TO!Tr PXGE SEVEff Items of Interest From the Rogue River Valley PAIR OF GLOVES LUE I 3 - -' ' '? i j i 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.

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 . llim)B lllU ill i lit III If 1MUOI1 j j. . ; which causes practically all stomach.

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.
