Nalley, of Derby, this county, was in Medford last week, upon buslnesB and to visit her par ents, Mr. and Mrs. Pointer. Mrs. Nalley, with her husoand, live upon a homestead on the unsnrveyed por tion of township 31 Bonth, range 2 east, in the Butte oreek country. The distance between their land and Med ford is about thirty-fire miles. They have no horses, in faot there are no horses in that neighborhood, and as - none oould bo seotired with whioh to make the trip to Medford, Mrs. Nalley very courageously started out on foot. She started early one morning and by nightfall of the same day she had reached the Gregory plaoe, on the edge of the desert, having traveled thirty miles that day, Seven miles of the distanoe the snow was ten inohes deep. The next morning she walked into Medford and on Saturday started out on foot, for the return trip,. v It requires pure, genuine grit to under take a trip like that and when under taken it must surely have required a good bunch of enduranoo to have car ried out the undertaking. While in The Mail office Mrs. Nalley told of some of the work her husband' and herself have done sinoe going onto their olaim, last summer. They nave built a 16x21 foot chinked log house, have built to this a sevon-foot porch on three sides, built a 12x11 foot wood sbed of split lumber, huilt a 11x16 foot chicken house and will have forty aores of the land under fence by spring. The celling and flooring used in the house was split from sugar pine logs and then planed. They have two nearby neighbors, Mr, Spenoer, wife and ohild, and Mr. Smoot, who is a bachelor, all on unsurveyed land. About forty inohes of snow have fallen there this winter. Mr. Nalley has killed a bob oat, whioh measured six feet and eight inoheB and Mr. Smoot a lynx, whioh measured six feet and ten inohes. - Blue prints ot township maps showing all vacant land, fifty cents each.
