' A word of warning might be in
place to those who go hunting and fish
ing during the dry season.' The woods
are full of decayed matter that is astlry
as powder and will burn as readily,
and the dropping of a lighted match or
the neglect of a camp tire might give
birth to a forest fire that would not
only destroy thousands of dollars worth
of property, but would endanger and
8-HCrifice,life as well. " There is a heavy
penalty attached, and persons' identi
fied as being responsible can be severe
ly punished. . -

Ashland Is to Join the Circuit.
The Rogue River Valley Telephone
company has decided to extend its line
to Asblaud, taking in latent and f hoe-
nix ou tho way. This is a continuation
of tho line which now connects Medford
with Jacksonville, which is proving it
self such a great convenience to the
people at both ends of the line. The
work of digging Holes for polos was
commenced Tuesday morning, and in
side of four weeks it is expected the
lino will be completed and in good
working order. . An instrument will be
put in at Phoenix and another at Tal
ent, at tho ia.ter place to ue in tho
store of Barkloy & Son; at Ashland the
instrument will be in th Barrett drug
store. The charges for a message will
be twentv-tlvo cents for a five minutes"
talk with parties at any ouo point on
tli line.
These telephone connections are
surely going to prove of great value to
the cities aud towns of the valley and
too much credit cannot be given these
citizens who have a spirit of enterprise
sufUeier.tly developed to warrant this
outlay of money by which the connec
tinns'are made and we all ought to turn
in. and give the company n boost when
ever occasion oflers. To Mr. Kerr, the
gentleman who is putting in the line
for the company, ought us well to bo
extended a goodly an.ount of credit for
his persistent elTorU to make the prop
osition a thing, of material substance.

A Positive Cash System.
Having had ten years' experience In
tho hardware business, I have arrived
at the conclusion that a cash basis is
the system upon which to do business
both to tho interest of customers and
merchants. Tho primary and best
reason for adopting the cash system is
that in buying goods from wholesale
houses it enables the merchant to get
a discount on bis goods when purchased
whioh he could not get if 'bought on
credit. No matter how good a mer
chant's credit is, there is always a pre
mium on cash.. I propose to buy strictly
Tor cash, and proposo further to givo
my customers tho benefit of the- dis
count thus received.
Hoping that I may still retain your
trade and that the new system will
prove beneficial to both customers and
niysoii, I am, . '
