everything the name implies.
You'll want to fry it for break
fast with the fish you catch at
sunrise, and you'll want it again
with the supper fish. You'll ap
preciate the sweet, mild flavor
that comes only when prime cuts
from young pork are sugar cured
just right.
Keep a side of Fryb's De
licious Bacon hanging in your
cooler, ready to slice for the
home breakfast, ready to give
a good campfirc meal when the

Tho Phoonlx choir moot twice each
week at tho home of Mrs. Ruder for
practice. Tho Bound of tho music
and Hinging is very enjoyable for these
fine evenings to the near neighbors.
Out of tho threo hundred buby
chicks bought of W. J. Warner of
Medford by your correspondent, only
six have been lost, and threo of them
were killed nceldontly. They havo
bton tho peppiest bunch of chicks in
all the ohiekens I havo over raised.
Itevereml nnd Mrs. Iteo dreturncd
from their (rip to Vancouver, accom
panied by Air. Heed's mother, who
will visit with tho family for a timo.
Mr. and Mrs. II.. 13. Powman were
at tho Plant farm Wednesday after
several hundred tomato plants. Mr.
llowmnn has tho llurnett place rented
and will plant a good big garden on
the place.
Mr. and Mrs. W. .1. Bradley of Tal
ent wero in Medf.ord Wednesday,
dnhiK trading. They took some, vege
table plants back homo with them
from C, Careys,
A. 8. Furry had tho misfortune to
loose a nice young cow that was out
in tho pasture on tho Wheeler place.
Mr. Furry hud not seen the cow for
several duys and when ho went to
tho pasture ho found her dead
Mrs. Walter Allen has had charge
of tho thinning crejv on the Hartsell
ranch the pai.t ten duys. The Aprl
cots are all thinned and tho pears
will be tho next of the fruit to be
thinned.
The concert given at Phoenix Wed
nesday evening was hardly as much
of a financial success as Ib generally
met with in Phoenix. Twenty dol
lars was tho sum added to the piano
fund, which tho ladies have under
taken to ralao in different ways.
Tho lasst week of school' Is near-
lng a cloac, and then the Bchool work
Is over for this year. The graduat
ing cards aro -out and the members
of tho class aro working hard for tho
final ovoning's tribute, tho well-
earned diplomas.
Talent Is still all cxcltomcnt over
tho prospect of oil in the city limits.
Thoro are some unusual minerals in
tho Burnott well, and analyslsts say
it is oil. It smells like oil, tastes llko
oil. but who says It will burn?
Mr. and Mrs. Will High and Ed
Richardson loft for Dorrls, Calif.,
Wednesday morning, whero Mr. High'
went to look after his several prop
erties, and Mr. Richardson will look
for work.
It does seem a nltv that there
should arlso a sort of squabble ovor
tho irrigation water Just when tho
to sot out their fields of tomato
plants. Wo havo heard that an in
junction suit is ponding between the
Talent and Medford companies. If
thlH bo truo tho water may bo held
out of tho ditches for somo time,
causing no end of inconvenience to
the land owners. It would seem that
tho price tho water is to cost the
user is enough, nnd him have what
there is to bo had, without his being
held out on account of petty differ
ences between tho two companies.
Work has ngaln becn halted at tho
Trlgonia well. How long tho work of
recovering tho lost drill will last, re
mains a guess. It seems that triorc
is somo spell working to retard the
work at this well, if it is not short
sro of fuel. It Is some breakdown.
China Is a long way off yet.
NlchelB, Wisconsin, came in Saturday
afternoon. They were brought out
from Medford by II. E. Campbell and
wire, our bankers, and engaged hoard
and lodging. Mr. Walker came out to
look over the old Snowy Ilutte grist
mill with a view to purchasing It. He
looked over the property on Monday,
and Tuesday made a trip to Medford,
and I think Jacksonville to make fur
ther investigations. He Is a practical
millwright and miller and the prospect
Is that the old Snowy Butte mill will
be started up again and business In
that line will be revived and the good
old days come again when our streets
will be crowded again with farmers
delivering their wheat.
There 1b a young man stopping here
by the name of C It. Folsom from
Klamath Falls who was so unfortu
nate as to be run over by a truck and
had-his hip and leg broken and was
confined to a hospital in Klamath
Falls for some four months but is so
now that he can do light work such as
assisting in the culinary department
in a rood or logging camp.
. Last Saturday night the following
men came In and spent the night: C
F. Arrant of Talent, L. P, Drown of
Ashland, C. It. Gannew and W. F.

