I felt like ahouting "Hello" and say "partner, all again, Twas like greetings from an old friend from afar. When I saw these simple letters, I was standing near the track, And my heart beat as it hasn't beat for years Then I wished for Just a minute some big wind would blow me back, For my eyes were very near to weak'ning tear.. It recalled to me the faces that I'd known long, long ago, As It stood upon the track and smiled at me.

Sherman and Coutant also have the Merlin town site, which will be put on the mar ket. To handle the business at that end, offices have been opened at Merlin. The Grants Pass offices will re main In rooms 9, 10 and 12 of the Masonic Temple, which have been oc cupied by Mr. Sherman ever since the temple was built eight years ago. An office will also be maintained at Woodvllle. The following is what they have to say In the way of announcing their undertaking: We believe In the state of Oregon and the Rogue River valley, and particularly do we believe that this section In whhh we live Is the choic est prtrt of it all. By taking the swcepHtakes at. the National Apple Were you ever In a stranger's town, and saw a strangers That looked as though it might be one from heme. And you think you'd like to see this stranger once In a went, Merely to keep you from feeling so alone? Well, this freight car seemed to meet me and to grasp my outstretched hand, And to tell me that I was not all alone, That I was not the only one In this far off Btranger s land, But that he and others here were far from home. Now, it isn't very often that a freight car meets you bo, As it stands with alien wheels upon the track And If tomorrow morning it is there, and I'm still broke, I'll hit this side door pullman and go bacK.

'jThc times are chatming and with .time men must change tin 1 1- business methods. I'ru't growing Is: no longer the difficult and Inti'ica'e n tnl-iti ivlni, that, it bus been In years past, and In Hie l;o;Mie River valley tills Is par ticularly true for the reason that the I'nltcd States government has Prof. P. .1. O'Gara, one of tli best Inform ed fruit men of the Cnlted States, permanently stationed In (lie valley to further the fruit Industry; the agricultural college nt Corvallis furn ishes literature and Information free on nny matter In which they are con sulted; the county has J. F. Burke, who Is a thorough horticulturist, looking after the orchardlHts' Inter ests In the county, and be Is always ready and glad to give assistance to beginners or anyone else desiring It. The Rogue River Orchard company has succeeded In securing the serv ices of F, I). Klstnann as their hor ticulturist and It will be his duty to Instruct and aid all buyers of tracts from the company In the Merlin dis trict. With all these facts and advan tages before us we are going to nd vocate that fruit growing In this lo cality Is an easy problem for the be ginner and, like any other business, all that Is required for success, Is n reasonable amount of diligence and I the utlllation of the Information ; that Is to be had for the asking, and J that fruit growing In this valley Is not of necessity a fanner's proposi tion hut more particularly a busi ness man's. ; Our customers are going to get the vvoMh of tlielr money, and one of the flist things we have to say is that we don't Intend to biing a lot i of people here and settle them where jthey cannot make a living. We don't want a lot of people to mine, become ; discouraged and disgusted and leave to give the valley a black eye. It has been proven time and again that a man can make a bountiful living eti T acres with Irrigation. We Intend to advocate that fruit trees can be grown suiMsfully wltlout water, but that water Is a brio lit after the trees come Into hearing and land them on places where they cannot make a living for want of water. We will preach the doctrine that 5, 10 or 20 acres of this land are suf ficient to take care of a family in luxury when It Is properly planted to orchard or vineyard, irrigated and In bearing. We will advocate that our rich river bottom lands are particularly adapted to the growth of pears and Yellow Newtown pippins and Wine sap apples. We will advocate that the red soils are particularly adapted to the growth of Tokay grapes, pears, Splt zenberg and all other red apples, peaches and all small fruits. We will advocate that we believe with irrigation the granitic lands within the next ten years will prove themselves the most valuable for certain kinds of fruit, vegetables and alfalfa of any soil In the Rogue Rlvey valley. That it is the easiest, to work and can be gone onto nt any time of the year. That. It is well drained and always sanitary. We Intend to advocate further that we have no soil in the Rogue River valley but what is valuable for the growth of all kinds of vegetables and small fruits with irrigation. We will advocate that there is money to be made by our land buyers In raising apples, but we will be con servative In our statements; Instead of telling them Ihey will receive from $'2(i00 to $:iono per aire, which Is being done every year In the valley, even without Irrigation, we will en courage them that they can get from $200 to $000 per acre annually out of apples, pears, crapes and peaches. We will proclaim the fact that the Rogue River 'alley excels the world In the growth of pears. We are going to Inform them that It has 'een thoroughly demonstrated that this locality excels In the 1'nlted States In the growth of the famous Flaming Tokay grape. If there was nothing else raised, any one of these three products would soon mnke our valley famous. We also Intend to advert Ise that this locality will equal, If not excel, In the growth of peaches; the same Is true of cherries and strawberries and nil other small fruits. We believe that Giants Pass should and will be the metropolis of the Rogue River valley; that It Is geographically located and In all ways entitled to and will he the me tropolis of Southern O'-eg.ui.

