Med ford, Jacksonville and Grant's Pass to do hom age to the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and incidentally exploit the Southern Em pire, as it is familiarly known by those who have cast their fortunes in the prom ised land. While the attendance was not large. It was thoroughly representative, as nearly all of the prominent citizens and public men of the prosperous South ern Oregon cities were at the Exposition, telling of the crowds that were to come later in the Summer. Irrigation was probably the most inter esting and most widely discussed subject of the day, and the visitors spent many hours In the Government building exam ining the exhibit of the United States Geological Survey, which shows that which has been accomplished and the projects under advisement In the way of reclaiming the arid lands of Oregon and other Western states. That the Southern Oregon people are exceedingly proud of the success and reputation they have acquired in the raising of fruits was viv idly Impressed upon all those who came In contact with them at the Exposition grounds yesterday, as they could always spare the time to say a good word about the peaches, apples, melons and berries grown in the southern part of the state In such abundance and excellency of flavor. The mineral resources of South ern Oregon were amply exploited, as well as the immense possibilities offered -for diversified farming. Southern Oregon Reunion. At the meeting and reunion of the Southern Oregon visitors held in the Ore gon building yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Frank Williams, of the 'Oregon State Commission, who resides at Ash land, presided as chairman. The first speaker to be introduced was Colonel Henry E. Dosch. director of exhibits, who delivered an address of welcome to the Southern Oregon people in the name of the Lewis and Clark corporation. "I re member a story of an old Kcntuckian who said that all liquor was good, but that some was better than others," said Col onel Dosch. "It is the same way in this state. "All of Oregon Is good, but some parts arc better than others, which ap plies to Southern Oregon, as it Is the Paradise of the great Northwest." President Jefferson Myers, of the Ore gon State Commission, welcomed the vis itors to Portland, and spoke on the won derful prospects of the Southern Empire. He said that any one that possessed or wou'd acquire land In Southern Oregon would In ten years have a pension that would make him Independent for the rest of his lifetime. In speaking of the early days. President Myers said he wished old Ben Hayden were there to tell of the early Judicial transaction- at KIrbyvllle. which provoked considerable laughter and applause. Professor Mnlkey's Address. Professor F. P. Mulkcy. of the State Normal School at Ashland, delivered an address on the resources and advantages of Southern Oregon, which' received the unanimous approval and hearty com mendation of all those assembled at the Oregon building to hear the exercises. He was Interrupted by frequent bursts of ap plause and it was universally conceded that it was one of the most eloquent and particularly appropriate -addresses ever delivered In Portland. "Over eo.O0O,)OC of gold has been taken irom tne itogue iuver valley In a gen eration, stated Professor Mulkey. In speaking of the resources of Southern Oregon. "It came from the bedrock. whither gravity carried it This is but the crumbs from the table. Up In -the mountains surrounding Rogue River He the mother lodes. The. veil Is being lifted and the vast wealth is coming Into requi sition. .Numerous quartz mines have passed beyond the experimental stage and are paying large dividends. "This section of the country also grows fruit of the finest quality." he continued. The apples that won the nrlze at the Charleston exposition grew in the suburbs or Medrord and the Ashland peach won first place for Oregon at the Charleston, Buffalo and Chicago fairs. successlveK- The apples and pears raised In the Rogue River Valley are familiar In the markets ot ew lorK. L.l-enooI and the Orient The large orchards In full bearing bring irom to jio an acre a year Income. Thousands of acres have been slanted In 'late years, and It would be hard to set a umit to the extent of this production tn years to come. Eulogy for Ashland.

A Normal tcnooi, with a large attendance and graduating class of -il teachers awaiting next year- wonc is in operation, and Is weir equipped and well established In public confidence. This school has stu dents from alL the counties of Southern Oregon. ' Professor Mulkey paid a tribute to led ford. Grants Pass and Jacksonville as thriving cities, full of enterprise and pub lic spirit The harmony that prevails amorig thes several cities as they seek to oeveiop tne Rogue River valley, he said, was especially noteworthy. Mr. Williams dosed the speaking by thanking the Exposition officials for their courtesies and assuring them of ths 'Southern "Oregon people a Tnlereit Trr all things pertaining to the success of the Fair.

