Last Sunday A. C. Howlett preach ed at the Derby schoolhouse In the forenoon and at Reece creek In the afternoon.. The people of Derby have lined the Interior of the school house with nice, clean lumber and have the material on the ground to build a wood house, and the first thing the people of Jackson county know they will learn that Derby has a new and commodious schoolhouse. They have a store already and peo ple are beginning to realize that the foothills are good orchard land. Mrs. Hume Is teaching the Derby school. E. S. Wolfer, the strawberry man. Is kept busy In his strawberry field tending the plants and gathering the strawberries. That sounds or reads strange. The Idea of having ripe strawberries here In November, but he keeps the Sunnyslde supplied and noils quite a lot to outsiders from a distance.

They remained over night at the Sunnyslde hotel and were so ( favorably Impressed with the sur-1 roundlnKS that they decided to locate ; here If they could find a place that would suit them. They wanted to rent small places where they could j have water to Irrigate or buy if the terms were such that could be with-, In their reach. Thus this coinmu- j nlty Is gradually filling up with peo- ! pie of the right eland.

Then there l as good a school here as one would wish for. Professor Henry Is prin cipal and Miss Burtlcy Peachcy Is primary teacher. She told me last evening that If there was many more came In her room she would have to have an assistant, so It can be een that the good work Is going on. ' KANE'S CREEK ITEMS.
