. We would call attention of the supervisor to the approaches of the new bridge on the Eagle Point road about a mile out and near tho Irri gating ditch. Tho places should be gravelel and fixed up like It had been done by some one knowing his business; also to the defective bridge near Brownsboro. There Is a dan gerous hole In the surface and a rock has been placed over tho hole; also to the need of a footbridge in front of the Palouso ranche so that people can cross with some degree of safety. The quartermaster's department Is dally hauling In supplies for the sol dier boys, but Its Is rumored that the troops will soon be called back to American lake; If so, tho people wish to extend their appreciation to them for the invaluable services which they have rendered and the very excellent manner in which they acted and the courtesy of Major Mar tin and his officers. Uncle Sam can be proud of this First regiment of regulars and they always will be welcomed to our midst, and hope they will have a glorious future. 'FINAL TENNIS MEET ON NEXT SATURDAY The final meet of the Southern Oregon Tennis association will be hold on tho Oakdale grounds of Med ford, Saturday, September 10.
