TIIE thanks of the community aro duo to Mr. llnwloy for his good work in scouring for Medford, as far as tho house of representatives is concerned, an appropria tion of $.110,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection of a federal building in this city. v Mr. llnwloy has been censured heavily in the past for his evident neglect of this section of his district. And this censure was not unwarranted, for previous to his label's on behalf of the fruitgrowers last winter to defeat the La fean bill he had indeed done but little for us. However, since his visit here last fall he has been taking a greater interest in the Rogue River valley, until now he has suc ceeded in getting through the house an appropriation for a federal building here. Mr. Ilawley has made a good start, and we are grateful but let him remember that we want a few other things an appropriation for the world's greatest natural wonder and a weather bureau for instance. no .nee ,1409 8 .. .lie w 4BQ .......itift , 1115 ,., SI0Q If S30 If 2SS0 17 "SO It 15&0 If 1SS0 n 5SO 2i mot SI 1550 14 1500 IB M00 24 ISO0 S7 1500 2 2110 so ssoo 31 SS00 Total .65.100 deduction ana special eaiuon j,i 61.700 Averare net dally. 245.

Now it is the Associa- tion of Unwelcome Guests that has been called into being by the White House. Nobody really realized how the Unwelcome Guest club had been quetly growing until the late unpleasantness suf fered by Representative Francis Burton Harrison. Since that time statemen with a thoughtful turn of mind have been cataloguing several eitizens who came in as charter members, so to speak. First of all, of course, there is Gifford Piuchot. He used to be the most welcome of the welcome visitors back in the Roosev.elt regime, but times have changed since the former forester lined up against Secretary Ballinger and the "White House now sees him no more. Representative John A. Martin of Colorado (democrat) feels that he is persona non grata there, too. Martin hasn't been on pleasant terms with the administration since he began fulminating against Attorney General Wickersham on the sale of the Philippine friar lands. Representative nenry T. Rainey of Illinois (democrat) is particularly under the presidential ban for his utter ances along the same Hues against not only Attorney Gen eral Wickersham, but Henry W. Taft, the president's brother, as well. Delegate Wickersham of Alaska charged that the Gug genheims controlled the removal and appointment of fed eral officials in Alaska. Result: His relations with the White House are strained. And now comes Francis Burton Harrison of New York (democrat), who drew a full fledged membership through his charge in connection with the xredatiug of the summary by the attorney general of the Glavis charges. SPIRITUAL CARE FOR ALIENS. Nat Goodwin's fourth wife and himself are ubout to separate. Ho is said to be on the trail of u fifth one. It must be very annoying to Actor Goodwin that he has to go to the trouble of getting a divorce every time he wants to get married. Sugar trust officials who are trying to bite a large chunk out of their doubtful past and to chew It up and Bwallow It when no one Is looking wonder If there Is no way to sweeten the court or to tamper with the scales of Justice, as they did with the gov ernment ccales. President Taft and the regulars who are about to lead out the lame, spavined, string-halted rad wlther wrung Aldrlch tariff and 'point to It with pride ze the Issue that will make the voters dance for Joy In the fall campaign have probably noted a boat man gliding along In the still water above Niagara and have imagined that happy days wero Just ahead for the voyager. The forces of nature seem to have a grudge uguiust Italy. One of the fairest lands undor the sun, whoso blue skies, temperate climate, fertile soil and delightful scenery make it a paradise for human habitation, seems threatened all tho time with dangers to muke it uninhabitable, as if tho gods had chosen it for them 6clvcs and wore jcnlous of the in trusion of mortal man. Earthquake after earthquako shakes the fuir do main. Truly Itnly is evenly blessed and cursed, The gods both smile and frown, and man is in turn invited and repelled. NCLE SAM'S alien population ought to be well cared for spiritually, according to statistics included in a report issued the other day by the census bureau. Figures for 1906 show that while there were 181,393 re ligious organizations, with a membership of 23,648,267, who worshiped in English, there were likewise 7906 organ izations, attended by 3,371,628 members, who heard relig ious services in English and foreign tongues mixed, and 16,688 organizations, with a membership of 5,022,601, who worshiped at services entirely in foreign tongues. Of the churches reporting the use of a foreign tongue exclusively the Lutheran bodies lead, with 7242 churches with 3f 227,981 members. The Roman Catholic is next with 2176 organizations attended by 3,064,436 communicants. The number of known languages "reported is 4.4 The list includes Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Esthonian, Gaelic, Modern Syriac, Lettish, Monenegrin, Wendish and Yid dish, in addition to the better known European languages. Strangest of all, however, are the lingual combinations reported. Some churches conduct services in such hetero geneous mixtures as German, Italian, Scandinavian and English, or Chinese-Greek-Magyar-Polish-Slovak-English, or Armenian-Chinese-Hebrew-Italian-English. In respect to foreign membership, Germany leads the list with bjr far the most church members. German speak ing people have 77 denominations, attended by 3,601,943 people. Next in number of denominations comes the 25 organizations conducted in the tongue of American In dians; then, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, French and Ital ian. The list is different when it comes to classification by the number of communicants, France coining next aft er Germany, then Italian and Polish. We now know why seedy Euro pean counts, dukoo and lords have been able to marry Amerlcau girls. It la because the dear creatures couldn't get American husbands. Ono of them who w&a about to marry an English Icrd