The local boys made their first run In the second Inning, and up to the sixth It looked like It was going to be a goose egg for Central Point, but In this inning they succeeded In send ing one man around the diamond, thereby tying tho score, but Grants Pass went them one better In their half of the same Innings and put two more men across the plate, this giving them a lead that the Central I'olnt boys were unablo to overcome, although Ilopkin's long drive in the eighth enabled them to bring In one more run which was the best they could do. The Grants I'uhh team has been strengthened up considerably, having several new players and by changing positions, and put up a gunie Sunday that would bo hard to bent.

Uutler, the originator of a number of choice varieties of straw berries, who has made a practical trial of the soils of Wisconsin and Idaho, and who spent several months in searching for an Ideal place for his business, visiting all parts of Washington, Hood River and the Rogue River valleys, has settled near Merlin. He purchased the Frank Thomas place northeast of town, which was noted for Its deep red soil, and has entirely changed Its complexion. Mr. Thomas had gone largely to Tokay grapes, but Mr. Butler has disposed of most of the new grape vines that were or dered, and hopes to demonstrate that the luscious berry is a greater revenue producer than anything else that can be planted In our soils. We believe tfiat Mr. Uutler understands his business, and our mouths are al ready beginning to water In anticipa tion of what we can reasonably ex pect next year. Too many pupils have dropped out of school theso warm days, which reminds us that our truant officer has gone away. Another one should be appointed at once and Instructed to do his duty. Paint now.

This Is an example of energy and push that might well be followed by others, 'ihere has never been a complaint from Perry that there was a lack of opportunity In Merlin and his con tinuous acquisitions prove that he has faith in Its future.

Rich, a representative of Spokane capitalists, spent three days of last week looking into the possi bilities of a motor line from Merlin to Gallce and went away with con siderable enthusiasm.

Adams, who recently ar rived from Nebraska and purchased the Yancey place, three miles south east of town, has certainly made a difference In the looks of that hill side.

It is said that he has sold seven. The Rochford dredge, which was built on Rogue river just above town last winter for experimental pur poses, is now being shipped to Alaska where It will be used to gather up the gold from the bottom of the Yukon. The new fence that has recently been put around the Massk- house adds much to the attractive appear ance of that hostelry. They also added a water tank with a gasoline pump, and now have hot and rold Aater throughout. This will add to Its popularity and will, no doubt, stimulate trade. Merlin Is the most moral district In the county judging from the re cent booze prosecutions. We have a soft drink emporium but have yet to hear anyone accuse them of sell ing liquors. There Is occasionally a little disturbance from the "booze fighters," but the source of their supply Is easily traceable to Giants Pass. We feel proud of our county sent. The present dry weather Iihs caused a few of the hold-backs to commence Inquiring about the possi bility of Irrigation from the Grants Pars project, and It Is quite certain that when the time comes the whole Merlin district will present a solid front in favor of the ditch.
