There was a social dance at Mr. Hab
erman's near Laural Grove Saturday
night and everyone that I saw report
having had a good time.
The 8rd crop of hay is growing fine
and some of it will be ready to cut in
two weeks. The smoky weather is
good for hay that i growing bnt
makes it hard to cure when cut.
Word was reoeived from Joe McFad
den who went to Nome, Alaska, this
summer that work is scarce in that
plaoe this summer and that they have
not had any summer rains at all so far
and if it does not rain the mines will
do nothing much this season.
Applegate River is the lowest this
summer that it has been for many
years owing to the many ditches that
are taken out of it . It will not be
many years before it will be entirely
dry and then you will begin to hear
them quarrel about one another taking
more than their share.
We are all looking forward tor the
Rural Route np this side of the river
and hope that the proper number of
names on be got on the petition. It
requires the hada of 100 families on
the petition before they will grant us
a route. We have tried several other
kinds of petitions but so far have failed
to have any of them granted.

The prunes and pears are more then
average this season and many trees are

cent years. There will be many young

class if tbd lice and rust bold off a lit

souri Flat were at Applegate and Pro
volt this week getting signer for a

at a time. We have started to estab
lish a rural telephone line in the Ap
plegate Valley. Let' shove the enter
prise to the front and don't get mixed
np with other lines until the rural tel
ephone is a suooess, and then shove the
rural mail route to the front. J.
Goodrich has secured the 25 members
along the line aud phones will, later
be placed at the homes of the members.
Provolt is the banner district of the
valley for the product of corn and
fruits this season. Corn Is the heavi
est yield this season than it has been
in years, which wili remind the old
corn raisers who come up the valley
of Iowa or Missouri, the famous corn
states of tl union. J. A. Lewman
and sons, f.ue a small patch of three
acres which stands from six to 13 feet
in height and was planted from colled
seed. This corn is grown on heavy
clay soil which in frrzen weather runs
together like lava or the slimes of a
tailing dump from muddy water. The
stalks each contains from two to six
ears and a'e large and well formed.
E. M. Spencer also has a large patch
of corn which will equal any raised in
the state. It is average size in height
and good quality. Provolt has a floe
olimate but is very warm in snmmer
which piake it a good corn growing
district
