Mining Journal:
News reaohoi us of a most remark
able enoountor with a big brown bear
weighing 250 pounds by a boy of fif
teen on January 23d, and his name
is Ralph Fox, He lives at the Argo
mine on Rogue River Ualioe Mining
Districts. The particulars of the re
markable encounter are as follows :
The young iad was alone in the
blacksmith shop of the mine, work
lug, when in walked tbo big brown
bear without a word of announcement
and hunohed on his back legs near
the door. It was impossible for the
boy to escape, and of oourse he was
very muob frightened, as he had no
gun or weapon of defense, in tne
exoltement be threw a drill at tne
bear, who simply warded It off and
tben made for the lad, who in his des
perate effort ploked up a four pound
sledge and struok tbe bear a hard blow
on the top of'the bead, whloh dazed
tbe ugly customer long enough for
him to get several other good blows
on bis bead. When the men arrived
they found the boy straddling tbe
bear and trying to cut bis head off.
This story is vouched for by Ed.
Cassldy, Q. W. Klrkly and F. J,
Brinkerboff, who were at the mine
and saw tbe bear. To us this is one
of the most remarkable oases of boy
heroes we know of and probably could
never be repeated, but the boy had
been raised in the state of Washing
ton and had been in tne bills for
game. He surely showed lots of
pluck and fight and suooeeded.

"Last full I wrote you about coming

bought back iu the store and since
then have worked in the store. My
family Is atnyiug in your town, for tbo

What do you think of Butte Falls?
1 see by The Mail that they have

bo a town right away. How far is it
from Eagle Point? Is the new rail
road heading for that point? If so it
ought to be a ntoo little town in the

gets to zero aud 25 below, it makes
me wish I was out in the west, but

Played Good Ball.
In telling of tne basket ball same
played at Roseburg last week between
the Rosebuig and Medford teams, the
Review of that oity has this to say.
Skill (or luok) In throwing baskets
triumphed heavily over faster playing
and superior team work at tne Rose
burg theatre Tuesday night, when the
local high sohool rive defeated the
Medford team at basket ball by a score
of 31 to 16. The game throughout
was ohaiaoterlzed by roughness and
blokorlna, aid fouls were numerous.
A good-sized orowd was present.
Twenty-niinate halves were played.
At tbe end of tbe first half the score
stood 13 to 10 in favor of the locals.
In the second half tbe looals scored
for a total of eighteen points and
tbe latter three for a total of six.
Out of Medford's pretty team work
Miles and Rotberinal shone as stars.
Miles, by the way, is beyond doubt
the fastest and beadiest basket ball
player that ever delighted a Roseburg
a-idienoe; but like fits team mates,
borse-Bhoes were absent in bis tosslngs
(or baskets. In the first half Rother
mal threw two baskets in succession
in less than one-balf minute of play
ing. This feat was eclipsed In tbe sec
ond half by King, wbo repeated the
performance in about ten seoouds of
time.
RoBeDurg's playing was of strlotly
Individual cbaraoter, but luck was
with them. In the second half they
kept the ball nearly always in Med
ford's territory, and seemed that
every time a local tossed tor a basket,
no matter now dimouit tne position,
he scored.

Although the problem of making the

Oregon is one which iequireB careful
study we notice that most of the farm
ers who are more successful than the

nd believe it pays them to do so.
