MEDFORD, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1905 NO. 23, A House Cleaning Carol, When tho soup is oil tho stairway and tho carpet's on tho lino. Then 1 do not mope uud long for any Homo, Sweet iloino in mine; And I know tho books tiro corded iu tho collur by tho coal, And tho pictures tire reposing by tho punch and salad bowl, And tho mops and rags and dusters in coufuaiou intertwine When the soup is on tho stairway and tho carpet's on the Hue. The piano's in tho kitchen and the feather bods are hung On tho fence above tho flowers where the bric-a-brac was flung; There's a heap on the voruuda croek- erry and jardinieres And a sound of mighty whacking in tho back yard strikes my ears; So I slopo away discreetly, for some other spot I pine When t'jo soap is iu tho stairway and tho curpot's on tho lino. They would toed mo ou cold victuals, X" would sleep upon a cot; They might oven say, "Got busy I'1 mako mo help them, like as not; So I hover at u distuueo till I see them gather in All the furniture and bedding, and complacently I grin That a fellow's mighty lucky if he knows tho mystic sign When the soup is on the stairway and tho carpet's on tho line. THE ERST. DETROIT, June C Western Mich igan was visited by a cloudburst last night, the worst iu forty years. Eighty blocks aro inundated in (J rand Rapids, nod 500 hhomos are surround ed by water. Train service has been suspended iu tho vicinity of Muske gon, where the loss reaches 81,000. Great damago is reported from Ionia, where the roads and railways aro washed out. A Pierre-Marquette train was wrecked at the Ionia washout this morning and Engineer Alvord and Fireman Paine wore killed. CHIPPEWA FALLS, .Juno 6. Cur tis reports a cyclonic storm, which did 9100,000 damago. Two were killed and ten injured. Two boys were swept off a bridge and drowned. The Lutheran church and fifteen houses were wrecked. Several losses aro reported from Sheboygan, Poy- netto, Portugo and Barron. MILWAUKEE, Juno Floods and storms throughout Wisconsin last night and today caused a loss of over 81,000,000. Twenty streets of Fon dulao aro under wator. Tho loss ii estimated at 8150,000. Tho big dam at Sheboygau Falls was swept away, carrying houses and barns down tho stream. Wator running over the town three feet deep All trains are stalled. Several aro reported drowned at Nowton. The town is isolated and trains all over tho state delayed. The dam went out at noon at Waldo and Bingham. The entire corn crop of the state has been- ruined, except on the high places, and the damage is growing every hour. The floodB caused a loss of $50,000 to each at Detroit and Sheboygan. Klamath Work Begun. E. G. . Perkins, au engineer in United States reclamation service, geological department, left San Fran cisco for Klamath county last week. where ho is to start the enormous ' reclamation works in the Klamath basin, for which the sum of 81,100, 000 has boon apppropiiated. There is to be little delay in the beginning of the reclamation project, and Mr. Perkins is going north to look over the ground and commence operations. According to estimates of engineers there Is embraced in Klamath basin 5505 acroB of public lands and 42,825 acres of private land, making a total of 48,330 acres. The valleys of Lan , gell, Alkali aud Poo will bo reclaimed, and as this laud is said to be among the richest in this part of tho coun try, it will not be a matter of diffi culty to get people to settle there. It is only within the past few years that the cattlemen have attempted to cultivate that land. For years it was giveu over to the pasturing of stock and the only feed that was given the cattlo during tho winter months was from the wild hay cut on tho borders of the various lakes. Some few yers ago a company brought water on tho land along northern shores of Tule lake aud alfalfa was planted and also orchards were put in. ' The Mail Order Monopoly. What is getting to be one of the great monopolies is the "mail order" house, which sends ita catalogues broadcast through the land, offering apparently bargains in every class of goods. You buy anything from a paper of pins to a threshing machine from those house3 and, in the ease of standard articles.the articles are some times satisfactory, but beware of tho cheap grades, for thty are not only cheap iu price but cheap in quality. As a rule your homo merchant will give you better value for the same price thau you can secure from the foreign house and you have the ad vantage of being able to select the goods