Ernest Reynold! will take charge of hit father'! ranch tbli year while Mr. Reynold! Hr. will devote bii time to ooppnr mining in the Oregon mount ain. Ignata Euopke "baKged"a big lynx Sunday. This la quite a aorpriie an we wera ouaware that any of thW ipecle abounded here. Mra. Uertrode Webb gave a aooial diiiuur to a happy throug who iar prled her last Hunday Say "fel Urn," let! go again I A good many strangurs hare been going la and out of onr valley lately aud people are wondering what it means. Yea we woudur. Another good niau la reported in ODf town. He ucoeedited In buttoning op bia wife'! dress in the back with out iwearing. L. R. Webb ipent two day! In the Smith river country. It ii not very bard for mining men to guees what L. R.ia after. It is all right for a woman to sup port ber busl nad, bat then we think he ought to help her cut the wood. What is this mugio we hear, far sweeter than the birds of Springtime, that makes oar pulse quicken and our hearts gladden and we imagine the Hps of heaven and earth are aboot to meet? It is the command of "Red Cloud" as his forces throw IS inch shells into the camp of the Timber grafters, tio it, old niaD, and let our next shot be a poem something like this: "Thieves to rigl't of u, thieves to left of os, thieves in front of us, stole and plundered." Another story, very similar to the oft repeated old one coiuot from MesxrH. Lang and Knopke, who have had mining claims on the head waters of Smith River for over five years. Yes, they were located on by people who never saw the country and where there Is not enough timber for mining purpOHeg. How long must these things be? Mr. Knopke nays that one loccator hag been to his cimp on Saddle Rar, saw him miuiug, saw the gold he was taking out, saw his notices, broke his bread, shared his hospitality and located a school ma'am's timber claim on top of his mine, where it was imposHible for her to get in aud view the claim she was taking. Everyone in Elk Vallev knows how long Mr. Knopke has been on these claims one placer and two quartz, and all know that the country is utterly inaccegsible to women and besides no woman ooold oome into the country without the settlers knowing it. EBKN. t WILDEKVIL LE 1 Mrs. Molirlde received the sad news of her sister's death, which ocurred recently in North Carolina. A man from Deer Creek was pass ing throogh here lunt Sabbath and whils uear the Chauey Creek bridge be undertook to take his gum coat off while riding along and the bone got frightened and threw the man and hort bis ankle pretty badly. Mrs. E. Woodard got a letter from her brother George at Fall City that he bad cat bis leg pretty badly and feared blood poisoning. Mr. Akers preached Sunday, the 7th at Wilderville chnrcb. Minnie Zimmerman has gone to Grants Pais after visiting relatives near Wilderville several days. Grandma Earrough has gone home down Rogue river, after visiting at Scott Robinon's several weeks. John, Burton, Boyd and Paul Rob iuson are having the meaeels. Gay Bnell passed through here last Sabbath with his little wagon polled by bis faithful dng. He had his camping outfit, going to the sawmill up Chancy creek. The Chaney Creek saw mill made a short run Tuesday of this week, saw ing enough lumber to make their bank lionee. A few of the yonint folks had a lit tle play party at J. Ilocking'i Krid- j ay eveniug of last week. We are having queer weather for : this time of the year. UXLCE PULLER. a t LAUREL (i 110 YE ! v Raiu, rain, again and miners are still working away and expect a good cleanup this Spring and farmers are looking for good crops this Summer I as the late rains will keep the ground wet till late. Fruit trees are getting in full bloom but if Jack frost visits our burg this Spring we will be minus some peaches. Willard Topping was visiting the writer one day last week aud says he has got the chills and fever. I guess we all know what that is. Wardie Hyde is working on the ditch for Mrs. II. T. Day. M. Haberuian, Evan aud daughter Anna paid your city a visit one day last week. J. L. Williams returned to bis home last week, after an absence of a mouth in various pltoes, nit says he is glad to get back to this beaatiful valley, where everything Is green and thrifty and where the peach trees are blooming and birds singing. He says be foond no cook so be thinks there is no place like home, sweet home. A surprise party was given at Charles Swinden'g last Friday night and games were played and a general good time waa bad by all prseut. Ring, ring! Just listen to the