Mrs. Eisman had a very enjoyable trip, one of the interesting features to her beiug the orchards, which she found to not equal those of Rogue River Valley in thriftiness or in crop of fruit.. D. H. Eisman returned Monday from Corvallis where he attended the commencement exercises of the Ore goo Agricultural College, of which he was a student, but resigned to come home this Spring to assist his brothers in the care of their big orchard.

Their plaoe is situated only about 40 miles from Glendale in an air line bot they have to travel by team to Grants Pass, thenoe to Crescent City and then up the coast requiring traveling about 170 miles.

The ball game at Medford kit San- day between Grants Pass and Med ford was undoubtedly the best game played in Southern Oregon this sea son, it being fall of life and singer from start to finish. The first score was made by Grants Pass in the sec ond inning while Medford never saw home till the eighth, when "Pub" Isaacs rapped one ont for three bases and scored, his being the only three base hit daring the game. At the end of the ninth the game was still a tie and neither tsam scored till the 11th when Medford brought in the extra run which won the game, with a final score of 2 to 1. This makes the second 11 inning game played by these two teams this year, the first being won by Grants Pass with a score of 8 to 9. The Medford and Grants Pass teams ill not play again till July 4th and Oth, when they will play the closing games of the season on the local A. A. C. grounds, these promises to be the best games of the season as each team is making special prepara tions and are confident of winning. The Jacksonville and Ashland teams played a close game in Ashland last Sunday, Ashland winning by a score of 6 to 6. This is the first game Ashland has won this season and it will probably be the last as they play their next two games with Grants Pas. The ball games played at Medford Thursday and Friday between the Roseburg and Medford teams, both ended in a decisive viotory for the Medford bunch. The game of Thur sday being a very close aud hotly contested affair the score being 8 to 2, while tbs Friday gams was a regolar merry-go-round for Medford with the score 9 to 0. These teams have one more game Saturday afternoon before Roseburg will return home with their tale of woe, it is too bad ws all could n't have a chance with the Umpqaa lads to show them what kind of "stuff" they have to bnok up against when they come Into the Rogue River ooo n try. The Roseburg team whioh was to have played here Thursday baoked out for some unknown teason and are going to play three straight games with Medford, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Less than 20 people represented over 600 voters at the school eleoUon held Monday at which time H. L. Gilkey was re-elected member of the school ooard. If more modern means of ad vertising were employed, it is proba ble that the vote woold be larger. People bave past the point where a no tice tacked to a telethons post is effective. W. I Sweetland's team made a lively run down Sixth street Monday, having been frightened by the Medford auto, which came upon them unexpectedly while standing in front of the Sweet land market. The brake was sat and the rein tied around the brake rod so the horses had to pnll with the reins, but they made good time until they struck a big heap of gravel and granite, whioh had a tendency to slacken their gait, bat they finally collided with a telephone pole iu front of the Bine Front blacksmith shop. The pole of the wagon was broken, but the horses were uninjured. Jacksonville, whose five room brick school hoose was burned last Winter from a defective furnace, baa let the contract ior an eight room brick building to Charles Vegbte, of Ash land, for 914,600.

Veatoh, who is noted for oorios of all- kinds has a novelty which perhaps cannot be duplicated in the oonntry. It is a display of rat tlesnake rattles which in the aggre gate represents snake growth of 400 years or more and were taken from 45 snakes from to 25 years of age. The display is arranged on a cardboard to spell the word Oregon. Mr. Veatch does not hold that these are one of the natural products of Oregon, bat he is loyal to his state and believes the biggest and best of everything can be produced here. Royal Brown, a lad of 8 years," met with an accident Monday whioh might be called a fortunate one. Tie was going out to one of the mills with his father, Everett Brown, for a load of lumber. Royal was riding alone on the hounds of the empty wagoo, and his father riding a wheel hone turned to caution the lad about a rough place in the road just in time to see the boy fall between the wheels. The foar horses were stopped quickly, but not until one of the heavy wheels was against the boy's hoad. Had the wagon gone a foot farther the boy wonld have been killed. At it was he has a laoerated ear, which Inconven iences him but slightly. Pianos that have sold right here in Grants Pass by a popular agent for 1100 can now be bought for $206. Store in the Conklin Boilding. 6-21 It A deposit of gold bars and nuggets was made Monday at the First National Batik that was positive proof that Southern Oregon ba gold mines that produce gold in paying quantities and that if located in the uiiiob boomed state of Nevada would be heralded far and wide aud start a rash of prospectors. This deposit was brought in by L. O. Hinging aud Norman Seaman from the mine that they and H. N. Round tree, of Portland, are operating 16 miles west of Kerby on the head of Chetco river. Their mibe is a curious combination for it is a rock formation, yet they mine it with a giant. The gold Is found in a rotten porphry dike and the rock is so soft that it can be' readily washed by water ' from the giant. Much of the gold comes out in large pieces and this was brought to the bank as found, bat all the fine gold was run in bricks. Tbere were several thousand dollara'worth in the lot and it made a handsome profit to the owners of the mine.
