New Ro&d Up Applefate. County Surveyor (larl T. Jones and others, says the .Jacksonville .Sentinel, returned Saturday from the Upper Applegat:) where they had been to lis ate a change in the county road along that stream. The present county road up Apple- gate crosses t'-at stream four times and it is to obviate the necessity of building four bridges that this change in the road has lmeu made. The new route "follows the east bank of the river all the way np to the county lino near Joes liar. The grade is perfect, being a uniform grade for the lit ire distance to the river. County Surveyor Jones reporta that the 0ien ing of this road will tint be so exjs'ii sive as was 'gem-rally sup,sed. For the gn ater part of the distance the route is along the diy level land on the river bank where tho cost of ojssiiing will be very light, iu .fact some parts of the route is along the present traveled road. There aro but two places where rock work will he necessary. Ou these aittloiia there w ill be about IM yards distance of solid ris k to blast off and about 4000 yards off which hxiae rock has to he n-niovcd. The rock work vill be an easy matter as the bluffs face the river aud the blasts will scud the rock clear of the roudwiy. Mr. Jones is now making np his estimates for submis sion w-ith bis report to thn comity i-ourt at the August term and it is understood that the county will let the work of os ning the road ont by con tract, which will bo done early this fall. The annual reunion of the Pioneer Society of Southern Oregon will be held iu Ashland on Thursday, the 3rd day of September. There will be a gatlu-riDg of the ploucera at this time, with a aocial and literary program, and a banquet. Oeo Eugle, president of the society, has annoonjd the fol lowing comn,itte if arrangements for the reunion: W. W. Keutoor, K. D. Wagner, Geo. W. Dunn, Mrs. P. Daiiu. Mrs. A. II. Ruse.-11. ELECTION OF NEW POPE Method by which Lao's Successor will b Chosen. On the 10th, "or at the latest, Die 13th day after the death of tho pope, the conclave assembles for tho elec tion of the new pontiff. If precedent is followed, the conclave ia held at the beautiful SIstiue Chapol, ' with in the walls of the Vatican. Each cardinal ia allowed the ser vices of a secretary add an attendant, who, while the conclave lasts, occupy rooms adjacent to the particular cell allotod to their master. Ou the day Bred for the meeting of the conclave, the cardinals assemble to hear special mass of the Holy Spirit and to take the oaths of faithfulness and secrecy. When this ia accomplished, all the members of the various congregations go iu solemn procession, two by two, and followed by the long retinue of attendants, to the conclave, whilo the inspiring train of the "Veui, Creator Splritu" are enacted. Once within the confine of the conclave, the mas sive doors are abut with double locks and from that moment until the new pautiff is elected uo person is per mitted to pass in or out. The meals for the assemblage are prepared within the walls of the Vatican aud are delivered through a wicket gato, or rather casement, let iuto the groat door. It is here, also, that on the first day of the conclave, a committee of cardinals, apimlnted by the whole, body, gives audience to tho foreign envoys. This, however, takes place before the conclave has actually met for the pope's election. The Bistine Chapel Is especially fitted for t.Ke holding of this momentous council of the church. The stalls of the cardinals ranged ou each side, are surmounted by canopies of cloth in the ecclesiastical colors, and at the far end, opposite the high altar, are places assigned to the secretaries. When mass has been said and all Is prepared, tho conclave proceeds to its solemn task. POST OFFICE RE-ARRANGED New Fixtures Installed by Poat- m&sfer Harmon. After the now postoflloo fixtures had been leaning against the office walls in this city for many weeks. Postmaster Harmon last week received instruction from the department for their Installment. Workmen were immediately set to work on the now arrangement of things and the result is a grand Improvement both Iu ap pearance and convenience aud is great ly appreciated by all tho patrons of tho office.

ANNUAL FISHING VISIT Frank Ennls, Formerly of Gallce, Returns Every Year. Frank Ennis has lately returned to Southern Oregou from Calistoga, Cal. , where he has been sojourning for several months tiast and Is now making his annual fishing trip to Ua lice. Many yeara ago Mr. Ennls was superintendent of the Ankeuy mine at Galice, a prnjierty which is now a portion of tho Old Channel mines and later was a rt owner of the same property as one of the firm of Ennis A Cameron. Nearly every year since he was a resident of Gallce ho returns in tho late summer and S nds a few weeks iu fishing and other sports. He has a nat and comfortable cabin on the river near the mouth of Gallce crock aud his long acquaintance with tho habits of the big trout of that por tion of the river makes him an emi nently successful fisherman. Thrown From the Wagon. Willie liurna, the young son of F. O. Hums of the City Meat Market, figured iu what might have been a very serious runaway accident ou Wednesday afternoon of last week. He was with a team and wagou driv ing across the bridge toward town with a load of wood ou the wagon. The team became frightened, prolstbly at the swinging signs, and began to roll while yet on the bridge. Willie was thrown out with violence enough to render him unconscious and grave results were feared for a time, but be yond some bruises aud the shock of the fall his Injuries did uot prove aeri out. The fam ran for quite a dis tauce and was finally captured ou Fifth street by 11. N.

