On June 26 They Viewed lor ftie First Time the Rogue River VaJlev. Some historians declare thafSouth eru Oregon was discovered .when Sir Frauds Drake sailed into the month of the Umpqua in tbe summer of 1578, and pat bis Spanish pilot, Morera, ashore and left him to find bis way back, 3500 miles through an unknown country, thickly populated with sav ages to his heme in Mexico. Strange as it may teem, Morera accomplished tnhis feat, as Spanish records fittest. Others say that Southern Oregon was discovered iu 1003 by Martin de Agoilar, when he sailod bis vessels into the month of the "Tootootnnas River," since known as the Rogno. Still others declare Southern Oregon was nob discovered nntil the region was first entered, or rather, traversed by a party of trapiers and hunters of the Hndsou Bay Company iu 1825. Bat the real discovery of Southern Oregon was not nntil 1846. It was then Lindsay Applep,ato, the noted explorer and plnueer , lud a party of men-through that vast region of Ore gon, marked on the maps then nsed as "unkuownaud unexplored territory." This party of brave and danutless men started from the Willamette Val loy, journeyed southward into the Valley of thn Umpqaa, cruised the Const Mountains Divide, followed Cow Creek Canyon, and came down into the Kogue River Valley, journeying ou saotheast over the Cascades iulo Klamath. A great portion of the route followed and blazed by them later became widely known as the "Otegou Trail? It was this historic expedition that marked the real discovery of Southern Oregon. Sir Francis Drake may have been the first white man to feast his eyes ou the pine-clad magnificeuce of this country, but his was only the casual glimpse of the seaman from the deck of his ship, ard it accom plished nothing; the suiue was true of Agoilar, who entered the Rogue and, like rakje, found only "a poor harbor the month, of the river that has its source in a wild, mountainous coun try, populated with savagrs. " The Hudson Bay Company, which was so well acquainted with the Co lumbia River coontry and the Wil lamette Valley, was in total ignorance of the Southern Oregou region. A party of this company ventured southward and crossed the Coast Mountains in the early '40s. They re turned to Vancouver after a long and perilous journey and reported the southern portion of Oregon to be "desort-like and infested with fierce and war-like savages. " This was the idea hold of Southern Oregon till Applegate aud party passed through and explored it In 184)1. They learned more of the Rogue River Valley, and of Rogne or "Rascal" River than had ever been known be fore. They also discovered the "Ap plegate Rivor," the stream that was later named in honor of the noted ex plorer. "From what information we could gather from old pioneers," says Lind say Applegate in his records of the trip, "we believed the Cascade Mount ains to the south became very low or terminated where the Klamath cut that chain; and knowing that the Blue Mountains lay catt and west, we concluded that there must be a belt of country extruding east toward the south pass of the Rocky Mountains, and where, there might be no vast, lofty ranges to cross. So In 1S4C, we organized a company to undertake its exploration. Tho company was com posed of the following persons : Levi Scott, John8cott, Henry Boggus.Lina say Applegate, .Tisse Applegate, Ben jamin Burch, John Owens, John Jones, Robert Smith, Samuel Goodhue, Moses Harris, David Goff, Lien It Osborne, William Sportsman and William Par ker. Each man was provided with a saddle horse, aud a pack horse, mating 30 animals. "We started from what is now the town of Dallas, and at the close of the first day's journey, made camp ntjthe mouth of Mary's River, or what is now the town of Corviillis. "Then we moved ou through the grassy oak hills and narrow valleys to the North Umptiua River. The cross ing was a rough aud dangerous one, as the river bed was a mass of loose rocks and, as we were crossing, oar horses occasionally fell, giving the riders a severe docking. "On the morning of the 24th we left camp early, and moved on about five miles to the snath branch of the Ump qua, a considerably stream, probably SO yards wide, coming from tbe eastward. Travelling op that stream almost to the piace where the Indian trail crosses the Umpqua Mountains, we camped for the night opposite the historic Umpqaa Canyon. "The next morning, Jane 2'ith, we entered the Umpqua (Cow Creek) Can