F. Hill, the purchaser of the big Riggs ranch at the mouth of the Applegate and who Is expected here within a few weeks to commence the development of the property, has been proposed by his home paper, the Semi-Weekly News, at Huntingdon, Pa., as a candidate for congress. We clip from that journal its article on this subject; "Sentiment in this congressional district seems to be assuming pretty strong proportions in favor of a change In congressman from this district. The dissatisfaction with Mr. Focht is founded on a number of reasons and influence 1b being brought to bear upon Past St. Master Hill to become the candidate for congress in this district. It is believed that his broad experience with public questions and wide acqualntancp with men and affairs, together with his national, if not international, reputa tion qualify him to become a most efficient and creditable representa tive not alone of the agricultural but of all other interests In this district. And it is hoped that he will not re fuse to become a candidate. "We believe the wishes of the peo ple should prevail in this as In all matters and from personal acquaint ance and knowledge we do not hesi tate to say that this district has never had and cannot now secure an abler or more popular congressman than Mr. Tllll would make us. "We heartily and unreservedly join In calling him to this public service. He has training and qualifications that make him by all odds the strongest man we have In the dis trict. Huntingdon county Is entitled to name the candidate for congress next time and should we succeed in prevailing upon Mr. Hill to accept tbo nomination, every county In the district would, wo are sure, take Pleasure and piid,. i helping to I THE TWO HORSE BRAND (km mss elect him and so reflect honor upon the district." Mr. Hill would undoubtedly make an able and useful member of con gress, honoring both his district and his state, and yet, while we know that his election would in no way re tard the development work on his great ranch near Grants Pass, his time spent at the national capital would be a disappointment to tho people of Josephine county. World Approaching Its Knd. General Booth of the Salvation Army paid In an address in London a few days ago that not only one nation but all nations seemed banded together as one great people of re bellion, transgression and wickedness until some think I believe with a considerable degree of probability that we may be approaching rapidly the end of all things, witn similar results, but far surpassing in magni tude, anything that has gone before, that all things may he wound up, hut that instead of there being a deluge of water sweeping the world and its inhabitants, there will he destruction by fire. People who do nothing are always wondering what they will do next. Tony was on lis way home and in a lonely plai e i :e v. as met by the wom an, who :n walking. When she ap proached him ;iie cried out as if in fear and f'il as if fainting. Lenzo gallantly steppe,! forward and stoop ed to give assi . lance. As he did so he found himself race to face with a re volver. The woman laughed and arose, bidding l.en.o to stand still. He did so without, effort. She added that It was time that he hand over i his money. j "I was a little slow, I think," Len-j zo told the police, "and she reached1 on nnd searched my pockets with one hand while still holding the re-' volver In the other. 'Now, beat it down the street,' she said, when she had cleaned out all I had, taking my purse nnd watch. I bent It all light, not looking back until I had gone half a block. Then I stopped and watched her. She hur ried to the west end of the viaduct and entered n waiting tsxicah nnd nway she went."
