The excessively high water, the past
week, swept the big ferry of the Cop
per Standard Co., at its mining prop
erty, on Piopke.t Creek, from its'moor-
iugs and it was drifted down to about
three miles this side of Galioe. It
was boilt a couple of years ago and
was regarded as one of the beet on the
river.
'I was greatly surprised when I
learned that the members of the Rogue
River Boys Band bad dedicated "To
kay," the new piece of musio to me,"
said W. B. Sherman, the rustling
realty man to the Courier representa
tive. "Yes, it was a real and genu
ine surprise and I do arpreoiate the
honor, most sincerely." No person
has put forth greater efforts to ad
vance te interests of this entire com
munity, than has Mr. Sherman, who
has spent a large amount of money
and labor In working for tills entire
section, and it was bnt fitting that
some recognition of the fact should be
mad and the Boya Baud made a luoky
strike when they decided to give their
new musical selection this name and
dedioate it to Mr. Sherman.
