point to the fact that ere. long English
walnuts will have become quite an
output of this valley.
P. B. M. Burrows, who has choice
tract of orchard land at New Hope,

from the Major Britt nursery, OF

defect can easily be over looked, when

TIMBER L0CAT0RS AND
MINERS MAY CLASH
Letter Declore That Many Peo-
ple Are Being Fooled In
This Matter.

As the demand for more timber
lands increases, naturally enough
choice claims become all the scaroer
and cruisers are having to scour the
woods for any tracts of land that may
have been overlooked in former days.
Quite naturally enough this condition
of affairs has led to some friction be-
tween the owners Of mineral claims
and the hunters after untaken lands.
I. X. Sheaffer, who has two promis-
ing mining properties, the Apex"
and "Tenderfoot. both situated in
the Dry Diggines district, and show
ing good gold and copper ere, in
formed the Courier scribe that already
timber cruisers were bringing and To-
eating strangers on the miueral lands
and he predicts that there is going
to be considerable trouble over this
very matter.
Mr.. SheAffer states that in many
instances the mining claims have
been located for the past eight or 10
years and that in many instances they
have been successfully worked and
now the timber men would force
them out and have the newcomers
file on the same.
But" said Mr.. Sheaffer." they
find that they are tackling a mighty
big undertaking and soon there will
be something doing and somebody
will wish that they hadn't meddled
in these matters. But I am not 60
ing to mention names, although I
could do 30. IL I so desired. We are
merely waiting to SEQ how far this
thing is going to spread before we
take decided stand and put the in
trudsrs to route"

JOSEPHINE WOMAN AL
MOST TURNS TO STONE
Body Upon Being ExhUmed After
Seven Years Found to Be
Almost Petrified.

This week J. F. Garlick, former
resident Of Josephine county returned
to this locality from McMinnville,
where he now resides, for the pur-
pose Of having the body of his mother,
who died some seven years ago, ex-
humed and shipped to their old home.
back in Nebraska. George Cronk,
who has had charge of many such IN.
dertskings. was engaged to open the
grave, which was located out on the
old homestead, on Jones Creek and
after digging down some five feet. he
was astonished to find that the casket
had become unsealed and that the
body was almost petrifed.
Speaking with the Courier man about
the strange occurrence, Mr.. Cronk took
occasion to say: eyes. it was very
strange find. Why the body was rs
lieflike as could be. the skin appear
ing as fresh and solid and lifelike as
though the interment had taken
place only few days ago. instead Of
seven years ago. There was only one
slight discolorstion. Otherwise the
body was very we'll preserved aud We
could take hold of the limbs aud lift
the body up without its bending,
showing the body was petrified.
"How do I account for it? Why,
simply by the fact that the casket
must have been full Of cold water all
this time and the body was thus kept
practically in cold storage, IS it
were. This is the only instance Of tho
kind I have ever had, although do
recall where the body of little girl
was partially petrifed. I have had
charge of the removal Of a great
many dead bodies, too.
The body was shipped to the Ne
braska home, Wednesday morning
and instead of there only beins'a few
bones and some hair, as the son fully
expected to find, it required a good
sized casket to contain the remains.
