Sept. 26.-Williams school opened
after the summer vacation on Monday
OF last week, and is running smoothly
under the guidance of Miss IdeJe
Whitehead of Amhdor City.
The grape harvest is on IN earnest.
and the growers are rushing matters
with due regard to the threat of early
rains.
L. ID. Davis is in Plymouth. his
school having opened Monday the
10th.
j. B. HarreIl visited Sacramento.
recently.
f. A. Ball, who went to Suffer
Creek to open the school there, was
temporarily incapacitated by an
attack of rheumatism, and had to
give place to a substitute for the first
few days.
j. l.. Davis of MADEIRA, was visitor
at his old home for few days last
week. leaving Friday for Sacramento.
where be spent short time with his
mother and brother Robert Davis,
who has been in the Sisters hospital
for about five weeks. He is so far i'm
proved that he has been given the
promise of an early return to his
home.
The team attached to Burka's meat
market wagon ran away while on
their regular trip through the valley
Monday of last week. They over
turned the wagon early in the race
and broke loose, continuing their
homeward way free of all responsible
ity. They we're stopped after about
mile and half, without injury to
themselves. The canvas cover to the
wagon was wreck, aud the driver.
Trevor Weston of Plymouth, collect
Ell few bruises when the spill came.
but no other damage was done.
While on his visit to the home
folks, James Davis of MADEIRA, drove
to Plymouth one evening to spend a
few hours with his brother, Il. ID.
Davis. During the evening the horse
managed to loosen the rope with
which he was tied, and wended his
way placidIy homeward, leaving his
eIstwhlle driver to make the best of
the matter of a four mile walk
When the brothers separated for the
night, the trail of the dragging rope
told its own story, so Mr. Davis was
able to start home with no anxiety
about stolen rig. The upgnided
horse made the trip without accident
until he came to the sharp turn where
the road to the Davis ranch leaves
the main road, at this point the
buggy ran against the fence, and
tipped over. breaking one shaft.
When Mr. Davis arrived on the scene
his horse had dragged the overturned
buggy about twenty yards and was
still! patiently tugging at the un-
wieldy burden. The damage except
perhaps to the drivers feelings was
merely normal. Shan

COLLECTIONS IMPROVE.
Export Trade Better with Decline in
Prices. Says Dun.

New York. Sept 13-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
Retail trade increases at the leading
cities as the vacation season closes and
the opening of fall lines is attended with
satisfactory results. As the staple crops
are secured and marketed a prompt i'm
provcmert in mercantile collections
throughout the agricultural districts, and
the decline in prices was especially help
full in stimulating export trade. Free
shipments of grain and cotton are parti-
cularly desirable this year on account
Of the relief that will be given to the
money market. There is still much con-
servatism in placing contracts for future
business and decreased speculation is an
other factor that aids In restoring normal
financial conditions.
Failures this week in the United States
were 10 against ia last year and in
Canada "a against &c last year.

Other favorable developments are tho

more irregular features presenting them

the crop outlook as a whole Is only fair

In the leading industries the notahl"
