Forty pound watermelons are now
coming in from the lower Bear creek
flats, llit watermelon does not wait
till after election to see if it is safe
to expand.
Trout fishing on the liogue river is
affording royal Bpori for many pleasure
seekers from the cities. Steel heads
rainbows aud young salmon from about
two to 10 pounds aro lauded by the
dozen every day.
Watermelons, grapes aud peaches on
the western slope of Roxy Ann, near
Med ford aro now piling into the murket.
Honey, melons and cream are all mighty
good things but they abound every
where in this valloy.
L. II. Pan key who pilots fishermen
on tho Koguo river says houever .cares
any more for trout, he has had so many
of them that he prefers pork and beans.
I. M." Meers of Portland caught 26
poundB or rainbow and steelheads from
tho waters of tho Roguo on September
10 aud 11.
II. D. Walker, a nowepaper man of
Saa Franc ibco has been securing reero
ation with rod and reel on the Rogue
river for several days. lie bagged many
a speckled beauty but thaere are some
mighty big saucy trout and salmon
who aro now swishing their tails in
glee aud saying, ' ' ha, ha, he, never
touched me."
A Boy Melon Magnate
L, Thompson formerly of Kalispel,
Montana, has a 23-uvru fruit and melon
farm at tho Bear creek bridge below
Central Point. Master Russel Thomp
son, a boy of 12 years attends to the
hoeing of the meions under the direction
of his mother and th-J result is mighty
fine melons which market at a figure
that gives a return of about $100 per
acre besides all the melons that Russel,
the rustler with the aid of his many
fnends can consumo at home. The re
porter found him carrying iu melons
from tho nearby fields in tho cool of
the morning and storing them in the
shade of a big oak tree aud after secur
ing two melons from the young melon
merchant we wero invited by him aud
his mother to a treat of a red ripe 35
pound watermelon. Tho melon was most
excellent, being stored with nectar of
delicious flavor. There is nothing but
friendship that can improve tho flavor
of a watermelon.
Attacked by Panther
S. B. Tarbell came from Minnesota
end settled here in Southern Oregon
about four years ago. Ho has a little
ranch up near Buck Rock on Trail
creek, a tributary or the Rogue river
about 27 miles from Medford. Mr. Tar
bell has either transformed into a typi
cal Southern Orcgoniau or elso he was
born to the type. He ie big and broad
and honest and couhl strike a blow with
his fist that would shutter a hard oak
board and so he is not afraid of any
kind of animal that roams tho woods.
He was out some time ago in the cool
of tho evening near his raneh looking
for jack rabbits from force of habit
when he heard something coming trot,
trot, trot behind him and then pawing
at his heels. Ho turned around and
thero was a big cougar purring and
grinning to think what a big supper!
ho would have on Mr. Tarbell 's eareas.
. Now Mr. Tarbell is a subscriber to the
Southern Oregonian and he cannot hi
taken by surprise by anything. Ho
looked the cougar square in the ?vs
and said "what do you think you .in
doing there." Before you could say
"Jack Robinson" he poked the sh'-t
gun in tho cougar's face and fired li s.i
full of fine shot, then he jabbed the
cougar in tho belly and fired the other
barrell. I'.y this time the old dog Brave
came on the scene and the cougar scram
bled up a big oak tree, but he was kill
ed "too dead to skin" by the third and
fourth discharge of Tarbell 's artillery.
It was my birthday said Mr. Tarbell
and the neighbors all laughed about
that cougar trying to whip me. Ho was
reaching for my heels just like a
cat would play with a base ball. It
seems that tho bear and cougar supply
on the upper Rogue river will never
grow lean.
Advantages of Irrigation for Oregon
The Rogue river ranchers Bay that
this is one of the dryest years in all
their experience and while it has greatly
diminished tho crops it still is not so
bail when you find plenty of corn giv
ing 45 bushels to the acre , wheat 41),
oats as hiph as 100 bushels per ncre
and loads of fine fruit and melons.
