J. O. McGee. residing over on
Williams creek, received a telegram
Friday conveying the sad news of the
death of his son, Andrew McGee,
whose home was a short distance from
Gazelle, Calif. A letter received early
this week tells that he was engaged in
hauling fence rails out or the moun
tains and when going down a particu
larly steep place the "lizzard!' upon
which the rails were piled, tipped over
in such a manner as to catch him un
der its great weight. He was crushed
to death almost instantly. Deceased
was a brother of Oliver McGee, of this
city.
The people of the Rogue river who
are being cradled in the lap of luxury,
fed from nature's land of plenty and
fanned by the soft breeze from green
clad mountains and fruit perfumed dale
know little, very little, of the struggle
to sustain life which is being experi
enced in other parts. Even in Oregon
there are places where nature has not
opened the doors of her granary of
abundance as wide as she might have
done. Mr. J. H. Ward, who has just
returned f i om Gilliam county, tells of
pretty tough times up that way. The
wheat crop was almost a failure owing
Bakin
Powder
to excessive dry and hot weather. The
average yield being about six bushels
or wheat'to the acre. This county, as
well as several others adjoining, is
sowed only to wheat fruit is foreign
to that section except along and near
some of the streams where water for
irrigating can be had. The thermom
eter registered 120 in the shade during
Mr. Ward's visit and at the time a
scorching hot east wind was blowing
it was then that the wheat crop was
ruined. During harvesting and t hresh
ing water for both stock and man in many
cases whs hauled eight miles. Flour
in that county is sold for $2.50 per hun
dred weight, dried fruit from seventeen
to twenty-five cents per pound and al
most everything in the line of provis
ions and clothing much higher than
here. The gentleman says he saw a
hat sell for $3 that he could have bought
in Medford for 90 cents. As a whole
the unfortunates of these counties are
having a pretty tough row to boo and
we who are so abundantly supplied
ought to be filled to overflowing with
gratitude that 'tis not us so afflicted.

Our people were hustled out of bed
again last Friday night by the alarm
of fire. . This time the fire was a little
further out and more serious than the
one spoken of last week. About eleven
o clock or the above data the barn, re
cently purchased from R. H. Halley
by G. W. Priddy and occupied by J.
Tressler, was discovered in dames and
before assistance could bo given the
fire was so well under way as to make
it impossible to save the building or
its contents, in the barn was a hue team
of horses, valued at $SoO, and a n-w set of
double harness all owned by .Mr. Tress
ler. These were burned together with
an adjoining barn owned by G. C. No
ble and in which were three tons of
hay. Mr. Noble was the first at the
fire and bis first move was to try and
get the horses out but upon entering
the stable he found the tire had already
reached the animals and the mane and
tail of one was then on fire. They were
pulling back in the baiters so heavily
as to make it impossible for him to un
tie them and as he had no knife with
which to cut the halters h ; was obliged
to leave them to burn with the build
ing. The fire was started in a pile of
hav in the wasron shed and like Dr.
vious fires was of incendiary origin.'
The hose company was out but the (ire
was beyond their reach. The loss is a I
heavy one to Mr. Tressler and is most I
keenly felt as he gained a livelihood I
for himself and family by team work ;
about town. A subscription paper is
being circulated about town to raise 1
funds to buy him a new team and is be- .
ing very liberally subscribed to. Could j

