The raise of watqr, in Beai creek last week promised some trouble at the Seventh street bridge, but by prompt a nd effectual work by our councllmen the apprehension of the second .destruc tion of this valuable piece of wood work waj averted, prft wood had formed Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report ABSOLUTELY PURE about the piling at the east side, which, however, was removed before any dam age was done, but the channel of the river has changed to that side and sev eral of the piles were washed loose at the bottom, and ; in other places the tops ofthe piling were driven several inches" out of position.

Drum, Table Rock. Beek. Whiteside & Co. will sell at cost, two wagons and one cart. To fully substantiate tbe fact that Rotrue river farmers are making a good thing this year by growing hogs let us cite this: Last Monday Jack Anderson drove sixty-six hogs to Med ford which in weight averaged 301 pounds each. These were sold to the Southern Oregon Packing Company at 5i cents per pound and Mr. Anderson went home with over one thousand dollars in his inside pockt as a result of the sale. How does this compare with forty-cent wheat? Let us cite another instance: S. A. Carlton brought in fifty-six hogs from his An telope ranch last week which averaged 12 pounds each and which were sold at oi cents per pound. Reserved seats for "A Story of a Kiss," on sale at Wolter's grocery. The name of Jos. Farren Is one which is almost as familiar to the early settlers as their own. He is a gentleman eighty-four years of age, but his years have not lessened to any great extent his cleverness and ability as a hunter. He is living, all by himself, over on Briggs' creek, and has so lived for sev eral years. While his years are past the three score and ten notch, he is still death to cousrers. It was only . a week or so ago that while out hunting for bear that his dogs came across the trail of a couger. The animal ran quite closo' to Mr. Farren, and he only having one load of amunition left and prefering to save it for more palatable game, reached to the ground and picked up a good sized rock which he hurled at the couger as it passed him His aim was true and efiecient. The couger was stunned for an instant by the rock and no nooncr had it struck than did the old gentleman draw his hunting knife from its sheath' and spring upon the beast and in another second its throat was cut and a monster couger, seven feet in length, lay dying upon tho ground. The acquaintance of a couger is anything but an agreea ble one to make under the most favora ble circumstances to;the average hunter but Mr. Farren has slain so many of them as to make his meeting with them a pleasant pastime, not so, however, with the couger.

J. R. Wilson: "That was a very in teresting dog story you published on the last page of last week's Mail." The Mail Office Devil: "What was I thankful for? Oh, I was thankful that still lived doubly so when I sat down and thought how many there were who were not so fortunate." D. S.Youngs? "Here is a bear story for you. E. C. Kane, the station agent, wai down from Ashland Monday, and he tolls me that Clint. Coleman was over, on Wagner crocs sunany anu killed the biggest black boar ever killed in this locality. I didn't get its weight, but frein what Kane told me I should guess it weighed a ton, more or less." Dr. H. Voegell, of Trail creek: "As I was driving to Medford this Monday morning I was asked by a dozen or more people if it was a fact that the Rogue river bridge .had been taken away? The report as current herea bouts is a mistake. The bridge is still there as also are the approaches. I crossed it and figure I ought to know. I might have crossed in spirit and on horseback, but if I did I met another spirit on the bridge and he was on horseback, too. Yes, it is a long way to come to do trading, but I can save money by coming' here. Everybody likes your paper up my way, and I am doing missionary work for yotk" Ham Wolters: "Look at this, will your L was out at me weensaurr fruit ranch last week, and here Is a sample of their dried fruit. Those are prunes. They are beauties and no dodging the fact. These gentlemen have over 40,000-pounds of prunes and this great pile of such delicious fruit is a beauty to look upon. Tho varieties of prunes which they bavo dried are petite, rlneclod, Italian and golden egg. Aside irom me prunes mey nave a goodly amount of dried bartlett pears and pealed peaches and apples? yes, I was just going to mention that they had plenty of dried apples sliced and as wnito as snow? Tho fellows who were talking discouraglngly to these gentlemen a few years ago are now kicking at the price of wheat while neeics&urr, me orcnanusu, are ne gotiating for tbe sale of 40,000 pounds of prunes at a price not less than seven cents per pound. This is a destination that has a difference." No better preparation for the hair has ever been invented than Ayer's Hair Vigor. It restores the original color to faded and gray hair, and im parts that natural gloss and freshness everyone so much admires. Its reputa tion is world-wide. He Has Probably Changed His Mind. From the Rural Northwest. The Medford Mail reports thnt Mr. J. H. btewart, tho well-known "over production" orchardist of that place has this year harvested and shipped about 15 carloads of pears and has also grown 14 carloads of apples. There hasn't been any appreciable lack of de mand lor tbe kind of fiUtt which Mr. Stewart places upon the market. No person ought to object to a good natured poke at his tender spot when It is rounded off so cleverly as is the above. We will venture tho assertion that by this time even Mr. Stewart has his doubts as to the possibility of an overproduction in fruit. So long as our fruit is kept at the standard it has already attained, every acre of ground In the Rogue river valley may be planted and yet there will be no over production. . Our orohardists need bave little fear of a decline in demand so long as their already established good reputation is maintained. II you want goods at bottom cash prices go to Cranfiil & Hutchison, the finest decorated store in town. They have no old shelf worn goods to work off on their patrons.
