J. T. Pry, Griffin creek: "My prane
orop is all right this year, suro. 1 fig
ured on getting about 3500 pounds, but
I find now that I am packing thorn
that I will have over 4500 pounds. Mr.
MoPhorson's crop Is also turning out
much better than he expected."
C. W.' Wolters: "Say, but you are
putting on all kinds of style In your
new office. Well, let mo tell you, It is
the best print shop I ever saw in a
town the size of Modford. - Why, it's so
light and roomy. I would like to sell
groceries in a building the slxo anil
shape of tbis one. The Mail is all
right."
H. M. Coss: "I bad a good trip east
ot the mountains. At Klamath Fails 1
sold Banker Martin a fine 750 Chlcker
ing piano and started several other
good sales. That's a good country
over there and the people as a rule, I
think, buy a good grade of musical
Instruments. I was over at Bonanza
also and put several good deals under
way."
Ed. Van Dyko, or tho firm of J. G.
Van Dyke & Co.: "Our hulnc?s has
increased forty per cent during the
past twelve months, Yes, we are satis
fied with that, but of course we are
hoping for a continuance ot the busi
ness and a greater increase. It that
ditch goes all business will profit ma
terially, but whether It goes or not we
will still do business at tbe old stund."
Joho Norris : "Isn't that, a whale of
a stove? It is one built especially for
restaurant cooking and has been sold
to Mrs. Anderson for use in bor Star
restaurant. That's a stationary coffee
boiler on top there. A warmer goes on
back here an immense affair and
then there are a whole lot of other fix
ings that fasten on around in various
places. No, she won't have to set it up
out doors, although it Is pretty good
sized for an ordinary kitchen."
A Citizen: "I bear a great many
business men complaining of the con
dition of the gutters on Seventh street.
Why do they do so rouoli kicking on
the street? Wby don't they go to tbe
elty council with their grievances, and
if that body does not givo the mutter
any attention then they should make
complaint to the city recorder that the
gutters are a nuisance, swear out a
complaint against tho offending party,
or parties, and let the raarshul and re
corder do business with them. If the
conditions of the gutters are a nuisance
and a menace to the well being ot the
community, the sooner tome action is
taken the better it will be for the health
of all."
Kev. A. S. Foster, by letter from
Knappa, Oregon: "All well up here.
We like our new home very much and
I like my field of labor. Thore Is much
more rain here than In Southern Ore
gon, but tbo past three months huvo
been very fine not too warm never
so warm as at Medford. You will be
interested, and others, perhaps, in
knowing that Miss Mnysle has just
been elected to a position as teacher in
the public sohools at Astoria, und com-j
menced work October 1st. She com-j
menced on a salary of 15 per month,
and has a nine months' term. As oria
claims eight to ton thousand pollu
tion and has fine public schools, with
high schools, and employs thirty-throe
loncliors. Wo are glad to havo Mnyslo
so near ub only thirteen miles. Tub
Mail comes reeularly and we enjoy
rcmling it very much. We all wish
you well In all things."
F. V. Modynski: "Dawson is the
best oity In the now north west. It has
now gotten down to a good, solid business-like
basis and is all right. Nomo
was over estimated and consequently wa
over-crowded. When I was In St Mich
aels last, tbe last ot August, tbe captain
of an ocean vessel told mc that over 40C0
applications had been made him at
Nome by destitute people for free trans
portation from there to Soattlu, and that
of this number fully 200 wore women.
He told me he was positive that at least
10,000 people would have to bo taken
iwny from there by tbe government or
'.hey would starve during tho winter.
1 left Dawson City on September 2.5th.
We wore to have tied up at St. Miohaols
but the river was running protty low
and we were afraid to tackle tbo dorn
trip. Yes I shall return In tho spring.
It's as good a thing as I want. I didn't
see Carder, from this place, but I heard
from him several times during the sum
mer. He is at work in a mine a few
miles from Dawson. Goorgo Love, of
Jacksonville, Is at Ft. Gibbon, wbore
he is looking after 150 head ot beef cat
tle, which bo and Will Bunlny drove
in. Those I understand will be, or are
already, sold to the government for the
soldiers at tho foiV : They -jrill proba
bly get seventy-five Cento a pound for
them. They will leed tho slock on the
wild timothy grass that grows there
until cold weather sets In when they
will bo killed and the meat frozen for
winter ub. There aro about 170 sol
diers at the fort now but moro are ex
pected. I understand that they have
cattle at other places along tho r Iver.
There are now twenty bonts running
between Dawson and White Horse Rap
ids but these are unablo to handle the
business. Eighty miles of railroad
track was laid this summer, making
120 miles of track in all from Skagway.
I will tell you more of the oountry one
of these days, but lot me tell you now
that it's all right if you go at it tbe
right way."
