William H. Peninger died at his home
near Tolo, last Saturday morning, after
a short illness, aged 50 years, 4 r.onths
and 24 days.
Deceased was a native son o f Jack-
son county, having been bom on the
same farm on which he died on Feb­
ruary 13, 1856, and at the time of his
death he was next to the oldest native
son of the county. He was well known
as a citizen and respected as a man and
a neighbor. His wife died several
years ago, and three children, two sons
and one daughter, none of whom have
yet attained their majority, are left to
mourn his loss.
He was a member o f the Knights of
Pythias and Workmen orders and the
funeral, which was held Sunday at
12:30, was in charge of the members of
these orders. A short service was held
at the home, the interment being made
at the Jacksonville cemetery.
Hodges
Daniel Hodges, an old and respected
resident of the Agate country, died at
his home near that place, Friday, July
6, 1906, aged about 74 years. The
funeral took place Saturday at 10 a.
m., interment being made in Sam’s
valley cemetery.
The object o f all development
leagues is to induce immigration
of good citizens from the eastern
states to the Rogue River Valley.

The Rogue River Land Co.
has been a pioneer in this devel­
opment business, having made
the first move in the valley to in­
duce desirable immigrants to re­
move here and to partake of our
advantages and climate. In the
last two years we have located a
large number of the best citizens
to be found in the valley. Cen­
tral Point has attracted many of
them.
The Rogue River Land com­
pany guarantees fair treatment
to its customers. We will in a
short time again send a man east
to extol the merits of this sec­
tion. Give us a credit mark and
boost our way. It is high time
for all sections of this valley to
'•ill together and quit “ knock­
ing.”

Stewart
James Stewart, a respected citizen
of Jackson county, died at his home
near Medford last Saturday evening,
aged about 73 years.
Deceased was a native of Maine, but
came to this valley about 21 years ago.
He had made a stady of fruit growing
for years and on coming to this coun­
try he at once recognized its possibili­
ties in that direction and at once en­
tered that business on an extensive
scale. Five years after arriving here
he shipped the first carload o f fruit
ever shipped from this county and five
years later his shipments for the year
reached 95 cars.
He was a prominent member o f the
Masonic fraternity, that order having
had charge of the funeral services,
which took place at Medford Monday
afternoon at 2 o ’clock.
