JOSEPHINE COUNTY HAS
GOOD FRUIT LANDS
The Lindlay Place Will Be Set
out to Apples and Pears
This Winter.

The fine fruit lands of Josephine
county, of which there is as large an
acreage as has Jackson county and
four times the area of Hood River
Valley is soon to be made productive
and this section of Rogue River Val
ley will be shipping apples, pears,
peaches cherries berries and melons
by the hundreds of car loads. Rails
ing hay, hauling wood and lumber
and mining has heretofore occupied
the greater part OF the time of the
farmers of this county, but they are
finding there is but bare, hard liv-
ing in that and those inclined to or
chard work are turning their atten.
tion to fruit raising and the others
are selling out and giving palce to
men who realize the big profit that
there is In fruit raising. The result
is that there was more trees planted,
more spraying and caring for of or
chards this last year than ever before
in the history of the county. The
present year..will show still greater
increase in tree planting and in or
chard care as many tracts of land are
being bought by new settlers who in
tend to take up fruit raising.
The 160 acres farm lately sold by
j. L. Lindley to p. B. Herman and
d. H. Flynn, is to be changed from
hay and grain to growing fruit.
There are now 90 acres planted to
year old Spitzenburg and Newton ap-
pies aud five acres in bearing trees of
various kinds. The remainder of the
tract will be planted this Winter to
Spitzenberg and Newtown apples and
to pears about an equal acreage each.
Mr.. Herman and Mr.. Flynn are both
from st. Paul, Mimi, where they
were in business and each have their
families here with them. They are
bright, hustling men and their train
ing in business has taught them the
value of thoroughness aud promptness
in doing their work and the profitable
ness of producing firstclass article
and Of having it strictly as repre-
sented when it is placed on the mar
ket, whether it is apples, plows or
prescriptions and consequently they
will make successful orchardists.

Rogue River Valley and as the new
owners have ample means to i'm
prove it Oak Grove will be one of the
fruit farms of this Valley that will be
a pleasure to show visitors and a

have the effect of throwing obstacles in the way of maintaining business ac-, tfvity at its high level. Reduction of output. cutting down of working forces. cancellation of contracts: sfalI in prices of commodities and retrtnch ' ment in all forms. together with re-s striction of orders for future delivery which form the burden of incoming re- ports. occasion no surprise to specu- lative sentiment which Is registered earliest an1 most accuratelly in the securities market.
 The present market is inclined to reflect the opinions on the future. The action of the market may be fairly in- terpreted as offering the good propor- tion of hopefulness for a short duration of tho crisis and for an early restora- tion Of normal conditions and a renew ed start towards the revival of the prosperous activities in which the country was previously engaged.
 Confidence Is felt fin the solid basis of that prosperity. and 1t Is believed that the experience through which the country is pessfng contains In itself the forces of correction of the condf- tions which were placing a limit on that prosperity.
 A lower price level for materials is a conspicuous example of the line upon which this needed readjustment is now working. The lower prices of se- curities also is having the effect or attracting capital not only from do. nestle but from foreign sources. thus unlocking force of replenishment, the lack of which had come to be the lead ing factor fin bringing the course OF progress to a standstiil.

MISS RILEY BRIDE OF SIXTH WARD
 ALDERMAN.
Ceremony at Rectory of st. Peter's Chureh Last Evening Win Be Surprise to Friends of
 Young Couple.

A marriage in which the many friends of the couple will take a great deal of kterest took place last evening at 6.30 @b'clock in the parlors of the residence of Rev. Father Dennis Saw age, of St. Peters Church, who officiat- ed 1t was the wedding of James J |. Sullivan and Miss Kate Riley.

