A Mighty Fisherman.
Pat Murphy of our city is a fisher
man of tremendous ability. Others may
catch bigger fish but for numbers he
outclasses bis fellows very emphatically.
Every day for two weeks, Pat went to
the river and each day be would return
with a string of little trout reaching in
to the hundreds. During this season of
fishing, Pat says he has caught 2744
trout. Most of these be has given away
to bia friends. Last Friday he had a
little string of 144 trout, mostoftlem
little fellows about six inches long,
although tbsre were a few of larger
growth. Tat says he caught them in
two hours and half. A fish a minute
seems pretty fast fishing. Pat knows
the river like a book and knows just
exactly where and how to fish. He can
judge the quality of a water hole by look
ing at it and when he spots a good one,
he reaps a harvest. He uses salmon
eggs for bait and guts almost every
nibbler. Stories of bis fishing sound
so large that many would find them
difficult of belief only that he submits
the fish as evidence and they cannot be
denied.
Southern Oregon Apple.
A fruit buyer for the Ixndon markets,
who was in Medford last week, made an
assertion which might seem ambiguous
to many of us who are not familiar with
conditions of fruit elsewhere. The
assertion was in substance that the
great Rogue River Valley, in Southern
Oregon, United States of America, pro
duced a Newtown Pippin apple that
could not be equalled any place In the
world. Gee, but the world is a big
place but when an assertion like this
comes from one who does nothing else
year in and year out but buy fruit for
one of the best markets in the world,
s can do nothing less than put it
down as a cold fact, especially when
there can be no motive. Hunan for
Southern Oregon's yellow apples!
She's a prize winner with the whole
world as a competitor. there are
thousands of acres of land in Southern
Oregon which will produce these apples
and upon which there is not now a
Iruit tree growing. That horticulture is
a profitable pursuit in Southern Oregon
is not qiieslioued by people who have
lived bare for the last five yssrs aud
have noted the illiniums amount of
money made by the growers. Medford

New Uniforms for O. N. G.
Last Spring Adjutant-General Gauten
bein made a requisition on the Quartermaster-General
of the United Stales for
1500 khaki uniforms for us of the Ore
gen National Guard. The riquisitiun
was disallowed for the reason that the
new regular Army requirement needed
all such uniforms ss wsre available.
General Gsntenbeiu persisted in the
matter, and made another requisition
this Fall, which met with more success.
Tje rtquisilion was granted, aod the
15)0 uniforms were shipped, and have
now reached here.
The advantages of these khaki uni
forms are their auitablity for field ser
vice, and they can be washed at one
fourth the expense of laundering blue
woolen nuilorms. This, in case of a reg
iment, is a considerable item.
The new uniforms will not be issued
at present, as there is no immediate ne
cessity for them. Hut they will be
issued to company commanders in
ample time for field and camp duty next
Hummer.
The Chief of Ordnance of the Army
has recommended that Krsg-Jorgeoseo
rifles be issued to lbs National Guard as
soon as possible, and General Ganten
bein considers the recommendation an
important entering wedge towirdthe
carrying out of the plan. The present
gun need by the National Guard is the
old Springfield 45, and all the guards
men think it is high time tbey were
brought up to date in the matter of
weapons.

Freight Train Wrecked,
Freight train No. 222, north bound,
was wrecked at Wolf Creek early Fri
day morning. Fourteen cars left the

About 30 rods of track was badly torn

were rushed to the scene and the road
was cleared about I o'clock In the after
noon. The early morning passeuger
train, No. 1, lay over here till nearly
11 o'clock and the 10 o'clock train, No.
15, did not reach here till nearly three
in the afternoon.
One man waa killed; a hobo who, with
a companion, was riding in a box car
The car load consisted only of a large
iron shaft, about 10 Inches In diameter
and perhaps 12 feet long, and a big
ship's snchor. When the man waa
found, the shaft lay across his abdomen
and it was this that had caused hi
death. The anchor lay across one of his
limbs, but one of the anchor flukes
stuck iu the ground and held up the
weight so that no injury waa done by
this means.
The man waa about 25 years old
Nothing could lie found by which he
could be Identified. His companion had
travelled with him from Ashland only and
knew nothing of him only that be had
said he was a sailor, yet, be was not
tattooed as sailors usually are. Coroner
