A MEDFORD MELON MEDLEY.
(By The Tribune Special Poet.)
What's the use of sighin' for
The good tilings fur away;
An' the. lields of old Kentcky
And the Sunny South today.
What's tho uso of singin' of
Old Bingen ou the Rhine,
"While in Oregon the melons
Are a smilin' on tho vino?
Chorus.
Oh, what 's the use of piuin
For tho days of old lang syne,
While today the sun is sliinin'
And there's melons on the vine!
Let others sing the glory of
The vaunted lands of gold,
Where it 's hut as Ilellen Summer
Or else downright cussed cold.
Gold is sought to purchase pleasure,
But micli pleasure I resign,
Living in this land of plenty,
And the product of the vine.
Thero are pretty girls in
Georgia and in old Kentucky, too.
Pretty faces, many places,
Some are false and some are true.
But for girls most blessed with
Goodness, give mo Oregon for mine,
Where the red-ripe water watermelons
Are a smiling on the vine.
I know a girl in Oregon whose
Cheeks ure like tho rose,
And a sort of honey sweetness,
Her groat dreamy eyes disclose;
She is gentle, fair and winsome,
How 1 wish that she wero mine!
She is sweeter than tho melons,
She is smilin' on the vine.
1 see the gold of evening
Burn, from gold to crimson red,
And the sun's great disc descending
To his western ocean bed.
A flood of crimson glory
O'er the landscape fair doth shine.
Go to sleep, old watermelon,
While I glom von from the vine.
D. D. Duff
Is not given to "guff."
Ho deigns not to "puff,"
And he boasts not to "bluff,"
But says that, by gosh, for
Him, Old Oregon is good enough.
Tn other words, Mr. Duff, our es
teemed citizen, is of the opinion after all
his experience in other states, that
there is none so dear to his heart ns
old Oregon.
The fine new two-story brick school
house a mile out on the Med ford Jack
sonville road in district 64, is being
rushed to completion by Contractor
Priddy. About 40 pupils will attend
t hero this year and it is said that Del
mar Fredricks will wield the birch.
A. 0. Allen and family of tho Holly
wood farm are at Crater lake on an
outing. Mr. Allen's father, a recent
ly retired officer of the United States
armv, accompanies the party.
J. M. Schmidt and sons report a pros
porous yield from their large farm des
pite that this is an extra ury ear.
Formerly in their vicinity corn has pro
duccd as much ns 1H bushels per acre
The Schmidts have a fine 40-hnrse pow
or auto and though they are farmers
it was hard for tho reporter tn dialing
uish them from capitalists.
a T. Lawrence who has lands else
where in the valley is now established
n t,;. 34-aern fruit and alfalfa
f.irm n mile west of Mcdford.
When the reporter went in at the
outer cite of the broad and beautiful
fields of the .T. M. Webb ranch he was
followed bv a big herd of spotted pigs.
Wo hope they did not consider us n
bore.
Mr. and Mrs. .1. C. Godlove formerly
of Kansas and lately of California
are making their lately acquired Oregon
farm a pnradiBC of productiveness, al
falfa, grain, melons, garden truck, fruit
and flowers are yielding there in amino
ance.
Frank Bvbee is one of the most pros
porous bachelors in the Rogue River
vnlley. He has threo fruitful rnnches
and it would seem no more than fair
that he would .join the benidicts and
heln Teddv Roosevelt in the fight
airainst "race suicide."
William Lewis has completed a fine
residence on his beautiful farm three
miles west of Mcdford and has
abundant crop of fruit, grain and gar
den.
Henrv Mnnrcv And friends are on an
oiitini expedition on the headwaters of
the L'mpqua river where bear, deer and
all kinds of wild "varmints
still
m x-liv-i l"k A A IIP"
abound in primitive glory.
J. M. Wright and wife of near Cen
tral Point have just returned from a
trip by horso and buggy through
southern Oregon to vurious points in
the upper Willamette valley. They say
the trip was fine.
J. E. Nichols, having moved from
Table Rock to his 80-ncro farm near
Tolo, is Betting about to mako it fruit
ful. Ho has orchards and garden ga
lore. A. Bnles and family of near Central
Point nre harvesting fruit and gar
den in abundance. The Hansens In
thiB vicinity have about 60 stands of
fine honey.
W. P. Counts of Tolo has his 50-acre
farm under fine culture but by force of
habit still follows his profession of
railroading.
Mr. Blackbura who had a varied ca
reer as a prospector in various parts of
the west and was the discoverer of tho
Little Lost river lead camp in Idaho
is now passing the yearB happily with a
wife and family in a neat little houBO
on his lands near Gold Ray. Ho is an
inveterato fisherman, knows every habit
of the spotted beauties and gave the
reporter some points on how to angle
but he will not publish them for fear
the river would be depopulated of fish.
J. li. Stevens of near Gold Ray is con
pleting an eight-room two-Btory resi
dence where he will settle down from
all his wanderings in tho west deciding
that old Oregon is the best of all.
,T. P. Noonan and wife of Montana
have settled near Central Point and
gone into the melon industry.
Robert Ashworth who hns 25 acres
near Central Point, says that while
he has a fairly good crop it is the dryest
season he has seen for 18 years.
Mrs. F. W. Sifcrs of Tolo is a lover of
flowers and has almost every
varietv of blossom which the mild,
sweet, dreamy climate of southern Ore
gon will produce and that is saying a
zreat deal. Her house is literally full
and overflowing with all kinds of bright
and fragrant blossoms and tho yards
round ubout are a brilliant galaxy of
colors, heavy with sweetness and musicnl
with the song of bees. As an innova
tion she has n couple of lemon trees
which Bho sometimes puts under abetter
in winter, but which now adorn tho
kitchen yard with a rich green foliage.
They are laden with lemous twice the
size of those generally seen in the mar
kets and though the lemon is some
thing near a tropical fruit it looks fav
orable for raising them in southern
Oreoon. Thev say that flowers grow
best for those who lovp them and this
may bo what makes Mrs. Sifer's
flowers so beautiful and abundant. The
reporter stopped a few minutes so
charmed was ho bv the blossoms and the
ladv gave him a boquet bo big and so
gloriously sweet and beautiful that all
the hardships and bitterness of years in
other lands were forgotten in a deluge
of sweet memories of earlier days in
his own dear native land of Oregon
from which he so lone has been an exile.
Such friendliness from strangers will
help to heal many a heartache and
by such kindness ho is brought again
to realize how God has made the world
so beautiful. Though we may nevor
bv tlmt same beautiful flower
mrden nEiiin wo will uover forget
There were two more special ura
of kindness shown the passing reporter
for which he feels that tho world is
even better than ho ever knew it to
be before coming back to Oregon and
the Hoo-uo River valley, stopping Drier-
Iv at tho groat 640-acro farm of the
llanleys lie taiKeo wun mi ..n. ...
Itonlev auain of the old home lands and
there was a glorious, historic om wecp-
n,r will,, w tree in front of tnc llaniey
rpi,lnc!' so unspeakably beautiful and
stately and graceful and dreamy in its
al.nl'nrintr folds. JU ETIlZing UPOU II J
saw all the past again through a mist of
memories. Miss Hanley told now me
willow had been brought 50 years ago
hv her father from Salein, Oregon as a
little sprig, its parent willow having
... from a plantation in the oiu uis
tnric south and now its sturdy giant
branches were towering in the morning
sunlight of southern Oregon wniBper-
ng gently of the vnnisiiou vimi.
Great dark green walnut irees iu
across the walk whispering gently to
the willow, the morning sunlight flood
ed in through tho flowers and vines and
rehards and great farm regions, wng-
. , . , l.n fii.Ma of
nns came anu weui ini t
clover. As tho reporter was
about to resume his journey,
Miss Hanley said: "Wont you
lease let me give you a watermelon.
Ami so it was that we went away toting
an Oregon watermelon almost half the
size of a 250 pound orcgoninn.
Another examplo of Oregon hospi
tality that wo want to mention in poini
was that Mrs. ,T. W. Vincent gave ns n
lot of bis ripe pears and peaches all
tinted with the sunshine and mellow
and lucious with the glory of the early
autumn. Now wo know that there is
no clime like Oregon and tue saying
that Or'gonians are the most tender
hearted people in the world wo know to
I,,, a truth. 'Tis said that the gentle
Oregon rains melt all the adamentine
from the heart of dwellers here from
...i..,-r land they hail.
In n visit to the beautiful Gold Ray;

