Elis Einbler, one of onr new farmers of this county, made Grants Pass a business trip last Thursday. We are sorrry to state that Mrs. A. H. and Louie Carson have been con fined to their room for several days with grippe. We hope tbey will be aronnd again soon. Jeff Liudsey is constructing for himself a real cosy dwelling lionse on his farm near Murphy, which will add greatly, to the appearance of bis farm. It is. a. story and a half L boilding of 10 rooms. R. F. Lewman has just closed a deal with Willie Farris for his 160 aore farm on Applegate and will pot it into an orchard and a vineyard. No donbt this will make fine fruit farm as ti.e frost seldom touches it. Charles Meserve of the Courier at Grants Pass, was with us last Satur day helping the farmers to get a farmers telephone company started and he also stayed over Sundiy. Mr. Meserve is a hostler and we all, no doubt, appreciate his service. J. T. Payne aud J. Berry, who leased the old Rehkopf hop yard now owned by Sam Provolt, have most of it plowed and pruned. They are both rustlers aud are making a gnod showing in the yard with their work, and no doubt if they keep right on as they have beeu, will raise a fine crop of hops. One of the heaviest snow falls since '89 and '90 took place here this Tues day forenoon. It startled in early in the morn inn with a slight skit Mon day night and foil to a depth of about 11 inches at this place by noon. In the afternoon came a warm wind and by evening the euow was most all gone, it going about as fast as it fell A. H. Carton, the noted grape man of Oregon for raising fine grapes and also who carried off the medal from the Lewis and Clark fair in 1905 at Portland, is shipping thous ands of cuttings this spring to diff erent sections of the country. The first of this week Mr. Carson shipped 20,000 cuttings to Clarence Thomas at Eenuewick, Washington. Most of them aro Rose of Peru and Malagas, which are beiug tried in this locality and Mr. Thcmas wishes to tett their merits in Washington. O. M. Knox finished his contract and completed the Laurel Grove school house last week all but the desks. Tin district Rave a dunce in it last Friday night and a basket sup per and the proceeds went to buy desks. I am informed they took in quite a sum of money. The new school house is a neat little structure and one that every resident of the valley cau well be proud of as it marks the steps of progression. Give us a few more school homes like Pro volt and Laurel Grove and it will add muoli to the looks of our valley. Wright and Hawkins, who recently purchased the Maid of the Mist mine from White & Thurston, have bought all the machinery belonging to the Hieing Star mine located at Williams, which consisted of a five stamp mill, boiler, air compressor and .drills and some other tools about the mine. The machinery will be moved to Thomp son creek as soon as the roads will permit. The mine is located a short dUtauce from Geo. Hoffman's pluce on Tallowboz two miles from Ap plegate postoffice Hud the mill will be placed near it so as to be handy to the ore. E. E. Dixon and Geo. Hall have bought the Challenge mine located at Provolt, on Maple gulch, better known as Riesling gulch, from Sharp Bros., who recently moved to Grants Pbbs and purchased a 60 acre farm one mile East of that place. The new owners are installing a new steam five-stamp mill and the ma chinery is being hauled out to the mine from the Pass as fast as the roads will permit. If the mine runs into base oro, which it is apt to do, a cysnlde plant will be installed wbioh will enable them to handle the ore very easily. Applegate has always been to the front in placer mines and we hope it will soon be to the front in quarts mines. The farmers of 'Applegate valley and Williams met at Provolt last Saturday to bear the teport of the committees on membership and on the cost of phones, insulators and wire. Soma on the committees didn't nnderstand what was meant for them to do, so consequently they oould not do much. E. Badger, E. N. Provolt and J. W. PernoU were put on committee to further investigate the cost of build ing a line from Grants Pass to Will iams and a branch from Provolt to Applegate and Missouri Plat and to try and find ont more thoroughly who are willing to take part in the build ing of the line and report at the meet ing next Taeeday afternoon. A pre liminary organisation was formed and O. O. Biglow of Williams was made chairman fand .B. jf. Lewman socio tary, snd'by-laws were.prellminsrily adopted. Mr. Oium of Grants Pass representing the Bell aud Pacific States Telephone Company waspreseut aud made several propositions to the farmers for bis company. His offers looked very flowery on the outside but behind it was only to down and cut the throat of the movement of the farmers' telephone lines from here aud other places into Grants Pass, and to kill the movement for independent servioe whioh is on foot all over Southern Oregou by the farmers, mill owners and miuers, in its infancy. But .the general verdict of the people of this country is away with the Pacific States Telephone Company and give us a straight out farmers, business men, mill men and miners' line from all parts of this seotiou to Grants Pass, with' the co-operation of the business men of the latter place. We also want a telephone system from Illinois Valley, Wilderville, Mtrlin, Lou's Creek, Lee district, Jones Creek and lower Rogue river sections and we will have a servioe that will be first-class and a system that will help to build up Grants Pass and all the surrounding country. Hooper-op-Bill. THE ORIGINAL. Foley & Co., Chicago, originated Honey and Tar as a throat and lung remedy, and on account of the ereat merit and popularity of Foley's Honey and Tar many imitations are offer d for the genuine. Ask for Foley's Honey and Tar and refuse any substi tute offered as no other preparation will eire the same satisfaction. It is mildly laxative. It contains no opiates and is safest for children aud delicate persons For sale by H. A. Kotermuud. Teachers Salaries Too Small Editor Courier Teachers' salaries are too small considering the oust of living. Directors prefer cheapness to ability. A cheap teacher like the cheap article is a poor investment. Those teaching in the outlying dis tricts should have an especially large salary to compensate for the general dullness, the jolting Btage ride and the bargain sales which are sure to greet ones return to town. There should be a discrimination between the salary of a good teacher and that of a Door teacher. Of course it is conceded that the inferior article may be worth more in that he furnishes grumbling material for the store box philosophers. Why is it that a man usually re cbives a higher salary than a woman for doing the same work? This con dition is not found in states where women vote. One of the Afflicted.

