Sheep si i caring la in progress In this and surrounding districts and hundreds of fleeces of virgin wool have been re moved from tho bucks of the patient sheep during the jast week. So fa us has been r-j ported by sheep owners, tho wool clip Is not coming up to expectations and for some unaccountable reason is not up to tho usual uverugo In weight. Although smudging was resorted to in many of our orchards thero ap pears to have been practically no danuigo from frost in orchards where no means of protection were used. John 'Williams of California, who Is a brother of Mrs. Wm. Vaughn, was a visitor at tho Vaughn home for several days last week. i Will Lydinrd, the Medford- mer chant, made his regular weekly visit to the homo of his mother last Sun-i day. - I M. R. Harper waB unfortunate in1 losing a valuablo horse one day last, week. J. C. Pendleton, deputy assessor, has finished his work in this district' and is working in tho Trail district.) He informs us that a maternl cut has been made in the assessed valuation: of cattle, while the valuation of mer-l chandise has been raised. D. W. Bee be of Agate has a dozon incubators working day and night to supply the A. L. Seabrook poultry farm with a large flock of baby chicks. The first spraying for codling moth, on apples has been completed in this district. Margaret Collins and Melvln Har per are writing on tho eighth grade examination this week. Miss Helen Lydiard, who is attend ing an art school in Los Angeles, Cal., very pleasantly surprised her home folks and many friends on her arrival home Tuesday evening. She accompanied Dr. Kingo nnd family, who motored up from south ern California and are now visiting Mrs. J. IH. Lydiard and Miss Grace Lydiard, mother and sister of -Mrs. Kingo. The Modoc ball team was defeated in a close game last Sunday by the Antelope team on the victor's home grounds. The two teams seem to bo about evenly matched, as each team has taken a gitme from tho other and in both instances by close scores. The three members of our county court were official visitors in this section last Friday. They were secur ing right of way for tho now road and, making arrangements to .com mence construction work on tho same. This road will follow tho section line between sections nine and ton, beginning at the Harper ranch and running duo north and striking' tho Antioch and Sams valley road at the Ezra Webber place and it is claimed will shorten the road into the Meadows country to quite an extent. A large crew of men and ma chinery are nt work on the road be tween tho Bear Creek bridge and the Central Point cemetery and havo tho road torn up so that it is almost impassible. , Tho Table Rock school, accompa nied by tho teacher and several par ents and friends, attended tho field meet last Friday at Talent and highly enjoyed the day, besides cap turing several ribbons in tho con tests. Melvin Harper captured a blue rib bon In the broad jump, whilo little Miss Flora Collins succeeded in taking three ribbons in the races. We seem to bo going through an epoch of fenco building in this dis trict, there being more new fences under construction or lately finished than for any year since tho last flood. "California has its charms, but thero is no place like tho Rogue River valley,' remarked Miss Helen Lydiard upon her arrival hero after some nine months spent in Los Angc- le.i. Several from this district attended the services at Sams valley last Sun day, conducted by a gospel team from Medford. Religious services will bo held at the Tablo Rock school house nt 7:30 p. m., May 20. Tho meeting will bo ,111 charge of a gospel team from Med ford, composed of sincere,, Interest ing spenkers, who will bo assisted by able musicians and singors. Every ono Is cordially invited nnd should try and plan to attend this meeting. EAGLE POINT EAGLETS A. O. ITowlett I soo that by some means In making my report of the visitors at tho Sunny side hotel on Sunday, April 29 that the name of H. Q. Wiener was left out. He is a young man from San Fran cisco and Is the guest of the Drowns with whom he hoarded when he was In business here having charge of the Butte Falls lumber yard at the P. & K. depot. Another mistake I noticed was I am made to say that Mr. Hanna was hauling ties for tho P. & E. It. R., when It should hnve been the South ern Pacific, but mistakes don't make haystacks; If they did I would have hay to sell all the time. Last Saturday