Chapin Meta Death Neo.r the Long Treatle at Lelevrtd. Geo. W. Ohapin, for many years a resident of Josephine connty, living on bis farm near Tunnel 9, was ran over and killed by the local freight Friday afternoon near the long trestle at Leland. Cbapin was seen by the train crew to step or fall on to the track about two car lengths ahead of tbe engine. The emergency brakes were applied bat owing to the heavy train and the second engine palling ahead it was impossible to bring the train to a stop until several cars had passed over him, completely severing all tbe limbs from tbe body. Coroner Smith was notified and went immedately to tbe scene and reenred the testimony of the train crew and others and decided that as the evidence pointed to accidental killing it was unnecessary to hold an inquest. ; The deceased was G4 year of age, a veteran of the oivil war and for many - years a correspondent of the Courier, signing himself as "Wide Awake." We have no means at band of knowing how many years he has written Leland Sittings for tbe Oonrier, as he was one of tbe oldest correspondents when tbe present proprietor became connected with tbe paper nearly 10 years ago.

PASS, OREGON, SEPTEMBER A Brief Record of Local Events. M. A. Leach, manager of the Lanioine Lumber Company at La mo ine, CaL, arrived in Grants Pass Monday and purchased the lumber of tbe Keterson & Sllsby and the Harmon & Hinkle mills. He left south Tuesday morning. No better opportunity on he coast presents itself for a safe investment than the building of an electric rail road from Grants Pass, Oregon, to this place. It bas been proven that a route is feasible for a steam road and with tbe large streamsRogue, Illinois and Smith Rivers, and their tributaries to derive power from offers tbe best of opportunities for an elec tric road. The country a road would pass through is rich in mineral, tim ber, fruit, farming and grazing lands, that today is not put to use due to the lack of transportation facilities. Rec ord, Crescent City. A. L. Smith Is doing the kind of promoting that will do much toward bringing about the development of tbe vast mineral resources of Southern Oregon for be is inducing practioal mining men to come and locate and engage in aotive mining operations. The latest mining man to come here is J. A. MoKlnley, of Cripple Creek, Colo. Mr. McKlnely is a miner of exporienoe and has means and came here to locate. He is so well pleased that be has sent for his family and will take up his residence in this city. He thinks that Southern Ore gou has a good showing for becoming a rich mining district when once it is fully developed. Clyde Jeter, who went to the new mining distriot on Pine creek in the Southern part of Lake oounty and in .Northern Nevada, writes to Ms par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Jeter of tbis oity, that he shall be home so soon as Winter sets In which will be in November. During the Winter months owing to tbe high elevation tbe snow falls very heavy in tbe Pine creek section making it impossible to do outdoor work or get in supplies. SotgTeat has been the rush of pros ectors to Pine Creek distriot this ummer that Mr. Jeter states that there la not a vaoaat claim within five miles of where he is located. Tbe claims prospect well but no big finds have yet been made. . of NEW (GOODS A week devoted to buying the Fall stocks for the Dry Goods, Furnishing and Shoe Departments of The Sugar Pine Store, has produced a vast array of good values that cannot be equalled in any other store in Southern Oregon.
