Its been tome time since we've'seen
an item from Murphy, bat neverthe
less we're still in the Hug.
Dick Jennings has moved np near
Tolo where he will work in the placer
mines this Winter.
We thought the storm would stop
lumber haoling for awhile, but
sues not. There has been a load or
so hauled most every day.
Oene Hayes says he is through lum
ber hauling for this season and will
begin farming soon. Andy Fields
is in Jackson ooonty looking after
bis mining Interests'there.
We're having some of the finest
weather you ever saw for docks, but
say t the farmers will have no excuse
for sitting aronnd the fire when this
rain is over, because plowing will be
gin in earnest.
The Davidson and Laurel Grove cor
respondents have moot) to say about
their large carrots and beets but why
don't they say something a boot their
potatoes. I'll bet its because they
haven't any, or perhaps they are
afraid to tell how large they are.
Ed Swlnden and James McFadden
passed through this week with the
hay baler. They say they are doue for
this season. They have been baling
about three months. XYZ.
Haaxvi Siorma in the Willamette
Valley.
The excessively heavy rains that
nave prevailed in the Willamette Val
ley during the past few days have
caused all the streams to be turned in
to raging torrents and has blockaded
the SuDtheru Paoiflo south from Pert
land. Bridge, in several places near
Jefferson have been partially swept
away. The bridge across the South
Sautiam on the Wcodhum and Matron
branch was swept away Wednesday
and trafllo is iutirwl blocked until a
temporary structure can be built.
The bridge over the Mollalla near
Oanby is utiHafe. A huge log boom at
Lebauon broke and thousands of feet
of timber have been sent down the
river. Several bridges in Clackamas
county and at Gladstone as well as
the O. W. P. bridge near Portland
are almost in a state of collapse.
Remember that you ron no risk iu
buying goods from me as I guarantee
all goods as represented and I am re
sponsible to you for the amount.

Schuyler Morey's infant is slowly
progressing, after a bard stroggle
between life and death.
Mr. Hoock is expecting hi son-in-law,
Mm Charley and wife and baby,
on a visit now at any time, xneir
home is in Jackson county, near Med
fold. Mr. Babcock is expecting a sister,
a niece and ber husband and a nephew
from the East scon. Oregon's tem
perate zone has a fascination for them,
as they expct to make their homes
here.
Mrs. . Spe nee was made happy a
short time ago by the arrival of her
sister, Mrs. Rachel Tipton and brother
Lafe. Many years have elapsed since
the two sisters met and very pleaeant
was the reunion.
Mrs. Strong has just had a neat
residence erected, the work being
done by Mell Gates. And still the
progression goes on, as Bruce Kitter
man has just built a house. He hopes
in the future to complete it in good
shape. Mart Gates did the work.
The party at Mr Kitterman's on
the 20tb, Viola's birthday, was quite
well attended. All appeared to be
happy. Mr. Griflin, having an eye
for business, took five ladieB. The
lunch served by the ladies was gener
ously contributed and appreciated by
all.
Why will people complain abont oar
dancing parties, when it is the only
thing offered to bring frieuds and
neighbors together. There have been
some very unbecoming remarks made
about the social parties in the neigh
borhood, which are wholly without a
foundation. These persons will find
they have gained nothing by their
falsehoods and lost much for them
selves, for one falsehood will be the
means of forever disproving that
person. The danoing they will find
will still go on and all their talk will
avail them nothing. HAPPY.

good. . -mm. -.-fcJi
Miss Fioronce Lettken of Williams
is now at Provolt where she will
make her home this Winter with ber
grandfather, Sam Provolt of this
place.
The postofflce bas changed hands
and the postofflce and store have been
moved to the corner of the Williams
and Applegate roads by permit of the
government in behalf of .Mrs. Green,
the new postmaster of Provolt.
Chas. Fields of Provolt is very low
with typhoid fever. We hope his" re
covery will come soon. There are
several cases in the Valley and many
more are expected, owing to the stag
nant irrigating water throughout the
Valley.
Dave Vinyard, ona of Williams
thrifty stockmen and cabbage raisers,
was in Grants Pass Friday with- a
load of oabbage which will excel any
grown in Josephine connty for its size
and quality. Call on Tbos Lewman
for red cabbage for salads.
Remember the meeting of the Fruit
Growers Union at Grants Pass, Nove
mber 13, and learn what is needed to
make our roads better by Hon. E. N.
Provolt and bow hard it is to make a
grape field produce, from the exper
ience and troubles of a beginner in
grape growing by Hon. R. F. Lew
man. All are invited.
Will Jones of Provolt, who has
spent the Summer in the Eastern
Oregon country returned last week,
being called home by sickness. Mr.
J. reports that work was abundant
and men could not be had, he also
states that wages were from $3 to
(3.35 per day and many tons of hay
still remained in the fields.
A bear hnnt was reoeutly plauned
and carried out by the Provolt Bros,
and Thos. Lewman of this place.
While in the 3 ray back mountains
gathering cattle tbey discovered
where Mr. Bruin was feasting on
the carcass of a oow which died some
few weeks ago. Being satisfied that
he made his headquarters still there
they set a trap, whloh was soon fonud
by Mr. Bruin, Jr. In the morning
about daylight the hoys went to where
the trap was set and their oaptive
was found very mad aud uneasy some
30 steps away. To see some fun tbey
turned their cattle dogs loose to give
Mr. Bruin a flirht, but the fight was
not as expected aud the bear got one
of the dogs down aud to save the dog
from death, E. N. Provolt ran iu aud
knocked the bear loose with the stock
of his guu by punching him in the
jaw, which made the brute more
fierce than ever. The boys wer not
yet satisfied and to finish turned the
dogs loose agaiu. The dogs were
more careful, but the bear's long,
slender foot caught oue of the dogs
bti t was shot before any damage to
the dog could be dune. The bear was a
young on 3 aud dressed about 150
pouuds. It was caught at the Rose
cabins about 30 feet from the road at
the head of Thompson creek.
Readers of the Courier, I will ouce
more start the news from Provolt for
the Winter months as work is mostly
over and give you an idea of what
Provolt is doiu and tell you about
the new creamery which will be
erected here by the 1st of January at
the farm of E. N. Provolt, which is
the center of the Applegate Valley.
The dairy business is what the
farmers need in the Valley, but owing
to the long distance of shipping the
cream, it seemed that a profitable
business oould not be established with
out a creamey at home, so everything
was made to hay and sold to the
Orauts Pass trade, but in 1U07, many
are planning to take op the dairy buBi
oess aud milk cows aud feed their
h iy. Provolt is also going to estab
lish a rural telephone svttem which
will be Operated before Jannarv 1 and
which is greatly needed bv the eiti
leus of the Valley for siekuess, busi-
, ness ana an other necessary commuui
icatious for which a phoue is used
, among friends and neighbors and dis-
taut relations. It will also save many
doctor bills and other expenses which
j without a phoue would ofteu be ne
elected. So now let us farmers at
Provolt, Williams, Murphv and Ap
plegate get together aud "make our
galley stand among the first, as we
I have good soil, pleuty of wster and a
land which will support many dlftVr
'ent kinds of indutrie
