Mr.. Berry Raiser do you realize
that Willamette berries are being

where your berries ought to find a
market? The reason is this; the
housekeeper don't know that you
have berries TO sell IL would cost
you but 90 cents to tell them so in the
Courier classified ads. 1t is much
cheaper and more satisfactory than
"peddling.
We happened TO be in store few
days ago when berry raiser called

the grocer was loaded up. The
farmer went away disgusted and was
heard to "roar" about the grocers
never buying their produce. There
was reason for it which in that

previous the same grocer had tried to
buy berries of the same gardener and
offered in cash the same price the
gardener was receiving by peddling,
but he would not sell as he had
several customers on the way home.
This time the customers did not buy
all his berries and he took the left
overs to the grocer. after they had
been oarted around town for several
hours. The grocer was wise buyer
and had bought his berries fresh in
the early morning. He had a'so had

Meissner resides on fine farm a mile
west of Kerby on the Illinois river and
he is one of the most progressive and
successful farmers of that Valley. Mr.
Meissner has his farm under irrigation
and he was credited by the Agricultural
College professors, who were at Kerby
last year holding a farmers institute,
with being one of the most practical
men in Rogue River Valley in the
proper handling of water to get the
best results. Mr.. Meissner is taking a
deep interest in the Oregon Irrigation
Convention and Rogue River Industrial
Fair that are to be held in Grants Pass
September 10, II and 10 and he and
his family win attend. Mr.. Meissner
declared that this convention and fair
is the best move yet made in bringing

he will do all he can to get the farmers
and stockmen of his section to have
exhibits at the fair and to get all to
attend that and the irrigation conven-
tion.

crossing known as Browns Crossing
about two miles north of South Vernon,
Mr. Chase aud his three men ON their
hand,car followed the regular freight
train No 285 out of South Vernon north
towards this crossing. They arrived at
the broken rail few minutes past IL
o'clock. They placed a torpedo upon the
rail proper distance south of them,
and Mr.. Chase took red lantern and
went north to flag any approaching
train, directing his men in the meantime
10 replace the broken rail, This they
proceeded 10 do.
At ll.33 O'Clock that evening the Bos'
ton a Maine locomotive No. 6ls, with a
Boston 4 Maine engineer and fireman
and Central Vermont pilot, started
from Batteboro bound for Springfield,
Mass. They approached the Brown
Crossing at about 1850 We are salts
fled, and find, that the engineer OF this
locomotive whistled for said crossing at
or about the whistling post, but no one
on the engine saw any red light or signal
of any kind, although the engineer was
in his proper position and keeping watch
out of the side window of his cab. The
night was dark and foggy. One of the
section men at work replacing the broken
rail heard the whistle, and Immediately
the men proceeded to take the hand.caI
from the track, which they had barely
time to do, when the engine passed
them at a speed of about thirty miles an
hour. At this time, they had not com
pleted their work OF installing the new
rail. They had driven only three spikes,
and the joints had only one bolt each
when the engine passed. Immediately
thereafter they finished their work OF
properly securing the new rail IN Its
place. which took about twenty minutes,
Thereupon, they went north to find Mr.
Chase, Justly supposing that something
must have occurred, else the engine would
not have been suffered TO pass him. Al
point about 10 rods north of said
crossing and about 20 or 30 rods south OF
the whistling post they found Mr. Chase
living on his back on the west side OF the
west rail about five feet thercirom, and
his body substantially narallel herewith
with his head toward the south. The TOP
of his skull was crushed in, piece of IN,
soft hat being driven into his head, and
both legs broken between the knee aud
ankle. He was then alive but uncon'
scious. The globe of his lantern wa,
broken into many pieces and scattered
along the rOad.bed between the ralls
The frame of the lantern was broken III
two pieces, one of which lay between
the rails in the center OF the road'bed dl'
rectly opposite his body, and the Other
piece lay between the rails some ten leet
south of his body. One shoe was iound
some 25 feet west of his body. lie was
taken to the Brattleboro Memorial hos
pital where he died at 8 o'clock the next
morning. .-r-l
OF the above facts we are well satisfied
w, ,,o also well satisfied and find, that
