fine body of timber to cut into rail.

Farmers are busy cultivating their
gardens. The hay crop will be ready
in few days as soon as the farmers
can get their hoeing done. Strawber-
ries will soon be in market. If the
people would raise early strawberries
the market would have been supplied
long before this time.
As our school is out, the teacher
gave basket social at Virtue's hall.
Some baskets brought good price,

Handsome always draws, you know.
The party was large and every body

The democratic party accuses Bryan
Of treachery to his party. One faction
wants to put a new plank in their

perhaps some frosts in certain

warm at present. everything grows
fast. When we read Of snow two feet

The remarks Of Schnider" on the
fish law in this issue are appropriate.
The rumor, backed by statements Of
responsible men, is abroad that the
hatchery men are killing the salmon
trout to keep them from eating the
salmon eggs. The rumor is persistent
enough to call for statement on the
subject from the fish warden and the
hatchery men. The clause Of the fish
law which prohibits taking salmon
with gig is an unpopular measure. No
great number Of salmon have ever been
taken with a gig. The gig IL the
weapon Of the man who is not fisher
man, but who wants fish OF two TO
eat. Gig fishing is confined to very
short seasons naturally and might
have been let alone by the Legislature
with good effect.

The Grants Pass board Of trade Is
sending petitions throughout the
county for signers to protest against
the creation Of the forest reserve, for
which reserve no rational reason can
be conjured up under the sun. IL Is
hoped that those to whom these peti.
tions are sent will interest themselves
personally in the matter to see that
the petitions are placed before the
citizens at every opportunity. Be-
sides the many evil general effects Of
this creation, which are apparent to
all, IL must be remembered that,th
matter vitality affects the construction
OF the Oregon g. Pacific railway, from
which this county hopes 30 much.
Timbermen, miners and all classes are
uniting in opposition to the reserve.
Some very prominent miners who at
first looked upon the reserve without
disapproval have changed their minds
on further investigation and are sign.
ing the petitions. The matter is Of
personal interest to every resident Of
this county and every citizen shout
sign. ~

HENRY Jones IS MISSING
Unexplained Disappearance o
Evans Creek Stockman.

The sheriff and other officers of the
county and town have been trying
without success for the past week to
unravel the mystery Of the disappear
ance of Henry Jones, a ST. ckman whose
home is near Woodville. Nearly two
weeks ago Jones was in town and in
quired the way to Is. Dimick's farm
just west of town to look at some
cattle with view of buying. He is
supposed to have started to 60 to
Dimick's but he never put in an ap-
pearance there. Absolutely nothing
has been seen or heard Of him since
that time and how to account for his
mysterious disappearance is problem
which remains unsolved at the present
time. There is strong suspicion
that he met with foul play at the
hands of some one, yet the most dill
gent search has failed to reveal any
traces of crime. There is a certain old
we'll around which marks were seen
which were supposed to be foot
prints. This we'll was cleaned out but
nothing came to light. Mrs. Jones is
utterly at loss to account for her
husbands disappearance. The idea is
now advanced that he might have
simply, for some reason, quietly left
the country, though no one knows
why, boarded the train and gone to
some other point, in which case he
will doubtless be heard of in time.
However, he was not in the habit OF
remaining away from home without
notifying his family of his wherea-
bouts and he had promised his wife
that he would be home on the day fol-
lowing that when he was in Grants
Pass The case is a very puzzlinR
one. Mr.. Jones was large man over
six feet in height and was about AZ
years old. He as known to have had
considerable sum of money at th'
time of his disappearance.
