A very pleasant social ami mtisicale was given by the ladies of the Presby terian Church at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Eddings Wednesday evening A large number of guests were very pleasantly entertained, choice vocal ami instrumental music, elocutionary renditions, etc., being part of the programme. A novel and most interesting feature was the picture gallery, which, besides the usual comic features, contained a large number of piotile pictures of business men ami other citizens of Ashland. A busy s 'eim is presented nt the tract of Imnl own -I by Me.-srs. Atkin son, Mill.-s and Carter near John Walk ers. Sometwenty-Rix mon are engaged in clearing, umh*r th-' management of J. M.

A vast im provement is being made iu that ueigb- Ixirhoo I. The o|«-ning of streets and ro-ads is a tM'uetit which is beginning to l>e appreciated alaiut Ashland. The existence of a uiimber of cases of smallpox at Dunsmuir, the heatl- quartt rs of the mid-lie dtvisiou of tho Mt. Shasta line of tho S. 1’. R. It, makes the danger imminent of intro ducing the disease in Ashland. This is the northern end of tho division, and the railroad employes on the run botw'-en Dunsmuir aud Ashhind are Ilk- ly to be ex|>osed to tho disease should it become epidemic at Duns muir, as seems now altogether prob able. In view of these facts, the health authorities should take the matter under immediate consideration, ;in-l endeavor to reduce the danger here to its minimum. Even the ex istence of a single case of smallpox here might result in serious injury to the general prosperity of tho city for a time, even if the lives aud health of our citizens were not endangered to any extent. A Houthern California paper, show ing tbe semi-tropical advantages of its neighborhood, makes a strong point ot the fact that “the beautiful pampas grass plumes, which sell in the East at 50 cts. each for house decoration, are common door-y ird ornaments in En senada.” Southern Oregon is not ad- vrtised ¡is a tropi-'.il country, but it is a fact that th same pampas grass plumes l and they are lieautiful ) ¡ire common door yard ornaments in Ash land. as well as -lowu m Southern Cal- if-enia. Rogiv River Valley is a pret tier country th in the sandy plains and bare hills aud cactus deserts along the M-'iiean line, an I issu.--*-ptible of sus taining as large a population as any valley of its size in Southern Califor nia. People will learn this in time. As to climate, many people prefer that of the peach and apple belt to the hotter iui-1 drier atmosphere of tho southern citrus l«-lt. A new real estate firm is announced this wi-ek Douglas A Co., of whom the nlemliera are W. N. Luckey and J. T. Rogers, (the well known Ashland firm of Luckey A Co.,) Ward Douglas, the special representative of the New dork life insurance company, who hiw beim writing up a large number of policies iu Oregon, and Fred Hansen, a resident of Ashland, and owner of farming lands ou Rogue River, The new firm will open three offices in the county, aud intend to prepare for do ing a large business in their line. Messrs. Luckey A Rogers will have their office in Ashland. Mr. Douglas will have his office in tin' M-'-lfonl bank building, and Mr. Hans- n has opened an office iu Central Point.

Folk County Iteniiw: Last Thurs day morning Frank Woods, accom panied by his wife, drove into the river just east of the bridge leading to this city, and almost instantly the horses had to swin and the buggy sauk to the Ixittom. Iu some inexplicable manner the horses got loost» from the buggy, mid came rushing up to Burns’ stable. How Mr. and Mrs. AVixxlsgot to shore is a mystery, as th" water is very deep aud tbe current swift. Neighbors took care of Mrs. Woods, who was lying in a dead faint ou the hank when disc«iv- ered.

A young man named E. T. Foley committed suicide at Prineville, Crook county, last Saturday night. Foley was a well-known and universally liked young man of that section of the country, and r«'sid«»<l at Camp Polk, about thirty-five nub's ilistant from Prineville. He had been visiting th«' latter place and had lui n drinking considerably, until finally the saloon- kis-pers of the place decided to furnish him no more liquor, hoping to benefit him thereby. But the reaction from such dissipation to deprivation was too much for Foley, and on the night mentiomsl he went out liehind the cal- i alioose and cut the arteries in one of his wrists and bled to death. Foley was a nephew of Bud Thompson, well- known in the valley. He was aged 32 and unmarried.

Although I do not get around very often with reports of Eugene’s prog ress, yet I try to give a few notes once in a while from this thriving city of tbo Willamette. The pleasant weather of two or three weeks past has caused the country to put on rather a spring like appearance and vegetation of all kinds has taken a decided start. The Willamette val ley at this time last year was just be ing freed of sixteen inches of snow which laid on the ground during a gixjd portion of the month of Febru ary. This year the snow came earlier and not nearly so much fell, so Febru ary of this year has been free from snow. No great building activity has ns yet developed itself, though it is expected that the present year will see many building improvements here. Prof. 1). W. Coolidge and Mr. (). W. Hol mi's, both former Aslilanditee, have each recently planted a large number of fruit trees on their places situated in the foothills adjacent to Eugene, and propose going into the fruit-raising business to a considerable extent. A new bank (tho Second National) will open for business in a few days. This makes the third bank in Eugene. All three represent a capital of $200,- 000, that of the new company being $100,000. The furnishing of tho fine Metho dist. church building has boen mate rially added to by the purchase of a large pipe organ costing some $1200, which nas just been placed in position. The new Masonic Temple is to be dedicated on Wednesday of till» week. There will probably be a nutaber of Masons from different pirts ^if tho state in attendance. Some three or four now real estate agencies have recently sprung into ex istence in this place. Just at present it is not presumed that they are doing a very rushing business, but are living on tho prospects of the boom "that is to be” in the spring. The real estate agents are certainly here, and the boom assuredly coming. Measles are prevalent, and have been for some time, to a considerable extent m Eugene, as well as in many other parts of the state. Their appearance among some of the University stu dents has caused no little inconve nience to the work of the school as well as to those afflicted. However.no further trouble is anticipated. About half of the school year of this session of the Oregon State* University- lias passed, and students are already- beginning to look forward to the close. The graduating class this year num bers only live, half tho number of last year’s class. The general attendance remains pretty good and is nearly 150. ... The Library of the University will soon >>e augmented by an addition of 31000 worth of new Isxiks, which have boen recently ordered. This Library is steadily growing and already contains a large nnmlier (2900or 3000 volumes) of valuable books, for the use of stu dents. Eugene claims to If the best lighted town in the valley. Tho electric lights are much superior to the oil, and seem to give general satisfaction. \V. TALENT ITEMS. T alent , Or., Feb. 27. 88.
