Through tho agency nf th league tho county court would lis kept Informed of needed measures and the league would sea that there li no mifUHu of appropriations that are iiiudu by tlio couuty bonrd for public Improvement. There are leaks from the public, tieusury in ways that lievei coiuo to tho know ledgn of thocnuiily board. There bavo been iustiiiiccs spoken of whero men bavo deeded tbolr iiroperty to oilier licrsuns to be supported for tho renin iniler of their lived mid bavi) then been placid in the poor bouse to be supported at the public expense.

None would belter appreciate tin services of an organiul ion of this uaturo than the members of tin onunty board tliuinsulves. The propo sition Is a good one and It Is to ti IiojkmI that it will be taken up by the taxpayers and the Iciigun formed. Tho persistent nlerenco to the Hucker cluck find us a "pocket," la tho many news items which aru now iu circulation concerning it, Is ex tremely exasperating to thoso who want to see tho mineral industry develop In this section and who are aware of all that .Southern Oregon bus suffered by the word. The topulnr conception of a pocket is u small detached deposit of gold which may bo nil dug out in a few ibiys. - HI course there are pockets and pockets and the llnillng of a deposit of rich ore Iu a ledge of gold bearing rock Is afar dilfereut thing from llndlng a detached purl Inn, perhaps a rich quartz boulder which may have slid or rolled a long distance fiom the main body. Tho new II ml is on a ledge. It Is between walls and it has future as well as a present. The ore of quarts ledges seldom runs in steady values and when a phe nonieiially rich "bunch," like the re cent find, occurs iu a ledge it is olton termed a pocket. Tho term is well enough when used by those who are versed In such mutter but tin word is not one to be turned In ise on a public that has no knowledge of mineral cnditim s. A great deal more Is known concerning pockets than was known 10 years ago. Many men bavo dug out so-called pockets and uliaudniied places which were later r j-located and proved to be valuable mill, s.

Leslie Kuiley, and wife of Jackson ville, are visiting relatives at Provolt this week. L. W. Km I th the Provolt merchant made a business trip to Grants Pass Friday to ; nrchase some groceries for his store. Mrs. M. Lcosrli of Provolt has been very sick with the chills the last few days. Mr. L. lias also been quite sick villi the same complaint Miss Florence Letlkeu of Grants I'ass was at Provolt Thursday and Friday visiting with her grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Ham Provolt. Miss L. reports that her new home at Grants Pass is quite nice. There nro many cases of sickness iu the valley, on account of such changeable weather. The 24 lb there was a little frost, the 2 2d it was qnite foggy, on the 2:ird it was very hot with a wild north wind. This is the first season iu Oregou that the old settlers of this valley have seen so much wind. It is equal to eastern Oregon or Sliasly valley, CaL, to certain extent Tho Powell Creek Lumbering Com pany of Provolt had bad lock Friday iftcruoon while busy sawing, the feed pinion gave way, which will lay the mill idle for a day or two, al though it will givo the loggers a chance to get shrad hauling logs. when they start op the mill. They saw tn mako up lost time. They will have to send the feed pinion tc Ashland and havo one uiado at the foundry. Tlio ball game of lust Sunday was oiih of the games that was worth look ing at. The game was played be tween Provolt and Missouri Flat, and the two teams played as though they were playing for money, which made it int'Telsing for the onlookers. The pitchers did fino work on both sides, Provolt bus a new catcher, Lester I.iiyton. The score stood 2 to 4 in favor of Provolt. We have learned that Provolt will play Grants Pass soon. Tho Little Pocket quartz mine is now being worked. The owners of this proMTty have been doing good work the past two weeks, from the report of their shots. The people of our neighborhood are quite excited over the report of the big find by liriggs on Sucker creek. There ought to be a big ledge for someone else lying near. We are glad the boy made such a wonderful flud for we know what boulder rolling is by ex pone nee. The school election of districts 8 and 11,1 was hold June 20, IIMVI, at 2 o'clock and caused as much excite ment as tl o county lection, June fl. One delegate was out talking iu bis district and was elected by a large majority . If an office conies to a man, there is honor in It, bnt if be rims after the oflice, there is none. lucre was one clerk, three directors to bo elected one for three years, one for two years and one for one year ; the clerk was elected for the usual tune. The farmers of tlio valley are be ginning to gather the cattle op to drive to the mountains of Gray back, win re they will stay till September, or October. The first stopping place is at the Provolt sheep ramp ou the south side of the mountain, some five miles from Steamboat, and 13 miles from Williams. There the snow ran bo had the year around I lid water that is cold as ice itself. This suow is in a low basin of not over 100 feet in length and WI feet ill depth and tho snow is some 20 or 30 feet lepth. A liner summer resort could not be found elsewhere. Tbeio is snow and icewater and plentv ef nice shade which is equal to any California resort mentioned. Woodvllle Items. Mis. Wilt was iu Grants Pass Wed nesday on business. Mrs. II.

