ROGUE RIVER VALLEY.
A Description of It's Soil, Climate

tisiting itf.and even then a hasty
tour, although instructive, is apt to
be misleading in many...particulars
unless accompanied by close obser
ration and the most diligent inquiry
In topography, climate, water, soil
and products it has its own peculiar
character.
Climate Possibly no subject can
interest the home-seeker more than
that of climate, If such be the case,
no section will bear the scrutiny of
close observation or scientific in
vestigation and give so favorable
results as Jackson county. In its
climate this delightful region has
combined advantages of other sec
uons, without the accompanying
drawbacks. . it enjoys the warmth
of summer and the frosts of, winter
without extremes-of either; 'Hav
ing rainfall ample for , all purposes.
feou 1 he diversity of soils and
the admixture of the elements, com
posing one class of soil with those
of another grade renders it exceed
ingly difficult to describe. The
soil of all sections of" this ' country
seems to be adapted to the climate
or the climate to the soil. To clas
sify as nearly as possible, consist
ent with brevity, we have bottom,
prairie, adobe, granite aud a sand
and clay soils. These soils are all
good for special crops adapted to
the nature of the soil.
Products The same wide-spread
variety' of soils manifest itself in
the products. Take for instaace,
any of the valley farms and on
them you may grow, with a reason
able amount of industry, all that is
necessary for the support of man or
beast, including fruit from the semi
tropical to the most hardy varieties.
The mildness of the climate and
the absence of any prevailing dis
ease among stock makes this an
inviting field for stock raisers.
Some of the best stock ever grown
on the facihe coast was the-product
of this country.
The success attending fruit cul
ture is no longer an exoeriment.
This country is fast becoming noted
in eastern and foreign markets for
its fine fruits, especially apples and
pears. Ample shipping facilities
give to Southern Oregon fruit grow
ing a most inviting held for prof
itable industry, which bids fair in
the near future, to- excel in com
mercial importance any one if not
all others of her commercial inter
ests.
The principal game consists of
black tail deer, brown bear, black
bear, grizzly bear, otter, martin.
jack rabbits, two varieties of qua?!.
pheasants, grouse, wild goene and
wild ducks. An abundance of fish
is found in all the principal streams
comprising salmon, salmon trout,
speckled trout, mo.untain trout and
other varieties of fresh water fish.
Price's of land Some fine im
proved farms, from three to four
miles from Medford, can be had
for from $20 to $30 per acre and
from $1000 to $1500 will buy a

The Army Departed.
The Grants Pass Courier, in re
cording the final movements of the
God's Regular Army brigade in
that city says that Win, Purdey
left on the 7th for Conyonville and
Roseburg. . Continuing it says:
"He went by team and took his
wife, two daughters and young
Chas. Winders and wife along.
Alonzo Nutt drove the team and
they had the big tent with them.
Two of the general's daughters are
left with friends in this city.
."Mr. Purdey seems to be supremo
head as well as body of an indepen
dent ofl-shoot of the Salvation
Army. This withdrawal took place
at Sacramento last year and he has
since been making his way. north
tot several weeks he managed to
maintain corps of Bub armies at
Roseburg, Ashland : and 'Albany
but be was unfortunate in selecting
his officers and people get tired .of
being bilked, so they quit support
ing them. Purdey has lots of energy
and is a great foe to the saloon, but
he has a rather "rocky" time of it
trying to fight without backing and
against the. opposition , of the
churches whom he appears to . sue
ceeu in antagonizing as he goes
along. His career in Grants Pass
extended over a period of eight
months and they were eventful
ones to him. He lost his wife bv
chloroform asphyxiation, whether
by accident or design is a question;
he has been m the "cooler for pa
rading the streets with drum and
flag; he sent one of his best sol
diers to the penitentiary for two
years and he married a young girl
of eighteen some four months after
becoming a widower. What will
become of him it is hard to tell.
Not so Funny After all.
A juggler did a trick the other
day iu New York that caused a
man to imagine himself a murderer.
and almost sent him to the insane
asylum. "I can throw this carving
knife to the ceiling," be said, "and
let it descend point formost toward
the head of my son, this boy of 10.
Of course I must catch it before it
splits his head open. - There are
five of you all strong men., When
I throw the knife upward, try to
hold me; prevent me from catch
ing it before it strikes the boy. You
cannot , do it The five are not
strong enough." They agreed to
try. Up went the knife, and as it
started down, the point of the knife
aiming straight at the boy's head,
they caught him. "Make way!
Make way I My God 1" he cried .
Four of them sprang away, hor
rified. The fifth retained his bold
You shan't fool me," he exclaimed,
staying the outstretched arm. "Oh,
Lord! My boy!" the father groaned.
There was a cutting sound, then a
thump, as of a knife burying itself
to the handle in flesh and blood.
The juggler sank to the floor and
the man who held him back faint
ed. When he came to, he raved
ike a maniac, and could not be
made rational till it was explained
that the knife was a corn stock
affair, which could not harm a fly,
much less a boy, who stood beside
him laughing. It is worth going a
ong distance to avoid seeing any
thing as painfully funny as that.
Fruit Growing Last.
The comparative importance of
some of Oregon's industries in the
udgment of the State Board of
Agriculture may be inferred from
the fact that the premiums offered
for the coming state fair for mil-
inerv, artistic needle work.

