Saturday evening the Olee club
met at the residence of Mrs. L. T.
Corliss. The attendance was en
couraging and Indicates that the In
terest Is growing In this direction.
To mention all present would re
quire too much space. The enter

mit of a detailed account. It con
sisted In several songs and recita
tions and some enjoyed themselves
in the gay whirls of the waltz and
the old-fashioned and sociable square
dances. The next meeting will be
at the home of Mrs. Vanderbllt.
A movement Is on foot to organ

have It right at our doors. If the
Interests controlling these matters
can get In real working order and
got away from the dog In the man
until all th available land win be
under Intelligent and profitable cul
tivation. Yes, let all boost for the general
welfare of this grandest of conn-fries.
The most Interesting Item of news
from this locality Is that the lumber
company has completed the rebuild
ing of the flume recently wrecked.
Water was turned In the new sec
tion about 10 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. This will be a great saving to
the company as compared to' hauling
lumber to the railroad as was done
during the repairing of the wrecked
ectlon. Car loads of lumber were
dispatched regularly during the time
the flume was out of commission.
This lumber was loaded on wagons
and hauled to the railroad, a distance
of about one mile.
L. T. Corliss, who has the contract
, for excavating the trench for the wa
ter pipe to be laid by the Farwell
Construction company Is rushing the
work and will complete the same In
about five days. The reservoir for
the water system is located on the
summit of an elevation ono hun
dred and forty feet above the gen
eral level of the section to be Berved.
This will, It Is estimated, produce a
pressure of about 60 pounds. The
reservoir site Is a beautiful one. The
view from this elevation Is grand.
The rugged and Jagged mountains
long Rogue River with their pres
ent decorations of snow and the In
tervening though less rugged hills
with the valleys between are well
worth the time and effort of a Hill or
Moran to depict on canvas. This
truly Is a favored spot for the home
builder. With all this rugged beau
ty ever In view, and thousands of
fertile acres awaiting the Introduc
tion of the llfe-glvlng water that will
re long bo distributed over these
Idle tracts, this, one of the many
beautiful corners of this famous val
ley, Is sure to be the home of a large
population.

the vein, knock down coal and make
room to increase their force as rap
Idly as possible. The coal Is opened
up by the tunnel and the lessees will
be enabled to take out coal from the
Btart, probably enough to make the
iperatlng expenses at least for that
portion of the mine.
This tract of 2100 teres Is but a
pmall portion of Colonel Mundy's
holdings, his other groups being the
Sunnyslde and Western. He has
prospected his land around the base
of Roxy Ann for a distance of thir
teen miles, by driving tunnels of var
ious lengths from 125 feet to 4000
feet and has found that In the entire
d'etance not only one but three veins
of coal. The top one Is nine feet In
thickness, seventy-five feet deeper
is another of seven feet and 150 feet
farther down Is another five feet in
t.ilckness.
These are blanket veins, having a
drop of from five feet to seventy-five
f "ct, which means that the tunnels
are Inclined slightly and Is the rea
son that at this time pumping or si
phoning out the water Is necessary.
It Is the highest grade of coal on
the Pacific coast, being superior to
the Rock Springs, Roslyn and Nan
almo. This. Is an assertion not found
ed on local enthusiasm, but a fact
ascertained by actual tests made by
experts In various parts of the coun
try. Swift & Company, of Chicago,
tested the coal and found ft to be
superior to anything on the Pacific
coast and equal to anything In Illin
ois and Indiana.
It Is both a high-grade steam and
cpklng coal and Its production will
mean the fostering of many other In
dustries, among them Iron and steel
making In due time.
"This whole country Is underlaid
with coal, not one but three splen
did veins," said Colonel Mundy last
evening to a representative of The
Sun. "I had many tests made and
find It superior to any coal on the
coast, not excepting the Rock Springs
and Nanalmo. ,1 have prospected
these deposits for a distance of thir
teen miles and find tho same three
veins with practically no variation I
in thickness for the entire distance. 1
"Professor Ray. who with John i
Hays Hammond Is one of the high-1
rst-priced mining experts In the
world, was here several months aeo!
find made n complete examination of!
these deposits. He makes a very'
favorable report. It Is his theory as !
well ns others' that the basin known !
s the Rogue River valley was brok
en off and dropped down. You can !
find clam shells and other evidences!
of the sea on the top of Roxy Ann.1
The same Iron capping which yon j
'Mil find on the top of Table Rock Is
to he found in the valley below by
sinking over inn feet, which means
that the drop has been from 600 to
Tort feet. Whatever coal there Is
under the valley -can be' found by
Inking for a considerable depth, but
on my land we find It by tunneling,
which Is nearly on the level.

THE GREATEST IMPROVEMENT f
in poultry fence construction ever Known was made when
electric welding was introduced. It sounded the death
knell of the light, flimsy netting and of light poultry fences
of all kinds. This radical change over old methods was
made by the Pittsburgh Steel Company and was incor
porated into its now celebrated "Pittsburgh Perfect"
fencing, for hogs, sheep, cattle, farm purposes and for
lawns and poultry. This fencing is manufactured ex-
clusively by them. Jblectno welding also placed wraps,
clamps and ties in the waste wire class.
"Pittsburgh PERFECT"
ELECTRICALLY WELDED
Poultry Fence
'Pittsburgh Perfect" poultry fences as
well as all farm and lawn fences under this
brand, are now being made from a special
quality of open hearth wire, manufactured in
the immense addition to our mills recently
built. It is now heavily galvanized by an
improved process. All stay wires are the same
size as line wires, and is the superior of any
poultry fence made. The quality of the open
hearth wire, conceded superior to Bessemer
steel; the galvanizing, applied by our special
process; and the large wires, are all of vital
importance in giving service and durability.
"Pittsburgh Perfect" Electrically Welded
Fences are made in every height and weight
for every use. Insist upon getting only
"Pittsburgh Perfect" fence.
