There was a "box" social held in

cess. Butto Falls Is attracting the at
tention of outside capital as many
men havo been hero within the past

PIONEERS MEET IN
JACKSONVILLE SEPT.22
Tho Pioneer Society of Southern
Oregon will hold its annual meeting
at Jacksonville, September 22, at
which time an effort will bo made
through the aid of tho Native Sons
and Daughters of Oregon to perfwt
an organization to perpetuate the
memories of tho pioneers. The num
ber of tho original pioneers is grow
ing smaller year by year and it is
incumbent upon their descendants to
iecp their deeds in remembrance.
William Jolnm.n will deliver a
short oration on pioneor day and
thoro will be a short musical pro
gram, A feature will he tho obituary no
tices of those who have passed
away during tho past year, among
them being Silns J. Day, tho secre
tary of the socioty from its incep
tion almost.
Tho list comprises D. P. Brittnn,
A. D. Ilolman, W. P. Towne, Rial
Benedict, Silas J. Day, II. K. Ilnnna,
Kindor Bonz, and R. J. Cameron.
It there's nothing a want ad can
holp you to accomplish you'ro lead
ing too quiet a Hfo!
exact eharo of business,
ship will undergo material modifi
cations. Wo can stand It.
Mrs. Morris, who oponed a bakery
hero a fow weeks since, Is building
up a fine trade as tho people havs
a liking for home-mado bread and
pastries. Sho has placed a ulco sign
In front of her business place
A small fire broke out near Bon
Fredenburgh's barn on Friday night
nnd Mr. Frodonburgh styed up all
night nnd fought tho flro and In
tho morning chopped down tho burn
lng tree from which tho flro seems
to havo started.
Ben Fredenburg wishes to correct
the report that tho lato flro upon his
ranch started from his burning tho
slashings. Mr. Frederburg says his
"slashing" had been burnt over for
two years last past and tho Into fire
was started some dlstanco away from
the clearing and was evidently set
out as he thinks most of the present
flrea havo been.
No rain has fallen yet and tho
forest fires are still burning at va
rious points, but are under control
by the soldiers and foresters. Too
much credit cannot bo given to
Uncle Sam's boys for tho heroic and
noble way they have fought these
fires, day and night, and the effi
cient services of Major Martin and
his officers.
Deputy Forest Supervisor Knnpp
of Portland has "been upon tho
ground hereabouts superintending
the firo flghtesrs and he reports that
thp fires about Dudley are about
out and that Mr. Spencer, tho quar
termaster of the camp. Major Mar
tin, commandant, roports that the
squad of soldiers, which were at
Dudley, haxe gone to Joint Captains
Upton and Offley at Inlmaha and
that tho fires are under control.
There Is no doubt that most of
the fires have been set out by men
who do not care what destruction
of property they cause or how many
lives they endanger and they are not
chargeable altogether to "campers"
or stockmen. It would be a good
and wise thing for tho legislature to
alter the present deer law and have
the season open not earlier than Oc
tober and this might lessen the num
ber of forest fires.
We would call attention of the
supervisor to the approaches of the
new bridge on the Eagle Point road
about a mile out and near tho Irri
gating ditch. Tho places should be
gravelel and fixed up like It had
been done by some one knowing his
business; also to the defective bridge
near Brownsboro. There Is a dan
gerous hole In the surface and a
rock has been placed over tho hole;
also to the need of a footbridge in
front of the Palouso ranche so that
people can cross with some degree
of safety.
The quartermaster's department Is
dally hauling In supplies for the sol
dier boys, but Its Is rumored that
the troops will soon be called back
to American lake; If so, tho people
wish to extend their appreciation to
them for the invaluable services
which they have rendered and the
very excellent manner in which they
acted and the courtesy of Major Mar
tin and his officers. Uncle Sam
can be proud of this First regiment
of regulars and they always will be
welcomed to our midst, and hope
they will have a glorious future.
'FINAL TENNIS MEET
ON NEXT SATURDAY
The final meet of the Southern
Oregon Tennis association will be
hold on tho Oakdale grounds of Med
ford, Saturday, September 10. This

Medford teams will be: Mr. An
drews and Mrs. Brush in tho ladies'

men's singles.
Tho contestants nro nnxious to
