Frank Neff has moved and settled
in his new bouse on bis 40-aere tract,
one mile west of the Little White
store. Mr. anil Mrs. JNett are to tie
congratulated on their splendidly
appointed home. Mr. Keff Is the
architect and builder and 1ms spared
no expense or work In making It com
fortable and attractive. His selection
of this home site Is uo mistake; over
looking the valley to the east and
sheltered on the west and lying under
the Hone ditch, lie will soon convert
this forest land into a paradise. The
land is One for apples. It la an east
slope and was formerly covered with
oak, 163 cords of four-loot wood having
been cut from about eight acres lust
winter. The stumps will be pulled
next winter and their places will be
tilled with the red apple that always
brings a fancy price. A reservoir will
be built on the hill and 111 led from the
Rone ditch, where water will always
be in store for Irrigation purposes. The
grounds about the house will be plant
ed to flowers and small fruits, which
will not only beautify the borne but
furnish the table with choice berries
and fruit. The blooming flower gar
den will prove the home attraction,
while the famous apples will bring in
a princely revenue. He Is just now
adding to his Improvements, a shop
and an outdoor cellar. A peep at the
interior finish of the house at once
convinces one that Mr. Nell' is a me
chanic. The permanent cupboards
and tlx lures having been made part of
the building is well worth looking at.
The kitchen treasure is a home product
and complete in evpry detail. Such
Improvements are arguments in favor
of the future of the valley, and such
families as Mr. Nell's are valuable
acquisitions to any community.
These charming autumn days have
theelleetof making everybody good
natured, for these cool tiighsa and
sunny days add not only health to
our people hut untold wealth to our
vullev. in placing me prize-winning
color on the apples and at the same
time giving them the keeping quality.
These perfect sunlit autumn days are
welcome guests ana serve not only
to lighten our pathway through the
winter that must follow, but also teach
us another and perhaps a more impor
tant lesson, that amidst life we feed
upon death, for were it not for death
in the vegetable kingdom and the
reuniting of ita forces In springtime we
could not live at all. Then let us tie
thankful for the punning seasons.
While 'tis true to some of us, they
seem to come too often, yet if present
opportunities are improved we are
always ready lor I lie next one, no
matter then if it be the last one.
The unqualified success of the fruit
fair is a mutter of comment tiy all
those who witnessed, and I take this
opportunity to publicly thank the
management of tiie fruit growers, for
the industry and generosity displayed
in making it the greatest apple show
in the world. The result of such work
will surely prove fiir reaching In its
effects on ihe future of our valley. 1
have already reud a glowing account
of the same from the pen of J. C. Hay-
tor, who runs the Polk County Obser
ver, (my old county.) This Is the only
eouutv paper I read save the (Jlaclcr.
Utheis, no doubt will follow suit. 1
beg to say here that 1 am proud of the
liberal and generous policy adopted by
the press association In declaring their
columns open and free in la-half of the
lx-wlsand Clark exposition. Much
good will result to the state at large
; and to Portland in particular by such
a course. The country editor has much
to do In the way of blazing the road to
the future greatness of bis country, as
well as In moulding pu. die sentiment.
Ho give him a kind word and help him
lu ail lauduble enterprises.
In company with 11. C.Crockett and
I wife, wife and I attended the Dukes
Valley literary last Friday evening.
After a musical and literary program
was rendered the local option question
wub discussed. The leaders on the
question were: D. L, Davidson on the
affirmative and Gilbert Kdgington on
the negative. After listening with
Interest to the arguments pro ami con,
we came home fully convinced as to
how we should vote on the question.
If all the parties who cheered the local
option speakers had a vote, local option
would undoubtedly sweep Dukes
Valley, but notwithstanding the appar
ent feeling it) favor of the affirmative
the decision wbb rendered in favor of
the negative. Dukes Vulley possesses
both musical and literary talent, and
as most great men come from tiie
country districts Dukes Valley should
be heard fiotn. They are to be com
mended for their enterprise In furnish
ing profitable entertainment during
the long winter evenings.

the vulley. For Information see Ros
well .Shelley.
In order to close up the wood busi
ness for the season the Little White
store offers a few ricks of good pine
block wood delivered in town at
reasonable prices
Why go to town for goods when you
can suve flic hauling bv trading at the
Ut'le White Store? The store is here
lo stay ; and why? Because its prices
are Invariably right. No trouble to
show goods. Then If you don't pur
chase it is our fault, not yours.

ment is to always be busy when your

you know how to make a pie.cook a din
ner, and keep the house neat and clean,
then if he is too slow to take the hint,
put on your big brother's No. 10 boots

swung on your dud's gate and used the
coal oil, and it is time to speak up or
move. If this don't go right to suit you,