The dedication of the Hope Presby- rian church took place ou Sabbath afternoon of the '.'itili, with appro priate exercises. The congregation filled the house and the music and the riuou were excellent and f.'3-aO were taken as a freewill offering for the parsonage fund, as the church was ledioaieit free from debt. Rev. C W. Hays and Kev. W. O. Couuell aud Dr. Holt of Portland took pari iu the service. The Uethauy church choir rendered excellent service, for which we are truly thankful. Order M-als and A. K. Vooibies. mbb r ttauipe of Merlin ileme. Sadie Lowden is visiting at Grants Pass. 'Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Massie were at the Pass Monday. We wonder when the M. E. church is going to be moved.

A few attended, it being too warm to dance. Agaiu we say we are going to cele brate aud all are invited, dispositions to the contrary notwithstanding. Pionic-oolebratiou will be the order besides the usual sports. Hev. Mears anuouoced . that he would pleach at Wildirville next Sunday and celebrate the 4th there. We are wishing that some other pluns could ba made for we Deed him here at home. Our genial and beloved postmaster, J. U. Lanteruian, has recently occu pied the new postoflice building. It is more cnuveuient for both pe'ple aud postmaster aud is a credit to the energy aud care taken by Mr. Later man as well as a credit to the city of Merlin. The gold find recently reported from Sucker! ?) creek might not bavei been surpassed in the history of gold hunting, but the stories told by some of the older minors, make the large nuggets look like dust. Some miners can do other things besides mining. For instance, tell the tra b(?) L. A. Marsters of CTevland, Ore gon, lias purchased the proprety be longing to Mr. Wooilwortli at Hefniug aud will farm the same with a flock of goats. Ho has a nice flock of goats and will clean op the aci with them. Mr. Marsters also contem plates moving bis family to Merliu aud will be a factor for good in Ibis community. Mr. Wnodworthw ill move on to his homestead claim adjoining the tract just disposed of to Mr. Marsters. Rev. J. W. Nceley occupied the pulpit of tho Muthodist church Sun day aud in I lie evening gave bis lec ture entitled, "The Boy Problem." It was by far the best lei lure that Las been given here, accord og to the opinion exuressed by thoso who have expressed themselves at all, and we think the lecture presentable any where aud at any time. Mr. Nee ley was "fine" and is highly appreciated here as a preacher. May be come among us again. Lele-nd Sidings People are very busy haying. Maekeu tiros, bad a valuable horse badly hurt iu a runaway. Some strangers of the feminine order are making our town a visit. Our neighbors are at peaco; no strife, no takliug among the women. Goo. South was down from Green back, be roMirts lively times at that mine. Mr. Ilrown made us a call from Hugo last week. He is Hugo's merchant. Mining business Is lively. Down Grave creek a largo amount of ditch ing is being dnue. Fred Milton from Placer is making Lelaud a visit. He is running toe Browning hotel and reports business good. Geo. W. Chapin has blackberry bushes of this year's growth, that are nine feet high. If anyone can beat that, let us kuow. Colonel Ulaisdell is bringing on a ditch for his placer mine; ho is look ing for a cook ; be wants a French cock, ouo that understands his busi ness. We a1 o receiving some newcomers of the laboring class. They come to work in the summer, iu the fall will and take what money they have earned, to some other place. Wo have no sickness to report, as we do not bavu stagnant water to create lever. O, drinking out of our cold springs, makes one feel that this country is worth living in yet. A Frenchman came through our couutry looking for a frog rauch He can find all kinds of frogi that he wants, but he said this country is too drv to piodueo heavy, fat frogs. They want plenty of water, near reeks or irrigation. He wants to start a frog ranch near Leland. Wo ro having dry, wenthtr. Kain would be very acceptable. The weather is not very warm as in some places, a cool breeze blows in the afternoon. Crops will be good, but the weather is dry, so it will shorten the spring sown grain. Wide Awake.