personally and tho privilege of exchange if they are not satisfactory. You can't do this with tho mail order house. An exohango related a atory of a woman who purchased t vn pairs of shoos by mail for her children. One pair wouldn't fit aud tho other was mauifoatly of poor quality. Sho took them to tho local merchant and was much surprised to find that she could have dono bettor iu price aud quality at home tliau sho had dono with the mail order hou&o; but she didn't know tho merchant carried tho class of goods she wanted. There was au error of judgment ou both sides. If the merchant had advertised his wares intelligently the woman would have known that he had tho in. It is tho small dealer iu the smaller cities aud towus that the mail order businosH hurts. The dealer must keep a certain amount of stock and must from forco of circumstances do a cer tain amount or credit business, and when one of his customers who is run ning an account with him sends away a cash order it takes from him that much money and also reduces the per capita of tho community. The local merchant helps keep up the town, helps build tho side walks and streets, keeps up the schools aud churches, and when there is a case of sickness or distress in the com munity goos down in his pocket to alleviate It. Docs the mall order bouse do this? Well, hardly. All it wants is the money aud tho money must bo forthcoming before the goods are delivered. Tho people have been iudirectly re sponsible for every big trust or mo nopoly that baa ever been created. Tho remedy for tho evil has always been iu their hands, aud if used iu time will oheck the growth of these great monopolies. After thoy have once become powerful, however, it is dillicult, if not almost impossible, to dislodge them. One mail order houso in Chicago received in one day one-fifth of tho entire business mail of tho city. Sev eral catalogue houses sell annually 625,000,000 to 650,000,000 worth of merchandise. The Mansou (la. ) Jour nal, in speaking of this matter says: "The country does not. need more 10,- ouu aero farms ; it does need more 40 to 100 acre farms. The country does not need ten monstrous mail or der housos to do all the business; it does need 100,000 small merchants." Eastern Oysters at Yaquina. From Albany Hemht, A refrigerator car, containing nine ty barrols of young oysters from Dela ware bay, passed through this city Thursday, bound for Yaquina Cihy. Tho car was consigned to J. D. Wil cox and William tTouer and thoir as sociates, owners of the oyster beds at Oyster villo. Tho shipment consisted of selected oysters, all of them being chosen for the virility, aud tbey will bo placed on the beds prepared for them. Tho freight on the car from the Atlantic seaboard to Yaquina was nearly 500. The car was taken to Lincoln county by tho bay train ou arrival there, a baigo was brought along side the wharf on which the car was stopped, the oysters were imme diately unloaded aud were taken to the beds for planting. A year ago the same parties brought out a carload of oysters from the oast and planted thorn at tho Oysterville beds, and recent examinations showed that they were grown nicely and are iu a healthy condition. Mr. Toner, iu spoakiug of the industry, stated that they expected to bo able to place their first oysters, grown from the young oysters brought hero from the cast last yeai, on the market by next winter and iu tho course of another year thoy will have ample supply to prove that the eastern oysters can be acclimated at Yaquina bay. This n)akes,three carloads of eastern oysters planted in Yaquina bay by privato outorpriso and the experi ment has Ureauy proven a success and promises to build up an industry that will do of great value to that part of the state. Warships at Fair. On Thursday of this week three Uuited States cruisers should enter the port of Portland to remain for some time as an attraction for inland visitors. They are the Chicago, Mar- blehead and Boston, of the Pacific squadron. It la probablo that the Boston, at least, will remain during the greater part of the summer. Rear-Admiral Goodrich is on the cruis er Chicago. x The Italian cruiser Umbria is duo June 24th. She left San Francisco for Vancouvor, B. CM last week, and it was reported that sho would come to Portland. Jler orders are, how- over, to return to the Columbia and remain at Portland until after the Fourth of July. That tho cruiser will have plenty of Visitors has been shown by tho number of people who visit tho revenue cutter McCulloch. Wanted.

