It is that of growing oulona. For tho past few years tho Industry baa been gradually creep lug into prominence and today, in one partloulur locality at loaat, it la ono of tho moat promlnoot aourcea of revenue. Tho lands near Eaglo Point and up Butte creek seem especially adapted to the growth of thia frsgranv (?) vegetable and tho farmers aro quite alive to the oondltiona which surround thorn and aro milking monoy. Tho advantage of this produotovor many others la that ao lltllo land la required. A. L. Basel- ton, of Eaglo Point, will hurvost this fall from 1 nores of ground not less than 100,000 pounds ol prlmo onions. Theso Mr. Haaolton line sold for l.l.r per hundred pounds. Tho market price, however, rnng09 from one to ono and a quarter oouts por pound. There aro many other extensive growers in that locality, among whom may be mentioned Irving Daley, whoee crop thia season Is estimated at 100,000 pounds; Royal Brown, with 12,000 pounds; Ell Dahaok, 10,000; Frank Lowls, 15,000; Jos.

While 11 Is quite true that Jackson County did not gut away with any of tlio prizes at tho stnto fair on county exhibits In bunoh lots, It Is Just as well truo that wo soured a ton pin stroke on Jersey stock, Mr. E. E. Core having taken first money on his celebrated Jersey bull, Tho ronton attributed for our not doing business with tho rest of tho counties on agricultural and horti cultural products was that our repre sentatives did not huye time to properly arrange thoir exhibits.

Some means ought to be adopted, either by tho olty or the railroad com pany, to do away with the necessity of Incoming pusaoogers from tho south bound trains being obliged to step off the cars into the mud of the street crotalng near the depot. The train atopi, almost Invariably, at a point where paaaengors alighting from the car or In gottlng aboard are compelled to wade in mud for about two rods. This could be obviated by putting down a plunk croaalng betweon the main line and the eaat side track, or the train oould bo pulled a car length further south before the atop Is made. This mud is not only dcucedly unpleasant to walk In but it tends not to the good of our town in the minds of strangers who visit ua, Oct a suit of good clothes at half price. The Rosenthal stock is belrg closed out. Tbo stock is a good one aud tho prices aro cut squarely In two in tlio middle. Merchant W. T.

He will make a nlco little cleau-up on his fruit this vear and ho is ontttled to a gO)d bltoforodlt for having had the nerve and enterprise to go Into the business even ihouirh his place ia some distance from the railroad. There is lots of good orchard land up Brownsboro way nnd It conld not be more profitably em ployed than In growing apples.
