MIsh Carrie Mlllppaugh, district
secretary for tlio Women's American
Baptist Homo Missionary society,
came out on tho P. & E. Ir.st Sunday
and spoko threo times In ti e church
nt this place. In the afternoon she
organised a women's missionary cir
cle nt this place. There was not
tho hearty response that ought to
lmvo boon expected, ns there was only
?2 and n few cents raised at the mis
sionary collection, and but few seem
ed to take hold of the proposition to
form a circle. She is a woman of
considerable ability and revived a
cordial greeting from the members of
the church here.
Mr. Hnmmon of Trail tilled Sun
day night on his way from Medford
to his home. He has been in the
goat business on Trail for some time,
but lias sold his band and Is turning
Ills attention to some othor branch
pf business.
John .McKee of Big Butte was a
pleasant caller Monday morning. He
was on his way from Medford, where
bo bad been staying for some time,
to bis homo.
O. IT. Wnmsley and daughter. Miss
Mabel, were visiting at the Sunny
slde last Sunday.
Thomas Grlgsby came out for a
load of goods the first of the week
for tho Butte Falls merchants.
W. Gerlg, general superintendent
of construction. came out last Mon
day, procured a horse and saddle at
tho Sunnyslde stable and went as
far n3 ther have the right of way
cleared, that Is, almost to Butte
Falls. He says that they are get
'tlng along nicely, clearing tho right
of way and with usual success they
will have the right ot way cleared
by tho first of March and that the
men are doing fairly well at work,
considering the drawbacks. Tho
constant rain and of necessity mud
makes It very disagreeable for the
men, ns they have no conveniences
for drying their clothes and even In
the camps they have mud all ot the
time, but he thinks that as soon as
we have a little dry spell so as to
settle the ground that the men will
become better satisfied and work will
progress more rapidly. There was a
carload of steel rails went on to the
front Monday and there Is now a
large force of men ballasting the
track, making the switch on the des
ert and the bridge crew is busy put
ting In culverts and in fact things
begin to look lively around V'
,A. drummer was here last Monday
all day and all night with a whole
wagon load of drummer's trunks in
terviewing Brown & Sons, and the
probabilities are that they have laid
in another large stock of goods. In
fact, there Is scarcely a day but one
ot the two general merchandise
stores receive now goods, and It Is
often the case that the customers
have townlt till their team comes
to trade.
Ernest Cole, now one of tho rail
road postal clerks on the Southern
Pacific railroad, came over last Mon
day to gather up some of his boloug
tugs, ns he has sold his land In this
neighborhood. He bought 15 acres
of land of Pierce & Son for $22.50
an acre and sold It with uo Improve
ments except n small house and hen
house for $50 an acre. Not a bad In
vestment for him.
Mr. Peyton came out last Monday
with a team and Tuesday morning
left tho team nt the Sunnyslde stable,
went to Medford to meet his daugh
ter, whom he expected to go home
with him.
Our daughter Hattle started last
Monday for Portland with our three
little grandchildren that I brought
down last November, as their father
has Improved so that they thought
best to have their children come
home. L. E. Smith, one of the young
men who has been living with us for
several years, also went at tho samo
time to visit the McGees. Stepps,
Iseles, Obenchalns. who live In Portland.

Discovery of Famous Fungicide Made
Through Spraying Vines With
Copper and Lime.
Prof. O'Gara haB an article In the
February number of Better Fruit,
bearing on the history and value of
Bordeaux mixture. The discovery of
this great fungicide, like all other dis
coveries, la attributable to the habit
ot close observation on the part of
the discoverer, together with an ele
ment ot chance.
It was in 1882 that Prof. Miller,
was passing through the vineyard of
St Julian, In Modoc, Franco, and
-was surprised to notice that all along
tho road tho leaves wero still on the
vines, while in all other places they
bad already fallen. There had been
some mlldow that year and tho pro
fessor at first attributed tho presence
of the leaves to some treatment for
that dlseneo. Investigation proved
however, thnt the vines had boon
sprinkled with sulphate of Hmo to
geep niaruudorB away from tho
grapes. From this tho ubo of the mix
ture for the proventuio of mildew was
a step, and from It all, finally deve
loped tho Bordeaux moxturo, which
Ij now universally used as a fungicide
At first the mixture was of a con
sistency ot thin mush and was applied
to tho vines with a whisk broom, af
terwards It was reduced. The first
formula publlsncd In 1885 contained
five times ns much sulphate and 10
times as much limo as Is used In
standard 5-5-50 formula ot today.

This is a perfect likeness of M. E.
Morgan singing that doleful end

cheerful expression of his counte

bis own. Perhaps lie bought somo

Of n recent show put on by Mr.
Wilson, the Lewiston Tribune says:
"The chorus showed itself trained
to perfection and Mr. Wilson, the'
lender, und the man who organized,
the show, must be blamed for the
fact that there was not a hitch in,
tho performance. In fact, some of
the combined orchestra and chorus
numbers the Tcsults were so liar- f
monious as to mako the listeners
wonder that such a thing could be ,
possible, considering tho short timei
devoted to practice.
