Born, a young man who became in'

last week, left for his home at S:.

traveling companion, Horn's relatives
having telegraphed transportation
and money, not only for the return
of tho young mull, but to cover te

Horn, after visiting a brother in
Idaho, came on into Oregon, and at
HoHcburg attracted notice by his
queer actions. He purchased a tick

traveling across the Siskivous left
the train at one of Ihe small stations,
saying it was going too slow for him
and that he could make better tir.ie
afoot. He started to walk down
through the valley and awakened peo
ple at farm houses enroute in the
middle of the night by knocking at
doors and seeking admittance. Pi
one or two instances women alom
in houses were frightened by the in

hallucination that sonic one was seek

Says Commercial Club Has Right

W. T. Buchanan, managing editor
of the Daily Capital of Des Moines,
Iowa, accompanied by his wife and
his son Robert rdopped in Medford
last night, with a view of getting a
glimpse of the valley so that he could
tell his friends in Iowa of the con
ditions existing in the Rogue River
eoutnry.
Mr. Buchanan is at the head of
one of the greatest dailies in the
middle vhj and has held n respon
sible; cmiiieetion with the Associated
Press for many vears. He is iu a
position to give the Hogne River
country the widest kind of publicity
and his opinion was sought by the
roKirtrr with u view of finding out
just what he thought of this portion
of the Const. In talking with him
he remarked :
"No man could make up his opin
ion ot tne resources oi tins vaney
in a single day. I have traveled dur
ing the last eight weeks liv or six
thousand miles, largely in the moun
tain section of our common country,
and my present iniprcsisons are tin. t
this is one of the choicest spots of
the Pacific Coast. The valley her
itself reminds one a pmd deal of the
surrounding country of Pasadena
and liiverside. Of course, in these
two places it is the orange grove
which gives the beautiful vista of the
eye. Here it is your pear and apple
trees, hut to the uninitiated in fruit
culture, there is that same general
iiupiv-isnii. the same contour of
scenic beauty, and to the easterner
il creates n very delightful impres
sion, Climate an Asset.
1 have just come out of the Klam

with this fact on arriving here. Ih"l
there was just as much chance for
the Klamath County man to come
over in Medford to live during Hi'
winter as it is for the Iowa man t.i
j.,i tn Pasadena. Your climate here
is uinl"diti'illy a great asset, and v''l