Must Observe Neutrality. WASHINGTON, June 5. Secretary Tart today cabled Governor Wright at Manila to inform Admiral Enquist that, in strict pursuance of tho iuter- national policy adopted by this gov ernment, he will bo allowed to intern his ships, the Aurora, Oleg and Jemt- cbng. at Manila. In case he doea not adopt this course, his only altornn tive, after tho period allowed by in ternational law bus expired, will be to put to sea. It is fully expected here that Ad miral Enquist will decide to intern his ships, aud orders have been issued for Admiral Train to tako charge of Um 4fcils of internment, if tho Rus sian government decides to follow this policy. Th president's decision regarding th disposition of tho Russian vessels at Manila that tbey shall intern or put to sea, it is saia here, in accord ance with tho best naval opinion and is in pursuance of the policy of strict neutrality followed by the Washington government from the be ginning of the war. It is specifically declared that thero Is no intention to show the slightest favoiitism in the matter, and everything possible will he uoue tor tno comtortot ttio wound ed Russiaus.

Call Attention to Southern Oregon. BY J. Q. MARTIN MR. EDITOR: I am sitting on this fair spring day at my iavonto window in my own homo aud as far as my eves cau reach 1 can boo a golden nbuuduuee. 1 kuow it ie yet spring-timobut tho sun blazes down , If thore OTOr WM ftliy doubt in tho with July-like warmth, a gentle ' milldH of the owners aa to tho value minder of tho near approach of sum-1 of the Q miW t,mfc doubt mis boo inor, aud tho sad departure of t ioWdi Ued dU.i1(( tI)0 pu8t two week8) three lovely spring mouths that ban-1 aud the ricU olmmctor of tbo mhl0 lm8 ish winter and bring to our uid aud special use the warm sunshine, chi-1 nook winds and refreshing showers, infusing uow life, hope aud uuimu-! tiou in all things about us. Their! benefit to tho vegetable kingdom is uncalculublo, both to man uud beast. The dense forests and orchards olothed their dark groen follago of full leaf, while upon the fruit trees are little, rosy-cheeked apples, brown pears and purple plums pooping through tho thick groon foliage, and the garden ono gorgeous mass ot spring flowers and vegotation, with tho large fields of alfalfa and grain, clothed in their most inviting aud prosperous orops, unprecedented per- haps in the. history of tho county, all of these and many such bloasings uuoticed by man are the fruits of tho fleeting m on the that aro about to pass into history. Probably thero has never been a country so widely ad vertised aud generally talked of right at this time as tho state of Oregon aud it is equally true that tho charac ter aud possibilities of uoue have bceu so Uttio uudorstood aud neglect ed as the southern part of the state. This your humble writor took partic ular note ot ou my first trip into Rogue river valley on tho overland stag in 18TG. When tho stage reach ed Rock Poiut, tho passengers made inquiry of whut boautiful country tbey had gotten into and they were told they were still in tho etato of Oregon, Jacksou county.' They up peared a little swrpriaod aud ro mrked they Biipposed they had gotten into Southern California. Thoy wore told tho Willamette valloy was all of Oregon, but the tourist aud homo seeker of today is beginning to read and investigate aud is no longer con tent with tho constant rains in tho old webfoot counties of tho Willam ette valloy. Nor do tho people of tho oast core to Ungor much longer in a laud of ioo and snow, blizzards, hur ricanes and tornadoes, whou a laud of sunshine and 1 lowers is in reach of thorn all, for tho sun uovor shono on a fairer laud than this. Our blessod state, with all ita inviting conditions, stands waiting tho coming of a thrifty immigration from our sister states and our pooplo stand roady to extend a welcome with warm hearts, instruc tive tongues and gouorous sympathy. Old Jackson county, with its glor ious hills and boautiful valleys, loom ing with thoir greou growing crops, tho harvest timo of which should bo a timo of great rejoicing aud thanks giving for the bountiful yield to a genuine industry, and Roguo river valloy will still bo a power of strength, a garden of prosperity and a homo of delight to a happy, thriving popula tion, and nestling in tho center aud surrounded Jby all this wealth