SOCIETY
Y
Lent is being religiously observed
by the greater ninjority cr society
folk and social doings avo few and
far between. With the exception oi!
he meeting of the regular card clubs
but little is going on, or will be, un
til after Easter.
At .12 o'clock noon yesterday nt
the home of Mrs. George II. llarroun,
2500 Harrison street, was celebrated
the marriage of her daughter, Kuth
cryn and Mr. Leonard Howard Willctt
of Mcdford, Oregon. Before tho
ceremony Miss Myra Hello Vickets
hang words set to the music of Men
dlcssolin's "Spring Song," followed
by the Lohengrin wedding march
played by Miss Mildred Vickcrs. To
the accompaniment of harp music
by Signor Ruso, the wedding service
was read by the Linwood Methodist
church. The bride was attended bv
her littlo niece, Margaret llarroun of
SI. Joseph, as ringbearer, and was
given in marriage by her brother, Mr.
A In n L. llarroun. Only members of
the families nud close friends were
present at the ceremony, which was
followed by a wedding breakfast.
The bride wore n traveling gown
of lavender broadcloth and gold lace
hat trimmed in velvet aiwl pink roses.
She carried a bouquet of orchids and
lilies of the valley. The house was
decorated in spring flowers, except
in the parlor, where the ceremony
was performed before an altar of
palms, ferns and Killarncy roses.
Garlands of Southern smilax adorn
ed staircase, doorways and chande
liers. Mr. and Mrs. Willctt will bo at
homo in Mcdford, Oregon, after April
15. Kansas City Times.
The weekly mooting of the Ladies
Aid society was well attended Wed
nesday afternoon, thirty-five or more
being present. The occasion was
one of uniisunl interest. As they
had as visitor Mrs. HilN and Mrs.
Weam who arc touring the Pacific
coast in the interest of Home Mission
ary Work. As the ladies wcro busy
with their rugs, fancy work, quilt
making etc., they were entertained
by ucoour of the different schools
maintained by the women of tho M.
K. church in various parts of the
United Slates and it is hoped that
many who have novcr been interested
itnlie education of girls and boys and
unablo to do anything for themselves
will bo aroused to the duty of as
sisting in their great work.
The iriicsp'Mi of establishing a sun
shino deparoinbut in the society was
discussed at some length, and we
trust ero long it will bo one of tho
chief features of aid work. Pre
parations are going in for an Easter
salo and promises to bo great. Tho
date will bo announced soon. Tho
ladies are urged to be prompt in at
tendance, as there is much work to
bo done in a very short time, and all
are requested to bo presont next week
at 2:110 p. in. with a mind to work.
The Womans Home Misionnry so
ciety of tho M. Et church, held their
quarterly tea last Tuesday afternoon
at the homo of Mis. C. W. Coukliu.
The Last Great
When tho husbandman and tho
flockniastcr sucecdod by the French
trapper in tho occupancy of south
western Oregon, tho geographer
changed tho spoiling of tho word
Rogue, as applied to the stream that
finds birth on the green timborod
slopes of tho Cascades below Crater
lake, and after a short but turbu
lent career pours its volume into the
Pacific, to Rogue. The transition
jvas natural and unpremeditated.
Tho Frenchmnn saw in tho tints of
the wator a real or fancied rosomb-
lauco to the Rougo of his sister'
hand-made complexion; biter comers

The Roguo River valley lies down
on the California lino, separated from
that state by tho Siskiyou mountains,
with tho Umpqua mountains to tho
north, and tho Cascades and Const
Range to tho cast and west, being
hemmed in on all sides by towering
peaks, timbered and snow capped,
giving tho valley climatic conditions
all its own. Climate, wo are told, is
what we havo with us all tho time
while weather is whta happens, and
the Rogue booster says his country is
long on climate, but that weather sel
dom occurs. The winters arc mild,
18 to 20 above zoro being tho lowest

summer boat, while occasionally up
around tho century murk, is tem
temporcd by the brcezo from tho
mountains, and "tho nights aro al

mont that cnu find no starting place
in tho Roguo valloy, and tho trees
grow upright and symmetrical, with

find iu a lo sheltered country.
The vallay propor has an average
width of about 10 miles, and a length
of SO, but in addition to this there

By far the most enjoyable moot
ing of tho Wednesday Study Club
this year was hold last week at tho
homo of Mrs. W. I. Vuwtcr. Tho
affair was quite n society event and
many of tho society folk, who aro
not members, vcro fortunate enough
to receive invitations.
Mrs. Vawtcr becomingly gowned
in pink silk with black jit trimmings
received, asisted by Mrs. E. B. Pickel
in a handsomo gown of bluo silk and
Mrs. Ilollis in a striking 'bordered silk
crepe gown.
Tho beautiful home of Mrs. Vawtcr
was darkened and lighted by pink
silk, shnded cnndles. Vases of pink
carnations nnd ferns wcro used.
Tho effeot was particularly good
in tho dining room, where elaborate
refreshments were served. Especial
credit is duo Mrs. J. M. Hoot who
was in charge of tho program and
read tho paper of the afternoon. Af

Tho Illinois Society gave a most
cnjoynblo affair Tuesday in the

lund. The production of "Fra Dravola"
under tho auspices of the Elks was
a great success. Tho cast was good
and an unusually good show was
put on, particularly for an "amateur"
one; but the cast contained so many
who have been professionals that it
could scarcely bo put in that class.
And it is to bo hoped that Hie Elks
will repent the event next year.
The order of the Rebokahs of Mcd
ford , Jacksonville, Ashland, Gold Hill
and Central Point met Saturday night

to 2000 feet at Ashland. Mcdford,
which lios at about the center of the
valley, having an elevation of 1100
feet.
Tho rainfall of tho valley is an
average of 21 inches por annum,
largely in tho winter and spring
mouths, with an occasional flurry of
snow that does not lie long upon the
ground. To augment tho light rain
fall of tho summer months the num
erous streams, branchos of thu par
ent Rogue, are being requisitioned to
supply water for many private and
public irrigating systems.
The Rogue, like tho Klamath, is
an old settled country, for 00 years
having yielded up an easy living for
the fanners and stock raisers who
lived there in content. But a fuw
years ago it blossomed out as a fruit
district, taking front rank iu tho pro
duction of apples, pours and grapes,
reaching out for, and grasping, too,
capital prizes at national apple shows
and fruit fairs. Two varietios of ap
ples, the Yellow Newtown Pippin and
tho Spitzenberg, are boing planted
iu the main now, as those roach the
highest development and command
tho host prices, but sevoral varieties
of pears, as the Cornice, Bartlett.

out in proof. Think of a single tree
yielding $122 worth of Ncwtowns,
and nn aero netting $2187.50 at the
orchard! Of course, these two in
stances aro exceptions, but the re
turns are so alluring that prices of
good orchard lauds have gone up
ward by leaps and bounds, and the
sales of developed orchards are
made at better than $2000 per acre,
while $1000 scorns a common price.
Undeveloped lauds can be purchased
in tho main valley at from $75 to
$300 per acre, according to quality
and location, while year old orchards
sell at from $300 to $000 per acre.
