MURPHY ITEMS.

Henry Rehkoff, one of Applegate's S
enterprising farmers, was business
visitor in Grants Pass Monday.
George Dunlap is moving his fam
lily to his farm near Provolt, where
he will stay until he gets the crops
all planted on that farm and then
in the spring will move back to his
nice little ranch near Murphy.
William Fields and family, who re-
side near Provolt, came down from
that place Tuesday TO spend New
Year with their folks near Missouri
Flat.
We are sorry to state that Clinton
Cooks daughter, Vivian, who was
operated on for appendicitis not long
since in a hospital in Grants Pass, is
not improving very fast, and from
what we can learn is in a serious con-
dition at present.
We are liable to have to pay more
for our clothing this winter than we
had intended to owing to that 125,-
900 garment workers going on
strike, but we have always managed
to live through the ones heretofore
and l am of the opinion that we viii
make it all right with this one.
The old year has passed and We
hope the coming of the new year will
give us all those proposed railroads
that we have been looking for SO
long. We hope that by the end of
1913 We can go sailing over the
Hayes Hill behind a huge engine
pulling coaches and sleepers and
then we can look back to the end of
1912 and say that We are glad that
we are one year older, and not be
trying to wonder what has become Of
the past year.
