T. C. Norris returned Thursday from
a three day’s trip to Big Butte where he
had been to show Thou. McC lander, a
prospective s-ttler, the rich land of that
section.
Mamma Schmidt left Tuesday for
Dunsmuir where »he will spend a week
with her daughter, Mrs. L. Savage, after
which she will go on to San Francisco to
spend a week with friends. iMiring Mrs.
Schmidt’s absence the Schmidt boarding
house is presided over by her daughter
Mrs. B. F. Hanney, with Papa Schmidt
as officer of the day.
George Hamilton moved his family
Ixick to Jacksonville last Sunday from
Woodville where he has been hauling
lumber from the Evans creek mills to
Wixxiville. Mr. Hamilton is now help
ing S. C. Swaggerty and Basil Gregory
on a contract of hauling lumber from the
Iowa Lumber Company’s mill to the Ray
dam on Rogue river.
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. James left Friday
for Tacoma where they will reside for
this winter, but there is a likelihood that
they will return to Jackson county next
spring. Mr. James is a millman by trade
and has been employed in the saw mills
in this vicinity for some months past and
as the mills «rill soon shut down for the
winter he goes North where he can get
steady work at good wages.
The mill of the Iowa Lumber Company
is now making an average of 25.000 feet a
day, an output that has not been had pre
viously since the mill was started over a
year ago. Another fact that is of special
interest to the stocknolders is that the
output for last month was 150,000 feet
greater than any previous month and
with a much less expense account and
the output and lhe expense account for
this month promises to lie even more sat
isfactory to the stockholders. President
C. Hafer and Treasurer E. E. Hart, both
of Council Bluffs, Iowa, will arrive in
Jacksonville the middle of next week.
Their coming is in connection with pos
sible changes in their plant here that if
carried «rill be of great advantage to
Jacksonville and vicinity.
J. S. Herrin, a pioneer of Rogue River
valley and who had a donation claim six
miles east of Jacksonville, but who for 21»
years past has been a resident of the up
per valley, four miles north of Ashland,
; was in the countyseat Friday.
Mr.
Herrin has one of the finest bands of
sheep on the Pacific coast. He is breed
ing the Rambouellett, a celebrated
i French wool and mutton sbeep. These
sheep average 200 pounds in size and as
wool producers have no superiors. From
j two bucks Mr. Herrin sheared this last
j spring 86 pounds, the heaviest clip being
i 46 pounds, a record not equalled in this
I county and excelled by few sheep in the
Unite*’ States. He has many ewes that
shear 18 pounds each year and raise a
lamb. The wool is fine in quality and
brings the top prices.
Mr. Herrin has
2000 head of these sheep and he has
never fed a pound of bay or grain in any
winter. In the summer he runs his
sheep on the mountains on the head of
Applegate and when the snow drives
them out in the fall hs takes them to the
l high hills east of this valley until again
j compelled to move when he takes them
to the lower levels where he has pastures
that have been held in reserve for them.
In the winters when snow covers the
pastures he puts them on brush land and
they brouse twigs and such grass as they
can dig out of the snow. He says that
he has a smaller per cent loss of sheep
or of lambs than do the sheepmen who
feed whenever snow is on the ranges. He
\ has all his fall and winter ranges fenced
and is thus able to hold the feed until
wanted and he lets the sheep on only a
small part at a time instead of running
on the whole of it and then starving.
