Thk farmer who reads of the
great corpoi aliens that bear so im
portant a part in the commercial

very apt to think of himself as out
side the pale of those who exert a
controlling influence cn the com
munity at large. And yet in this
assumption he is far from the fact.
The time never was in the history
of this country when the farmer oc
cupied the prominent and import

to-day. The city was never nicr
absolutely dependent upon the
countrv than now, and the degree
of that dependence is steadly in

ITS TOTE.
' The vote cast at the election
Monday was fully thirty per cent.
below what it would have been in
general electioo, principally on ac
count of tne tact tbat as only one
office wa to be filled, and that
district office, there was not that
personal interest in the success of
candidates as there is when there is
a general election and candidates
iave personal friends in every pre
cinct in the county. This tended to
reduce the Republican vote in the
district, as many Republicans reli
td upon the great majority to carry
their candidate through wi'hout
any effort on their part. On the
ether hand the number of etay-at-
lome Democrats was not nearly so
great: in fact, it would eeem that
thev came very much - nearer get
ting out their full vote than did
their opponents. In the two Med-
ford precincts 3S6 votes were cast,
and agaiust 4$o at the last general
election. Of this number there
were marly a Hundred who were
sot registered in the precincts, but
cast their votes on affidavit of six
oousth-ilders. This makes' a net
loss of 149 votes. S.ime of these
were away, it N true, and voted else
where prohablv, others have moved
away, some have died; but the ma
jarity could have voted had they
wished to do so.
The Republicans had an election
in the First congressioual district
on Monday. In spite of all kiods
of misrepresentation and abuse of
the Republican candidate and 'hat,
owing to the fact that there was
but one office to be filled, many
voters did not deem it necessary to

condition which always injures the

Death of Mrs. Sarah Owens.
Eighteen years ago on the 1st of June
Wm. Owens and his wife, Sarah,
settled in Jackson county on Dry creek
Climax precinct. During all of this
time they have been helpful neighbors
and honest, upright citizens. On Mon
day last, the eighteenth anniversary of
heir arrival in Jackson county, Mr.
Owens, being a clerk of election in tbat
precinct, departed from home early to
attend his duties as such officer, leaving
Mrs. Owens in her nsnal health, appar
ently. Upon his return in tbe evening.
between nine and ten o'clock, he found
bis wife lying In bed, cold in death.
Judging from surrounding circums
tances, Mrs. Owens had evidently
attended to a few light evening chores
around the house, and bad retired for
the night, where death had evidently
come swiftly and painlessly to her.
Mr. aad Mrs. Owens came to Oregon
from Iowa in 1866, crossing the plains
with ox and mule teams. They first
settled in Lane county, but afterward
removed to Jackson county, where they
have since lived.
Mrs. Owens was the mother of twelve
children, nine of whom are living and
residents of Oregon. They are: Mrs.
Alice Grimes, of Harrisburg, Linn
county; Mrs. A. S. Brown, of Dallas
Polk county ; Mrs. H. L. Gregory, of
Central Point, Jackson county; James,
Calvin, George and John Owens, who
reside close to the old horns place, and
Misses Agnes and Zuda Owens. Miss
Agnes was visiting relatives In the
Willamette, and Miss Zuda was teach
ing school at Central Point at the
time of their mother's death.

Jackson county was Invaded by the
Germans on Monday: but the Invasion
was a friendly one. Forty-seven rep
resentative Germuii landholders, ojl of
thorn men of luuaus, sumo ot litem
titled, a few of thuiu government of
ficials, disembarked from tho north
bound Southern Pad Ho train at Phoe
nix, whoro liioy wore mot by a dolcga
tinn from tho Mod lord Board of Trade
with carriages and from there they
woro driven through the Clay & Mead
or, Lewis, Voo rhios and Do Hurt oruli
arda.
As is usual wheu a limited time is al
lowed for an oooaston of this kind, the
trulu was late, owing to the breaking
down of the onglne hanllug it, ami tho
contemplated drive through the Oreh
ard Homo, by the Ish and Hauley al
falfa farms and through tho Olwell
orchards at Ceutral Point was out.out.
However, the visitors saw onough to
Impress them very much with the cap
abilities.
uoe tiling which struck them very
forcibly was the rapid growth of not
only the orchards and Holds, but of tho
towns and cltios. The fact that Mud
ford, a city established only eighteen
years, had electric lights, sowers, water
works and everything in tho wav of
modern improvements, seemed amaz
ing and one party cited the case of a
city in his vioinity of from 6000 to 8000,
probably 500 years old, which had none
of these things unless put iu by private.
parties.
In the matter ot production, with all
the accumulated horticultural and ag
ricultural wisdom of the German peo
pie and thero Is no better farmer than

