Goodrich, the assistant manager of the Pacific States Telephone Com pauy, made Murphy, Williams and Provolt a business cull in the interests of his company this week and to es tahlish a rural telephone system among the progressive fur men of the Applegate and Williams Valleys. The proposition now before us is one of the best ever offered by the company and the expense Is very low. When the Hue is turned over to the fanners they get full charge and receive all tolls taken by the present office to help pay the necessary expenses which may come in connection with the line. The company offers the low rental of 5 per year if 25 members are secured along the line. Now, why not put our shoulders together as one great body and bave our valley one among tbe first to have this great telephone system and bring the Applegate Valley to the front, which is growing day by day into one of the largent hay growing valleys in the state. The Applegate is also adapted to fruit. grapes and berry railing which is superior to that of any state in the onion, but there is one thing lacking that is the connection of a telephone svstem with the business men of Grants Pass. Thoi. Lewman and E. N. Provolt of Provolt have taken great interest in the aeelopment of tbe valley and will have a phone in connection with their business inter' est and it it hoped many more will help In tbis good work.

All that was saved was a aewins machine and an organ. The amount destroyed will be considerable - as ' Mr. - and Mrs. Gotcher are both along in yeats and will take many yeara to regain what they have lost Hop picking is again close at hand and hop pickers ars a little back ward about sending in their applica tions for jobs. It is thought by the bop growers that pickers will ' be scaroe owing to the large amount of fro it, berries and other garden pro duce requiring attention.
