"Whether or not the city can force a right of way over the Hanley property without another appeal is problem atical. It is a poor lawyer that cannot obstruct and de lay proceedings. Meanwhile, certain ruin of the city's pipeline will follow delay in eomplelion. Wood pipe must not bo allowed to dry out. The risk of destruction is too great to take tho chances. This paper opposed the Hanley hold-up as long as there was no danger of loss by litigation, and a show of winning in an unbiased court. But the city's defeat at the end of a year's litigation puts another face on the situation. The time has come to act when a man has the drop on you. Every day's delay in the completion of the .system costs Hertford a large sum in dollars and cents, and t works an injury to the city. Humiliating as it is, we must make the best of the situation. Sentimental reasons should not be allowed to interfere. ' The city council, which is composed of business men and worthy citizens, and not a "characterless bunch of degenerate renegades," will find whatever action they take toward arbitration and compromise backed up by public opinion, which is. well nigh unanimous for speedy settlement of the controversy. ception l tho general rule of lar.l-,vas burned off to thu required ness nnd worthlossnoss.

Application has been made for another saloon on tho West Side. There is but one bar now west of the tracks and that is in connection with a hotel.' A majority of the people of that section do not want another saloon located west of the tracks. A majority of the people of Hedford do not want the number of saloons increased on either side. While Hedford 's saloons are well regulated and com paratively orderly, there are too many of them for the population. The fewer saloons, the higher the class, the more orderly, and the easier to maintain order. Saloon licenses should be increased to $1000 a year and the number not increased except for hotels of 50 rooms and over. , A bar is an essential to a first-class hotel. There will be no objection to such institutions securing licenses. There will, however, be a decided objection to increasing the number of saloons. Myrum, Table No immunity bath for Jndgc Col vig.

Professor O'Gara has been ordered to return to .Wash ington July 1 by the department of agriculture. His de parture will be a distinct loss to the valley. In the three, years he has worked here all fruit diseases and pests have been brought under control and the orchards thoroughly cleaned up. How well Professor O'Gara has done his work is shown by the fact that such fatal tree diseases as fire blight, which threatened once to destroy all the pear orchards, has been brought under such effective control that not a ! single case has been discovered this season. Professor O'Gara 's work has attracted national atten tion. He had a hard fight in convincing some of the moss backs of the necessit of combatting pests, of the bene fit of heating orchards and of other action essential to successful fruit raising. He leaves the cleanest orchards in the country, the best informed orchardists and a district which does not fear fruit pests nor frosts. Fruit growers of the valley could afford to raise a fund and keep Professor O'Gara, paying him a good salary to take charge of the battle with orchard pests, securing his exclusive services. They would be money ahead if they did and let us hope they will. orod and had a top of obsidian, glass ; And lays a stately codar low er iron.

Let's get that trolley line started in tho near future. A new school on the east side and an annex on tho west side they can't build Medford schools fast enough. It would bo a triumph of cold air over hot if Grants Pass should beat Medford in tho census. Only ono way she can do by Medford people continuing to remain indifferent. Jacksonville is not going to take any chances on missing a railroad a second timo. All Jackson county should pull together for that Blue Ledge road wo don't want it to go from Grants Pass. IHDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Walling's History of Southern Oregon.) Bancroft says: "When preserved for winter use, tho fish wcro split open on the back, tho bones taken out and then dried or smoked. Both meat and fish, when eaten fresh, aro either broiled on hot stones or boiled in water-tight baskets, into which hot stones aro thrown to make tho water boil. Bread is made of acorns ground to flour in a stone mortar with a heavy stone pestle and baked in tho ashes, Acorn flour is the prin cipal ingredient, but berries of vari ous kinds aro usually mixed in, and frequently seasoned with some high flavored herb. A sort of pudding is also made in tho same manner, but it is boiled instoad of baked." The Indians gathered a groat vari ety of roots, borries and seeds, which they made use of for food. Tho principal root used was tho camaH, great quantities of which wero col lected and dried during buuuner and stored for tho coming winter's pro vision. This is a bulbous root much like an onion, and is familiar to near ly every old resident of Oregon. An other root, called kice. or knee. wn held in high esteem; it was bulbous, about un inch long, of a bitterish taste like ginseng. Tho iu-aro-pun, or e-par root, was a prominent ar ticle of diet and grew nbundantly upon tho banks of tho Rogue and other rivers. Thero woro several va rieties of grass Bceds. tho huckle berry, blackberry, salmonberry, squawborry, manzanita borry and peruap3 others, which entered into the diet of tho Indian tronorallv. or :ih governed by tho locality in which they grow. At Klamath Lake tho pond lily grow in profusion, and its seeds, called wo-cus bv tho- savniros. formal an article of diet of which they wore very fond. Tho women, as is invari ably tho enso among the North Am erican Indians, norformcd all tho work of gathering those comostiblos and of preparing thorn likewise. Tho men woro not in any degreo an ox- The Pasadena of Oregon People of refinement; pcoplo with means; retired business men; professional men; college and university graduates, aro coming to the Roguo River Valley by tho score. Within the past two years almost a hundred Chicago and IDvanston, Illinois, people have purchased homes near Medofrd, and nearly every one of them has a friend or two whom they hope to induce to come and locate in tho valley. New York, Philadelphia, Boston and many other eastern cities aro almost if not quite as well represented, while St. Paul and Minneapolis have moro representatives hero than any other several cities combined. Think these statements over and get your thinkor going. Write to tho undersigned or the Medford Commercial Club for detailed informtaion about the country, and you will never have cause to regret it. Bearing Orchards Near Medford Most of tho producing orchards have been hold in largo holdings until recently. 9 few weeks ago tho .Eden Valley Orchard, containing GOG acres, was placed on tho market in any desired acreage. Wo have boon authorized to offer tho bearing apples and peai-s for sale, and if you know anything about this country and want a desirablo block of bearing trees, writo or come soon. During tho past week over $150,000 worth of the property has been disposed of. It is located within two miles of Medford at an elevation of about 100 foot above tho city and is ono of tho b'est kept orchards in the world. Parts of tho orchard offered for salo have paid tho owner ovor $000 per acre per year for four years straight.
