THE FOURTH
Largest Crowd In Attend
ance that Ever Congre
gated In the County.
The Entertainment Was
Hardly Adequate for the
Size of the Crowd.
The Non. Ascension of the Bal
loon Wu a Qreat Disap
pointment to All.
That Medford'B Fourth of July
celebration was a success so far as
crowd was concerned no person will
minsay. Conservative estimates
- place the number at from 6000 to
8000 people. Sheriff Orme, who
has undoubtedly attended every
large gathering held in the valley
Jbr the past thirty years, declares
the one here Wednesday to be the
largest ever congregated upon any
occasion.
There were people here from all
parts of the valley, there were peo
pie here from the mountain homes,
the homes from beyond the moun
tains, and from those many miles
into California. Much of the in
terest in the celebration was cen
tered upon the balloon ascension
and when it was found to be im
possible to make the ascent, or
nther, to inflate the balloon, be
cause of the stiff wind which was
blowing, a feeling of disappoint
ment came over the countenances
of pretty nearly everybody and a
'-cold, clamy cloud was spread over
the entire day's program. That the
.entertainment was inadequate for
the demands and, in reality, the
deserved attention of the immense
crowd is understood fully by all
Medford people, and especially by
the committees in charge. The ex
cuse, one of them, which can be
offered was the want of concerted
action on the part of our towns
people. The procession formed at ten
o'clock, near the Whitman ware
house and moved about the princi
pal streets in the order as advertised.
Hon. Alex. Orme, marshal of the
day, and his assistants, John Olwell,
G. L. Schermerhorn and J. A. Whit
man led the procession, followed by
the Medford band, a carriage con
taining Wm. Colvig, orator of the
day, Rev. Crandall, the chaplain,
Mayor Howser and Hon. T. Cam
eron. Following next was the dec
orated wagon bearing forty-five little
girls, representing the states of the
union, under, the protection of
Messrs. G. C. Noble and F. M.
Stewart. Next in line was the
Goddess of Liberty car, upon which
was the elected Goddess, Miss Lil
lian Barr, and her guards, Messrs.
M. 8. Damon, L. T, Pierce, Jas.
Grieve and Will Cottrell, the two
former in G. A. R. uniforms and
the latter in the uniforms worn by
them in the late unpleasantness
with the Filipinos. The Angel of
Peace car came next with Mi
Jennie Woodford as the angel. The
G. A. R. boys, in uniform, were the
next in line, then the chariot,
.hitched to .which were four black
horses and driven by Miss Laura
Cox. The hose company followed,
with the balloonist's car next. A
miniature representation of the U.
S. cruiser Olympia was the next
float, following which was a float
bearing Miss May Phipps, represent-
;' ing the state of Oregon, followed by
the float Medford, upon which rode
Miss Edith Webb..- After these
-scame the floats of a few business
1 .1 L.L. It. Ptunn
nouses, tney utuug vuv muv
House, Misses. Etta Medynski and
Nora Bates riding deoorated bi.
oycles and bearing a large banner
upon which was lettered, "MiBS H. A.
Medynski, milliner," G. A. Gurnea,
advertising hiB Raoket Btore, W. H
Hembree hiB Dewey washing ma
chine, and S. Bradbury with a four
in hand tandsm sulky team.
The exercises at the grove were
first class. The music furnished by
the Choral Union was widely com
mented upon. Attorney A. S. Ham
mond, president of the day, made
very appropriate opening remarks;
Miss Mae Merriman recited the
Declaration of Independence in a
manner that elioited the most favor
able comment by every person
within hearing. Attorney W. M.
Colvig's oration was foroeful and as
eloquent and masterly as are all
efforts of like nature undertaken
by that gentleman. The exercises
were good throughout and all praise
is due those who so generously con
tributed .o make them such. The
Mail wants to say right here that
Medford is under great obligations
to Mr. Colvig. He was not on the
bills for the oration, but the com
mittee was disappointed in securing
the speaker they had advertised,
but Mr. Colvig is always ready to
aid in times of distress and he very
generously gave to us the assistance
asked for, and for all of which we
are most grateful. This dame feel
ing of gratitude also goes out to
Mr. Hammond, who officiated in
Mr. Crowell's stead as president of
the day, Mr. Crowell being too ill
to participate in the exercises.
At 1:30 John Hardin's calli
thumpianB made their street parade
and gave their exercises at the pub
lic grounds. This was good what
there was of it, but the captain was
handicapped as were all other com
mitteemen by having banked on
promises of help which promises
were evidently made with no intent
of being fulfilled.
The balloon ascension was to
have taken place at two o'clock but
the wind was so strong as to make
the inflation of the balloon impos
sible. Prof. Nelson and his assist
ant, Prof. Merritt, were on the
ground and had everything in shape
for the ascent, but it was absolutely
impossible in consequence of which
they did not earn, nor were they
paid, the $125 which they were to
have received. An effort will be
made to make an ascension tomor
row, Saturday, forenoon, as soon
after 10 o'clock as the weather will
permit.
The base ball game was the prin
cipal feature of the day, and it was
a hot contest. The game was be
tween Eagle Point and Medford
teams and was won by ihe former
on a score of 20 to 13. The purse
was $50.
A few races were put on during
the afternoon, but the accident
whioh befell H. G. Nicholson, chair
man of the sport committee, early
in the day, threw this work into
other hands and the program could
not be carried out as it was planned.
The parade committee, Messrs.
J. A. Whitman and G. L. Schermer
horn, is entitled to a great amount
of praise and have received the
favorable and grateful comment of
all who know the ins and outs ef the
celebration work for their untiring
work in making the parade the
very creditable feature which it
was. They were assisted materi
ally by a few of our townspeople
and to those the committee desire
us to express their gratitude.

