thing to pick up wrapper of thin
paper from a pile without missing one
occasionally, and in doing this the men
adopted different schemes. A new
hand wet his thumb on his tongue for
every wrapper. One who had been
longer in the business and found that
it was unwholesome to be wetting his
thumb on his tongue. had slice OF
lemon beside his pile Of wrappers and
moistened his thumb in the lemon be-
fore picking up wrapper. The scheme
worked we'll. but he did not know
whether the acid Of the lemon would
make his thumb sore or not. A third
man had a thin rubber thump stall on
his thumb and could pick up wrappers
all day long and never make a miss.

j. Q. HARMON KILLED.

]. @. Harmon, we'll known here,
and who has been employed as car
inspector and repairer in the Grants
Pass yards for some time, died Friday
evening from injuries received by be-
ing run over by a freight car.
The unfortunate accident occurred
near the depot. Mr.. Harmon was max
ing some repairs on the wheels of a
freight car. He had no signals out as
he thought the yards were clear. A
freight train, switching in the yards,
jammed string of cars into the one
being repaired and before he could
get out of the way, the unfortunate
mans left leg was caught under the
wheels and horribly crushed and
mangled at the knee. He was taken
at once to the emergency hospital at
the round house and medical aid sum
moned. Owing to his age, and the
loss of blood, his recovery, from the
first, was considered doubtful and he
died within four hours after the acct
dent.
The funeral services were held
Monday afternoon at the Odd Fellows
cemetery where the remains were
laid to rest

REVENUE DISTRICT
ABOLISHED.

The Southern Oregon internal reve-

of Deputy Collector ID. +. Fox of
Ashland, has been abolished, which
leaves Mr. Fox out of place, unless
the department can find some other
field of duty to which he may be
assigned.
The force of deputies is now reduced
and one man will be required to cover
about twice the territory heretofore
worked by Mr. Fox. The Southern Or
egon district comprises much difficult
country, where there are limited facll-
tiles for transportations and the duties
Of collector have been rather arduous,
