LELAND SETTINGS.

Prune drying will soon commence.
Our merchants are very busy send
ing goods into the country
Mr.. Ball has returned from Salem
and reports having had good time.
Some days Main street is crowded
with teams so we have to come in by
one of the side streets to the business
part of town.
Our worthy and efficient f. J.
Mackin is busy wrapping up goods
but at the same time will entertain
you with one of his jokes, stock
of which he always has handy.
Some of our land is being surveyed
with view to buying for aclual set
tlement. Land that will make good
homes in this vicinity is being looked
after as most of it Is we'll watered and
adjacent to good schools.
We are having dry weather; too
dry; the ground is beginning to warp,
so we must have rain before long.
Our weather prophet gives it up: all
signs have failed: something is radi-
cally wrong with the planets, they
do not work in harmony.
When we get the wagon road com
pleted down Grave creek and to the
summit of Mt, Reuben then the trade
will come our way through the
natural advantages of the country
although we wish Glendale all the
prosperity she can get
We are selling goods and shipping
far and near; way up on Wolf creek
near Glendale; it would be well for
Glendale to get a business boom first
then boom the town afterwards
That, in our idea, would be good
logic.
We are having some malaria in this
vicinity, it has been dry so long and
the air is full of smoke. Uncle Billev
Cox had runaway with one of his
teams last week. He was hauling
railroad wood from the hills and his
team of fine young horses ran away
down steep hill. One valuable horse
was killed and the wagon was badly
broken NJ. Mr. Cox was badly shak-
EN- up and somwehat bruised but no
bones were broken. We are in receipt
of little paper printed at Glendale;
1t is quite spicy paper. As Glen.
dale is so far away from Leland it will
be II long time before it will be
town Of note.

The forest fires which have been
raging in the northwest during the
past week but emphasize the fact that
too much caution cannot be exercised
in the use of fire during the dry sea
son. During the week scores of lives
have been lost and untold horrors ex-
periencod by those who had to bend
every energy TO escape an awful death
by fire in the forests. Thousands Of
acres Of valuable timber have been
burned, causing loss which mounts
up into the millions, whilo the lum.
boring industry has received II severe
check in some parts of the two states
of Oregon and Washington. Words of
warning and caution were passed
along the line only few weeks ago
but the fires gained control which
could not be checked until the great
damage had been done. Josephine
county needs to be ever watchful 1t
can hardly be supposed that person
would deliberately set n blaze in the
forest, but we have proof that some
one in this county set four fires along
u densely wooded ridge in the space
of an afternoon. Lot us take warn
ing from the events of the past week
which have wrought death and de.
struction so layishly.

FASHION HINTS FOR AUTUMN.

The new drop.yokes produce th,
effect of very dropping shoulders and
are shown in many of the newest
models with yoke of all-oyer lace
extending over the sleeves.
Seams in slot effect remain the dis
tinguishing note in many of the new
skirts and jackets and also in the
smart shirt waists.
There is nothing daintier than we'll
made and exquisitely decorated lin
gerie and since the vogue of faggot-
ing gowns, separate yokes, collars
etc, is at its height, this dainty
needle work is aslo applied to under
wear. The stitch employed is usually
the plain faggoting or herringbone.
There is a wide assortment of heavy
tcxtured or "mannish' goods as they
are termed, any of which are appro.
pirate for Observation-Disclosures.
Boulevard velvet cords are shown
in wide assortment OF cOIOrs, ana
there is 10 more fashionable material
for walking or street costumes.
Embroidery and fancy stitches are
the inevitable mark of distinction on
everything from the dainty stock-col-
lar to the even daintier hose.
Fashion has decreed the extensive
use of pendant and ball trimmings
this season, and a great variety is
exhibited Both black and colored
samples are prccurable, as well as
bits of metal and enamel from which
iridescent beads and spangles are
suspended.
The possibilities of velvet ribbon
as an ornamental feature have won
for it the highest popularity in trim
ming net, chiffon and light wollens.

IT HAS COME TO THE FRONT

II HAS NOME IL IHE fKON I.-
The rapidity with which the Disc
Graphophone has come to the front
is due to the fact that the quality of
the records has been constantly i'm
proved, from the time this tpye of
machine began to be made by the
Columbia Phonograph Company,
the pioneers and leaders in the talk
ing machine art. The advantages Of
fiat, thin and indestructible records
were always recognized but the manu-
facturers who attempted to make
them failed so lamentably in pro-
ducing anything to compare with the
cylindrical records used on the
graphophone that the demand for
them was unimportant. All that is
changed the Columbia Disc Records
are delight. If you have not
heard them you can form no idea of
the advance that has been made in
them. The disagreeable scratch and
the mufiied effect has been replaced by
smoothness, naturalness and bril-
liancy which gives to thier reproduc-
tion most charming effect.
The Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at $l5, $50 and
$50. Seven inch records SOC each, 50
per dozen; 10 inch records 81 each,
$40 per dozen. The Graphopbone and
Columbia Records were awarded the
Grand prize at the Paris Exposition
of 1900
The Columbia Phonograph Com
pany, 1876 Geary Street, San Fran
cisco, headquarters for graphophones
and talking machine supplies of every
kind, will send you catalogues on
application.