BALLOON
Prof. Chris. Nelson, the balloon
ist, who was to have made an as
cention here on the Fourth, but
who could not do so because of the
heavy wind which was blowing,
will make an ascention tomorrow,
Saturday, July 7th, at 10 o'clock
a. m., or as soon thereafter as it is
possible to do so.
County School Notes.

We understand that the teaohers
oounty Institute will not be hold during
the Chautauqua at Ashland.
June 22d saw the close ot a good
year's work In the Woodvllle sohool
under the care of Misses Merritt and
Newton.
Sohoola that have closed recently are
those In charge of Maggie Miller, Cora
Lemon, Llla Saokett, Clara Poloy,
Prances Barnes and Carl Von dor
Hellen.
There are according to the reports ol
Bobool clerks, 5035 school ohildren be
tween four and twenty years of age in
the county. This is an increase of 170
over last year.
An entertainmont In district 11, at
the close of the term last week was a
success. The teacher, Clara Richard
son, has taught there two terms and If
wanted again.
J. M. Horton, of Jacksonville, will
attend to the duties of county superin
tendent until the Srst Monday In
August, when the term of the new su
perintendent will begin.
The next teachers' Institute should
be the best In the history of the county,
for there Is on hand $110.15 institute
fund and this will be inoreascd by the
August teachers' examination. $65.00
was the expense of the Institute held
In Medford last year.
Preparations are under way which
will Insure a most successful year in
the normal at Ashland. Two now
teachers in the faculty and the board
ing department In experlonced hands
will await the many students planning
to enter In September.
We have now received assurance that
the new teachers registers are to be
completed In the near future. Prob
ably they will be in readiness for the
fall term. Several districts are now
keeping records on blank paper, and
these should be copied Into new reg
isters. With this week "County School
Notes," under the present management
will close. For two years we have tried
to give items of Interest to teachers and
school officers and occasionally some
thing for the general public. We thank
the county press for the uniform cour
tesy extended us in this effort. The
hearty co-operation of teachers and
patrons has made the two years of serv
ice a pleasure and given evidence that
the people of Jackson County wisb the
best schools possible for' their children.
There is plenty of hard work for the
future in order to place our rural
schooU where they should be and wo
trust that every true teacher and pa
triotic citizen will help on the good
work. Yours for "Our Homes," "Our
Schools," "Our Country." Good Bye.

COVERED WITH SWALLOWS
lolaaeVe Wkaar the Bird Harder
nates S'Ml Aksuaaaaaiew
It is obvious that birds of any kind,
while excessively persecuted, may, like
the csnvnaback duck, e scope e xtcrminn
tion for a long time, though greatly re
duced In numbers. But, If the bunted
species tins the habit of breeding in
flocks at given places, year after year,
and it is attacked sysli inoticnlly on Its
nesting grounds, it mnstaoon succumb.
For, under such circumstances, the
progeny, ns well oa the parents, are de
stroyed, .mil the hope of future genera
tiona dikfippenra.
Hut it la it peculiarity of the "ingenl-,
out) anlmnl called man" that, while so
provident In respect to many minor j
things, nc seems rarely to tninK of tne
future of the wild animals which axe
furnished for his use, and prnctlcnlly
intruhted to bis care, by Nature. He be
gins with the notion that it la his right
to destroy them If he chooses, and he
does not realize how greatly he will
be the sulTcrer if he acts too recklessly
on that idea.
Now, take, for example, the terns, or
"sea swallows," and certain small gulls
which are closely related to them.
These birds furnish some of the most
attractive plumes that adorn fcmlnlno
hats and bonnets. Their prettily point
ed wings of pearl color and jetty block
are strikingly ornamental, and have a
peculiarly delicate frosting on the sur
face at the breeding season. Alas I it is
at this senron that they are chiefly
ought and killed, when they gather
by thousands and' hundreds of thou
sands on ccrtuln smnll sea islands, and
on suitable patches of scacoast.
Unfortunately for them, while mat
ing and laying their eggs, they seem
to be Insensible to fear. Thus the bird
murderer has only to appear on their
nesting grounds and massacre them
wholesale. In this way many colonies
have been destroyed utterly and per
manently, and millions of their wings
have been contributed to the millinery
market. Philadelphia Saturday Post.