I DAVIDSON Fred Miller of Dry Digging was here a few days ago lookiug after bis mining interests. R. Duulap, who has been mining with Mr. Isham on Woodpecker, made Grants Pass a visit this week. W. S. Bailey has been laid np with a severe attack of grippe during tne past 10 days and is not able to be out of bis room yet. A very pleasant party took place at the residence of Mrs. Kate McFadden on the evening of Miss Elsie's birth day, the 12th init. Tbe Mountain Lion Mining Co. is doing some substantial work prepar atory for the Spring and Summer rnn with their milL The development work is showing np the ore to be ex tensive and this year will be a bosy one for the Mt Lion.' John S. Jensen, one of our old time residents, left for Portland a few days ago on bis way to Washington state to look over that oountry with a view of settling there. John is a square and upright gentleman and we wish him success wherever he goes. Rolla Caris, Joe York and Rolla Doney are digging ditch for Ed Lay ton and others to take water from Applsgate river above Applegate post office and bring to tbe west side district between Applegate and Pro volt for irrigation purposes. The ditch will be some fcur miles long and will cany water enough to ir rigate several hundred acres. We are informed that Peter Bark halter came near having a burnout not long since. It appears that Mr. Burkhalter was about to start out to his work and had lighted his pipe and while arrauging some little detail laid it on the bed. He afterward picked up the pipe and then went out to his work. Peter says that when he had worked for awhile he had some instinctive visitation whioh reminded him that something was wrong at the house and it made such an impression that he went to the house to see and when he opened the door the room was full of smoke aud the bed was on fire. Peter got up motion at once and had the fire under control in short order. If he had remained away for a few mintes longer his house and probably its contents would have been a total loss. Mrs. Yalentina Offenbacher, who resided on the Applegate eight miles above tbh place, died suddenly at her home on Tuesday of lust week of heart trouble. The funeral took place Thursday at Jackonsville, Rev. Robert Ennis officiating. Mrs. Offenbacher was a native of Bavaria and came to Jackson county from Germauy some 40 years ago with her late husband, C. Offenbacher. She was a woman of a g 'nerons nature and ready to help those in sickness or need. She was well educated and in addition to all the womanly virtues was a good manager and after the death of her husband she and her sons successfully managed one of the bast farms in this valley. Three sous sur vive her, ' Fred, Henry aud John Offenbacher, who reside at the home place. Mrs.. James O'Brien, residing near Applegate, is the only daughter. E. N. Provolt, one of Provolt's en terprising rustlers, is, ont for the nomination of county commiFsioncr and as the Applegate and Williams Creek Valleys embrace a large area of taxable property and the people are indirectly heavy coutribatora towards the nplmildiug of the county seat, we are certainly entitled to a com missioner in this art of the comity. And the voters will do well by both nominating and electing Mr. Provolt to that office. As It is now both com missioners reside on the Grants Pass and Waldo road aud that part of the county gets the big end of tin road fund, though Applegate Valley is by far the larger taxpayer of the two sections of the coonty. Mr. Provolt is a strong advocate of good roads, and being a heavy taxpayer he favors the county employing a road master and having a crew of men to do the principal roadwork, with the aid of improved machinery. Mr. Provolt is in favor of putting roads on the short est distance possible so as to not have farmers do unnecessary traveling to reach market and be would have all heavy grades brought down so that loaded teams oould draw a full load over a road without nnloadiog or doubling at tbe bills.
