the twists of storms and the whirl

"Say, Mister Editor. do you realize
that there are great many new or
chsrds being set out in Josephine
county this season. was the manner
in which one observing citizen sc-
costed the newsgstherer as he was
vending his way hither and thither
in quest of news items. Eyes, there
are. many new orchards being started
this year. l did not begin to imagine
on what large scale this work was
being done until learned that one
small store out in Williams Greek dis.
trict had alone ordered no less than
seven grabbing machine outfits for
parties theresbouts and that is bat a
sample of what is going on all over
this big county. So / say, we may
expect great things from this growing
industry in the not very distant
future"

Here is an item that appeared IN
"The Republican, of Wenatche7' the
well known fruit growing section
of Washington state and it has called
forth long and loud protest from the
Medford Mail: "H. A. Chaplin re-
turned Tuesday from a trip to the
Medford and Hood River countries.
He is better satisfied now than ever
with this valley. He sa!d that a
great many of the roads leading out
of Medford are impassible now on ac-
count of the mud and are in that con-
dition six months in the year. AS far
as the fruit condition Is concerned he
.ays that they raise fine fruit there
but the yield from five acre orchard
here will more than equal that from
10 acre orchard in the Medforc
country. Mr.. Chaplin put in fe"
days at Hood River, and, as he ex
pressed it. 4 would mot live there
under any circumstances. -

Not a Safe place.

Old Aunt Hepsy Garside never had
seen a moving picture show before.
She gazed in speechless wonder at
the magic continuance by which mes
senger boys were made to move with
breakneek speed. BARRIERS to shave
their customers in less than a min
ute and heavy policemen to dash
along the street at a rate never at
tanned by living specimen, either
on or on duty.
1t was all real to her. She could
not doubt the evidence of her senses.
All those things were taking place
exactly as depicted.
Presently an automobile came In
sight in the far background. moving
directly toward the audience at the
rate of at least mile minute. Just
as catastrophe seemed inevitable it
swerved aside, passed on and dis
appeared,
Aunt Hepsy could stand 1t NO
longer. Hastily grasping the hand
of her little niece she rose and start
ed swiftly for the door.
Come along, Minervy! she said.
1T amt safe to stay here any longer.
That thing didn't miss me more than
two feetl Youths Companion.

'Daddy'?"
Abram nodded with tears in his
eyes as she continued.
How we stood over the little
white casket and cried together and
wondered how we should liver"
Yes, Marthy." chokingly.
Then you know how little Fred
came. and how we loved him and
about his getting drowned in the

many times in her mind that she was
quite calm now as she reviewed 1t
again.
Don't, Marthy." sobbed the gray
haired man; Il can't bear It.
And then the twins" she persist

before we had hardly learned to
know them"
Yes, repeated Abram family.
\He sat with his chin sunk upon his
II Aest and the tears trickled down

Abram?" resumed the weak voice.
