Willard Hannum has been on the sick list for several days, also H. L. Reed is quite ill at this writing. The citizens of Murphy met at the Hchool house, Saturday for the pur pose of organizing an independent telephone line, as they have become weary of paying such heavy nhone rent and receiving poor service. A meeting is to be called soon when a permanent organization will be ef fected after which the construction of the line will be commenced and pushed rapidly to a finish. We understand the Michigan Mining Co., whose property is loca ted one mile east of Murphy, con template having a tract of land cleared this spring and set to grapes. This company owns 160 acres of land, most of which is ideal eraDe land. As the mine proper only oc cupies a very small part of the land, we confidently expect to see a laree vineyard flourishing on the hillside in a short time.

'l"M"H 1111 M"l Sill it News From Merlin MERLIN TO RE A RAILROAD CENTER. Several years ago a dreamer, who was wise beyond his time, drew a map of the Merlin district, and on the map placed a series of dots which he labeled "Proposed Railroad." These dots commenced at the head of Jump-Off-Joe creek, in that im mense body of timber that is now being exploited by the Three Pines Timber Company, passed by the Mt.

From Merlin It passed on down Rogue Riv er, through other farms and or chards, and penetrated the Gallce mining district, stopping at the point where the Almeda smelter now stands, closely surrounded by that vast array of gold, copper and placer properties. The dreamer has gone away, but the map remains, and It no longer causes a sneering smile to come upon the face of all who look upon it for verily. It Is soon to be a reality. Where is there another district with so much tonnage already at hand, with such vast undeveloped resources awaiting only a little cheaper trans portation to spring Into acMon, into which a railroad has not already been built T Here Is the business al ready at hand, here Is unlimited wa ter power, here is a water grile, and here is Merlin, the center of it all! There is sufficient timber at the head of Jump-Off -Joe to keep a large sawmill running for many years, and It would be closely followed by the farmer, tho fruit raiser, the stock man and the miner, and every day tho business would grow, so that when the timber was finally cut off additional equipment would have to be provided to handle the increased traffic In other lines. As for the Gallce end of the line, jut Utile need be said the smelter ilone is a great part of the argu ment. The Almeda is a great mine, but there will bo others equally as Important In the same district, and he Is certainly a pessimist who can not see a bustling, thriving mining There'll - Be Something j Doing In llerlinYery Soon THE ROGUE RIVER COURIER. ed to a genuine "Broncho Dusting exhibition free of charge the other day. Dell Osborn undertook to car ry a goose on horseback, the goose objected by emitting a vigorous hiss whereupon the horse promptly pro ceeded to do the bucking act. The goose was dropped to allow the rider to devote all his attention to sticking on. The horse evidently thought two "geese" at a time was too many to carry. Dell says the horse didn't get him on the ground or make him pull leather either. BUSTER BROWN. WOLF CREEK "Sunshine" was snowed in last week and could not get any news.

All that vast isolated county of Cur ry, with Its rich deposits of lime stone, marble, coal, copper and gold, with Its timber, Its flshorles and its agricultural interests. Too long It has been cut off from the outer world, and it must be tapped by a railroad, lest it swell up and burst from its increasing wealth. Take your map and examine it closely, especially if it be the topo- " fcV'v KraPhlc' map Issued by the general govcrnment- Note the altitudes of the mountains and the passes, meas- trr the distances and ask yourself if there Is any other feasible route over which the great district can find ai cutlet.

Change rare for all points north to Portland and south to Han Francisco!" Of Local Interest. Mrs. R. L. Cary as one of the visit ors to the Pass Wednesday. Mrs. Chas. Reynolds, of Woodville. spent a few daya In Merlin this week. Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Shattuck, of peach orchard fame, were in Grants Pass Wednesday and Thursday. H. E. Booth, who has had a ser ious attack of the grip, Is recovering rapidly and will soon be on the streets again. It Is repored that Opal Ollmore, is seriously 111 of typhoid fever at whose mother recently died hnre, Riddle, Ore., where she is staying with her grandmother. Chas. E. Short, our real estate man, went to Med ford to give Merita matters another boost, and reports that he expects that there will be something doing from that source In a short time. Miss Alice Smith, teacher of the primary grade of our school, has so far recovered from her recent Illness that school will be reopened next Monday. This will be welcome newa to the little ones.

Grapes A Guarantee of Pure, Healthful, Delicious Food have the best time for tree pruning from the time the foliage comes off in the fall until the new follag'j comes in the spring. Cut all branches close to the main limb they come from and don't leave a stub even one sixth Inch long as that will rot or produce a number of sprouts to sap that should go to producing fruit. Cut out all water sprouts and give your trees a symetrical shape, admit- ing plenty of light and air to all parts. If you want good, perfect fruit get acquainted with your trees and they will tell you what help they want. Your trees may be well able to produce five boxes of Brat class fruit but for lack of p-opor pruning it may try to produce 10 boxes and the re Bult will be poorer grade of fruit, lots of culls and smaller cash re turns. The trouble is not with the tree that always works faithfully, but with the orchardist. Keep your trees well cultivated all summer aa they are doing double work then and in the fall, In maturing the crop and the same time forming the fruft buds for the following season. If thefe are well developed you have thi promise of a good harvest. Spraying with the sulphur and ime wash should be done before the buds start, to destroy scale and any moss or fungus growth.

It U hoped that it will not prove an epidemic and that the stricken ones will non recover. Roy Garroutte and C. L. Cox spent a few days in the Quartz Creek hills looking for a pocket last week. They returned with a nice bunch of nug gets safely corked in a bottle. They will make a more extended search as soon as a proper outfit can be pro cured. J. F. Curtis, of Los Angeles, Cal., has been engaged to take charge of the mill and cyanide plant of the Gold Road mine at Gallce. Mr. Cur tis is a brother of Bert CurtlH, of the Massle hotel, and has for years been connected with the Garvin people of Portland, having traveled through Arizona and Mexico In tholr Interests. Harvey W. Bailey and Chas. W. Sledel, two mining men of Portland, who have been looking over the Ga llce district for the past three weeks, passed through Merlin Sunday. They expressed themselves greatly sur prised at the richness of the ores of ..Mini;, uuu yiculCIUU a pros- peroui year for tfcat d.tr,ct They mat vicinity, and predicted a pros found several properties that looked good to them and will take hold of one as soon as the necessary details can be worked out. The storm of last week made it Impossible to operate the Gallce fer ry for several days and thus com pelled J. II. Cleeland, W. J. Cloe land and C. P. Cochrane, three Phil adelhla capitalists who were on their way to Inspect the Gold Road mine, to remain In Merlin until tho water subsided. While here they Inquired Into the many opportuni ties for Investment which the dis trict afforded and expressed their Intention of Investigating further on their way out. It Is wonderful how many things outsiders can see in Merlin to Interest them, while the av erage old-timer sits around and croaks. These men complimented the writer of the articles which have been appearing in The Courier, stat ing that while on the face of them they looked like boom literature, there wbs every evidence that they were barked by actual conditions of far more value than the writer him self realized. They gave our Push Club many pointers on how to Inerest Eastern capital in the different Indus tries that were peculiarly adapted to this district and promised to do a lit tle agitating lo our behalf upon their return home.
