CENTRAL POINT, Oct. 21. A
certain elderly lady of this town who
has a neat little home and also a
neat woodshed full 'of heavy, warmth-
giving .winter wood, recently locked
up her cozy homo, boarded up the
woodshed doors and betook herself
off to visit nearby relatives for a
month. The visit she greatly enjoyed
but like all things it ended and the
little lady found herself on the way
home again. . When she reached
there the house and outbuilding
looked just as she ltad left them and
she once more unlocked -the door
and entered the door of her dwell
ing. Finding it a little cold i n thn
house she went to the woodshed and
alter much labor succeeded in un
fastening the boarded up doors ai.d
went in to get some wood. The
wood, or most of it, was still there
ana so was something else, a pair of
men s neavy leather work gloves.
They are good gloves, and as they
can be of absolutely no use at all to
the owner of the place, if the gentle
man who owns them will kindly ge t
them, he may have them any time, as
the little lady is sure he needs them.
It would be a good idea for all peo
ple who read this to take heed and
not leave traces such as gloves in
places where you have no right to be.

highly respected and very well
thought of wherever she was known.

Elmer Ivey was a guest at Arthur
Moore's place Sunday afternoon.
School will start In district 80 as
soon as the teacher can arrive.
L. A. Whitley has built a log root
house for the storage of Ills garden
. Last week I took a ride out over
the hill on the old Young place, pass
ing by the old Peter 'Britt and. the
Holbrook places and turning in the
gate so that I could have a fair viow
of the Ringwood orchard from the
brow of tlie hill near the residence of
A. G. Bishop so that I could have a
fair view of the volley aolng the
bench of Rogue River and also have
a fair viek of the orchard at the foot
ol the hill, while I was on my way
down to the George W. Given dairy
and- poultry farm. And when we ar
rived we found Mr. Given and
Charley out In the yard engaged in
conversation with J. .II. Carlton and
another man who I took to be ilia
sheep" border, for he had his sheep In
an adjoining field or rather alfalfa
pasture, and they were discussing the
subject of "What to do for sheep
who had the bloat," for it appeared
that after turning the sheep Into the
alfalfa that .they . became troubled
with, the bloat and several of them
had died. But this is a diversion
I started In to tell of my trip to the
Given place and to try to tell what I
saw while thore, and that is easier
said than done. Shortly after our ar
rival we also met Mrs. GiTen and her
daughter, Miss Ruth, and two men
who had been engaged in building a
new house, one of them was by the
name of Applegate but the other
name has slipped my mind, . they
were just putting on the finishing
touches on a beautiful eight-room
house with all modern conveniences,
lath and plastered all through with
an old-fashioned fireplace, for George
said that when he came in wet, tired
and cold he liked to have a good
warm fire to sit or stand by. He had
bought the best of lumber and the
work showed that the workmen un
derstood their business. It is ar
ranged so as to have hot and cold
water in the house with bathroom
and toilet and wired ready for the
electric lights, and it is but a short
distance from the main electric line
leading to Eagle Point, and Mr. Given
has already made arrangements with
our popular and efficient painter,
Sam Courtney, to do the painting on
the inside of the building.
After yiewlng the new building and
its immediate surroundings we then
turned our attention to the orchard,
he does not claim to be orchardist,
or make the orchard business a spe
cialty but he has some as fine fruit
as can be found In tbo valley and one
feature is that it is almost entirely
free from worms, and one reason for
Lit is that he keeps some fine looking

cldentully took a look at his nine
fine cows and three h'undred white
leghorn hens. Speaking of his barn
he remarked that he had a hundred
and fifty tons ot hay in it and I be
gan to look suspiciously at the barn
and Inquired how large It was and he,
reading my thoughts, remarked that
It was baled hay, and then ho hud
three lurge stacks outside and a
small stack of baled hay and his cows
and horses were feeding in a alfalfa
field that looked as though it would
yield a half or three-quarters of a
ton to the acre and I inquired why
he had not cut that and he said that
he had o much hay already that he
did not know what to do with it. We
then turned our attention to the hens
as we were retracing our steps for
the house, and it was about feeding
time and when the call was made for
thorn they came from almost every
direction nnd presented a fine appear
ance. Asked about the eggs he re
plied that they were molting and
were not laying much but that they
were getting quite a lot of eggs con
sidering everything. So turning our
course and bidding the family fare
well we started for home returning
by the lower Butte Creek bridge and
passing by where our road supervisor,
Wm. Perry, was putting up a stone
crusher, preparatory to filing the
road from the old Britt place to

Our annual school meeting to vote
on the budget was held in the Sunny-

altho notices had been posted for
some three weeks there was a very
small attendance. There has been
quite a lot of grumbling in the dis
trict on account of the high taxes and
the clerk, Mr. Lake, urged the voters
personally to come, but they forgot
about it and the result was there was
only nine persons present, the three
directors, clerk, Janitor and four
others and the vote stood eight for
the budget as arranged and one
blank. The object was to vote a tax
so as to pay ot all of the outstanding
warrants and start on a cash basis
and then keep out ot debt, and thus
stop paying over $123 interest every
year.
