The Grain Crop Notwithstanding
the fact that in early spring the pros
pect for an average yield of grain was
very far from flattering, tho weather
during the summer has been such as to
bless our farmers with what we are
told is the best crop that Southern
Oregon has had for years, and as the
protpect for better prices are good, our
people are looking forward to a let-up
of the stringency of money with no
little satisfaction.

cases of the United States against W.

Mr. Howlst's Affliction. Since
our last another of Mr. Howlctt's
children died of diphtheria making
four out of that family within one
week. The stricken family, thinking
that perhaps the location of the house
the) lived in might have something to
do with their sickness, have removed
to Mr. Linkswiler's residence on An
telope creek. A fifth child was quite
low and not expected to recover when
the messenger left. The deceased
children were aged respectively: the
boys, one fourteen and the other seven
years; the girls respectively C.V and
four years.
The Road Located. J.S.Howard,
"who is surveying a railroad line
through the vallev. passed through

distanco from town he
ra. telescopic view ot our Uourt
LHouse and decided on running aline
"through the center of it,as it could tin n
be used for a depot also. Upon closer ex
amination, however, ho found that the
line run through Col. Ross' barn in
stead of the Court House, and Howard
now excuses himself by saying that he
thought some improvements might
have been made to our Court House
since his absence, sufficient to cause the
mistake.
TnE R. R. Survey. Howard's sur
veying party reached Conrad Mingus'
farm on the stage road 3J miles south
oast of Jacksonville. From hero they
took a northern course, which led them
through Heber Grove, Mrs. Chambers'
and Lever's farms, on toward Willow
Springs. From the main line of sur
vey at Mingus' field a line was run to
Jacksonville. This line was brought
through by Bellinger's and Ficke's land
and Airs. Bilger's orchard to the Court
House. The distance from the main
lino at Mingus' field to the Court
House is three miles and 6G0 feet, with
a fall of 50 feet to the mile. This sur
vey established the altitude of Jackson

1640 feet. As we go to press the

Concerning the Wagon Road to

Horace Gasquet presents and files a

Middle fork of said river, on the left
hand bank thereof about four miles;
thence across the same; thenco to the
mouth of Patrick creek; thence up Pat

Playing with Fire and not Get
ting Burnkd. A ridiculous sham
wedding took place at the office of the
U. S. Hotel on Sunday night last,
which came near resulting in an as
tounding catastrophe. The bride
groom was a double witted San Fran
cuco runner, and agent of the Morn
ning "Call," in 'the full Bloom of life,
and the biide a slender Jacksonville
youth of the male persuasion, dressed
in female clothing. The so-called
brother of the bride threatened to
shoot the young man if he refused to
marry tho girl, whom it was charged
he had seduced. A minister was called
in, (also a sham petsonage), to solem
nize the marriage, and the culmmatiis
point of the faice was reached. The
fun was a trifle too much for the "per
force" bridegroom and half-crazed he
strenuously protested against the whole
proceeding. The farce, after it h.id
gone its length, was brought abruptly
to a close by the Madame diiving out
the hilarious wedding guests and the
would-be brother of the bride. And
when the true gender of tho bride was
discoveied, he too was fired out of the
hotel. Two newspaper men, one rep
resenting the S. F. Chronicle, and the J
other a Portland paper were present,
who will write up tho disreputable af

A DirncuLT Journey. George
Schumpf who went to Camp Harney
after some passengers which he did not
get, had quite an experience, both
going and coming. As he had never
been at Harney before, he found the
distance very long, especially the stretch
of rond over tho "desert." The distance
from Jacksonville to Camp Harney via
Lakeview is 48i miles, which he ac
complished in eight days, but losing
his way the distance traveled was con
siderably increased. Both of Mr.
Schumpt's horses took sick from drink
ing alkali water, and he w&s compelled
to hire a span of fresh horses to drive
home with. Recro'sitig the desert
from Camp Harney he was accompan
ied by Ladd Savage and Geo. Howard,
and between the threw the grub supply
grew so light that they had to travel
several days on homeopathic rations.
When they got into tho station they
were as hungry as wolves. Mr.
Schumpf sayi some of tho valleys trav
ersed weie very beautiful; at one place
he saw a herd of cattlo 50,000 strong,
at another a herd of 12,000, with the
grass knee high. Eastern Oregon is a

The Benedictines. Fathers Adel
del in Odermatt and Nicholas Frei,
formerly of Switzerland, moro recently
of Conception, Npdaway county, Mis
souri, are now in our midst on a tour
of inspection. They came to this coast
for the purpose of finding a suit
able location for the establishment
of a monastery of the Ancient Or
der of Saint Benedict, of which society
they are members. We understand
thev are very favorably impressed with
our beautiful' valley and nowhere do
they find the outlook better for build
ing up the Catholic religion among the
people. We also learn that a gentle
man has been found in this county
who is willing to pay 2,000 toward
the establishment of a monastery for
Benedictine monks.

To the Trade: Practical experience
has demonstrated tons that the trade re
quires a choice old Bourbon for immedi
ate use. For it is well known that straight
whisky tlint is absolutely pure requires
age, great care anil attention, and our old
Davenport whisky possesses all the above
qualities. The grain used in the distilla
tion of our J. II. Davenpott whisky is
carefully selected from the finest, richest
and very best grown in the state of Ken
tucky. The water is drawn from one of
the tinest limestone springs in the state,
the peculiar properties of which have
gained lor KentucKy whiskies such world
wide celebrity. This process makes our
J. II. D:.vcnport a pure, hand mado, sour
mash vhisky, and we claim that for deli,
cacy of flavor, purity and medicinal qual
ities, it stands unexcelled.
Yours truly Scnm.rz fc Vox Bakgex.
From and after this date J. P. McDaniel
& Co. Jacksonville, will keep the justly
celebrated DavenporU pure.straight whis
ky 'exclusively.
