Williams came in front the mills which he and his brothers are operating near Glendale, in Donglas coanty, to be with bis family during the holidays. City Recorder C. H. Clements, who is nothing, if not very observing, in formed the Courier scribe that a day or so before Xmas he beheld several turkeys strolling along one of the principal residence streets of Grants Pass. He hardly knew what to make of the sight, especially as it was so Clinton Cook, who has been having a seven aore hop yard at his farm, three miles below the Applegate post office, was at the county seat a few days since and be told the Courier representative that he had decided to dig np his hop vines and put in al falfa. He figures that he can get three crops from this product and that the hay will bring him fully 175 per acrs, aet, which is much better than be was realizing from the bops, in recent seasons. Then, too, he has baen reading the papers, recently and discovers that about half of the Uni'ed States are going "dry" aad btlievtng that the "Blind Pigs" can not very well exist ou beer alone he will be governed accordingly. And hs further notices that the best grain land is now being taken for fruit land and as the demand for hay was al ready decidedly brisk he sees that there is going to be a very good mar ket for the hay. Members of the Rogue River Fisher-1 men's Union are more thau pleased ! with the rnling of the OregonJSupreme court, just made.

Grble. two young forest rangers with head- quarters at Grants Pass, were storm bound in town a ooupla of days last week, while on their way below look ing np certain olaims. We acknow ledge a pleasant call from them Port Orford Tribune. It is reported that the grand jury hag failed to find an indictment against Barnum of the Rogue River Valley Railroad, for assaulting Mayor Reddy of Medford with an axe. Ao oording to reports the evidenoe showed that the mayor was the aggressor in the sensational but bloodless affray. Ashland Tidings. Railroad men are complaining that the small bovs, and some larger ones, too, are becoming enitrety too num erous in and around the cars, as thev pull in aud out of the losal yards. This is a very dangerous practice for the youngsters and it behooves their parents to see that such practices are discontinued instanter. The members of the forestry service, with headquarters in this city sur prised their chief, Supervisor M. J. Anderson, Friday morning, by pre senting him with a very handsome gold watch and chain, with a beauti ful diamond set charm attached. Dep uty Supervisor H. M. Guthrie, in a few, well chosen words, presented the token of esteem, but Supervisor was so completely surprised that he was hard ly able to epxress his great appreoia- j tion, not only of the gift, itself, bnt of the motives which actuated the givers. He is justly proud, not only of the ser viceable gift, bit also of the manly set of men under his snpervision who are rendering such exoelleat service in this important capacity. Stephen L. Beers, of Winter, Jack son county, who came to the Pass to celebrate, accuses Irving Msdley and Ed Wetel, of this city, of having "touched" his poolret bonk Xmas eve to the extent of 1110. It seems that all three went to the Lay ton hotel and that Beers was loaded with "booze" aad the ottier parties, lie alleges, took liia rash. They had a hearing before County Judge Jewell, yesterday and were bound over to the circuit court in the sum of t-r00 bail bond. Mere is a very complimentary notice from the Gold Hill News for a Grants Pass firm : The well known realty firm, W B Sherman & Co., of Grants I Pass, has made a change in its affairs, Mr. Sherman retiring, aud is sucseed- i by Messrs. Best & Fuller of Spokane, Wash. During Mr. Sherman's bu-i-! ness life in Grsnts Pans he has been the sole factor in the development of that town, and it will probably be a long time before one can lie found i who could fill his place in the town."
