A Model Orchard.
A few days ago the editor of this
journal made a flying trip to the fruit
farm of Frank -Creighton of Three-Mile.
It has been nearly three years since he
first took particular notice of Frank's
efforts to raise fruit on a steep hillside
on the west side of the creek, of little
practical value for agricultural purposes.
It was a perfect revelation to find this
erstwhile barren hillside transformed,
in the course of a few short years, into a
magnificent orchard and vineyard of
some forty acres in -extent. Let any
man who desires to understand the cap
abilities of our soil and climate for grape
and fruit culture, pay a visit to this
orchard. His grape vines set out three
and four years ago in the form of cut
tinga are fairly loaded down with big.
luscious, grapes. Peach trees eet out
two years ago next spring are likewise
loaded with peaches that for size and
quality would do credit to any country
while many of the trees stand fully ten
inches in diameter. In a little nursery
connected with tho orchard the writer
saw Petit prone trees, grafted last March
that stood fully eight feet high, and what
surprised us as imich as anything else
was the fact that trees planted on these
hillsides at the Eame time with others
on the creek bottom had made more
progress and were better . every way
Mr. Creighton has owned the land on
which his orchard is planted," if we re
member rightly, since 1882. For some
years after he came into possession he
tried to make both ends meet, with
varying success, bv raising grain ' and
making an odd dollar on the outside.
He has now an assured and handsome
income from this time forward from his
fruit alone; an income too that will
constantly increase. He has 1020 prune
trees, 800 apple trees, 500 pear trees,
300 peach trees and 1500 grape vines.
The land is in no sense better than
thousands of acres lying contiguous to
The Dalles and the Columbia river, and
what he has accomplished and even
greater things can be done by hundreds
of others who will exercise like dili
gence and judgment. ' .
letters. The Chronicle has no reason ! easily sold at $2.003.00 per dozen
to doubt Mr. Farley's word, and he has
known Dr. Leavens and Dr. Candiam
too long and too well t doubt theirs.
It is to be observed that Turner Leav
ens does not avow the authorship of the
letters. He simply affirms that Jie be
lieves the statements contained in them
to be true, which is a very different
thing. Let him own like a man that he
wrote the Utters, and then Mr. Farley
may have something very interesting to
communicate to him.
From oar IVjrailc Correspondent.
Wamic, Or., Oct. 5 1891.
County Supt. Sheely assisted by loca
teachers held a very successful institute
at this place on Saturday October 3d.
The committee on program, J. F.
Nowlin, Asa Stogsdill, and O. D. Con-
nely had united their eilorts to secure
the best oratorical, eocutionary and
musical talentfor the occasion. The re
sult was on excellent program. A day
and an evening session was held. There
was a good attendance during the day
and a large audience in the evening.
Mr. Shelly's efforts in trying to arouse
an interest in progressive education are
highly appreciated in this community.
Besides uuumerous discussions on var
ious pratieal school questions, in which
both teachers and parents took an active
part, the following literary program was
executed:
Present Cost of the Portage.
The amount paid outfor. labor ou the
portage road up to date is $0831.25. The
amount charged to the superintendent
including $175 for his trip East to pur
chase cars, etc., is $2098.34. the nuni-
er of days of labor employed is 1885 6
10. The total amount expended to date
is $20,697.30, and the amount yet re
maining on hand of the $60,000 appro
priated is $30,302.61. There is yet due
for labor material on hand and con
tracted for, rolling stock, wharf boat,
etc., $21,271.92, leaving $8030.69 with
which to complete the road, purchase
the land, etc. The lower wharf boat
will cost about $5500 and the upper
wharf boat, if built, the same amount.
The amount asked by the owner of the
land for which the state has brought
suit is $2500, and there is also asked for
the water right now in possession of the
state $500. Oregonian,

The assessment rolls of Grant county
for 1890 show the net value of taxable
property to be $1,209,570 while that of
1891 iB $1,199,840. The tax roll shows
an increase in the number of polls and
taxpayers while due to an increased in
creased indebtedness, the net value of
taxable property has been decreased
$9730.