those offered for oil paintings and
other works of art, $321.50; those

We Want a Boy.
This, Mr. I'A., you will see, if
you have proper understanding of
our grammar, is a simple declara
tive sentence. Third person, sin
gular spoken of; boy, masculine,
because we are speaking cf no one
else. The mood will be only con
jectural on your part common
case, we will admit though with
us just now it is objective; but let
ine cnution you. We want a boy
big enough to do chores right now
not only milk, but feed the hens
and horses, ick up potatoes, slop
the pigs, chop a little wo id, bring
in the wood and water, make fires
and in spare moments hoe the
garden, etc., etc. one who can
plow and sow and hoe my row
and be a useful boy. We had a
boy, a good boy, too, but we could
nut keep him. We did most every
thing to try to please him, but we
failed. We used to get up at 4 a.
m. feed, groom and harness the
horses, pail the cows, feed the hons,
slop the pigs, then come in and cat
our breakfast off of tho kitchen
table, go out and hoe dogfennel
awhile, , then about 8 a. m. we
would come in quietly and silentiv
go up to his suite and gently tap for
him to dress for breakfast. Some
times we would in an ungarded
moment speak rather loud and
awaken him too suddenly, altht ugh
we did never intend to be harsh; in
fact, there is nothing of the kind
in our nature, except, it may.be
we have a harsh cough, resultant
from going in swimming when we
were a mere : boy, but as I
was saying when we would
awaken him too suddenly he would
start in to a sitting posture and for
a few moments stare in bewilder
ment then with one foot resting on
the tiger skin on the floor he would
sit for some forty or fifty minutes
seeming in deep meditation as
much as to say "I wonder what I
had better have the old gent work
at today?'' Then whiie he, was
breaking his somewhat prolonged
fast, I would ask, "What shall I
do today?" "Are the horses fed
and harnessed?.' "Yes sir," , says
I. ' "Then, hitch them on to the
democrat. I will drive to the
village and you may cut "a little
wood until I return." ' I often
mildly remonstrated, pleading for
him to consider my years, my
gray hairs what few I had and
my decrepid generality but to no
purpose. The other evening after
I had my chores all done I asked
if I could go and hunt jack rabits
a little while (3 p. m.) aud he got
in a passion and left me. This is
why I advertise now. This time
we want a different kind one who
is not too nervous we want a boy
we can call with a club at 4 a. m.
and who can rise under the circum
stances with a whistle on his lips
and a smile in his eye, who can
pail six cows, feed the stock, slop
the pigs and hoe a couplo of hours
before breakfast and come in sing
ing "Sure I've nothing at all to do."
So,Mr.Ed.,if you see any such bovs
let us hear from you at once. We
want a boy not too smart mind
you one is enough in a family
but an industrious boy is not
bad, one who can take sass and
not return it; one who can do
almost a man's work, will be glad
to get a small boy's salary. I
would suggest that some nice
widow's boy, (no, see I have the
objective case in the ' wrong
place again) I mean some widow
mav have a nice boy that would
suit I am prone to incline about
90 degrees in that direction any
wav then I have a desire to walk
uprightly before all such, well know-
ing that though my tailings are
many to some , one I shall be
whiter than snow."

