MITCHELL 8 BOECK Wagonmakers Rear of Merriman'a Blacksmith Shop, East Seventh Street Medford, Oregon fltAITK LANDS MAKK thk mest cjakdkxs Wilfred Harris, a native of Eng land, who came tn America some hree y?ars ago and has been a res ident of West Grant Pass for the fiast.two years, was the first to mar ket green pears last season and again 1his season. He brought in the first us the 20th of May this season. He limed his garden two years ago on purely granite soil. He has recent' y decided to go Into gardening on a larger scale his vocation In the mother country and after the two last seasons here Is fuly convinced that granite gives far the best re mits. Mr. Harris, as well as others who have been here longer, say that the granite soil gets warm earlier In the eison and will therefore produce an ar,ler garden than the other soils. Another point la favor of the granite Is that It will produce a large crop of vegetables, strawberries and other small fruits where some of the other oils wonld have to be Irrigated. As vtdence of bis claims, Mr. Harris has pea vines In his granite gardes four feet tall at the present time. Your Hardware aOnooooootoooooegBMOB8oaoBCBicaeg the other fellow?

A number of Astorlans propose to organize a company of tbe Oregon National Guard. Presumably the first gun as a result of the late elec tion In the matter of the armory bill appropriation. The fellows who were compelled to Beek assistance in filling out their tickets Monday invariably Insisted on voting against woman's suffrage on the ground that the fair sex was not competent to vote. The sound business policy which Is followed by the local banks has again been noticed In a signal man ner by the United States government in the creating of a national deposi tory In one of them. And they went through the recent financial flurry in a way that reflects credit upon tbe men conducting them. Between 1887 and 1907 the busi ness of the country as shown by the bank clearings Increased from $52,- 136.704.480 to fl64.662.SlS.2S8.

It la the contemplation of this vast expansion of trade and banking bus iness, and the relatively small sums lost through defalcation or bad man agement, which Inclines men to be lieve that the world Is not growing worse, as some pessimists would have ua believe It Is. FATMKR OF LOCAL MAX KILI.KD (From Tuesday's Daily.) E. C. Boeck of this city received a telegram yesterday evening from Chester City, la., conveying to him the aad news of the death of his father, C. R. Boeck, 84 years of age,, who was killed In that city Sunday by a tornado. The story ta that a tornado struck that city Sunday afternoon about S o'clock, demolished about 200 dwell ings and barns. Mr. Boeck was the only grown person killed, but four children were reported missing. The path of the tornado was about ten rods wide. It struck the city in the southwestern part, crossed the river at a point a quarter mile east of the bridge on the main street and lifted the water almost clean from the river bed. It passed in a north' 3aaterly direction, Just missing the Charles City college buildings, and spent itself a few miles northeast of the city. CHIXKSE lll ll.K RAHiWAV OV THKIK OWS Ad Americanised Chinaman. Chin Gee Hee, Is the projector, president and engineer-ln-chief of a railroad which haa recently been opened In the Hong Kong lnterland. The road, which was built almost entirely by Chinese capital and labor, will eventually be 40 miles long and will connect Samkuphol and Sunning, from the last-named place extending to Kung Ylck, a newly opened port. The capital of the company Is $2,660,000, of which $2,000,000 was subscrlged by Chinese resident in America and the remainder by mer chants of Hongkong. The embark ment of the whole line was complet ed In seven months, and the part opened In January comprises 17 miles. Of the six locomotives used four were purchased in the United States, the others coming from Ger many. The president says that his chief difficulty In building the road was in overcoming the obstinacy of the natives, who opposed the work on the ground that the smokd from the locomotives would ruin their crops. The women of one locality offered htm personal violence, and other at tempts on his life had to be repelled by a military guard. Mr. Chin, who Is one of the best-known Chinese merchants on the Pacific coast, re ceives the munificent salary of $80 a month from the railroad company. Ho relinquished an Income of $3500 a year to undertake the work which he la so successfully carrying out In China. MANY CONDITIONS Pl'M, DOWN' HOP CHOP That ther, will be a very short crop of hops In Oregon as well as In California and Washington this sea son Is now believed by all Interests. Reports from Willamette valley yards during the past week Indicate that those yards which were receiv ing the host cultivation will not har vest over 75 per cent of a crop, and many will not give tnat much. This. coupled with the acreage plowed up and others left without stringing, means that unless something unfore seen at the moment happens Oregon will not produce more than $0,000 or 100,000 bales this season. How over, even this amount Is that many bales too many for the good of the price. LOCAL HAPPENINGS (From Saturday's Dally.) W. J. Scott left the city today for Trail. H. H.