The very mysterious disapjearance
of Cbas. S. S:iermun, the sign writer
and painter, has occasioned no small
amount of street talk. On Tuesday,
Sept. 12lh, he left home telling bis
wife that he was going to Jacksonville
to do a few days work. As he had
neither returned nor sent any word to
his family Mrs. Sherman b -came a lit
tle uneasy and on the afternoon of tbe
following Friday she went over to
Jacksonville and learned that he
had not been there any time during
tbe week. She returned to Medford.
but has not as yet gained any clue as to
his whereabouts, lie was seen in Med
ford on the evening of the day he was
to have gone to Jacksonville and by
some is supposed to have taken the
midnight north bound freight for parts
unknown, while others hint at the pos
sibility of foul play. He left a few un
paid bills, but from the fuct that he
paid several small ones only a short
lime before be left is one of tbe points
held in defense of the foul play theory.
Whether he has either skipped or been
put out of the way is a matter which
ought to be investigated. If ho has
skipped he should be bunted up and
made to return and provide for his
family which he left in almost desti
tute circumstances. If he has been
foully dealt with then most assuredly
the matter ought to be investigated
and the guilty ones brought to justice.
The conductor of the north bound
freight on the night of Sept. 12th re
members that a man got on his train
at this place, but did not notice him in
particular and could give no descrip
tion of him. This fact bolsters up the
"skip" theory, while as he was known
to have bad some little money on bis
person the loul play possibility is
brought to mind. Sherman has lived
in Medford since early last spring and
was married a few weeks after coming
here. Mrs. Sherman has been inter
viewed by a MAIL reporter. The lady,
of course, is feeling very badly, but has
faith in her absent husband, and is of
the opinion that if he bas left the coun
try he did so when under the effects of
liquor and - that when he has fully
awakened to a realizing sense of the
situation he will either write to her or
return. Sherman, whili not an habit
ual drinker, has been indulging quite
freely of late.

It Pays to Grow Onions.
From Florence (Or.,)Wet.
Frank Boltel, of Brooks, has seven
acres planted to onions tbis year and
from present indications he expects to
harvest at least 5000 bushels. Otiions
weigh 57 pounds to the bushel, and
this would make the yield for the seven
acres 285,000 pounds, or about 40,714
pounds to the acre. Those onions will
no doubt bring three cents per pound
by th time they are ready to bo
marketed, thus making the return for
the seven acres net the sum of $8,550,
or $1,221.41 per acre in roud numbers.

A Letter From Cherokee-
The following short but very inter
esting letter bas b-en received from E.
E. Squirws, the gentleman who left
Medford a few weeks ago to join the
great throng of people there gathering
to enter upot, the Cherokee Strip which
was thrown open to settlement last
Saturday. The letter was written at
Hunnewell, Kansas, Sept. 14,and reads
like this:
Editor of Medford Mail: Dear sir.
As per your request I will try and give
you a few facta concerning tbe Chero
kee Strip. You must excuse lead pen
cil and poor writing for a lead pencil
is the best pen this country affords and
a bale of hay is the best writing desk.
Notwithstanding the dust and hot
winds, thousands or people arrive daily.
There are already more than enough
peoplo registered to occupy all the
land in the strip and hero at Hunnewell
fully four thousand are in line wailing
their turn to register. About two
hours of this day would kill the aver
age Oregonian. The wind is so hot
that a wet cloth has to be held before
ones face to keep from blistering, and
the wind blows about forty miles per
hour carrying with it great clouds of
hot sand and dust which at times are
so thick as to hide the sun from view.
The white man, half breed and African
are all one, so far as color is concerned.
The worst feature, or one of the worst,
however, is the scarcity of water. Ev
ery drop of water has to be paid for,
and cannot always bo had then. The
excitement rivals any mining camp,
and the society would average pretty
well with any frontier camp. Men car
ry guns strapped on them and twenty
four hours does not pass without some
one "biting the dust." fickpockets
and thieves are on the trail. One caee
of horse stealing is also on the docket,
but instead of going to the pen the
thief should be sent to tho asylum, for
horses are so cheap a man must be
crazy that vill undertake to make a
start in life in that enterprise. The
excitement has only bogun will bo at
its heat about Saturday. If something
is not dono to prevent the mad rush
that will be mode it is sure to end in
disaster to some. Will let you know
further concerning the opening in due
time. Yours respectfully,
E. E. SQUIRES.

Tbe Cause of Cheap Wheat.
Written tor The Mxii.
Our advice to farmers to hold their
wheat for a while, is, we think, good
and timely. The price of wheat has
been reduced to its present low figure
by several causes, some of the most
potent ol which, are, beyond doubt,
temporary. The financial disturbance
in the country is one of these. The
lack of currency has prevented the
moving of grain and has consequently
reduced prices in the west, as soon.
however, as tbe prices of wheat re