morning as I was making my rounds among the first men I met was John Rohlnson, Sr., and I noticed that he had his hand in a sling and his thumb tied up and I Inquired the trouble' and he explained that he had the misfortune to have his thumb cut in working with a spraying machine. There was something wrong and he started to fix it while it was running and just then he looked around and put bis hand la the wrong place catching his thumb about tho f first joint, but it was so badly bruised ; that the doctor had to cut it back so ; as to take about tho entire thumb. And whilo wo were talking about it a : car drove up and a young man by tho name of Cann crawled out with a pair of crutches and on Inquiring learned that whilo nt work with a foot ml 2 he stuck It into his leg making uu usly wound. Mr. and Mrs, A. II. Thomas, ono of our prominent citizens nnd wife, started for Medford in tliolr car, she going to have some dental work done. Charles Hanscomb made a business trip to Medford Saturday and J. 11. Stello, one of our newcomers, went up to Derby Saturday to visit his son, returning Monday on the stage. In my last lottor 1 spoke of Mr. Lowe being out horo posting bills and Saturday It. D. Henson, a foreman for Foster & Kleiser, cumo out with a helper nnd tore down the thveo bulle tin boards that were standing on the corner opposite tho blacksmith shoo as tho lot had been sold to George Holmes, our garage man, and he want ed to build a large shed where they wore standing and Monday they start ed to put them up down by the Eagle Point State Bank building. When it was discovered that tho boards were being removed there was considerable comment as to the character of the bills being posted as the most of thorn were advertising tobacco in Its various styles of putting It on the market but mostly cigarettes, and that seemed to be the principal objection to the boards. In talking with Mr.'Honson about tho remarks I had heard made with regard to the display of the big ads advertising tobacco ho admitted that they were very objectionable to many people and he himself would much rather have diffreent ads, but the selection was not left to them. Among the business callers on our merchants aSturday weer Alox Vestal, Wm. Holmen and family, C. E. Wy more, Derby, and Bud Obenchaln, Alox Mathews, Mrs. C. A. Prultt and J. M. King, one of the bridge builders on the P. & E. R. R. force and Mrs. Thomas Stanley, and the most of these were met either at the postoffice of at the McPherson store. Among the guests at the Sunnyslde Saturday who are not counted as reg ular boarders were A. R. MacDonald, one of our retired capitalists, C. J. Soman, Medford concrete manufactur er, W. P. Cole, Central Point, A. D. Parker, Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Mrs. Myrtle Coleman of Joseph, Ore. came in Saturday to visit Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ashpole. I met J. H. Hannaford of Derby tho same day trading with our popular merchant, F. J. McPherson. Ray D. Sloan of Grants Pass and G. W. Rose of Medford were here for sup per Saturday night. ' When our ladles start in to do a neat job is demonstrated by tho way they managed to raise funds to buy ball suits for tho'J'JaslO Point ball team. They arranged during tho week to give a dance and supper last Saturday night to secure funds and from what I can learn had ono of the neatest and best parties they have had for a long time, charging one dol lar nnd ten cents a ticket, the ten cents for the U. S. revenue tax, and tho receipts of the evening amounted to $208. Wherever tho ladies start to do a thing they always go ahead and do It just as they did In fencing nnd Improving tho park. I am requosted to state that tho Paront-Toachors association will moot nt the school houso on the 18th of May at 3 p. in., It being tho last mooting when tho toachors will bo with thorn during the season. A cordial Invita tion is extended to every member to attend as there will be an important business meeting held at that time, Sunday evening nt 8 o'clock there will be a meeting nt tho Euglo Point church of the Christian workers of Medford and Phoenix, who will con duct religious services.

I am requested by the ball boys to ,tonder their thanks to the ladles of Eagle Point and vicinity for the fine supper they swerved nnd the mnnncr In which they managed the dance given Inst Saturday night to raise funds to buy their ball suits.
