Howlett j It was announced in the Medford Mail Tribune last week that there would be a meeting of those interest- cd in the federal loan law at the tii'hoolhoiise in Eagle Point last Sat urday afternoon and that Mr. Ueiiner ot Talent would be here and give an explanation of the workings of the law, but when thu time eame for the meeting it was found that Mr. Hei- nier was unable to be here, as he had to stay at his station to meet one of the nigh officials of the 0. A. C, so K. II. Hard eaine in his place and gave us uiioiher lecture, illustrating it on the blackboard. The chairmen pro tern, L. 1C. Haak, was detained, so that he could not be in attendance, so .1. W. Orover was called to act in his stead, and after discussing the subject of the boundaries of the association to bo formed, it was de cided to leuve the matter to be de cided at the next meeting, as there are "some in the Brownsboro and Jiutto Falls sections who prefer to come into the Eagle I'oint associa tion, mid uftcr . discussing some minor subjects it was decided to meet fit the enll of the chairman pro tern and nt that time elect the board of directors, decide on the boundarias, and elect the permanent officers. The prospect is that we will have a strong association here, us there are n number who own land and have not the. means to improve and stock it, that eel 'that they can afford to pay a low rate of. interest, snv 6'A or even the limit, B percent interest on long loans, nnd by that means make something off of their land instead of simply living on it paying taxes on it and deriving no revenue from it. Mrs. John Orcb, wiie of one of our prominent farmers, '.lent to Hert ford last Friday and spent a few days with her daughters, who- are attending the Medford high school, returned Monday morning. . , R. E. (ICmtnit) Ncwlau came over from Table Rock last Monday with n load of wheat lo our mill to ex change for Hour, bran and shorts. .Speaking of the Snowy Butte mills, I am glad to say that they are doing n good business and have a demand for all tho product of the mill they can put out, and Mr. Brandon tells me that thoy have quite a huge lot of wheat on hand, enough to keep them running for quito a while yet. Mrs. Harvey Stanley was among tho business callers Monday anil so was Louis Jllnss. Word came Tuesday morning of the death of Kdwin Uaynian, a nephew of our townsman, F. Lewis. He died December 12 in a sanitarium in Salem. He was afflicted with tu berculosis and lived for quite a while With his grandmother, Mrs. Hecka thoin, nnd after Irving different remedies went to Salem, where he finally succumbed to the dreaded , disease. The remains will arrive in Ccntrul Point today, Wednesday, but the arrangements for the funeral will not have been completed until the ar rival of his father from Arizona. W. T.

Jakei Jonas. Mrs. Minnie Bryant, formerly of j this place, but now of Medford. came out on the P. & E. Tuesday to look j alter business. Speaking of the P. & F.., when the train arrived here the motive power was confined to the locomotive that is dubbed with the num.. ,il "tin. 1 spot," and ulthou.'li tlnno ,,.,. c. or five passengers on board and two of them got off here, and they had no extra ears, simply tho passenger ear, mey dm not get back from Ilutte Falls until 5:30 p. m., although the iti-ucuuiB ume is :;::.'., and the result was that wc had no mail from Med ford Tuesday evening. It 'appears that when it is going up to Butte Fulls lhat tho grade is so steep that the poor little engine gives out or has what the medical faculty would call heart failure, lint T uuruin tl...i ttie expenses on the railroad nre so imien more man tlie receipts is one reason wny mo railroad company still holds on to it as n makeshift in an emergency, but it is n serious dis appointment to the people to miss the mail.
