Mr. and Mrs. William Knighton came over from Eagle Point Deco ration day and called on their old friends, Mr. and Mrs. C. Carey. Dr. Frank Hoberts went to Port land the first of the week to go be fore the Mate board of examiners to secure permission to practice den tistry. Rev. Mr. Hoxle assisted in the pro hibition rally held at the Presby terian church last Sunday evening. Quite an Interested and attentive au dience was present. The long-continued cold weather is doing more damage to the melon crop than has even been known In the valley before. The Tines die al as soon as they come up. The Ladles' Aid society served din ner and supper at Woodman hall on election day, and did quite well fin ancially. The proceeds went toward religious work In our town. Baseball teams from Sticky and Talent played on the Phoenix grounds Sunday afternoon. The game was not a very lively one It was won by the Sticky boys. Mrs. L. Steadman of Pomona, Cal., came on Saturday morning's train to see her mother, Mrs. J. Helmic, who has been suffering from a fractured limb for the past three weeks, but is much better at this writing. The disapproval of the citizens of all the Irrigated section in and above Phoenix Is great, because of the emp tying of the sewerage from the coun ty poor farm Into the big ditch, which water is used in every door yard and garden from Its head down. A Mass meeting was held last Thurs day evening nnd petition signed ask ing the discontinuation of the of fence. Well, 1 promised to continue that electric line subject, but I am afraid It will turn out like the road to the coal mines, or Crater lake never be finished, or perhaps have to be an airline nrtcr all But, by the way, what we do want up this way is a local telephono line. There could be at least 100 telephones put In be tween Talent and Phoenix and over In North Phoenix, and the farming country In a radius of three miles. That would pay well.

Virgin, under the auspices of the Ashland Lodge, No. 944, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, last Friday afternoon, was very Impres sive and the services which were held at the Chautauqua tabernacle were very largely attended by the mem bers of the order as well as by many friends and acquaintances of the de ceased, so many years a prominent and respected business man of this city. The ritualistic service of the Elks was read by Exalted Ruler H. C. Sparr and the officers o! Ashland lodge. The funeral oration, which was an eloquent tribute of respect to the memory of the deceastd and to his lifo work, was pronounced by Hon. B. F. Mulkey, and was most fit ting. Music, sweet and touching, was rendered by a choir composed of Messrs. C. F. Tllton, C. W. Kims, Elmer Patrick and S. C. Olen. The pallbearers were E. V. Carter, L. L. Mullt, G. A. Knoblauch, C. H.

One man who l:ad Bpent over two thousand dollars for medi cine and treatment was cured by a few boxes of these tablets Price, 25 cents. Samples free M Charles Strang's drug store. The Colt Show. Owing to the fact that the notici given was short, also that Saturday was Decoration day, the colt shon of the P.oguo River Stock-Brceilers' association was not the succe:u it should have been. Of the many f. d colts of Farceur In the valley, only five were brought In, but they were prizewinners in their class. Jo;i. Patterson had a span rf 2-year-oli? that will tip the beam e. near' ! im pounds; fact Is t! i to we' .s i ;.' they weighed 1260 nnd 12E0, re spectively, lie also had two year lings that would bear down rt"-'y hard upon you '.' th"- ' m step on you. T:.; j'. v . -u . ; t' be far away from tiics.! f !!' The sur, If of t - . ' -over, was ... . ,ur- weeks-old C-.t. His weight was guessed all the way from 125 to pounds, lie didn't look particular ly large, but he was solid, wlt!i b'ir bones and withul symetrlcaily built. When he pulled the scales down :i 405 a veteran horseman was bent.l to remark: "Well, I'll breed to F.ir- ceur next year." One thing about Farceur's eolt is their symmetry. A 2-yen ei 1 weighing 1260 would seem over grown, but the two shown by Patterson were well built, active xnl were perfect in every respect. Every colt showed one distinctive characteristic they were kind and gentle, easily handled and were not afraid. Sore Nipples. Any mother who has bad experi ence with this distressing ailment will be pleased to know that a cure may be effected by applying Chanr berlaln's Salve as soon as the child Is done nursing. Wipe It off with a soft cloth before allowing the babe to nurse. Many trained nurses use this salve with best results. For sale by Charles Strang. Jersey Cows for Bale.

The crop outlook ' continues to Improve, and, with the single exception of prune, which will be below the average, all fruits 111 reach a production above the average. Indications lor peacnes and apricots are that California will produce the largest crop In Its his tory. Reports received by the Cali fornia promotion committee from every fruit district in the state show that this will probably be the ban ner year. Late rains did slight Injury to cut hay In certain localities, but the groat benefit of these rains to other crops greatly offset this damage. Grapes will make an especially abun dant crop this year, and already pre parations are being made, to harvest them. The demand for labor in the agricultural districts of the state Is Increasing, and thousands of men and women can find steady employ ment. The voting of $18,200,000 Im provement bonds by San Francisco, together with the voting of road Im provement bonds and school bonds in many parts of the state, indicate ihat there will be great demand for labor for public improvements dur ing the coming year. The movement for good roads in California has crystallzed in the ninth semi-annual meeting of the counties committee of the California promotion committee, to bo held In Santa Cruz, June 6, where ways and means will be devised to make this a great state movement. Several large tracts of land have been purchased by syndicates for the purpose of subdivision Into small tnrms. and these will be put on the market, during the summer, thus In ducing many settlers to come to the state.

Three fashionable churches In a certain city St. John's, St. Thomas and St. Margaret's have each of them a rector whose name Is Smith. This might make a little confusion, were It not for an ingenious method which has been adopted for designat ing them. Colloquially, and for the sake of differentiation, the eminent divine In charge of St. John's is known as "Johnny" Smith, the rector of the church of St. Thomas Is called "Tommy" Smith and he of 8t. Mar garet's goes by the name of "Mag gie" Smith. "Johnny" Smith and "Tommy" Smith do not particularly delight in the irreverent designations thus ap plied to them, It Is said; but "Mag gie" Smith vehemently objects. And. It must be owned, no wonder. The Merry Widow. A man whose wife was extremely jealous planned a pleasant surprise for her In the form of a trip to New York to see "The Merry Widow," and wrote a friend In the city to let blra know the earliest date for which he could secure seats.