and beauty stands tho infant of this great valloy the city of Medford,tho young est iu years, but the oldest in popula-1 tion aud wealth, uud her push and j enterprise aud growth are attracting ! tho attention of the on tiro country, aud her wido, clean, cool, shady streets, full of life uud activity, with her many church stoeplos pointing heavonward, a sure index to her pur ity of character and morality. And now, briefly speaking, wo would say that men who dosiro to mako com fortable homos for thomselves in the finest climato in tho world, who have means to mako a beginning and the resoluiton to face now conditions, en counter now difficulties, work out new plans and study .now problems of cultivation and management, will.flnd in Rogue river vulloy a field for their beat efforts. Judge DcHaven will Preside. Judge Gilbert's right to designate Judge DeHuven to presido over t the land fraud cases has been practically decided. Tho decision ia to tho effect that Judge Bellingcrwas acting as circuit judge when tho indictments were returned, ho acting iu that capacity by designation of tho cir cuit judges for tbo ninth judicial dis tric, which comprises tho states of California, Oregon and WaHhingtou and tho district of Alaska. "Had theso indictments been re turned in tho United States district court," said this official of tho de partment of justice, "then tho trial of tho cases would have fallen upon j hia successor, whom It would have t been necessary to appoint. But, nsj ho was sitting in circuit court by designation of tho circuit judges, j Judge Gilbert had tho right to desig-t nato another judge In tho same cir-1 cuit to try the cases." It is understood hero that the quel;-! tion of Judge Gilbert's right to des I iguate a judge to try these cuhoh' arose from a desire to prevent any' question of the validity of the trials! from being rained by the defendants! on appeal to higher com Ik in the event of their conviction. IP MINE A boon thoroughhly demonstrated. The first big strike, two weeks ago Satur day, creatod considerable excitement, but tho opiuiou waa fully oxprossed thut it waa ouly a "bunch" uud that tho voin would oveutually "pinch out." Tho socoud striku a week later caused some of the "doubting ThomasoB" to waver, aud when tho third und biggest strike wus made last Friday the evidence waa too strong to bo disregarded. Thoy are not striking "huuehos" in tho Opp,but a largo and exception ally rich voiu of oro, of as yet un known exffcnt. Bosides the geuoral average of tho oro outside this rich pay streak romains at its usual stand .ii ard. Tho walla aud vein aro delluod and every indication ot a permanent true fissure voiu is pros-1 "it is beyond doubt one of the groat-1 est free milling proposition over , found ou tho coast. Tho first strike consisted of twenty ancks of ore, the second of five sacks j and the third of forty sacks. Tho owners are rot icon t about tho value of tho first aud lust strike?, but the five sack Btrike is estimated, conser vatively, at 81500. This would mako tho first find worth $0000 and tho last 812,000, a grand total of 810,500, which ia considered well within tho actual value. Tho day the last strike was made Ilia. H. E. Aukony visited tho mino and offered 81,200 for threo speci mens weighing altogether 110 ounci. This would bo nearly 811 per ounce, or In tbo neighborhood of 8201,000 por ton. The offer was refused. It is ueedless to say that these spocimeus were almost Bolid gold. Miss Jones Graduates. Miss Mabol Jones, daughter of County Surveyor Garl T.

Brown, of Marion county, Fla.. has filed notice of it suit for 825,000 damages againft The Metropolis, an afternoon papr of Jacksonville. Tho basis of the sn. is tho chargo made by that paper that tho sonator accepted and rode ou a railroad pass. Under the Florida law it is a crime for senators or representatives to accept or rido on free passes, and tho chargo of tho same is equivalent to tho chargo of a crime. Tho declaration in the caso will bo filed in June. Brown waa ro contly unseated iu Che senate by the contest of Bank ins, of Marion.

"If Russia pro- fers to coutiuuo tho wur, Japan ia willing to meet tho onomy's chal lenge," says tho Kokumiu Shimlmu, , a leading paper ot this city, comment ing on Russia's appareut stubborncsa in admitting that the timo haa arrived to arrange for ending hostilities.
