M. McCoy returned Wednesday
from Myrtle Creek and reports fa
vorable progress at the oil well says
the Review. The Work was some-
wbut interrupted Tuesday by a
strong flow of gas from the well.
It will require several days’ work to
put in the casing and get things in
readiness for resuming drilliug op
erations.
Z. L. Corbett, who is assist:ng in
the oil boring operations at Myrtle
Creek, appeared before the Rose,
burg council last week and made
the following proposition.
If the
city would grant him a franchise, in
the event of discovery, to lay gas
pipes throughout the city and oper
ate a plant, he would expend $10,-
OUO in experimental boring in Rose-
burg for natural gas. An ordinance
covering the matter was read and
finally referred to a committee.

He was temporarily in financial
struils, and it naturally worried her.
She could not see why there should
be any difficulty in getting what
was necessary to tide them over a
dull period.
“ Why don’ t you incorporate us?”
she asked.
“Incorporate us?’ ’ be exclaimed
in surprise.
“ Yes— incorporate
the family.
Everything is being incorporated
these days, it seems to me.”
“ What good would that do?” he
inquired when he bad somewhat re
covered from his astonishment.
“ Why, if we were a corporation,”
she-replied, “ we could raise money
by issuing bonds, or selling stock,
couldn't we? They all do it, don’ t
they? It seems to me as if I were
always reading about new issues of
bonds and stocks by governments
and corporations.”

Jas. Hawley, who with bis family
has been spending the past few
years at Santiago and other South
ern California points, arrived at bis
farm home near Divide, four miles
south of Cottage Grove last Sunday
morning with 1000 bead of fine An-
gorn goats which he purchased in
Southern California.
The goats
were shipped over the Southern
Pacific railroad and the cars were
sidetracked at Comstock Saturday,
where the goats were unloaded that
evening and were driven to Mr.
Hawley’s farm the next day, Sun
day. This is no doubt the largest
band of Augora goats in this part
of the state and a more ideal farm
thau Mr. Hawley’s for goats and
stock raising would be hard to find
in the state. Mr. Hawley will also
engage in cattle raising on an ex
tensive scale in which business, it is
understood, he will be associated
with D. W. Harding who has also
beeu spending several yeurB in
Southern Califoruia, but who con
template returning to this place ear
ly in the summer.
Mr. Harding’s
farm three miles northeast of this
city, comprising some 2000 acres, is
equally as well situated ami adapted
to stockraisiug as the Hawley place,
and taking the two big fnrinHin con
junction, a great deal of stock can
be handled profitably.

She is uone from the home that loved her
well.
How sad to think she is not there;
Where she ruled and reigned—queen of
love,
With a fond and loving mother’ s care.
The chair wherein she reclined for re
pose
A fter the toil of the day was done,
Is isolated vacant and seems, to say,
“ The dear loving occupant has gone!”
She is gone, severed ties that bound heart
to heart;
Tlie tie o f a husband’s love
In the hour of death she yielded all,
To him who rules and reigns above,
Like a full blown rose o f an autumn
morn,
She came but to fade away.
Her petals were closed in icy death,
To open again in eternity.
She is g o n e -b id aUue to the cares of
life.
That burdened her youthful mind.
The tears that tilled tier sparkling eyes.
She lias left them all behind.
She has gone to the grave home of the
dead,
Where in peace and silence will lay,
Embalmed in the arms o f a savior’s love
Her soul awaits the judgement day.
She is go n e - no token she’ll eonie again.
From that world that beams love,
When a jewel she’ll shine through coming
years.
In the Koyal Palace above.
Farewell loved one for only awhile
And then we’ll meet again;
Where partings cease, where sorrow is not,
In the Heaven eternal to reign.

SUCCESS A
F A IL U R E
The Success, a bright and readable
little paper, published at Medford,
has proved to be a failure, and an
nounces that it is down and out. In
saying goodbye it talks very sensibly
and without bias concerning the situ
ation, ami, umong other things, says:
•‘ With ttiis issue the Success will be
discontinued. The reason for this ac-
tiou is that an energetic paper, oue
that is outspoken and alive to the in
terests of the people, and which Is not
h time server and the tool to some
grasping combination, is out of Its
element here in Medford.
“ Ann then Medford is handicapped
with the feeling that the town has
such superior idvantageg that no ef
fort is necessary to make it the big
city of Southern Oregon. There is in
Medford too much of the spirit of the
rich man’s son, who would do noth
ing for himself because he felt that
his advantages would enable him to
out-distance the poor boy, not realiz
ing that tbe poor boy’s hustling would
eventually be his undoing.

above is applicable to many other
towns in this section.—E<1.]