yon, following the stream that wiuds through the rocky defile for four or five miles, crossing the creek a great many times. As we advanced the canyon became more and more ob strocted with brash and timber; the little trail we were following turned op the side of the ri'ge, where the woods were more open, and wound its way to tbe top of the mountain. It then turned sooth along narrow backbone of the moantaio, the dense thicket and tbe rocks on either aide OREGON HISTORY affording an excellent opportunity for ambush. A short time before this a party from California had been at tacked on this summit ridge by the Iudians, and one man had been severe ly wounded. Several of tbe horses had also been shot with arrows. We conld see that a large party of Iudians had pass sd over the trail, traveling south ward, only a few day before. "On the morning of the 2tb we di vided oar forces part going hack to ex ploie the canyon, while the remaiudei stayed to guard the camp aud horses. The exploring party went back to where we left the canyon, by the little trail on the day before, and returning through the canyon, reached camp af ter night, reporting that wagous oonld be taken through. "Making an early start the next day we moved on very cautiously. When ever the trail passed through thickets, we dismounted and led oar hotses, having oar gans In hand ready at any moment to use them in self-defense, for we had adopted the rnle never to be the aggressor. Toward evening we saw a great many Indians posted along the mountain side, and uow and then running ahead of us. As we ap proached Rogue River the Iudians in large numbers, occupied the baus where the train crossed. Having un derstood that this crossing was a fav orite place of attack, we decided, as it was growing late, to pass the night on the prairie. "In selecting onr camp on Rogoe River, we obsevrcd the greatset cau tion. Cutting stakes from thn limbs of an old oak that stood on the open gronnd, we picketed oar horses with double Btakes, aud as firmly as possi ble. The horses were picketed in the form of a hollow square outside of which wo took onr positions. - All night vigilant guar. I was kept over our camp, but nothing occurred, and the next morning we found the Indi ans occupying the same position as at dark. "There had been a veiy heavy dew daring the night, and we were afrai 1 our firearms (which woretnnzsle load ers and flint locks), had. been made oesless. So we fired them off and re loaded. "We formed two divisions, with the parkhorrcs behind, and moved for ward. Ou ncaring the river the pack horses were pat to the fore and driven acrosi, while one division, with Rons ready and eyes and ears alert, guarded the brush nntil the front or first di vision was safely over. Then they kept guard while tho second division made the crossing. "The Indians kept watch on os while we crossed the Rogoe,. bat not once did they evince any sign of at tack. Iu fact, we gave them no op portunity, fcr had they done so, they won I I have at ouce exposed themselves to onr fire, "The Rogue is a deep aud rapid stream, aud only in summer ran it be forded at all. In the deeper channel the ponies were forced to swim. Had" we rushed pell-mell Into the stream, as parties fnqaeutly do nnder such circumstances, oar expedition and oar entire party would no Jonbt have come to an end there. "After crossing wo turned up the river, aud the Indians In large nam. ber came oat of the thickets on tho opposihte side. They tried by every means to provoke as. "There appeared to' be a gteatcoui moliou among them. A party had left the French settlomeut In the Willam ette Valley some three or four weeks before ns consisting of French half breeds, Columbia Indians and a fow Americans, probably about 80 iu all. Passing oue of their encampments, we could see by the sign that they were only a short distance ahead of os. We afterward learned this fiarty had eucounttred the Indians and had soffered losses, botti among their own nonilier aud by the theft of their horses. They had made an effort to recover the stolen property, aud had thos been much delayed. From oar camp we saw many signal fires aloug the mountain ridges to the east want "Ou the morning of Jane 211 we passed over a low range of hills, from the summit of which we had a splen miglit liave discovered something ol the kind after they crossed the Cas cades and entered the Oregon desert, bat this cannot be assigned to South ern Oregon.