The slate quarry recently discovered
in Josephine county, twelve miles from
Grant's Pass, is the only one in the

found in the East. Such an industry
should be thoroughly developed. A

Unnecessary Sufferings.
There is little doubt but that many
persons suffer for years with ailments
that could easily be cured by the use of
some simple remedy. The following in
cident is an illustration of this fact:
My wife was troubled with a pain in her
side the greater part of the time for
three years, until cured -by Chamber
lain's Pain Balm. It ha, f think, per-j
manently cured her. We also have used

Saved from Death by Onion.
There has no doubt been more lives of
children saver from death in croup or
whooping cough by the use of onions
than any other known remedy, our
or a syrup, which was always effectual
in breaking up a cough or . cold. Dr.
Gnnn's Onion Syrup is made by combin
ing a few simple remedies with it which,
make it more effective as a medicine and
destroys the taste and odor of the onion.

The Coos Bay-Roseburg Railroad com
pany is pushing its work as fast as the
weather will -permit. For a week or
more past showers have fallen and
greatly interfeied with it. Yet the
bridges have been advanced beyond ex
pectation, and the work is pronounced
rarely good and substantial. The first
bridge west of Coquille city, a short dis
tance west of the corporation line, some-
tiling over iuu teet in lengtn, is com
pleted, as are also most of the bridges
and culverts on the line. Tracklaying
is now the order of the day.
It is estimated that $40,000 will lie re
quired for county purposes. A tax levy
of sixteen mills has been made one
tenth of a mill for the state university ;
five mills, school : two mills, road: eight
and nine-tenths mills, county. The tax
roll for the county foots up $4,800,000 ;
about $3,000,000 less than the city that
is, the entire county of Clatsop is worth
$3,000,000 less than one corner of it. In

. Iu a dispute over a game of cards
recently at Mitchell, Grant county, be
tween one McDonald and Jim Teller,
the latter struck McDonald and threw a
revolver in his face. McDonald pro
ceeded to fill up on bug juice, and when
in a state of intoxication, armed himself
with a Huge knite and announced his
intention of carving Teller.', He started
out on the street, it being dark, and
tackled the first man he met, who
proved to be an old gentleman named
Stevenson, completely severing his right
ear with the knife. McDonald was ar
rested and placed in jail.
. 1 he people of McJlmnville are very
much worked up over the fact that the
Southern Pacific is discriminating against
them in the matter of freight rates.
For instance, the rate on wheat from
Corvallis to Portland, 100 miles, is 3
cents a bushel ; from McMinnville, half
way between Portland and Corvallis, on
the same road, it is 6 cents. The reason
for this is that Corvallis is a "competing
point," being a station on both the
Southern Pacific and the Oregon Pacific
roads, besides being favorably located on
the west bank of one of nature's high
ways to the sea the Willamette river.

Oimples.
The old idea of 40 yean ago was ttiat facial
eruption were due to a "blood humor," for
which they gave potash. Thus all tho old Saraa
pariilas contain potash , a most objectionable and
drastic mineral, that Instead of decreasing,
actually creates more eruptions. You have no
ticed this when taking other Earsaparillas than
Joy's. It is however now known that the stom
ach, tho blood creating power, is the seat of ail
vitiating or cleansing operations. A stomach
clogged by indigestion or constipation, vitiates
tho blood, result pimples. A clean stomach and
healthful digestion purifies it and they disappear.
Thus Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla is compounded
after the modern idea to regulate the bowels and
stimulate the digestion. The effect is immediate
and most satisfactory. A short testimonial to
contrast tho action of tho potash Sarsaparillas
and Joy's modern vcgctHblo preparation. Mrs.
C. D. Stuart, of 400 Jlorcs St., S. F., writes: "I
have for years had Uu'.l jc-lioii, I tried a popular
Sarsaparilla but it cctu-iii 1 nncil more pimples
to break out on my. (are. Hearing that Joy's was
a later preparation and acted differently, I tried
It end the pimples Immediately disappeared."
