MENDING FENCES
NOW UNDER WAY
Anyone Who Strolls About Corridors
in Washington Nowadays Doesn't
Need Any Further Reminder That
This Is Campaign Year.
WASHINGTON, Junn 15. Any
body who walks through tho corri
dors of tho houso offieo building
these days doosu't need any further
reminder of tho fact thnt this is
campaign year.
Piles of mail baps clutter the halls
of tho building nnd extra clerks are
pressed into sorvico to assist in the
mailing of litornturo to tho folks
back home, all of which literature is
designed to draw attention to the
fact that their representative in con
gress is on tho job.
It has been more than usually
"tnlky" in tho houso this session.
Members feel inclined to voico their
views on pretty nearly everything
under the suu. "Leave to print,"
has been granted dftonor than usual.
And all this adds to the weight of
literature being prepared for home
consumption.
To tho desiro of members to get
into print-on all topics is attributable
in part at least the length of the
present session of congress. It is
campaign year and no representative
intends to let nn opportunity go by
to deliver his views.
These same speeches, of course,
are printed in tho Congressional Rec
ord. But tho Record only gives
them a limited circulation. When
the representative desires that folks
back home shall know of that bit of
oratory, ho has tho government
printing office print the speech in
leaflet form and sends the tracts
broadcast through his district, under
his frank. It only costs his "clerk
hire" to address envelopes.

Laurels Are Snatched From Brows

champion fisherman.
-thusly:
Moso wanted to go fishing last
Sunday, and ho had Jeff Heard se
lect his tackle for him. Accordingly
Jeff blows Mr. Barkdull at tho Mcd
ford Hardware company for quito a
few sequins. In tho list was several
hundred feet of lino, and when Mose
put it on tho rool it wouldn't go by
some twenty feet. In accordance
with tho principles of his youth,
Moso wound the surplus lino on a
stick and put it in his pocket. When
he arrived at the fishing ground on
Lost not Lake creok ho found
that he had left all tho elaborate
ttacklo at home, and all ho had was
that fow feet of lino and a couple of
-small hooks. Nothing daunted, he
cut a willow pole, tied his line and
Jiooks thereon, caught a couple of
grasshoppers nnd impaled them upon
tho hooks. Thou, while tho rest of
tho crowd wore "sotting up" their
elaborato puraphernalia Mose wan
dered down to tho brook, made one
.cast, hooked a two-pounder with
each hopper, dragged them out on tho
grass and rested the balanco of the
.day.

''whon you hit tho bullsoye tho first
shot, sit down and keep still; people
will believe then you can do it every

$ EAGLE POINT EAGLETS 1
By A C. Hewlett !
I " 1
Just as I mailed my letter to tho
Mall Tribune who should step out ot
tho nostofflce but Chnuncy Floroy,
offlco iloputy In tho assessor's office
at Jacksonville. Ho and his wlfo
hnd como out to visit his father and
mothor nnd 'or parents and tho othor
children. Their many frlonda gave
them a cordial grootlns and hearty
congratulations wero oxtondod to
them with many woll wlshos.
Last Sunday morning your Eaglo
Point correspondent took a trip to
Tnblo Rock to attend tho Sunday
school picnic thnt had already boon
announced In tho Eaglets. When I
arrived on tho ground, on tho banks
ot tho Roguo river, I found that Rev.
Mark C. Davis, tho Sunday school
missionary, had already been there,
and he, with tho assistance of somo
ot tho nolgh'jors, had erected a tent
largo enough to comfortably seat a
llttlo over a hundred persons, had tho
seats already arranged, a long table
erected and an organ on the ground
nnd everything ready for tho ontor
talnmcnt. At n little past 11 a. in.
services wero commenced and Mr.
Dav3 preached to a largo and appre
ciative audlcnco not like thoy havo
In tho cltloj, but about two hundrod
people. Before preaching ho had
small envolopes distributed and later
they were gatboroa up and tho re
sult was a contribution ot $11.62
toward tho Sunday school causo In
Oregon.
After preaching dinner was served,
after which tho program of the Sun
day schools Tho following Sunday
school wero represented: Agate,
Chapperell, Suma Valley and Tnblo
Rock, beside a fow scattering ones
from other schools. The program
was simply fko; the children had
been woll t-alncd and each one
seemed to know just what to do and
how to do it, rxd at tho closo Mr. and
Mrs. Odell, Mrs. Beeby and one other
whose name I have forgotten, sang an
appropriate song and when they wero
through the audience encored them
and they sang "Jesus, Lover of My
Soul," as bit few can sins it, then
tho benedic.Ion was pronounced by
Rov. Davis. After dismissal somo
ono who had strong lungs cried out
We will have enough lco cream for
everybody and everybody IS Invited to
remain." Then tho real social part
of the program commenced, and the
first call was for ablebodled men to
man the freezers, and In a very short
tlmo Miss Mao Xealpnd presented
your correspondent with a dish of
of ice cream. None of your town
blue John froz.. but tho genuine arti
cle, and thus began that part ot the
program and that was kept up for
about an hour. Wo all begpn to scat
ter for our homes, but many of us
will remember tho Sunday school pic
nic of June 12, 1910, and look for
ward to the children's day for Juno
11.1911.
Speaking about Sunday schools
brings to my m!nd that next Monday,
Juno 20, is scl ool election day and
It stands us in hand to seo to get
ting a good m.-.u in for director and
try to keep tho old mossback set out,
so that we can keep up a od school.
let everybody turn out.
La.it Sunday the Tablo Rock ball
team came over and met the Eaglo
Point team. Thoy had an oxclting
game an.l did corao good battldg on
both sides. Tho game stood at the
closo 18 to 2C in favo- of tho Eagle
Point tea'ji.
Last Sunday night I was requosted
to go to Brownsboro to attend. tho
funeral of Jchn Hart, whoso remains
wero found in tho north fork ot Little
Butto creek on Saturday, Juno 11.
Tho county coroner waa called and
tho decision rendered was that his
death was accldontal. It appears
from what I could gathor from Mr.
Bradsbaw, his son-in-law and others
wero out rldlnj and had an attack ot
heart failure, as he was subject to
that trouble, and fol off of his mule
Into tho creek, as his body was found
partly In tho water, although his head
and ohoujders wore out of tho water.
His head was bcdly mashed whore ho
had struck u rock In tho fall. Ho had
been missing for some tlmo and
search was i jstituted. Tho mule was
found about a half a mile from where
th body was found. Th lntermont
took placo on tho 13th Inst, in the
Brownsboro cemetery.
Mr, Hart was a native of Scotland
nnd was born Jan. 17, 1843, aged
C7 .years 5 months and 24 days. Ho
came to tho United States in the
namo yoar that ho was married, 18C9,
and settled In Waltham, 111. Lator
ho camo to Nolracka, where ho lived
for ton ycnr3, finally coming to Ore
gon In 1895, where ho has rosldcd
up to tho day of his death. Ho has
four sons and three daughters, four
of whom aro still living, to-wlt:
Mrs. E, H. Tucker, Mrs. R. H. Brad
shaw, Wlllkan and Thomas. All ex
cept Thomas are living near Browns
boro, and he Is In California. Ho

In Waltham, 111., where ho still held
his membership, and nlso was a
member of tho A. O. U, W, lodgo In
good standing. His funeral was at
MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE,
