 Mrs Edson Mallory has been at Thomas FitZmaurice's for few days. The rain of Friday night caused the river to break up. doing more damage than for several years: It looks as though we would not be able to get down the river road for some time.

TONIC TO THE SYSTEM.

For liver troubles and constipation there is nothing better than De Witt's Little Early Risers, the famous little Pills. They do not weaken the StOm- ach. Their action upon the system is mild. pleasant and harmless. Bob Moore of Lafayette, Ind, says: "No use talking, De Witt's Little Early Risers do their work. All other pills l have used gripe and make me sick in the stomach and never cured me. De Wits Little Early RiSers proved to be the long sought relief. They are simply perfect" Persons travelling find Little Early RiSers the most re- liable remedy to carry with them. Sold by R. H. Beers & &Ga-~-New6oWh: A. B. Blakeman, Botsford.

IN CALIFORNIA,

MT and Mrs Edward G. Clark are prOlOnging their stay in San Diego, Cal, as they are delighted with the place. It is like being in Summerland. Rain came in showers few days be- fore Christmas, and was very well come gift to the country at large, as it had not rained much before in 10 months. The Christmas trimmings there are the beautiful red poinse tti a and smilax, and with these the churches were all handsomely decOrat- ed. On Christmas afternoon, MT and Mrs Clark took long walk over to the grand Coronado hotel, where they had a beautiful Christmas tree out of doors flowers and surroundings were like fairylapd. There are many long rides which MT and Mrs Clark enjoy taking. One day they drove to Mexico, which is only 20 miles distant. Going, they went along the beach of the broad Pa cine Ocean, where surf bathing can be indulged in every day of the year. Re- turning home, they went through the groves Of the lemon, orange, and olive, and walnut. Another day, MT and Mrs Clark visited the San Diego Mis- sion, which is the oldest in California, founded by the Franciscan Fathers in 1762. The old fort where Ramona was married; the oldest cemetery in Cali fornia: the old church: the old mission bells; all these are among the objects of interest to tourists, and kindle en- thusiaSm when seen. Those who are familiar with Mrs Helen Hunt Jack sons pleasing story of Ramona will re- call these places mentioned. MT and Mrs Clark rang the fine old mission bells themselves, and also jumped out of the same window that Ramona did. San Diego is charmingly situated on the bay of San Diego, and has 25,OoC inhabitants. Tourists are there in exceedingly in this veritable Arcadia by the summer Seas.

 REQUEST. The face that once on earth you loved Has gone from you forever But you must hope to meet some day, That place Beyond the River. Eddie has passed from this world Into world so bright, Where the angels are always singing. And where it is never night. God has called Eddie to His home, A home we do not know, But 1t is far, far better Than our humble home below. It was Gods way; His will be done. He has taken Eddie from you, He has gone to far better home. Up above the sky so blue. -t*.-

ture denoted culture that was
striking proof Of the rapid advance
ment that the people Of the rural sec
tions were making in keeping pace in
the civilization OF today. The next
morning M Carter provided saddle
horses for DR.. Withoyombe, Prof.
Cordley and himself and he showed
them over his fine farm, which ex-
tends for nearly three miles along the
south bank Of the Illinois riyer.
Near the close Of their rambles the
party was Joined by Prof. Kent, Mr..
Meserye and ]. II. Austin, the lat
ter being Kerby's enterpfising at
torney, and it was due very largely to
bis public spirit and energy that the
success Of the Kerby institute was
made possible, and au hour WAS spent
in examining the fine cattle and hogs
and the big farm. Mr. Carter has
some 200 head Of cattle some Of
which are high grades and at the
head of his herd he has a thorough
bred Hereford bull tie also has
about 200 head Of hogs, a number Of
which are registered Poland-China
imported from the best herds Of the
Willamette Valley. Mr. Carter had
aown q large acreage to alfalfa, but
as has been the experience Of many
farmers in opening new farms the al
fulfa the first few years produced only
light yields Of hay DR.. Withycombe
Dotng this fact called Mr. Carter's
attention to the lack Of alfalfa bac-
terra in the soil. This bacteria pro-
duces nodules on the alfalfa roots
that enable tine plant 70 utlllEe lhe
oxygen, so essential to its vigorous
growth. To supply this deficiency of
bacteria in his meadows DR. Witty
combe told Mr. Carter to 20 TO some
field in which the alfalfa had a strong
growth and got quantity Of soil ana
SOW 1t on his meadow, putting not
less than 100 pounds to the acre. As
some Of his meadow land was pro-
ducing good crops Of alfalfa while On
other tracts it was almost a failure
Mr.. Carter had come TO the belief that
10 was due TO inferior soil. He told
DR. Withycombo that il was worth
$1,000 to him to learn how to bring
his alfalfa fields up to the normal
yield.

render the choicest selection oil

universally recognized that the
sweetest chords are produced on
chimes, and for this reason the music
from the ringing Of hand bells will
never fail to please every lover OF

house can accommodate only q frao'
tion Of those who will want to hear
this company, therefore better be OF
the lucky first.
Cities Of the size of Grants Pass do
not give the support to companies
Of this class without special inter
est on the part Of the people, and
hence they do not stop here in their
regular tours. By making q guaran-

here, and 1t is in this way that these
companies have been booked. A few
Of the public spirited citizens OF our
city have assumed the risk and have
guaranteed their price. BY securing
concert companies that may be
characterized as eminently popular,
this citizens conn ittee confidently
expect and merit the hearty support
Of the general public. The tioket'

Applegate Valley settlers are noted

rivalry for the honor OF entertain
