SIVE AND ORDERLY
Rey. j. Z. Day Has Busy Sun
days Preaching at Winner
and Woodville.

Rev. j. E. Day, pastor of the Pres
byterian church at woodville. was In
Grants Pass last week. Woodv:lle is
small village and one of the most
progressive and orderly towns in
Rogue River Valley. 1t has a good
graded school of two rooms and one
church edifice, the Presbyterian, and
four well-stocked stores. Rev. Day
stated that his church was well at
tended and prospering, having but
recently taken in seven new members.
The Sunday school is also we'll at.
tended, there frequently being 80
present. John B. Hair is the superin-
tendent and he is a most capable
officer and it is largely through his
efforts that the Sunday school has
such interest and is steadily gaining
In members. On the first Sunday
evening in each month Rev. Day
holds no regular service but the time
is given over to temperance meeet.
ing that is under the direction of Mrs.
Whipple. The program for these
meetings is made up of short talks,
reoitations and musical selections and
the large attendance indicate that the
meetings are popular with the people
of that section.
Rev. Day Is strenuous worker and
in addition to doing the pastoral work
for the church at Woodville is pastor
for the church at Winner where neat
chapel was built a year ago. Mr..
Day breaches each Sunday morning
and evening at woodville and at 8
O'Clock holds services at Winner, to
make the round trip Of Ia miles,
preach sermon and get back to
Woodville ready for evening services
allows him no time to rest In the
afternoon or for that matter no rest
for the entire Sabbath day.
In addition to being successful and
energetic worker for his churches
Mr.. Day has taken up fruit raising
and intends to have a fine fruit farm
to retire to when age shall limit his
work in the cause for which he has
devoted many years of his life. Last
Fall he bought 40 acres of fine land on
Wards creek, mile from Woodville.
Two acres had been cleared. but
abandoned and grown up to brush.
This trac. he cleared and set this Win.
ter to apples and peach trees. He
will clear additional land and con.
tinue planting fruit trees until he has
20 acres to orchard. He may also
plant some walnut trees. About
Woodville is one of the best fruit dis.
tricts of Rogue River Valley and there
already are some very good orchards
in that section.
Rev. Day stated that Rev. Robert
Tweed. his predecessor as pastor of
the church at Woodville. and well
known in this city, left Merrill in
klamath county, where he has been
stationed for the past year, last month
for Southern Idaho, where he was
called to take charge OF a mission
work. Rev. Tweed is a builder of
churches and wherever be is stationed
he leaves a commendable record of his
work. He got the church built at
Winner aud last Fall, completed the
first church building at Merrill, that

Greatest Gains Made In Offerings
Taken BY Exporters, and
Medium Sorts
HOG PRICES ON HIGHER LEVEL
Demand For Best Sorts of Good To
Prime Heavy and Butcher Animals,
Came Mostly From shippers-scaIp-
or. Not Acknowledgement Only in
Medium Class Of Lambs.

Chicago, Feb. 16.-Cattle were NOM
inal. The market has been irregular
during the greater part of the week,
but at the close it was higher than at
the opening. The greatest gains have
been made in the class of cattle which
have been taken by exporters and fof
medium sorts of shipping cattle.
Quality of the run has been very poor
and the Wednesday supply was espe-
cially so, most of the traders claim
ing that cattle offerings were the
poorest seen on Wednesday In long
while With the poorer quality and
big reduction in values, the $500 steer
looks high now, and there has been
a slim number above that price 5of
late. One load made $500 on Monday,
week. and since Monday q few have
landed above 1925.
Cow trade has been disappoint-
ment especially the market for fat
classes, demand of late falling sharply
and bulk of sales in the past few days
have been 26c under last weeks level.
This decline has applied to fat heifer
stock as well as cows.
Hogs.
( Demand was stronger than at the
close yesterday, and prices were on
higher level. For the best sorts Of
good to prime heavy and butcher ami
mails the demand came largely from
shippers, for scalpers were not very
active in the trade. The best price paid
today was 1920. Shippers were in the
market at that figure for few loads
of prime butcher and heavy animals.
During the first helf of this week
sellers were enabled to lift prices to a
good height. the average cost of s7.12
and top price Of $7.25 on Wednesday
being the highest of the year, and the
best seen here since April, 1903. There
has been recession in prices since
them, however, and the range stood
steady to a little lower than one week
ago.
Traders take an optimistic view of
the nearby future market While few
are looking for any marked advance
in values, most Of them do not fear
much lower prices. tho packers will
seize every opportunity to pound the
market hard. Only by continued big
receipts can the latter hope to lower
the range very much, but this con-
dition is not likely to occur, as farmers
are bullish and will refuse to feed the
market literally under sharp declines.
Sheep.
Sheep and lambs have been erratic
this week. Demand for lambs has been
really better for the last half of the
week than it was during the earlier
part, but this betterment has been In
medium class animals, and tops there
fore do not show any gains. AS COM
pared with the best time of the pre-
vious week the market for prime lambs
was 10@15c lower.
There was good call from local buy
ers for finished lambs and shippers
gave better support to trade in fat light
weights, while feeder buyers were
keen bidders for all offerings suitable
for their purposes Demand for in-be-
tween offerings was dull. however, buy
ers endeavoring to make wider spread
between these and better kinds.