hlle here 400 to 600 boxes la not an
uncommon yield, and the price very
rarely falls below 11.00 per box, more
often being 11.25. The time was very
short to show those people very much
of the valley, but what they did see
both pleased and surprised them.
Arriving at Medford about 8:30 the
visitors were invited to partake of a
banquet, which their long and rapid
drive probably made very welcome.
The High School Band furnished
some excellent music, which was evi
dently highly appreciated by the vlsi
tors.
Landlord Ragsdaledld himself proud
on that banquet. The dinlug room
was tastefully and elegantly decorated
with flowers and evergreens by the
ladles of the Lewis and Clark Exposl
tion of Medford. Just opposite the
entrance was draped the American flag
and above it the word "Wlllkomen."
The party were all highly educated
men and most of them spoke English
so that the matter of entertainment on
the route was not such a difficult mat
ter as some of the citizens thought it
migntbe. v
It is pretty safe to say that the party
carries with them a lively Impression
of tho hospitality of the people of Med
ford, and perhaps some remembrance
of tbe not extra smoothness of some of
the roads over which they traveled.
Especially were they touched by the
hearty welcome whlctt they received
from tbe citizens of Medford arid vicin
ity.
At the banquet Baron, von Fiuege,
the leader of the party, took occasion to
thank the ladies of the Lewis Jc Clark
club for the oecorations and the "rain
of roses," as he termed it, and also said
tbat nowhere on their travels bad they
met with so Hearty and hospitable re
ception as in Medford. L. C: Coleman
was called upon for a reply, wblcb (as
translated from tbe German) we here
with reproduce:
Ma. Toastmaster and Gentlemen:
"I am gratified with the honor tbat I
was called upon to respond to the ap
preciation you have expressed with
your remarks thanking the Board of

gret you have expressed is that the
highly esteemed ladles by vou are not

is deprived to pay thorn your personal
respeot and thank them for these kind
nesses.
While it is true roses are appreciated
by every person for beauty and frag
rance, at the same time I hope you
realize and appreciate the welcome of
your presence to this town by every
one of us here and the entire corpora

Several of the other visiting goutlo
men made short talks and S. S, 1'enU.
on tho part of the Board of Trade and
citizens of Medford, rosponodod, t
Osenbrtiggo also mado a short and
felicitous address to tho visitors in their
native tongue, which judging from tho
applause was strictly to the point.
At tho conclusion of the banquet tho

Last Saturday was Memorial Day and
it was appropriately ohsotved in this
oity. At 10:30 the parade, consisting of
the G. A. It. and W. K. C. and school
children, headed by tho High School
Band, formed on Seventh street and
marched to Wilson's opera house, whoro
the ixc-clses were held.
The opera houso was filled by a large
and appreciative audience, aud the ex
ercises were iu keeping with tho occa
sion. The stago was beautifully decor
ated with Sags and flowers.
As soon as the aud tense ni seated
tbe band played a medley of patriotic
airs the old war songs of the boys In
blue. As the dltlerent airs were played
tho efteot on the little band of veterans
was marked. When the stirring strains
of "Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are March
ing' rang out, shoulders bent with age
and care were straightened, gray heads
uplifted and for a briof space tho old
men were living over tbe days of the
war: then softly and sweetly came the
notes of "Just Before the Battle, Moth
er," and heads were bowed as the
thoughts went back to some loved com
rade perhaps, who had given up hit life
on some one of those bloody fields, In
order that the Union might live.
Rev. T. L. Crandall gave tbe opening
prayer, after which Miss El ma Johnson
recited "Memorial Day" in a feeling
style.
Miss Mabel Jones sang the "Sword of
Bunker Hill" in the mannsr for which
she is well known. Miss Jones' sweat
and powerful voice never showed to
greater at' vantage than in tbls solo.
Miss N'ola Redden recited "Soldiers'
Reunion" in a way. that aaa affecting
and trusting. Ethel Curry followed
with "Drummer Boy In Blue," giving
evidence of good elocutionary ablllt;
and training.
Io tho absence of Hev. Shif-Ids, who
waa to deliver the address. Prof. N. L
Narregan made a short addross. The
theme of his speech was the silent In
fluence of the soldier in making and
keeping tbe Union. "We taught the
world something, when on the memor
able day at Appomatox, Gen. Gram
said to the ragged, half-starved soldiers
of the South, 'Take your horses and
mules home with you, boys, you will
oeed them to put in your crops.' Two
mighty hosts which bad been tearing
at each other for 'four long and bloody
vears, quietly disbanded and returned
borne within a few months of the end
of the struggle. It was something the
world never saw before. ? .
The benediction was pronoanoed by
Rev. E. M. Patterson, alter which the
band rendered, "Marching Through
Georgia," while the veterans filed out

J. A. Whitman and J. I). Heard are
now in control of what promises to be
the biggest placer mining proposition
In Southern Oregon, or any where else,
for that matter. The property is locat
ed on Sieve's Forks, of Steamboat and
comprises some 810 acres of mining
ground nearly all of which prospects
rich from grass roots to bed lock.
Soiuo of the prospects obtained not In
the richest spots, either arc so big
that it is hard to believe they wero
taken from just a few pans of dirt.
Tbe property was purchased from
Messrs Shearer, Lewis, Armstrong and
Scott, and the new owners have already
been offered an advance of two and one
half times the purchase price for tho
ground, but it Is not for sale. The
water supply la abuudant, Steve's fork
carrying about 26,000 loolios of water,
which can be brought onto part of this
ground by a ditch of J of a mile In
length, and will give 300 foot pressure.
Whitman and Heard will put twonty
men at work at once and expect to oe
piping within 40 or 60 days. Their
water supply is snflioient to run the
yoar round, except, perhaps, a few
weeks In tbe winter when the wntor
freezes in the ditch. Later a three mile
ditch will he bnllt to cover the whole
properly . The location of the property
is tucb that It cannot fall to be almost
fabulously rich. The crcok beads

which fed the famous American bar on

dollats have been taken and botweon

richest mining dlstrlots In Southern
Oregon In the early days. Why this
proiierty was not worked In the early
fifties Is very difficult to dotennlno, un