A TRIP ACROSS THE Southern Oregon and Northern California Have Abundance ' of Magnificent Scenery. E. S. Va.nDyk In tha Evening Telegram Describes e. Southward Trip. . The never-ending glories of the Adi rondacks have been told aud retold by writers of fautatsio homor and the draemers of poet io dreams; the snow capped peaks of the old . world have been scaled aud rescaled, both iu poet ry aud in prose, and rven here on our own Pacific Coast the beauties of the Yellowstone Park aud the Yoseniito Valley have already been ptesciited many time to the pubilo by vivid peu pictures snatched from . some admir able brain. But of Oregon, with it's snow-car red mountain peaks, its dashing mountain rivers, leaving vast and unexplored cauyou l i their flow ouward to the Pacific little has as yet been writteu; and of Southern Oregon, the Italy of the state, comparatively nothing. Yet here iu this secluded little paradise, with its Italian skies, its nuaniinity of climate, its vast mineral wealth of gold aud copper, its abundance of all varieties of frail, and, above all this its sturdy, resolute "citizens, nature has displayed some of her grandest handiwork. Many inspiring bits of scenery such as the great gorge of the Rogue, River, tho giant caves of Josehplno comity, and that wonderful world-famed mir ror of tho Indian gods. Crater Lake, combine to give tojthls chosen district an enchuutnieut iu tho minds of the old settlers. And especially are they dear, as they aro nearly all hallowed with a crowu of Indian lore. The Siskiyou Mountains, perhaps the grandest of all this charm of scen ery, He along the southern boundary of the state, and may bo said to bind Oregou and California together, since they extend partly into Northern Cal ifornia, aud thus form the connecting link of the two states. Leaving Grunts Pais, a thriving lit tle city of about 4000 inhabitants, nestled close ou the bosom of Southern Oregon hills, at about uoou, we begin the journey which, auring the course of tha day is to take os over tho Sis kiyoos on down Into the Statu of Cal ifornia. For about too miles the railtoad fol lows tho bends and carves of Rogue River, a mischievous little slreain, laughing and chattering like a child at play, on Its way seaward; and now we begiu to catch occasiona' glimpses of rare beauty. Here at our left arises a gigantic cliff, perhap s 1000 feet high, its sides showing .the warring aud beating of the elements on Its surface for thous ands of years. Its top is as smooth ua marble, and hero is the famous coun cil table of the Rougo River Iudians We can almost see the mighty chicf tatius as thoy meet there night after night, with their strange customs and dances, either to smoke the peace pipe or to listen to the wild haranguu of oue cf thoir number inciting them to a war wiih the Khimaths iu the south. For a moment the lingo rocks of a canyon obstruct oar view, but now we are out in the glorious suullRht again, and right before ns is Jackson County's mctroKis Ashland, the last city on the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon, At Ashlaud oar train takes on now engines of a much largur type than thosD of tho valley countrj, mas sively and powerfully built.

SISKIYOU MOUNTAINS the pnlsatious of thior mighty heart oue can almost hear tl era groan with thoir gigantic labor. But now we are Hearing the summit, and as we look hundreds of feet beneath os on either side we can see in horseshoe bends aud carious circles the winding, tortooas way over wnich we have made oor climb. There to the cast Is a pretty little valley, with a larm house almost over grown with the fields of alfalfa; here a modest farmer lives, to all intents and purpose, hundreds of milea from oivilizatiou, eking out a scanty exist ence from his little farm, and brinlgug op his family to follow iu hi foot steps. Little noes lie know or the maddeuiug rush aud bustle of the busy world beyond his narrow sphere yet "whoro iguoraueo is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise." Now we have raeched the summit of the mountains, a little over 4000 feot above the sea level, aud cau look away in all directions upon a perfect sea of mountain peaks beneath us. At the summit stands the little station of Siskiyou, a picturesque little place built right over a cliff, and in this isolation oue or two fumilles mast spend a part of their lives. We are on the down grade and can hear no moro tha labored breathing of the engines, sod wo give a sigh of re lief that their trouble is euded. A loug wail from tho whistle reminds ns that wo are nearlug the wonderful Siskiyon tunnel, aud almost before we can realizo it we are plunged into the bowels of tho earth. Once more into daylight, and we are whirled along over high steel trestles that make Oiio shrink with terror, on til the sound of the whistle again tells us that wo aro nearlug a little Btutlon As the train draws np back on the hills, and almost surrounded with muck orango aud its native forests of pine and II r, stands a rustic little sum iner resort called Coleatin. Here the people of Southern Oregou coino to spend their summers aod to build np their physical bodies with the health giving waters of the srplngs. Arouud tho train are gathered peihaps 100 peo plo from the hotel and camps who have come down to witness the oue excite meut of tho day the arrival of the train. A few miles on again aud In the distance we see Shasta, the most beautiful of mountains. Clear, cold and whito as a spectre, it rises before as, and seems to plerco the ethereal domo abovu it with Its regal head; 14,414 feet above the sea level, It stretches it kingly crown to meet the nuipyrlnu above it, and Its lofty efforts cunutit but inspire its observer with a feeling of wonder and admiration, mid cause hlw to long to emulato Its magnificence and purity. But now we have crossed the line, and aro rapidly nearlug the Sacramcu to Valley; so as this sketch is only to portray a little of the scenery of Snuthrcu Oregon, we will stop at the summer resort of Shasta Retreat, whl to in the hazy distance tho train dashes along toward tho sunset i-lty of the West Sun Fruucisca City Treasurer' Notice.
