The attempt of this road to secure, ou reasonable terms, right of way and depot grounds at Gresham was not different from that of other transportation companies in various parts of the Pacific northwest. Land which has been practically worth less for yeare, and which would, without railroad facili ties, remain so, on the approach of the railroad suddenly becomes so enormouslv valuable that the roads are in manv cases obliged to make a wide detour in order to se cure the right of way at a reasonable figure. The worst feature of these holdup games is that broad-minded, lib eral property owners are obliged to suffer for the avarice of their neighbors." INDIAN WARS OF SOOTHER!! OREGON (From J. C.

Tncomn. Wash., July 21. 1010. Editor of Medford Tribune, Medford. Or. Dear Sir: Mr. and Mrs. Card and myself have just returned from our very interesting trip through your state, and we found old Oregon a complete revelation of man-clous progress and un limited opportunity. This applies to most of the plnocs where we had the time to visit extensively. Hut among the most cherished memories of the trip are those which center around Medford. Your people's hospitality, courtesy and kindness exceeded even the tra ditional good-will of the west. Especially did we find the s-erviees nnd inexhaustive storehouse of information on the part of your new manager of the Commercial club. Mr. Malboeuf, to be of the greatest assistance to us. I take this occasion to congratulate your city for the sagacity in obtaining a man for such a position of the high order of ability and training, such as that which Air. Malboeuf possesses. He makes strangers at once enthusiastic with him over the things which one may see in rich variety and lux uriance around your city, one of the finest ones in the west. Wishing you the greatest of success, I beg to remain, vours truly. O. II. SKOTIIEIM. Attorney. 511 Chamber of Commerce. Tacoma, Wash. THE TOUR OP A SMILE.

So when he smiled at someone whom He saw when going by, "Who also smiled and ere he knew Had twinkles In his eye; So ho went to bis office then And smiled right at his clerk, "Who put some more Ink on his pen And smiled back from his work. So when his clerk went home he smil ed Right at his wife, and she Smiled over at their little child As happy as could be; And then their little child she took Tho smile to school, and when She smiled at teacher from her book Teacher smiled back again. And then tho teacher passed on one To little James McBrlde, "Who couldn't get his lessons done No matter how he tried; And Jamsey took It homo and told How teacher smiled at him z When ho was tired, and didn't scold, But said: "Don't worry, Jim." And when I happened to bo there That very night at play, Bis mother had n smile to spare Which came across my way; And then I took it after a while Back homo, and mama said: "Here is that very selfsame smile Come back with us to bed!"

Those men wore said to have been killed In retalt-tlou for tho m .ssacro of the Indians at Hates' house, but this assertion (low not admit of proof. The same day (August 28) tho savages burned the house of Ray mond at Jump-Off-Joe crook, as woll as two otho-s la the vicinity. These disturbances woro chiefly confined to JosivMno county and tho western part of Jackson county, or to speak moro specifically, to tho Grave creek, Applegate crook, Illi nois river nnd Althouso crook coun try. About Soptember 12, 1853, thoro occurred a catnstropho of Home note several miles below Deer creek bar. Two prospectors, Tedforrt nnd Rouse, were attacked by Illinois Indians, penceablo until that tlmo, nnd both Injured very severely. Rouso was cut In the faco, and Tedford was shot In tho left arm, shattering tho bone. Tho mon wero nlono at tho ilmo, but wore speedily found by neighboring minors and carried to a place of safety, Ted ford's Injuries wero mortnl; ho died within n week. This, nnd somo slight er Injuries porpotratod tho samo day on other parties, woro tho first hos tile nets of the Illinois Indians, who until thon had shown a tolornbly peaceful disposition. This wns In tho absonco of nearly all tho fighting por tion of tho white community, who were with Captain Williams on tho Roguo river. On their return a j arty was made up to pursuo certain In dians who hnd stolon somo property from tho Hunter brothers, including quite a number of mules. Tho thioves wero followed for threo days ovor rough mountains, across creeks and through Jungles, and ut Inst traced to an Indian village on Illlnolj river. ' This was attacked by tho pursuors, I nnd sever.il Indhns wero killed; but ; the whites had ultimately to retire, Alex Watts being slightly wounded In the attack. The rotfiilnr troops shortly after occupied IhlH village, after killing neveral of Its Inhabitants and driving tho rest away, On tholr return to hendiiuarters tho Indians followed them nnd killed Sergeant Day, wounded Private King nnd re took 1G stolen r.ntinnls.

On tho 20th the minors ngaln assembled to tho number of .in to make another descent upon tho same camp, when tho Indians' scouts dis covered them and received them with unexpected warmth. William Hunt er wns wounded by threo bullets, not seriously, and tho pnrty returned to tholr respectlvo homes without carry ing out their projected annihilation of tho hosttlo camp, Michael Uushey was of this number, nnd through his exertions a treaty of peace and amity wns ontored Into between tho minors nnd tho Indians of that rancherln, Tho Indians observed tho treaty faith fully enough, but tho whites woro not so honorable. It has been mention ed how certnln whites from Sailor Diggings nttompted to "nmko good IndlntiB" of sovon "bucks" at a con tain rancherln, but woro driven off Ignotnlnlously, Thoso Indians wero tho survivors of those who slow Ser geant Day, nnd follod Hushey and his party.

While many forest conflagrations are still raging, rain which fell last night and today in many parts of the Pacific northwest did much to check one of tho worst series of forest fires in the history of the section. Tho greatest relief is felt in the Idaho Panhandle, and northeast Washington, according to reports reaching here today. In British Co lumbia near Nelson and in the Koot enai district the fires are burning furiously, despite the rain and dog ged fight put up by the hundreds of tired fire fighters. According to reports early today, the town of Sandon, B. C, was again threatened by tho flames and tho people wore fleeing. This report has not been verified. In Idaho and northeastern Wash ington rain foil for five hours dur ing the night and early today Indi cations were that more rain would fall. Reports from Lewlston, Idaho, stated that many of the small fires In the white pines belt near Pierce City wero extinguished, and it was expected that those along the Clear water river, which have been doing extensive damage, would be brought under control. Tho Pine Creek, Idaho, fire has likewise subsided materially. The fire which Is causing the greatest concern at present is raging near St. Joe in north central Idaho, A large number of rangers are battling against the blazo there. From Missola it Is reported that the fires in the Cabinet forest re serve have burned over a large acre age and are spreading. More fire fighters are being rushed Into the dis trict. Fires at Heron and Thompson, Mont., are burning also. According to reports from Van couver B. C, tho fire situation In British Columbia is practically the same. Tho fires near Nelson and Kns lo continue to rage. In tho Slocan and Arrowhead districts thousands of dollars' worth of timber Is going up In smoke. In Oregon fires are reported from every forest district west of the Cas cades. Tho North Santlam river fire, near Albany, has swept over three square miles and it Is still working into the green Umbo.. One hundred and fif ty men are battling against Its ad vance. Another BorleB of fires is reported to bo burning north, south aud west of Astoria, Tho blazes aro small. In southern Oregon several com prehensive brush fires are burning, ono of them being near Klamath Falls. Tho Oregon fires, however, aro not as extenslvo as thoso In Idaho, Wash ington and British Columbia. WOMEN OPPOSE EQUAL SUFFRAGE MOVEMENT COMMUNICATIONS.

As tho result of the determination of the Canadian government to secure more laborers for railway constructions, immigration into Canada from all countries excopt Asia is expected to increaso greatly.