There are abunilant water resources in
this country, such for instance as the
great beautiful Rogue river with mnny
tributaries. If there was any such
great streams in the desert states they
would be drawn through canals as wide
us t hese Oregon lanes and the mere
desert sands would be nini to blossom
as the rose. There is no measuring the
fertility of the Oregon soil and ulti
mately under irrigation it will produce
double nnd triple tho present excellent
crops. Where desert lands give a fair
yield under the same unfailing process
these fertile Oregon fit-Ids would
become a dense jungle of garden,
fruit and grain. By getting together
on irrigation Southern Oregon farmers
ran treble the products of their farms.
Bro'r Grasshopper
The " grasliopjM r is in his glory when
the sea.in is dry, but when it rains he
has to put on his overcoat and rubber
boots and jtand nmund in the wheat
and clover till he gets fever nnd ague
nnd dfos not flourish. He feeds on th
farmers prod we and laughs defiance
when it la "extra dry" but in damp
weather he gMn the dumps and cannot
ung, though Bre 'r Cricket and the
katydid seem never to cease their tongs
nf praise to the aemler of moisture
t, 'v rnnn
Bro'r Grasshopper is fond of the gar
den patch and corn field. Perched upon
a big water melon or pumpkin he looks
through his spy glass at the far green
universe of the graden bed and Is a gay
fellow until ho is chased down and
swallowed by so mo industrious yellow
legged chicken, the lore of Bre 'r Grass
hopper in Southern Oregon and might
be sung in folk lore as follows:
Oh the grasshopper lived in the big
corn field
And he felt so fat and 8a By
That he Baid, "By gum, I'm a goin
' some,"
And the fields are green and grassy.
I'm a goin to fly to the clover patch,
Where the blossome cover me over,
And there my brood I'm going to hatch
And we all will dwell in clover;
So he flew away.to the clover field
And there his luck he tried sir,
Green gogles ho wore and a troth he
Bwore
Against "raco suicide," sir.
Old Bre'r Rain, ho came along,
Came along, came along,
Old Bre'r Bain, he came along,
The clouds hung heavy over;
Grasshopper then he ceased his song,
Ceased his song, ceased his song;
Grasshopper then he ceased his soug
In the soaking fields of clover.
Grasshopper couldn't stand the ills,
Ho couldn't meet his doctor bills,
He passed to a receiver,
Old Doctor Cricket got the case
And putting on a solemn faco
Ho killed the whole darned hopper
race
And called it "chills and fever."
FOLDED HANDS.
(By Claronce E. Eddy)
shores where the rocks are the
steepest
By
The sea mourns most to tho lands
But tho pathos divinest and deepest
Is the pathos of folded hands.
I seek not to war with another,
It would break my heart I know
To look on some poor dead brother
And I feel I had wrnoged him so.
To every heart there is given,
In all of tho world's broad lands
A touch of the pity of heaven
When gazing on folded hands.
It is God's own just decreeing
That this to the dead wo bestow,
He may seek to chasten us, seeing
That in life we neglected him so.
Though roses are worth the giving,
A single rose, it is said,
Ts worth far more to the living
Than countless wreathes to the dead.
There are many lives so lonely,
Longing for love that lingors,
Give not the roses only
To the poor folded fingers.

SIHS
8POBTTNG NEW a
The Beavers and Loo Loos are still
having a battle royal at Portland. Af
er being beaten thre straight games,
the former turned the tables at Los
Angeles; but at last accounts their ruu
of luck bad ended. There seems to be
no doubt now that Los Angeles will
again win the pennant. The real
contest seems to be between Portland
and San Francisco for second place
with chances in favor of the latter.
Oakland may not remain in the cellar
always.
Gang, Attel and Ketchell, the pugilis
tic favorites met with a strenous set
back in their fights during the past
week. The negro has lost the light
weight championship for good.
Matthowson, who is now leading tho
National leaguo pitchers, has struck out
more men than any other major leaguo
pitcher. Waddell leads in the American
league.
To get to first place Portland must
win the next 12 games straight, and Los
Angeles lose 10 of the same nnmhor.
It has been definitely decided that
there will bo four umpires in the
world's series. Two of them will prob
ably act as patrol umpires.
