I could always have fished on the
Rogue river without spending the
amount of money which Winkle
Bar cost me, but I felt that the
property waa good mining property,
and I still feel that it Is good min

when I can afford to develop It that
It will be profitable to me as such.
"That was not the only considera
tion which encouraged me to ac
quire this property. I felt that I
owed the country, which had given
me pleasure and about which I had
written, a debt which could be paid
by developing the property which
had obviously no value to any of
the people In that vicinity as It had
been etandlng for years and years

The local tuberculosis Christmas
seal ssle campaign was reported in
full swing yesterday with manv neo-

carry a cheerful message to the
world. Although the contributions
are smaller in many cases this year,
they come from many more homes,
the committee stated. And all do
nations are appreciated, however
small they are.
The schools In Jackson county are
doing much to aid the campaign.
Interest Is particularly high In the
Prospect district, where seven cases
of tuberculosis have been treated
through the discovery of the county
