]. o. Booth, Geo. Ward and Geo.
Hall left the first of the week for Elko,
New, to inspect mining property on
which they have taken a bond. The
property is rich in copper, silver and
gold as is shown by 7S assays which
the gentlemen have had taken, and IL
everything is as represented they will
probably invest. The mine is about
10 miles from Elko, but only two miles
from the railroad, and it is proposed
to ship the ore to Salt Lake.
W. L. Ireland, agent for.the Crox.
ton property, has sold the cottage
next to the home place on Second
street to Mrs. Mary G. Hildreth, who
will occupy it as a home. Mrs Hill
drsth has lived on the Iowa street
place which she sold to Mr.. Bodwell,
for the past Is years, but feels the
need Of a place less distant from
the business part of town.
Mrs Ora Hood, after selling her
home on Iowa street to Mr.. King
well, purchased a number of lots
with the intention of building resi-
dence, but decided later to buy a
house and this week she purchased
through W. l.. Ireland, the Harry
Condit sixroom modern cottage on
Seventh street opposite the East
school. Mr.. Condit expects soon TO
leave for Portland where he will con-
time his work for the S. P. Co in
the car shops.
j. l.. Lindley is naturally one ofssthe
best natured men who ever struck this
section OF the country but he occa-
sionally has troubles of his own
which are enough to arouse the ire OF
an angel. Last week two Of these
occasions presented themselves. He
drove into town and hitched his team
near the laundry and when he went
! for his team to drive home he found
that some sinner had out the celluloid
rings from the harness and left the
straps hanging. When he arrived
home he found that some one had cut
down his bee tree which was standing
/ in cultivated field little distance

the wood and swarm of hostile bees.
Loss had arranged with q neighbor to
have the tree cut and divide the
honey and was looking forward to
having big supply for the coming
months. Now there are two lots Of
people who want to turn the corner
when they see Loss coming.

Thomas Lewman was In Grants
Pass Tuesday with a load of hay
which he readily sold for $i4 a ton.
This load Mr.. Lewmsn stated would
probably be the last that they would
ever sell. as there was no profit in
hauling hay the IA miles from their
farm on the Appegate. near Provolt,
to Grants Pass and then sell it for SIC
to $l2 ton, the usual price had. 1t
is long day and hard trip to haul
hay from the Provolt section to Grants
Pass, and now that a creamery is in
successful operation at Provolt, Mr..
Lewman is of the opinion that here.
after all the hay raised in that part OF
Applegate Valley will be fed to dairy
COWS. Mr.. Lewman and his father,
J. A. Lewman, will buy dozen OF
more COWS this Summer aad increase
the number until they have all that
they have feed for Alfalfa is grow.
ing well this Spring, and Mr. Lew
man stated that the Applegate Valley
would have the usual big yield OF
three to four cuttings to the acre.
A few farmers have begun moving
their first crop, and so soon as the
present rains are by, haying will be
rushed on every farm.
