beautiful starlight nights? Once
moore the flowers are with Us and the
air is buzzing with humming birds
and bees. The fless have ceased to
hibernate and mankind once more
feels their omnipresenoe. The pc.
litical wind singer once more has the
field, what more can there be to make
Oregon life complete?
ky" makes noise like one who
loves the community in which he
lives. He is the kind of link
thrower" that is q credit to his
country and makes a home paper
worth reading. How we wish we had
more like him.
Fruit trees. vines and plants, never
looked finer Elk Valley than now,
and everything bids fair for good
crop, although the industry is young
here. We have not a large valley
like the Applegate and only have
few settlers as the most of the agri.
cultural land has been gobbled up by
the timber crooks.
D. L. Webb returned from Grants
Pass the first of April and was a very
sick man. Nevertheless he had to re.
turn to your city in answer to sub
poenae Of Uncle Sans ON the Sd and

Tommie Gilligan has been very sick
with the grip" the past week. 1t

Grandma Webb has slightly i'm
proved in health and can now get
about the house part of the day. Miss

to our knowledge
Uncle Ebe came to Oregon with
only 30 cents in his pocket and now
he has nothing left but his appetite
and post office address, but is very |
optimistic in regard to. the future
just the same. Every cloud has the
sun behind it. At any rate we carry
a clear conscience and have never re-
gretted the day We comme need to
breathe the life giving ozone of the
Siskiyous
VIM. Turnham of Grants Pass and |
some unknown parties were in ouI |
valley last week cruising timber on !
some homestead entries here. Seems
as though most Of the homesteaders
take the land simply for the timber
and 50 sure are they of acquiring the |
land they send In buyers before they |
acquire title to it. This may be right
according to some peoples way of
thinking.
Yes, primary election is almost up
on us.