few hours.
All these items were pickej up io a
brief buggy rule to Central Point and
mile out from Medford. The reporter
interviewed many farmers and found
than, oil J!.. . , ,.
Lveu the bulldogs are tender hearted
fellows in Oregon and too conscientious
to bite even a bill collector, much less
a journalist. Where in one instance a
bulldog did look threatening and his
tail stood up straight as a crowbar we
found he was simply standing at "at
tontion arms" in honor of our coming.
In somo places, seeing a stranger they
wonld have said "sic 'em" but not so
in Oregon. They here dismiss the dog
and welcome you into the inner sanc
tums of their homes, but such hospital
ity can be partly accounted for by the
fruitfnlness and mystic beauty of the
country. Glorious land of sou thorn
Oregon, it is one of tho most beautiful
and hospitable home lands of all the
west.
MISS FOSTER WILL BIDS IN
BELAY BACE FOR MEDFORD
Miss Violet Foster enters the ladies'
two and one-half-milo relay race, and
will bo Medford's representative lady
rider during the coming fair. The
ladies' relay race is attracting great
attention. Mrs. Will DoRoboam has

sonville. Ashland is yet to hear from,
but it is understood that they are look
ing about for a rider that can come
to Mcdford and carry off the capital
prize. Kob Mooro has entered for tho
five-mile cowboy race, and other names
are being sent in from difl'erent parts of
tho county. The committee will soon

ent indications excitement will run
high.

Made rich by a hard rain storm on
the side of Mount San Bernardino,
Jacob L. Thonmson is on his wav to
the mountain today, after having filed
a placer claim revealed to him by a
miniature flood.
Thomason was prospecting among the
old Moxican placers near Hesperia when
he was overtaken by a furious storm,
which forced him to seek shelter. After
a quarter of an inch of rain had fallen
less than one hour, throwing the
canyons into roaring torrentH, Thomason
returned to his work. When the water
subsided he savs he found scores of
rich placer pockets and within a few
hours panned out nearly $1001) in gold.
