Men, Are Kept Busy.
Deuel & Weeks, the owners of the

have had Gaddls ft Dixon, the Page
fence men of this city, just complete
over 800 rods of the famous Page
24-bar 49-lnch rabbit-proof fence for
them around above the orchard and
vineyard. This Is the very largest
single stretch of absolutely rabbit
proof fence In this part of the state.
This style of fence Is the very lat
est rabbit-proof fence put out by the
Page people and It bids fair to be
come a very popular fence among
the fruit and grape growers of Jack
n and Josephine counties, especi
ally on account of Its cheapness in
price and being spaced so close at
the bottom the wires being only
one inch apart. This fence was
erected over the rolling ground and
through the ravines on thta ranch.
Just as perfectly as on level ground.
E. L. Balcom had charge of the
erection of the fence for Gaddls ft
Dixon.

$150 worth of berries from the first
crop, and from the second crop, now
being harvested, he has already sold
285 worth of fruit and those