to crack. There was time not many months ago when the production Tn this district was disturbed because of short raw material supply. Several ore mines in the immediate Birmins- ham district were idle but few days since the financial stringency started in. A resumption of work gave the and aroused the hope for a general re- yivai of activity on all sides.
 The Gate City rolling mills have shut down and orders have been transferred to the Bessemer mills. The Birmfng- ham mills are working with reduced force. The cast iron pipe plants are losing no time and there appears to be no reduction in any manner, shape or form in the demand, operation or rio- duction. There is much confidence ex- pressed in this industry. Good prices still prevail for cast-iron pipe. The foundries and machine shops in the BiYmingh am district are feeling the ef- fe;.fs-cf ihe Gu,lbess in pig Iron and steel circles.
 The coal production in Alabama shows but small reduction in out put as compared to the conditions that prevailed several weeks ago. The rail- roads are furnishing many cars yet with which to handle the coal.
 The miners gre not complaining that they are not getting all the work they want, There is no inclination on the part of the. coal miners to leave the district Reports which come from Pennsyivania. West Virginia. Illinois and other coal-mining States, are to the effect that there has htn reduction in output and that general conditions are not as active as they have hten. However some of the ar-ser consuns- CTS of coal do not look for lengthy cessation of operations and have not as yet cancelled any orders for the product.
 None of the Alabama coal producers say their contracts are being held up or that there have been any cancella- tions. Some complaint has been made that collections have been slow, but nothing further than this mas been heard of yet. The mining wages have not been reduced and there has not been any inclination where the mining wage is based on the selling price of iron.
 The production during the month of November will show some difference as compared to the output in October the shutting down of the Gate City Rolling Mills and the blowing out or half dozen and more blast iron lur- naces about the middle of the month to have its effect.
 The coke production is off consider ably. There will be no improvements in this branch of the industrials until the pig iron making picks up again. lust as soon as the furnaces are blown in and iron making gets back to the same condition that prevailed q few months ago. the coke-making will get Active. There has been no reduction in coke prices. for the product is not to be sold at any price just now.

bad neither seen nor heard Of his
faithless sweetheart since the night
she took her freedom, and yet, as II
her frozen memory had suddenly melt
ed, the old longing took possession Of
him once more
Mr.. Patton, carrylr a brown paper
parcel under his arm, set out that
afternoon TO try to find the little mail
whose acquaintance he had made so
lnhaDpily the previous morning He
felt that she could not be dwelling far
rom Ailsa View. SO he began opera
tons by making a careful survey Of
,he shore for nearly a quarter of a
mile. Being unrewarded, he took the
side roads one by one, and then he
wandered up the high Fairlie road, till
at last, tired and respondent, he be-
took himself homeward One thing,
however, had happened during his
walk. He had made up his mind to
burn all his manuscripts.
Ten minutes later he carefully
closed the gate of Ailsa View behind
him. Suddenly he stopped and looked
across the lawn. Here and there his
crocuses had been torn up by hand
tuls, and the narrow walks were sprin-
kled with the ruined flowers.
His eye was arrested by something
moving among the shrubbery in the
direction of the gate. Childish fingers
and his own caught the handle almost
at the same instant. The man, gray
with anger, stood looking down on the
child white with fear.
Whats your name?" asked Mr.. Pa
ton sternly.
'M-Marjory," she replied
'Marjory,' he repeated, gently-so
gently that the child looked up at him
Ia wonder "Marjory, never broke
your doll"

as a tear crept into each eye.
I'm sorry, Marjory," he said quite
Aumbly.
Want me to forgive you?" she
whispered.
Mr.. Patton replied: eff you please,
Marjory."
II forgive you" she said seriously.
And then she burst into tears.
"Will you come with me to the seat
up yonder," asked the bachelor, "and

Then all at once her tears flowed
afresh.
What is it, Marjory? You're not

"W-want you to forgive me-" she
sobbed.

turned gently. but now we must

as they reached the seat.

Without word the bachelor bent
down.
Better now" sighed the child.
"Why you crying" she demanded
abruptly.
Nonsense, Marjory Come away
now and open the parcel. It's a pres
ent to you from me, Marjory."
Marjory's shrill voice rent the air
with one long shrek of delight over
the finest doll that Mr.. Patton had
been able to procure in Glasgow.
Want to cuddle YOU" she whis-
pered.
And he took her up in his arms.

little later, its about time you were
going home.
What will your daddy say to you
for being away so long?" asked Mr..
Patton as they went along the road.
Got no daddy" returned the child.
Daddy dead long time ago"
and your mother?"
"Mummy's never angry-sometimes
sorry" said Marjory.
The bachelor was about to bid her
adieu, but she insisted upon his COM |
ing in to see her other dolly, with its |
head in sticking plaster, and to make
friends with her pussy cat. He smiled |
good-naturedly, and accompanied her |
up the path to the house.
"Marjory, Marjory, where have you
been? cried a voice, and Mr.. Patton
looked so queer that the child gazed
at him in alarm.
