At least, the present indications point strongly in that direction. Mr. P. D. Creager, western repre sentative o f the Hastings Industrial company o f Chicago, has been here less than a week and has already met with hearty encouragement in his work o f organizing a company and installing a first-class, modern butter-making plant. The plan is to organize a stock com pany o f farmers and business men, who will own and operate the plant, there by insuring to the producer the full amount o f profit the milk contains. This section o f southern Oregon is ideal for the production o f butter at a profit, it being one o f the best alfalfa Not In Earthquake Belt ■+ H H -rrH - A matter that has puzzled some o f the transient visitors in southern Ore gon during the quaking period down in California has been our entire exemp tion from the-quaking. Only those who are familiar with the geological forma tion o f the coast ranges actually know the reason for immunity from earth quakes, as well as from cyclones, but it has been a matter o f common knowl edge for generations past that the Sis kiyou range o f mountains, which marks the boundary between Oregon and Cal ifornia, was the first land that appeared above the waters o f the Pacifio. ocean in prehistoric times, and it is even con tended by some geologists that Wagner and Ashland buttes were never sub merged at any period. Thin affords conclusive proof o f the thickness o f the earth’ s crust In this region, and satis factorily acoounts for the fact that not one in a thousand felt even the slightest tremor here during the recent disturb ances to the south. This is a happy condition o f affairs in southern Oregon, for here we have the same climate which has been the chief resource o f California in’ times past, and we are absolutely exempt from any danger from seismic influences and in addition have the greater advantage o f being the one place on the coast where conditions are right for the pro duction o f the highest types o f de ciduous fruits. The fact that this is true is going to induce many who are residents o f Cal ifornia, and who feel unsafe there, to remove to the Rogue river valley, as after enjoying this coast climate they ean never be reconciled to residence again in the inhospitable climes to the east o f the Rocky mountains. Our neighbors’ misfortune may in the long run work to our permanent advantage, although at present is must be conceded that some immigration is being divt.'ted altogether from this coast.

Peninger, a well known resi dent o f near Tolo, met with a very se rious accident a few days ago in which he narrowly escaped death. Mr. Pen inger, accompanied by another gentle man, was in the Galice creek mount ains in Josephine county, where they had gone in search o f sheep range. They had climbed a steep mountain ar.d after making their way over the summit started down a steep trail. The mountain side, around which ran the trail, was very precipitous, and as a matter o f precaution Mr. Peninger had dismounted ar.d was leading his horse when he lost his footing on the uncertain ground and fell and rolled to the bottom o f the gulch, a distance o f more than 100 feet. Fortunately, the horse did not follow him or Mr. Peninger might have been crushed to death in the descent. Mr. Peninger was in town Tuesday and showed evidence o f hiS terrible tumble. He says they found plenty o f grass in that countty, but the mountains are too steep to successfully range sheep or any othet stock on them. neighborhood N O . 4= can be realized by the farmer by man ufacturing his product here, thereby saving to himself the cost o f freight charges both ways. As a business proposition for the town and surroundiug country at this time a creamery can hardly be sur passed. It will not only furnish a lu crative means for the farmer to dis pose o f his hay and pasture but it will also prove o f great advantage to the business interests o f the town. It will mean the disbursement o f a large amount o f money direct to the farmers every month, and this will inevitably flow into local trade channels, thereby proving a benefit to every line o f busi ness in Central Point. The company represented by Mr. Creager has been engaged in the busi ness o f building creameries ail over the country for years and reports from many quarters where they have in stalled plants are unanimous in recom mending their business methods and the general satisfaction o f their work. Everyone who is interested in advanc ing the interests o f Central Point and this section o f the valley should take an active interest in helping to land the creamery. It will help the farmer di rectly; it will help the business man; it will help everybody in the commu nity. LIGHT and POWER Central Point’ s new paper, the Her ald, has made its appearance.
