e, N. Provolt, Thos. Lewman and
Ulysses Provolt of this place were at
Missouri Flat Saturday after cattle
that had come from the GrabyacK

of that place. We find stock looking
fine and pasture good but, o, we
found nobody taking any interest in
the new creamery which is to be
erected in the next month or in the
new rural telephone which will ce
erected from Grants Pass to Murphy,
Provolt and Williams. What is the
matterg Missouri Flat is place of
many industries and has a fine farm
ing section Of the Applegate Valley
where beef cattle are fed and sold it
also has two stores, postoffice and the
famous Mt. Lion mine which makes it
necessary for rural telephone and
creamery. Farmers, put your interest
in this great industry and help'shove
it to the front and be one among the
rest of the fertile valleys. Do not
stand behind, but join in with p.
W. NJ. and help the valley to com.
pare with the famous Rogue River
aud Hood River Valleys We have
the soils, We have the water so now
let the citizens do the rest.
