such universal sorrow in the cominun
ityjas in this case. Her bright wit
and perfect behavior attracted every

made her a favorito with all. As so
often happens Death choso a shining
mark. Her mind was unusually sus
ceptible to the acquiring of knowledge,
and at school she was always foremost
in her classes, yet without much ap
parent effort. Particularly in music,
composition and sketching she was
making rcmarkablo progress and
showed wonderful proficiency for ono
bo young. A half hour before tho end
tho deceased was sitting up in bed,
and with much animation was conver

cautioned her about tiring herself, but
she replied that she felt liko talking.
Very soon after, she suddenly ex
claimed, "Oh 1 papa, I am going to
die," and in a few moments without
speaking again she breathed her last.
Her loving sister, who was her con
stant companion, her father, and other
relatives, could scarcely realizo that
their darling Edith had closed her eyes
forever, and in many years to come
was only to bo as n sweet memory.
Created with a brilliant mind, mado
lovable in every way, surrounded with
adoring frionds and rolativcs, yet torn

An Account of the Plcnle Mattsrs of
General Interest.
i The following iteim vre rclvel too

The ieopie of Eagle valley are re
joicing over thj great success of their
Harvest Home picnic. There was
never a day tint was spent mom pleas
antly. About 1200peupla wew pros
cut, representing almost every town
and ncighorhood in Union And Baker
counties. M.my old pioneers were
present and enjoyed themselves talk
ing over old times, in tho days of tho
red men and wild beasts of tho forest.
Some of them had not been in Eagle
valley for twelve years and looking
over the brilliant prospect legrcted
that they did not stay while they were
here. Able addre.-ses were delivered
by J Ion. Tims. Crawford, of Union,
Hon. Dunham Wright, of Medical
Springs, and Hon. Sum'l 1'. I'utnam
of San Krancif-co. Tho speeches by
the young ladies were very well ren
dered and appropriate. Miss Scott of
tho Sparta school, brought five of her
little pupils down, and they spoke a
piece in splendid style. Miss Seott
deserves great credit as a teacher.
The afternoon was spent in various
sports. Five young ladies entered the
riding contest; Miss Delia Morris, Miss
Clara Craig, Miss Amanda Young, Miss
Alta Holcotub and Mrs. BennehofY.
They all lode well butgMiss Morriss re
ceived the first premium and Miss
Holcomb the second premium. Next
came wheelbarrow races, egg races,
old men's race and tournament riding.
After supper the large and woll con
structed platform was put in order and
dancing was indulged in all night.
Ninety-eight numbers were sold. Tho
band boys furnished excellent music.
There was a large display of fruit
and vegetables, also of honey bees
and honey. Tho first premium on
bees was awarded to Harry Barrows,
and the second premium has given to
Chas. Wise. Theso gentlemen de
serve great praise for making so nice
a display of bees and honey in the
comb.
W. W. Kirbysays that Uncle Jimmy
Po has tho best honey he over lasted.
Mr. Po made him a present of a can of
honey, recently. Success to Mr. Po as
a boo man.
The first premium for vegetables
was awarded to John Erazior, the
second premium to Frank P. Lee.
We did not learn to whom tho third
premium was awarded.
Mr. Frank Lee. as master of ceremo
nies, did good work all day. At night
Mr. Beardsly, of Sparta, kept every
thing running quietly and smoothly.
Great praise is duo our cooks who
placed before the people such an ex
cellent dinner. There was enough
provisions for throo times tho number
of peoplo present.
Hon. Sain'l P. I'utnam arrived in
Eagle valley July .'JOth and le'otured
that evening and on the following
evening to largo audiences. Mr. Put

during his stay who will gladly wel
come him again. Several from Pino
valley attended the lectures and were
greatly pleased. Thoy want him to
lecture in Pine if. ho conies this way
again. K.
Indians and Baseball.
Indians arc lovers of baseball. The
Valley Record says: "Two of tho
Indiands belonging to the Klamath
agency nine, who aro tho champions
of Klamath county aro in tho city ar
ranging for a game with tho pale
faces of Ashland. Thoy want to put
$500 worth of ponies against $500
cash, tho game to bo played the day
before circus. Thoy say they want
lots of money to seo 'tho elephant'
witli, and being enthusiastic over their
own ability, want to got it in spito of
the hard times in Klamath. When
theso fciwashos attempt to bat ono of
Van Tasslo's curves, poor Lo's untu
tored cranium will think tho hall is
'hoodooed.' Their tally sheet will
look as though a cyclone had struck
it."
