HUCKLEBERRIES ARE FEW
Luscious Fruit is Scarce This
Year on Upper Rogue.

1t is said that huckleberries are
few this year on the famous Huckle-
berry mountain on the head of Union
creek. \ late frost is responsible for
the short crop. Many people in Jack
son and klamath coun ties are in the
habit of making annual trips to
Huckleberry mountain in the berry
season for the purpose of gathering
the fruit and many of the Klamath
Indians make the annual visit to the
patch. The berries are of the blue
black variety and are exceedingly
large and of the most excellent flavor

MYERS IN JOSEPHINE
President of Exhibition Commits
sion Visits Our District.

Jefferson Myers, president of the
State Exposition Commission. says the
Telegram, comes back from his Coas
tour of unknown Oregon with glow
ing accounts of the peoples enthu-
siasm regarding the Lewis and Clark
Exposition and their enterprising
spirit
As an instance of the genuine in
terest with which Mr.. Myers gets
around, he dug up dozen young red
wood trees from the line between
California and Oregon and packed
them over stage routes and in Pull
mans for 400 miles, in order to present
them to Park keeper Lowitz, to have
them planted in canyon at the City
park. Tho trees are fine specimens
and it is believed that If planted in
the swampish land in the canyon at
the park, they will flourish. The
trees were turned over to the park
superintendent, with injunctions to
do the best he could with them.
Mr.. Myers talks in gratihed strain
of his reception by Josephine county
people and their expressed determina-
tion to prepare q fine exhibit for the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, and for
st, Louis, Mr.. Myers says that

much encouragement towards gather

of the resources of that county. Mr.
Myers was Informed that more gold
was dug out of q smaller area of
ground in Josephine county than
probably any other area in this
county.
"Tho whole county" said he, sis
a gold mine. There is immense
mineral wealth around the Saylor
diggings, in that county, and was
shown mighty fine evidences of it.
The banks of Grants Pass have ar
ranged to exhibit several boxes of ox-
traordinarily fine gold nuggets to
make known something of their
mineral wealth down in that section.
| was immensely pleased the way
propositions were received looking TO
advertising the county and making
exhibits. The coast counties will do
likewise. My journey from Crescent

probation than ever of the wonder

the extent of this state. saw red
