Volney uixoui "I returned Tues day Irom a trip over into tbe Illinois and Applegate valleys. There are some fine larma over that way and tbe only one thing whloh is wanting to make them ideal in every respect ie more of Page's woven wire fenoe. I went over there ; expressly to sell that kind of fenoe andjl sold a good ly amount of it. Ae soon aa people learn of its value I will sell more of it. I have now made an initial visit to all ol onr territory Jaokson, Jose pnlne ana Klamath oonntiea and the next visit I make I will know the needs of the country and expeot to make many more sales than 1 have this season. " F. M. Stewart: "That nephew ol mine, A. I Patton, ol Colorado, Springs, left Tuesday. He is very fa vorably Impressed with this'valley and I am almost positive he and bis fam ily will locate here. I look him out to some ol our orchards ; showed him Jacksonville and Eagle Point, and gave him one good day's fishing In Rogue river. For my part 1 don't see how anyone could do anything else than like this uountry. I have said it a number of times and will repeat it this is tbe best all round, all pur- poae oountry that was ever put out of doors. It is a pleasure to say these things, knowing ae one does, that the oountry will make good on any asser tlon made." J. U Pendleton : "No, th-e era none of your new-fangled apples, but they are good, just tbe same. They are of the kind peop'e raised when they grew apples to eat rather than to sell.

Infor mation that has been gleaned at Eu reka from persons who have been making a reconnaisance of the Klam ath river route, it is pretty well as sured that the Hill lines propose to enter California Irom the north by an easy pass to the ooast and thence on to San Francisoo bay throngh the timber region of Western California. It is asonrtained that parties have been engaged for some time lu mak ing a prelltrinary examination of the Klamath river canyon in Siskiyou and Humboldt uounties, understood to be working in the interest ot the Weyer hauser Timber Company. In this connection it Is stated that the entranoe of tbe Weyerbauser Co. into Northern California and North ern Oregon nearly a year ago, by pur chase of the Klamath Lake Railroad and the large bodies of timber on the Jenny oreek plateau, was not altogeth er for the purpose of future lumber operations, but closely allied with tbe Interest of the Hill lines in seourlng practicable route into California that will at the same time tap rich traffic territory, One of the incen tlves to early entranoe Into Northern California 1b Bald to be the assured heavy trafflo of tbe Klamath region and the heavy shipments of soft pine timber that oan be olaimed from that section both for the local demand of states to the east and for export by the Hill steamsnip lines. Recognizing that the Harriman lines was to lose no time in complet ing new railroad mileage that will give It for a time absolute control of the freight originating in an empire ot territory, with outlets to the sea at both Portland and Coos Bay, the Hill lines propose to form a connection with the ooean at the northern port of California, whioh is muoh nearer to the Oregon ana uamornia oountry east of tne mountains. some peaohea of the Golden Cling va riety that are hard to beat, L.

Portland Telegram: Andrew Beakey, aged two, and Mra, Elizabeth Beakey, his grgandmother, aged seventy-eight, are dead at the home of James W. Beakey, East Thir ty-first and Fremont streets aa the result of a double tragedy late yester day afternoon, Little Andrew was crushed to death beneath a falling barn door while playing with bis el. der brother. His grandmother, at tracted by the brother's screams for aid, rushed from the house, rescued little Andrew from nnder the door, carried him into a bedroom, went out into tbe hall and lying down upon a louuge with one hand under her head, died. The oause of tbe child's death was fraoture of the skull, and that of tbe grandmutner, heart failure, due to tbe shock ot the accident, says Dr. Calvin S. White, who was summoned shortly after the tragedy ooourred. At first it wsb believed that Mrs, Beakey had fainted, and it waB realized that death had resulted from the shook. Andrew lived for about an hour after being aarricd into the house, but never re gained consciousness. The dead child was playing witb his brother in tbe barn when the aooident ooourred. The elder brother was pushing a rolling barn door at the oarriage entranoe, when the pulleys bounded from tbe traok and the heavy door fell upon Andrew, orushing his skull. Mrs, Beakey, the grandmother, reaohed the spot a moment later. The rescue waa her last effort. James W. Beakey, father of the cnild and son of the grandmother, employed as steward at the Portland Hotel. He was for several years stew- ard at the Arlington Club.
