Williumette Valley papers and also those of Uni)x|iia are calling attention to the damage that a new weed pest is do ing to the pastures and ranges of those sections. This new pest is known as St. Johnswort or Tipton weed and made its first appearance at Eola in Polk, from seed scattered from packing taken from a crate of crockciv imjiorti-d from Ger many. This weed jiest grows to a height of about two feit and has a yellow bios soul. it completely covers the ground smothering out all other vegetation and is so coarse that not even goats will cat it. The |>est is rapidly spreading and has made its ap|Mearanee oil the Cascade mountains ranges, which it bids fair to overun and ruin. It has not vet made its appearance in Rogue River Valley, but it will not be long until it will be here. Farmers and stockmen should tie on the lookout for it, for if this pest gets a foothold in the pastures and ranges of this Valley it will cause a loss of thousands of dollars to stockmen in damages to the ranges.

As soon as the preliminary survey is completed, the Construction Com pany will proceed to build the road, and intend to let contracts for five or more sections, in order io expedite the work as rapidly as possible. Those wishing to bid for bridge w<<k can also do so without being compelled to put in bids for masonry, etc. In accordance with this plan of construction, there will probabily be a camp near the Forest House, one for the mountain work, another at Fort Jones, and so on where deemed most beneficial or advisable. The recognizance made as to altitude, shown by Mr. Walther, was practically correct in reference to grade of 116 feet to the mile. Unless the Construction Co. should decide to build its own mill, the con tracts for ties will lie let to local parties.

Murqhv has been given a two months vacation by Bishop Christie and has gone to Portland where he will spend his vacation until his assignment which will probably be Eugene. Father Murphy has been highly successful in his pastoral work in Jacksonville and there is a strong bond of fellowship between himself and his parishoners and be has been equally successful in making friends among the citizens, hence his depart ure it sincerely regretted though his friends are glad that he is honored with a promotion to a larger parish. Farther Murphy is succeeded by Rev. Father Arthur Lane, who arrived Tues day and he has been putting in the week in Jacksonville, Medford and Ashland, the three towns constituting his parish, familiarizing himself with Lis work. Father Lane, is a grandson of General Joseph Lane, the famous Indian fighter of pioneer days and for whom Fort Lane was named, that was built opposite Table Rock, on Rogue river during the Indian War of 1855-56, and a son of Lafayette Lane prominent in Oregon history and a resident of Roseburg, where Father Lane was born and raised. Father Lane was educated at Grand Seminary Montreal, and he is a polished, refined gentleman and has the record of being an indefatig able worker in church affairs. This Sun day Father Lane will hold services in Jacksonville at 8.30 a.m. and at Medford 10.30 a. in. He will not hold the usual evening services in Jacksonville for the next four weeks owing to so many of the members of St. Joseph church and of the choir being out of town on their summer vacation, Interesting Court Decision. MUST NUIMAN-TAYLOR CO. JACKSONVILLE, ORE. E5 No. 12 / The general land office at Washington has affirmed the decision of the local register at Helena, Mont., in holding that a mineral claimant to government lands need show only that the indications are such as to justify a miner in further expenditure of time and money with reasonable prospect of developing a pay mine. The old regulations required that land should produce mineral in paying quantities as a present fact. The decision is most important in the mineral development of the country as it gives miners great leeway heretofore denied.
