Ed Harriott, the Williams stago driver, had a narrow escape on Thurs day from serious injury by a vicious horse. The animal is one which is driveu in his team, and he entered tho stall ignoring, for tho moment the animal's peculiarities. The horse began kicking at Harriott in tho nar row stall. He was struck on the arm, the blow bruising the member severely mid all but breaking the bono. A particularly vicious kick caught the leg of Ills trousers, tear ing the garment iu a ruinous man nor. Harriott finally escaped by crawling under the manger and a lit tle later untied tho animal and gave it a few lessons on the advisability of more orderly deportment. Clothesline Robbed. The clothes line robbers are again heard from. This time they helped themselves to tho clothes on Mrs. O. V. Clement's lino Saturday night, taking everything on the linn as far they went and stopping only when be ing frightened away, which event onlv, is responsible for having sated Mrs. Clement a portion of her washing. Not loi.g ago, mens' apparel was taken from the P. II. Hurth clothes line which was probably the work of tramps, but this was not the work nf hobos as there was no sorting dono. Tho perpetrators were tracked quite a distance aud it has been reported that their identity was discovered. Mrs. Clement says she has no desire to pros ecute, but sho wants her clothes and expects to havo them returned to her. That Grants Pass, is the great mill ing center of Southern Oregon, has been recently corroborated by tho ex ecutive committee of the Oregon state Miners' Association, deciding to hold a convention at Grants Pass next fall. And that Grants Pass is the greit dental center of Southern Oregon, is corroborated by the fact that there are more dentists in Grants Pass than in any other city in Southern Ore gon, and from the farther fact that there are dentists in Grants Pass, of supirior qualification, ingenuity, skill and ex!K.rieucv, who are prepared to do any kind of difficult cases of dentistry or remedv any kind of failures, of other dentists, that can be accomplished in the largo cities. Hence they draw work from quite a distance. Within tho past week Dr. Jennings has had two very difficult cares of dental work, from parties who reside much nearer Ashland, Medford aud Jacksonville than Grants Pass. They were parties who had failures from other dentists. They received work that gave them entire satisfaction here.

OWNS HIS WATER PLANT O. Lund Making a Handsome Ple.ce on Iowa Street. O. O. Lund, who last year pur chased the Cochran place on Iowa street, is making it one of the hand somest among, the homes near town. The situation is a beautiful one, the slope of the ground being very sym metrical, and the building lite is one of the handsomest of the vicinity. Siuce acquiring this property, Mr. Lund has remodeled the bouse and made a number of additions to the buildings. He has cleared the ground of the stumps which marred the ap pearance of the jfiace and has dug up the poorer trees of the long neglected orchard and trimmed aud pruned the remaiuder into a far better appear ance and prospeot of profitable fruit crops. He is now preparing to en close his place with a neat wire fence. He will plant an avenue of rose bushes between the house aud the front gate and pround the about the residence will be seeded for a lawn. The most noteworthy of the im provements which Mr. Lund has in stituted on his place is the water system. He baa a water plant that will furnish an ample supply of water for domestic use and for the small amount of irrigatioa that the ground needs to 'make it produce in abundance. The water is pumped from the well into a tank, the power being furnished by a two horse power gasoline engine. The tank has a capacity of 106 barrels and is of suffi cient height to cover the greator por tion of the place. It is filled by a double aotion force pump which throws a continuous stream. Pipes lead from the tank in different di rections and about 000 feet of pipe will be UBed. This water system is one that could be used with good effect on a great many of the places of this valley. If more of the residents would take the pains to beautify their homos that Mr. Lund is doing, the good effect could not be computed. Nature has done her part toward making, this the most beautiful country in the world and hor efforts should be supplement' ed by those of the resideuts. This ought to be made a country of beauti ful homes. TRIED TO ROB UNCLE SAM Burglars Force Open Rear Door of Poet-Office. An attempt to burglarize the post office was mado early Monday morn ing. When the postmaster reached the office he found that the back door had been forced but u ono seems to have entered aud it isthonght that the bur glars got faint hearted in the moment of success or were perhaps frightened away by the approach of some ono. 1 lie back door is doublo aud was locked by means of a bar reaching across both doors. A crowbar had been inserted in tho center crack and the doors pried outward with tho effect bending the bar by which they were locked. W. L Sweetland's dogs in tho rear of his moat market which adjoins tho post office were found that morning in an apparently excited couditiou, with their noses close to the corner toward tho rear of tho post office, and it is thought the attempt mnst have been made shortly beforo opening iu tho shop. There is to clow to the bur glars. Tho crowbar with which the door was forced is tho property of John Nalowski and was taken by tho burglars from among his tools. PERISHED IN THE SNOW Such Is Thought to Be the Fo.to of A N. Dro-ke. A. N.