A DEADLY TRAP.
Catching a Thief with n Pocket Lined
with Fishhooks.
They'were discussing the best way to
bring a prisoner from the place of his
arrest to headquarters at the central of
fice not long ago, says the New York
Times, and the collar, cuff, and arm
grips were instanced as manual expedi
ents, and handcuffs, nippers and pocket
bludgeon thongs as mechanical aids.-
"I know," said a detective who had
been to Europe and pssscd some time in
the society of London detectives, "how
a pickpocket was once arrested with
out his captor seeing his prisoner's face
before he got to the lockup, and with
out an3'one putting a hand on him. It
happened this way: A detective who
was often detailed to gatherings, wed
dings, the houses of parliament, West
minster abbey, and other public places,
often ran across a wiry little man who
he discovered had no business where ho
was seen, and did nothing for a living.
"Coincidental with the man's visits to
crowded places were complaints of lar
cenies of articles that were carried in
the pockets of tails of coats, and espe
cially silk handkerchiefs. The detectives
suspected the little wiry man, but he ev
idently had more, than one confederate
to pass what . was stolen so as to be
'clean for the officer who was watch
ing him, and who was nettled at re
proof from his "superiors' for his negli
gence in not 'discovering the pickpock
et, had him arrested twice by other of
ficers and 'shaken down' without find
ing any stolen goods in his pussession.
"Strange ofiieors were used to make
the arrests in order that the suspected
man might not become familiar with
tho principal detective's face, as he de
termined to get him 'by hook or bv
crook.' Now I don't mean this for a
pun, but it came out that way. The de
tective belonged to one of the many
fishing clubs that abound in London,
and was familiar with tackle.
"Procuring four dozen nnsnelled
hooks of the size and strength used here
for blackfish, some flax thread and a
needle, he passed an afternoon in turn
ing the tail-pockets of an old-fashioned
frock coat into a thief-trap. The hooks
were ringed and with the needle were
sewed bent out just inside the pocket,
permitting & hand to enter, but prevent
ing iu withdrawal. lie knew of a book
sale that would be largely attended at
the east end of the Strand and made up
carefully for it, so that when he left
home he was a pleasant-faced old gobe
mottche. ..'
" "At the book aale he took care to be
as vacuous and unmindful of his sur
roundings as possible, but noted the
presence of the suspect and waited
calmly for a bite. It came. There was
a tug at his coat and a bitter oath, and
he knew that his man's hand was seized
by the hooks, and that he would not
venture to risk the agony that tearing
away forcibly would inflict. So he said
quietly: 'If you follow me our surgeon
will relieve you,' and attempted to walk
to Scotland Yard, half a mile away, the
trapped thief following with , h6 hand
in the detective's pocket.
"But such large crowd gathered that;
the detective 'had to take a cab and be
landed the man safely in the detective's
office. He was held by tour of the hooka
and the barbs had to be cut off before
they were extracted. The thief con
fessed and went to prison- for a abort
term, bnt the Scotland Yard authorities
frowned on the detective's method and
prohibited any further experiments of
the sort for fear the newspapers would
denounce the expedient' as cruel. But
a deadlier trap could not be baited for a
'clyfaker."'
Ills Little Mistake.
A young farmer who had great con
ceit, little discretion and scarcely
any education presented himself at a
Presbyterian - conference and , said he
wished to be ordained as a preacher.
"I aiu't had any great learuin'," he
said, frankly, "but I reckon I'm called
to preach. I've hod a vision three
bights runnin; that's why I'm here."
"What was your vision?n inquired one
of the elders. "Well." said the young
man. "I dreamt I see a bi?r. round rinir
in the sky. and in the middle of it was
,. l T IrnAin 4 1. n
meant
Presbyterian conference, and
here I am." There was an uncomforta
ble pause, which was broken by an
elder who knew the young man and
was well acquainted with the poverty
of his family and the neglected condi
tion of the farm in which his father had
taken such pride. "I havent any gift
at reading visions." said the old man,
gravely, "but I'd like to put it to my
young friend whether he di-esn"l think
it's possible those two letters may have
stood for 'Plant corn?"' Fortunately
this version was accepted by the appli
cant. Solidifies l uder Heat.
A German chemist has made the dis
covery of a new compound body which
is said to possess the peculiar quality of
solidifying1 under the action of heat
and again to revert to the liquid state ;
at a temperature below thirty-two de- j
grees Fahrenheit. To this substance j
the name of "crostase" has been given '
and it is stated to be obtained by mix-
ing equal parts of phenol, camphor and i
: ...: l. a, . m ,, I
aopuiiuc ii.li tiic uuuiiiuu ui a smaller
proportion of the essence of treben
thine. It is supposed that up to the
present time no body possesses this re
markable property of liquefying when
cold and solidifying when hot. Certain
substances, such as albumen, harden
when exposed to the heat, but once
they have attained this condition they
cannot be made to resume the liquid
state, although they may be subjected
to exceedingly low temperatures. N
