A serious fire was narrowly avert ed last Saturday morning in Merrltt & Co.'s general store In this city. A lighted match had been accidentally t was discovered the flames were crawling rapidly toward the roof. Parties In the store were soon busy and the flames were extinguished be fore any damage was done. A fit subject for the action of the boosters of Gold Hill would be the task of advertising the fishing of this section from a sportsman's stand point. It Is safe to say that there Is no better fishing in any stream In the United States than there is along Rogue river at this point, yet there has never been anything done by the people of this section to advertise it. Was It widely known, it Is safe to say that hundreds of people would visit our little town every summer, merely for the purpose of fishing in this river. Hotels, restaurants. lodging houses and in fact every branch of business in the town would prosper from these pleasure-seekers. Why do we not look after these things? Not along the fishing, but hunting aa well, is excelled In very few places. Gold Hill could be made into a summer resort of the first, kind if our people were willing to work to that end. For Rale. Land that is equal to Rogue river valley land, but Is cheaper. Five hundred and seventy acres of land, more or less, almost adjoining the town of Toncalla, Douglas coun ty, Oregon; about two-thirds of the place good for agricultural and hor ticultural purposes, Che balance cov ered with a dense growth of grub oak, which when converted Into cord wood will more than pay for clear ing and leave that port In good shape for cultivating as aforesaid small house and large barn on the place. For further particulars as to price, etc.. Inquire of the owner, Mrs. J. M. Shelley, Eugene, Or., or ber son, C. F. Applegate, Yoncalla, Or. tf Tomnto (trowing. Tomato-growing has proved to 'ie very profitable In Rogue River v I- ley. A cannery has been establisl -d at Grants Pass to care for the crop and the acreage will be double that of last year. This vegetable-fruit :irs come into use almost entirely within the paBt half-century. It has b.nn developed by cultivation from the bright little "love apples," so called yellow and red, round and pear shaped, which were grown as orna ments to the garden border by our great-grandmothers and which the children were warned not to touch, as they were poisonous to the smooth, bright, large and toothsome product grown by the ton and found upon the tables of rich and poor alike the year round. The yield, when properly cultivated, is from 20 to 40 bushels to the acre, and the season In Rogue River valley lasts from August until November for tne fresh product and tbe year round for tht canned product the country over. A tomato field with plants bearing ripe, green and growing fruit and still set with points of yellow bins- soms is a sight worth going far to see It is seen at its best In the Rogue River valley In the late sum mer and early autumn. Portland Oregonlan. (Ashland Tidings.)
