Opinions of Some of Our
Citizens-Serious and
Otherwise.
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. I'm not saying anything against
Newtowns,Spitzenbergs or Jonathans.
They are all right. Mighty fine ap
ples, but I can take a whole lot ol
oomfort on a winter evening and 11
a neighbor or two happens to drop
in it's all the more pleasant with a
big dish of juioy Yellow Belleflners or
mellow Rambos. They are a little
old-faBhioned but bard to beat. Those
apples will go about fifteen boxes to
the tree. Tbe only trouble Is I have
only a few trees, and i can't begin to
supply tne demand."

A Knooker: "By gum, I guess I'll
have to leave thin town. There Isn't
a blame thing to do any more. I've
been in this oountry for nearly forty
years and it isn't no good. Look at
me. What have I made here? 1 was
here when there wasn't but four or
five houses in the whole valley round

crohards all atouad and a big town

but I know better. I never oouU get

Seeking California Port.
EUREKA, Calif., Sept. 29. 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

Death of Child Kills Orandmother.
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. Owing to
illness be has been unable to attend
to his duties at the hotel for several