had a narrow escape tho other day when an old Indiana sweetheart camo along and carried her off, Be fore giving up all hope and resigned ly picking from tho foreign offerings In the market American girls should get a Job In a wholesale house whore they can mako'thelr appeal by an in scription on an egg or in a cigarette fi r f V a flra I I INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Waiting's History of Southern Oregon.) John R. Harding, of Harding, and William R. Rose, of Lamerick's com pany woro killed on August tonth, near Willows Spring, The two, with ono or more companions, were on detached aorvlco, or according to other accounts, woro proceeding to Jacksonville, whon having reached a point ono nillo north of tho springs, thoy were fired on by the Indians concealod near tho road, and Rouo was killed, and Harding was shot through tho hips, He escaped, as did tho others, but died on August 14, some accounts relato that he died In olovon hours, Rose's body falling by tho way-side, was stripped and mutilated, tho throat cut and an oyo out; six hundred dollars was upon tho horse also. Other Incidents of tho eventful period preceding I.anu'a campaign of August 21-3G, woro the capture and Bhuotlng of i 8Uspocti.nl Indian by Angus llrowu, tho bunging of an In dian in tho town of Jacksonville, and other acts ot that nature, which re flect no credit upon those tmgugod therein. That oloni-vlsago war had wrought up people to doods of thin sort, is not very romurknblo. Klvo Indians It is credible reported, woro hnngod In ono day, on n troo which stood near David Linn's re sidence. On August 14, a Mr. Kttllngor was dispatched north with letters to tho govornor of Orogon and to other par tlos.sottlng forth tho conditions of affairs and soliciting aid to prono cuto tho war. General Uano heard tho nows when at his homo on Doer creek nnd Instantly sot nbout rais ing volunteers. Kitty men Joined his party, nnd with these ho rapidly sot out for tho Hceno ot hostilities. On arriving at Camp Stewart ho found tho main part of tho troops there, togothor with Captlnn Aldon and his regulars. Tho command of all was tondered to tho Oeneral by Captlan Alden and by him accepted. Preparations for moving on tho ene my had been made, and an active campaign wna resolved upon. On or about tho fltteonth, a de tachment undor tho command ot Hardy Elllff, was Bont to tho roar of tho enemy's position bohind Table Rock, In order to provoko an en gagement; but their position had been evacuated, and tho hoatilos had wlthdiawn. On August sixteenth a detachment ot Qoodall's company was sent out, under the command ot Lieutenant E. Ely, with Uio design ot discovering the onomy's where abouts. So well did they perform their duty, that upon arriving at Little Meadow, on Evan's or Dear creek, they ran upon tho savages, and lost several men in ono ot tho fiercest skirmishes that has been known in the annals of Indian war fare. Tho scene ot tho collision was somo two miles northwest of Tabic Rock, and about the snmo' distance from the mouth ot tho stream where it flows In Roguo river at tho vill age now known as Woodvlllo. It was on tho 17th of August; tho men had picketed their horses In tho flat and Bat down to enjoy dinner; sentries woro stationed, but soon left their posts and gathered with tho rest around tho ctnokln" viands. Just at this blissful moment thoro camo a volley of bullets from a frlngo of wil lows closo by that killed and wound ed ten of their number. Leaving their horses, thoy rushed to cover 2G0 yards away, and gaining n strong position In the brush and amid fallen trees, they kopt tho savngos at bay. They fought tho enemy In true Indian style, from behind tho protection of trees nnd rocks, and probably In flicted coualde.-ablo injury. Privates Terrell and McGonlgio set out for 1 elp, and boforo tho enemy had com- plotoly surrounded them got away and br.stened to Camp Stewart who-o OoodaU'a corcpany was stationed, and reported that thoy had fo'intf tho In dians, and that ton men with Lieu tenant Ely woro in a precarious situ ation 17 mlloa off nnd tho Indians lil-avBollnr. Goodall and his nion sot out at top speed, and In tho shortest'practlcablo time arrived on tho flld. J. D. Carly and flvo othora were in tho ndvanco, and when tho Indians saw them thoy decamped, at onco, carrying away 18 horses, blankots, etc. From tho 8th to tho ICth of August movements wero made with a view of ascertain lug tho savages' whoreabouts and the vicinity of Tablo Rock was reconnoltorcd, whon It was found that f'oy had nlandoncrt their position and retired to tho northwest. Their trail showed that they kwero in great force End nearly tho whole trlbo woro to gothor. Thoy had sent out tholr scouti and up to this time knew ovory movo of the whites. They declared them selves satisfied to await tho decision of warfaro, and that thoy would fight until ovory whlto man was driven from tho vnllej. Such bold, doflant talk naturally produced a great of foct upon tho whltos, who woro Im bued with a nonso of tho fighting qualities of tho Indians, and added to tho anxloty of many for tholr fam ilies Increased tho feollng of appro honslon throughout tho valloy. This fooling was heightened by ' of an engagement, the first of tho war, between a party of whltos undor Lieutenant Rurrell B. Orlffln of Mil ler's company and a party of In dians under tho rodoubtnblo old John. This fight occurred on tho 12th of Au gust on Applegate crook near tho mouth of Wllllr.mB crook (subsequent ly so namod). Tho Jltutonnnt, with sorno 20 men, had reached tho main Applegate at tho mouth of Llttlo Ap peogaeo, and proceeding thenco to Storllng creek dostroyod an Indian village Somo little reststnnco was oxporlonced nnd Prlvato Qeorgo An derson wns woundod In tho hip, Mov Ing down to Williams crook tho noxt day, an Indian band was found and followed, and whon sovoral miles up that stream tho mon woro nmbtishod "HELLO BILL" PROVES A GREAT SUCCESS Critic Well Pleased With tho Wny They Hnmllcil Force Mr. Athon Can Go Some ns Comcillnn. "Hollo Rill" was tho piny lust night. Tho Athon Stock company made their bow In comedy boforo tho Medford audience. Comedy Is n very serious business.
