THROUGH soino strange fatality, mining, which makes a better surface showing in southern Oregon than in any other region, has remained the most neglected oi! its resources. Neglect jias been due largely to this same unusual sur face showing. So rich have been the finds "above gras roots" that the section has acquired the reputation of being "pockety." The unemotional, unimaginative character of the na tive prospector has had a great deal to do with the stag nation of the industry. As long as rich ore is in sight and can be developed at slight expense, iust so long does he work at his prospect. "When the quality slacks off a little he ceases work. As a consequence, in a region which has produced over a hundred million dollars m placer gold, and millions ot dollars of rich surface ore, there is but one or two devel oped mines. The southern Oregon prospector is a "pocket hunt er," not a mine developer, and is interested only in "pock ets" or "chimneys." lie will start at a creek bottom and carefullv pan each vard of the hill above to locate the pocket. Ledges have to fairly glitter with gold to interest him.

FOR A SANE FOURTH. EXPECT 20,000 AT CRATER LAKE Will G. Steel Predicts Record Throng at Great Natural WonderBush ing Work on Hotel and Preparing Accommodations. KLAMATH FALLS, May 'JG. -WilLG. Steel of tlio Crater Lake company is ltcre making preparations for the cominc reason at the national park resort. The hotel on the rim of tho iake is to be completed this year. Arrangements have been inacje with the Utter & Burns sawmill, beyond Fort Klamath, for all the lumber to be used, and this is to be hauled in os. rapidly ns it is ready. Instead of costing $5000, ns first planned, thl structure is to cost $23,000 or .:10,- 000 when completed. In addition to the completion of this bic; hotel and retort at the rim on the west side, the Crater Lake company is preparing plans for the construction of another immense ho tel and resort on the cast side of the lake, near what is known ns the Wine Glass. Architect I. Jay Knapp of Klamath Falls has been enpnged to draw plans for this structure, which is to cost $100,000. A big power plaut will be con structed to furnish these places, anil everything is to bp made modem nnd up-to-date. Mr. Steel has interested the gov ernment authorities in a plan of making the Crater National park the greatest summer resort in tho world by developing its beauties and making accessible tho wonders to be found therein. One of the plans is to lny out a roadway circling the rim of the lake. From this will be run road nnd trails out in every direction .o every point of interest in tho pnrk. "1 expect this season to bring at least 20,000 people to hco Crater lake,' snid Mr. Steel yesterday. "Last year wo had over 6000 and with the development of castor access to the park and lake nnd the widening of the knowledge of tiis, ono of tho greatest of world's wonders, ench year will see more and more people there ns tourists from all parts of tho globe. "While our accommodations nre fjomcwhnt primitive nt the rim of the lnko and at Camp Arant, we expect to improve theso just ns rapidly as lnen and monoy can do it, nnd within the next few years wo will bo able to handle an immense tourist trade. Wo will probably bo taxed to tho limit this year, hut we wjll do our ijtist to accommodate everybody who IT IS to be hoped that Medford will enjoy a sane Fourth qf July this year, that fire-crackers and other danger ous and noisy nuisances be forbidden and that possible loss of life and loss of property by tire be thereby prevented. Last year three children died from lockjaw as a result of fire-crackers, and a total of 190 males and 21 females as a result of external traumatisms, including premature ex plosions and all other uses of powder. Millions of dollars of fire loss is recorded annually as a result of the insane way we have of celebrating the anni versary of the nation's birth. There is no reason whv this city should take the needless risk that Pourth of July always brings. An ordinance forbidding the use of fire-crackers is in order from the city council. Let us have our excitement in some other form. LORIMER CASE A LURID PAGE La Follette Concludes Speech Agalnsf Accused Briber Says Only Result Will be Abolition of Coucus and Rule of the People by Primary WASHINGTON, D. C, May 20. Declaring that the initiation of di rect legislation by the people will be the outcome of the failure of the senate to" fulfill its trust, Senator CALLS HITCHCOK POSTAL DESPOT Jeff Davis in Senate Declares That Postmaster General Has Become 3 Petty Tyrant and Uses Position to Bully Publishers. WASHINGTON, I). G, Muy 20. -Dubbing Postmaster General Frank II. Hitchcock, "the despot of the pos tal service" Senator Jeff Davis of Arkansas yesterday arraigned the postmaster general's nttitude toward LaFollette concluded his speech on publishers. He declared that Hitch- comes." ' McCarthy and memsic the Lorimcr case today. "For 70 years after this govern ment was established," he suid, "this senate was uot humiliated by a call to investigate tho election of nny member. Since then 11 senators have been summoned to the bar to an swer charges of bribery. "The decision in the Lorimer case is an unfortunate precedent. It stands alone a lurid page in the his tory of lowered senatorial stand ards. Blind are those men who do not see the inevitable result the ab olition of caucuses and conventions, the institution of nominations by di rect vote, including presidential can didates, and the putting into opera tion of theinitiative, referendum and recall, the logical outcomo of this is betrayal of public trust. "It has become populur with some persons to refer to the people ns "tho mob,' and the people's rule as 'mob rule.' "This is a peoples' government. They will not destroy it. They will not permit organized privilege to de stroy it. They will not permit or ganized privilege to destroy its vital principle. "The people know that tlo initia tive mid referendum places in their own hands tho power to protect themselves from the mistakes and in difference of their represenlativcfi; that the recall will enable (hem to dismiss those, representatives when over they shall cease to servo tho BOTH FIT AS A FIDDLE' public interest.

Davis Declared Hitchcock had started three civil suits against Lewis and had tied up .$30,000 of the tatter's money. He said: "It is beginning to become generally un derstood that no institution or cit izen who dares to resist the post master general can escape tho unni hilntion of either his business or him self. Tho system which has been perfected extends into every phase of privato life and never forgives criticism, expose or defeat." Davis closed his speech with a de mand for a searching inquiry into the affairs of the postoffice depart ment. Senator Burton of Ohio, replying to Davis, said that criticism of pub lie officials wus never so popular as at present. Commercial Travelers Meet. OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., May 23.

"The country is engaged in rinsing apples and pears, and in stuck ruin ing farther back in the rolling coun try. Mr. Cheney savs that some of the fine, a pole -bearing luud is priciw? as high as the best o range laud in the Conivnn valley. Tho country is go iiitr ahead with n rush.
