Quite a lot of our citizens will go

The Potasdell big ditch has employ.

been plenty of other work going on
and still some will cry hard times.
In this vicinity is land that can be
bought cheap that will make desirable
homes; this is the home of the big
red apple, English walnuts and all
other profitable nuts can be raised here
in abundance and with profit.
The heavy rain that we received
the forepart of the week gave the
miners plenty of water, so they are
very busy. We have had frequent
showers since, so the ground is well
soaked and the water supply will last
for some time. A very dry Winter
means hard times for the miners also
for the merchants as the merchants
credit the miners if the miues are dry
then the merchants cannot get their
pay. Leland is bacKed up by mines,
also by farms, so we have lively
town. A daily stage runs from Leland
to Greenback also to Placer.

After the death Of Miss Willard in
1898 the National W. G. Il. U. instead
OF erecting marble monument to her
memory, decided to ask each union
to hold memorial service annually on
or near the date of her heavenly birth
day, February II, and to send so to the
fund for the purpose of spreading the
Gospel of temperance. If every local
society would do this many more
isolated places might be aided, for it
is really a missionary enterprise. The
money is used wisely to further the
good cause. February 23 our regu lar
meeting day was observed by the
Grants Pass W. O. Il. U. at the A. o.
U. hall. A good program suitable for
the occasion had been prepared by Mrs.
Savage and every number was heldpful
and in the spirit of the work. Several
of tue Y's assisted aud also some of
our older members. We are justly
proud of our interesting and progres-
sive Y. The meeting closed with a
few remarks and the benediction by
Rev. Mr.. BecKman.

as being blind to the evils of alcoholic