the Anderson sheep camp to shear his
sheep. .
John M. Allen and wlfo of Derby

urday In making my rounds I also met
Tliomna Riley, son of Joe Riley, who
farmers need It In order to be able"" driving a truck hauling lumber from

the Hays mill. ' Ho had his truck here

In my last letter I spoke of Miss
Rose V. Wood of Santiago Btopping
with us Friday night nnd going to her
now home Saturday but she only went
out riding over the country and re
mained here Saturday night going up
to her new homo eight miles beyond
Butte Falls Sunday. She is pretty
plucky to start out in the timber to
live alone in the woods with her near
est neighbor a mile away, but she
seems to be very determined, and says
she made her start in the poultry bus
iness in California.
Sunday was one of the most noted
days we have had here in our little
town for a long time. By eight o'clock
a. m. tho crowd began to gather on
the ball ground and by 11 a. m. the
crowd became so large that one who
was not posted might have thought
that we were going to havo ono of
those disgusting prize fights between
two or more of the modern gladiators,
but it was nothing moro than two
ball games between four baseball
teams. The first contest was between
the Antelope team and the Modoc
team and was to be commenced at 11
a. m. and about that time, as near as
I could learn, they did commence, and
the result was the Antelope boys
came out victors with the score stand
ing 24 to 12.
About 3 p. m. the game between the
Grants Pass team and the Eagle Point
team commenced and the result was
that our almost invincible team lost
out. the score standing 17 to 4 in favor
of Grants Pass.
About the time that the first game
got underway dinner was announced
at the Sunnyside and judging from the
number of persons who were there It
looked as though there would be room
at the tables to spare, but the few who
were there ready had not been seated
before a crowd camo rushing in,
passed through the sitting room on
the run and three of them halted long
enough to shako hands with me and 1
remarked that I did not know any of
them and one man said his name was
Johnson of Ashland, a brother of the
Jeweler of Medford, and In less time
than It takes to write It the two tables
holding 24 were filled, and I did nut
recognize any of them except F. J
McPhorson, wife, son nnd mother.
Mrs. W. G. McPherson of Portland,
nnd by the time they wore nil seated
the sitting room bogan to fill and then
I began to try to got the names of the
visitors who came later but thero was
so much excitement that I found that
I had a difficult task but 1 secured a
fow of tho most prominent. I soo that
I have on my list Dr. F. II. Ingram
Frank Herbert, Margaret, Ellon nnd
Mrs. Ingram of Grants Pass, Mrs,
Etta True, Mrs. Mnmlo Gray nnd John
Foster of Medford, and tho following
Is a list of the Grants Pass ball play
ers. I did not secure the given names:
Messrs. Coburn, DroulettQ, Meeker,
HearlBs, Wolf, Walters, Ingram, Ben.
nett and Waters, as fine a set of husky
young men as ever handled a bat.
As near as I could count we had
between fifty and sixty-here for din
ner, for they kept coming In up to
near two o'clock p. m. Quito a number
of the Grants Pass people remained
and took supper.
At night tho following members of
the Christian workers of Medford and
vicinity came out and conducted ser
vices in the Eagle Point church: Dr.
W. W. P. Holt, 'E. M. Hussong and
wife and Frank Smith. Dr. Holt pre
sided, rend the latter part of the 31st
chapter of the Book of Proverbs be
ginning at the 10th verse nnd mado
the opening prayer. There were sev
eral songs sung by the congregation
and somo special songs by Mr.. Smith,
and then Prof. Hussong gave us a fine
talk appropriate to the occasion, It
being Mothers Day. This was follow
ed by a selected song by Mr. Smith
appropriate to the occasion, whon he
gave us a flno talk on the value of a
mother. The promised to try to ar-
rnnge to have some members of the
band come out again on the 27th, the
fourth Sunday of this month, but wero
to let me know In timo to put the an
nouncement In my Eaglets to be writ
ten on Wednesday, May 23.