phone, will yon? Someone talking all the time these rainy days. Why is it that a man with capital can commit a crime and only pay a fine aud perhaps jget a yeai or two in the pen, while a poor man, who does the same crime is sent to the pen for life, perhaps. Now, it looks as if money aud unjust officials were the cause of it all. Whr not start in with the rich class and make an example of some of them, instead of putting everything on the poor dims of people? Take the grafters of timber aud fellows who plunder lor gain in the city. Do they get the same Jjuu ihhiuent that the poor man would? No, because he has money to bribe aud bay attorneys aud witui saes aud get off easy, but the poor man eeud lum up. Is it just?, Ed Swiuden bought a nice pau of horses recently for which be paid foliO but they are a fine team though aud young horses too. Seem to me "Windy" of Kubli is a little hasty in regard to "Red Cloud" sitting in hi back yard aud not working for the R. F. D. k I have been helping it as much as possible and am ready to see "Windy" help some too. "Shorty" says "age before beauty" if that be the case, I do not see where he comes in, do you? Jus. J. Mcr addeu aud brother Pat passed through our busy burg last Saturday evening, goiug to the dance at Rose's hall. Amos Williams and H. T. Day were visitiug at our reporter's last Satur day night. Several of our farmers are going in to the dairy business this Summer, aud believe it will be a profitable veutore. Among them are Fred Kuox aud Mr. Haberuian. These gentlemen both have a bunch of first-clsss dairy cows and have pleuty of alfalfa and clover, pasture aim hay and there fore are prepared to dairy right and The Last Chance Is when you go down to the river to take a cool glass of Soda water, Milkshake, Ice Cream Soda or a dish of Ice Cream. The First Chance Is when you cotne back to get the same thing Where ? Setting On corner of Sixth and L Streets, room Ice Cream Parlors. Everything Manufactured in our own Factory At Ujq Grants Pass Bottling Works at a small outlay in regard to hay and pasture. The later rains caused the Ditch Co. to suspend cleauing ditch for some tiuid. News is scarce as hens teeth this week. RED CLOUD. DAVIDSON. T. H. Peterson wa9 visiting on this side of the river Sunday. We have been having some more rain of late and it raised tbe river qaite a lot. J. T. Cook and family and Ike Vincent and Eartie Davidson were all visitors from here to Grants Pass Fri day also Pat aud Jas. J. McFadden. It does not look as though the miners in this vicinity would get to clean op at all this season as the late Spring rains that we are having keep the supply of water up fine. Frank M. York who has been sick for the last two or three weeks is not improving very fast at present but we all hope to Bee bim np and around soon Tbe farmers in these parts are not getting along very fast with their plowing at present owing to tbe recent rains aud if it keeps np very lunch longer theywill have to quit trying to sow grain and put what ground is left in corn. It sems as though "Windy" was having a great .time trying .to hear from rovolt correspondent. It looks to me like be would telephone to him as there is a good chance now since they have got the Applegate Tele phone installed on this side of the river. Mr. Cnley aud Herman Offenbacher took a fine lot of beef cattle t.rimi. Davidson Thursday. They Were taking them to W. L Sweetland of Urants rass. Joe. S. York who has been down at Grants Pass for the last two or three days on business passed through onr little Ibnrg Saturday. He says they are getting along fine with their hop yard at present and also getting the rest of the farm in shape for the Summer. We noticed a small item in the Kubli News stating that Jthe dance at Mr. Haberman's would be on the 18th ef this month which we are sorry to say was a mistake. It will be Fri day night tbe 19th instead of Thurs day the 18th. Be sore and do not for get tbe date now and come as a good time is anticipated. "Shortv" seems to still have a pick at me in regard to my fences. I am getting my fenoes In pretty good shape now and will soon have tliero so tbat I am not ashamed for even him to see them. But from what I have seen of that 40 acre farm that he has taken ap it Deeds a fence worse than my whole 330 acres do. He is patting ont a strawberry patch at present and has not even got a sign of a fence. So do not say any thing more about my fence until you get your berry pacth fenced and then you can start to work on my fenoe again. MONIY. ...m.
