"The trip was the finest we have
e cr taken," stated both young Indies.
"Jn our estimation the wonderful
forest we traversed, Mill Creek fulls,
th? falls and fgorge' of the upper
Rogue river uenr Union creek as well
as the scenic beauties of the Rogue
al' along its course, vie with the
k'.ke in attractiveness. No trip that
we know of combines so many sights,
ard we will net as advertising agents
of Medford and the Crater Lake conn
try in the east.

people most iifieeable and the road,
while rough, well worth traveling. W
