building eommodious barn for Roy
Jordan on his ranch in the neigh

Eugene on Tuesday and is now en-
gagged in farming.
James Watson, a we'll known busi-
ness man of Los Angeles, and owner
of a fine tract Of land in this COM
munity, is here at present. He came
here accompanied by a friend, Uric
Allen, also business man of the
California city, over a week ago,
since which time they have applied
themselves to the task of cultivating
and other kindred work. There is
some prospect of both gentlemen To-
eating permanently in our midst. We
should welcome them in the event
of their deciding to take up their
residence with us.
We regret to learn of the ap-
preaching departure from our midst
of two of our neighbors, Dr. Marsh
and Mr.. Thurlow, both of whom
have decided to transfer their resi-
dence to Glendale.
While enroute to their home at
Ashland in a brand new Studebaker
car, the Rev. DR.. Dunlap and little
boy stopped off to visit with the Sta
son family and proceeding on their
journey were accompanied by Mrs,
Stason and her daughter, Alice, who
will spend a few days at the south
ern city.
Several minor accidents have oc-
Cured in the neighborhood since
last writing. Harper Steward had
the misfortune to cut bad cash in
his leg last Saturday while cutting
wood at the Stass place. What might
have proven a serious accident be-
fell Henry Darcy on Thursday. He
was assisting in digging a we'll on
Roy Jordan's ranch and had reached
a depth of some 40 feet when a
bucket, used, we presume, for rails
ing the debris, fell from the surface
and inflicted a bad scalp wound.
Ralph Stewart was the victim of a
knockout blow on Saturday, May "a
while acting as catcher for the Wolf
Creek team in the game between that
aggregation and the Cow Creek boys
Mrs. Kiethley left for her home al
Heppner, Oregon, on Wednesday af-
ter almost a months visit in these
parts.
Miss Allen visited at the Lichten
berger home over the week end. She
left for Grants Pass on Monday.
The closing exercises in connection
with the local school was attended by
one of the largest crowds ever pack
ed into the schoolhouse. Every sea-
was appropriated and even standing
room taxed to its utmost capacity
The program was of very high or
der and reflected great credit upol
the responsible party, Miss Haze
Grimm. who presided At the clos'
of the program the ladies passed
light refreshments, after whicl
games were INDUCED in.
The departure of Miss Haze
Grimm to Portland enroute to Ia
coma, was the cause of universal re
gret. Many were the expression
heard as the crowd consisting of bot
young and old gathered at the de
pot to bid her adieuN Miss Grimm
has been the teacher here during tn
past term and by her winsome way
and consistent life has endeared her
self to each and all Her relation
ship to the pupils under her car
has not been that of the stereotyp
teacher but rather a friend, and b
her persistent effort and self sacr
flee, has succeeded in bringing tn
school up to a high standard. Sh
was asked to return for anothe
year. but in Difference to her sister
wishes has gone to Tacoma to undel
take work in the school of that cit.
In spite of her refusal of the pos
tion here for another year, the n
sponsible parties still entertain tn
hope that she may reconsider her d
cision and return.