A.-Storey has: two-protests to regis ter one against" the Exposition officials in regard. tgjthelrjullng concerning the use ot heavy trucks- inside- the Fair grounds; the other towards the tax de partment of --Multnomah-County In refer ence to Its valuation of certain properties in the. Cilx ot-PoctIand...Ja the first case he has no remedy so far as Is at present cn: 4n the other, ho has tht right- to appeal to the Board of Equalization, and he intends to use- the right. Both .of his contentions seom- to be 'based on founda tions of reasonableness and aimed at In justice. , In the first Instance, the Exposition offi cials have alleged that the use of heavy trucks on the roadways of the Exposition grounds necessitated much extra. wdtk and -expense to keep the drives In" good condition and smooth. To overcome this they hac Issued orders' prohibiting the use of anything other than automobile trucks Inside the grounds. Heavy Charge by Auto Trucks.. Heretofore, according to -Mr. Storey., it has been possible to have coal or other merchandise hauled from down town to tne grounds at a cost of from 31 to JL23 a ton. This was considered a. reasonable charge, but it has nor. been doubled by the automobile truck company which re fuses to haul coal, even In five-ton lots for less than 92 a -ton. In the event that tbef coal Is hauled to .the gates of the Fair grounds and reloaded on the auto trucks there, the company will not make the short haul of a couple of blocks or so for less than Jl.a0 a ton. Thinking that this price was -exorbitant, Mr. Storey asked permission of the Expo sition officials to allow the coal dealers to haul their produce to the consumers by way of the American Inn road, which Is planked, and would not he harmed by the common vehicles, but Ihis xlght was also denied, and nothing remains for the deal ers to do bet to pay the. double charge of the auto truck people. In that event it is to be presumed that either the dealer will have to lose his profit, or the con sumer will have to pay the freight In the case of the taxation. Mr. Storey makes common cause with the small coal dealers of the city against the large cor porations, which dqdge their taxes and pay much less on a large property under valued than the little men do on a small plant valued at its market rating. To this argument Mr. Storey brings facts and figures gleaned from knowledge and the tax-roll. Valuation hy Big Plants. According to his statement the Pacific Coast Coal Company enters Its entire stock and merchandise at J4000. paying a total tax of J160. It Is known to be. a fact, however, that the company has bunkers which cost JSO.000. while It car ries at all times a stock of from 5000 to COCO tons ot coal. Valued at from $3 to ?S a ton on a very conservative estimate. This places the value of the eptlre plant and stock, at a right and reasonable esti mate, close to J12S.O), upon which sum taxes should be paid. The Holmes Coal & Ice Company places a valuation of WO upon, its notes, money and accounts, SC0 upon ft head of horses, JS0O upon the wagons. $000 upon its ma chinery and equipment; or a total of 550 upon its. entire business, and pays $110 taxes each year. At the same time the company owns bunkers costing J6O,O0O. and carries at all times In stock at least 300) tons ot coal, which, at a low estimate, could be valued at Xft.GOO. The actual - value or the plant and business Is, there fore, between $30,000 and J101CCO. and upon this sum the taxes ought, in Justice, to be paid, instead of upon the $2350. The company with which Mr. Storey is" connected Is capitalized at $4000, and pays taxes upon Its entire valuation, while the same Is true with the other smaller firms throughout tho city. In common, there fore, with the rest of the lesser lights in the coal business, Mr. Storey does not think it Just that the large corporations should - dance unless they chip In to liquidate the orchestra. It is his Inten tion, working with the others, to see to It that the big companies pay their share, even If It Is necessary to make his argu- !:: i Z 2 1 a HOTEL Fifth;?iid-J7ashInfton'Streets EUROPEAN PLAN iKiwmi, ll'M t SS.M Per Xy.