THE SNAKES OF KLAMATH Held In loo High Regard for Use avs Hog Food. Monday's Oregonian publishes a colump concerning a report that Klamath ranchers fatten hogs iu large numbers on snakes and produce prize pork which is marketed in Chicago. Parenthetically, let as state hero that only enough hogs are raised at present (or homo consumption, aud that the quality is sapnrior ou account of the climate, puro water, choice alfalfa and grain, ou all of which they joy fully- luxuriate. But tho report that snakes are fed to tho hogs is a griev ous error not that the omnivorous porker wouldn't readily eat them, but because wo regard them of genu ine value to general health and se curity against the encroachment of rattlesnakes aud noxious vermin. Iinagino the poignant sting that would be imparted to ono, knowing the vir tues of Klamath snnkes, ou seeing buudles of them gathered np with forks and pitched into hogpens, cruelly dumped Into troughs of sour swill, to gratify the voracity of four legged grantors. Would Port landers food their cherished Malteso cats and prize pugdog pups to tho pink salmon of the Columbia? If not, why should they presume that we would destroy a source of perpetual benefit and com fort, even though we might thereby increase tho profits and satisfy the avarice of hog-raisers. ' One man quoted in the Oregnnlau's artlclo hits the nail on tho head, and his words are worth reproducing. The next man the reportor question ed in his search for the truth, said: "Thoro aro lots of hogs, lots of big trout, big lakes and big snakes in Klamath country, but noun of those are so numerous or so big ns tho liars who talk about that region.

The small boys of Albany have awakened and are leading rather a strenous life. The Herald says: A nuinln.r of small hoys In different lrts of town have caught the circus fever and are making high dives end s ides for life and if it Is kept np it will only lie time, and tint very long at that, until some serious accident will tie chronicled. In West Albany the boys have a ros- stretched from the steel bridge to the Curran juature on which the lads slide from the bridge to thn ground, a distance of nearly 100 feet. A few days ago Geo. Maston foil alxiut 20 feet while mak ing the slide, since which time he has occupied his bi d. Iu East Albany the small orchitis have a similar slide from a high limb In au oak tree on which they slide. Ralph Keeves while making a long slide on this c 11 trivauco Saturday fell ten or a down feet and as a result he is now con fined at home with a broken slum bier. As a consequence of these two acci dents the lifo slide business has re ceived a severe aet ltack in Albany. Have youi house painted with Pat ton' a Buuproof Paint. Hold only by Cramer Pro.

At the very top of the long plunk way, as he was about to step upon the platform, ho lost his balance and fell with the wheelbarrow and .load of mortar to the floor joists underneath. He was terribly bruised about tho head and shoulders aud it was thought at first that his leg was brokeu at tho thigh.

NEW QUARTZ LOCATIONS Copper and Gold Ledges Found on Diamond Creek. H. W. Kircheff and Mr. Morrison returned this week from au extended hunting and prospecting tour In the Diamond creek district of Northern California. Diamond oreek has soma note as a mining district of luiportauce and is tho location of tho Clooputra and other valuable prois-rties. The gentlemen found the summer climate of 'that district remarkably enjoyable, had pleuty of vensison and revelled In all the luxuries of camp life. They inudu two mineral locations which promlso well. One is a cops-r pros pect of good promise carrying gratify ing indications of excellence, and the it her is gold quartz, a prois-rty very similar to the Monumental of Hlinlley creek, a big ledge carrying steady values iu profitable quantity. THE GOLD OF APPLEGATE Mllburn Brown Tells of His Bon anza Near This City. The Kugmie Guard has the follow ing Iu regard to the rich strike made 011 Applcguta by Thomasou, llrowu & (liiell, which was chronicled in the Courier a few weeks ago : Mllburn ISrown, an old pioneer of Liiue county who moved to Grants Pass a few years ugo lias struck it rich duriug his proscitiug out there. Ho Informs a Eugeuo friend that with his partners bo has uncovered tho face of a ledge !KI inches wide out there, and it carries free gold all the wuy across Its face. The sample quartz is crystal white and contains the free metal iu pieces as large as grains of wheat. The ore carries values at the ratn of thousands of dollars to tho tou. The owners of tho claim aro jubilant over it and be lievo they have a bouatua. They hava driven in a tunnel to a depth of VI feet which Is practically all the development work that has been done thus far. As this is but one of the several rich finds that have been made on the Apph gate, mining men have been led to turn their attention iu that direction. There aro a large nuinls-r of claims over there being os ned up, and all are making a fine showing. Ira Greuliigur, tho young man who has been under treatment at the Med ford hospital for blood poison, brought about by being shot with a toy pistol, is roirtcd to be doing as well as could be exs-cted outler the cin um stances, aud his physician aud nurses are now very hopeful of his complete recovery.

Riggs enjoyed some big game hunting ia tho Wolf Creek district last week with a small hauling party. Among the trophies of the chase se cured were throe good siscd bear. Quite a nervo testing adventure was experienced by Mr. Rinss. While hunt ing one day, oreeplng through a very dense thicket of nndorgrowth, he was suddenly confronted by a large bear in uncomfortably close proximity. Endeavoring to get his rifle iuto action, that weapon waa so entangled and hampered ou every side aud above aud below by tho thick brush that he was unable to get it turned iu the bear's direction.
