There is quite a stirr among us ov er the "Liquor Question", nnd a hear inq will soon bo held of ono of the citizens for selling without license.

Beulah Hildroth is crrecting a wee bungalow, while several others "re just waiting for lumber to start building homes. Our mill is getting nt lumber as fast as possible, but kns not nil tho machinery placed as yet, but will soon be able to supply tie demand. Sovcrnl loads of machinery for. tho mills wcro hauled in from Eagle Point last week, and Superintendent Ncthcrlnnd is rushing matters as he has several large railroad contracts to fill. Manager II. D. Mills has left for Mcdford on a very urgent business trip nnd he has been kept busy look ing after the company's interests. Jean Stowcll nud family have gone to the mountains to pick huckleberr ies, and will remain at Blue ennyou and Cat hill for a month or more. As the deer season for buck has opened, wo may expect to hear the crack of the rifle and see large part ies going for the hills and deer retreats. Messrs Cincaid nnd Jeffries of Central Point have gone on the un survoyed section where Mr. Jeffries ias homestead interests. Dr. Emerson and family are fre quent visitors to our town nnd they expect to move hero this winter for the school advantages Our daily stage comes in crowded every day with passengers, and an auto line from Mcdford would pay now as wo have some fine roads at present, and many would come here but for staging it from Eagle Point. Let us be modern and up-to date and show a wide-awake spirit. Medford should be more interested in this point as it will nnd must be a feeder for it. You have gotten rid of the knockers, now get rid of tho "shelfishncss" and spread out be yond the pleas of my wife nnd son John and his wife, us four and no more. Mr. Wringer of Eagle Point has been driving one of tho stages for Mr. Harnish during the past weak or more.

Mr. Pory is another ono of our active and iudusterious fanners nnd one never hears any complaint from him about the weather of the failure of crops nor does he lack any of tho good things Hint a thrifty fanner has in his homo. Attorney Pentr. has been inter viewing many of our people along tho proposed line for the extension of tho railway from Butte Falls to the mountains cast, but the people do not care to welcome or encourage the road, and in all probability no exten sion, nlong the present proposed line will be made, but the railroad will cut off miles in another direction, and these parties will wait years for trnn sportation facilities. A very unusual experience for Butte Falls and surrounding country has been the absence of auy rainfall during the summer, yet one would not infer from tho freshness and grcennes of vegetation about us that such has been the ense. Central Point Items Mr. and Mrs. J. 0. Isaacson have returned from the seashore, where they enjoyed n week's vacation. S. A. Pattison returned from a business trip to Portland today. Nov. T. M.

A number of Central Point citi zens nre launching a boom for a now city hall, and the idea should meet with general approval, as the old building is not even good enough for the present.
