Dairying In Southern Oregon Southern Oregon is to have the uext ! annual meeting of the Oregon Dairy-1 men Association, which at their re cent session at forest Grove voted the honor to Ashland, and will meet theie next December. Rogue River Valley ii gaining con siderable of a reputation as a dairy district and Dr.Wilhycombe and other expects predict that the time is not distant whon this Valley will be one of the large dairy sections of the state and quite as noted for its flue butter as is Tillamook. Rogne River butter now has a high standard and the Ash- land'creamery won a gold medal at the Lewis and Clark fair. The Ash land creamery has averaged 150 rolls per day this fall and the Medford oreamery has averaged 200 rolls per day. These are the only creameries lu Jackson county. Josephine ss yet has no creamery, but a large quantity of bntter is made on the dairy farms, quite a nomber of the farmers having separators and make a superior butter. The Apple gate and the Illinois valliys are each exceptionally good dairy districts and the industry is now becoming quite important, especially in the Il linois valley, where it is the prinoiral business to many of the farmers. There are good openings now at Kerby and Provolt for small creameries. With a steady market for cream tlm farmers in the vicinity of these places woaTd very soon increase their herds of cows and these creameries could build up a large trade. With all the butter that is made Id Rogue River all the local demand Is not nearly supplied and large quanti ties are importe'l. And such it the growth of this section by reason of its mineral, timber, fruit and other indus tries that the local demand for butter will always esceed the supply and good pricis will continue, as now to make dairying one of the most profit able, industries of Southern Oregon.

Oatel l-elluw a' Illo.-U It was a lively day during the sum merof'TO that I saddled my horse- Wild Bill at the stable iu Happy Camp on the Klamath river and started for my home in the Illinois valley, near Waldo. There was a big ball at the ramp the night before. I had danced all night and was tired, but busiuiss called me home. It was 11 o'clock wheu I left the camp aud I reached what was kuown as the Tub Spring on the summit of the mount ain at S that evening. Here was fine grass aud I turned Bill loose to feed, intending to start again alter an hour's rekt as I had resolved to travel all of tbe following night. I lay down on the grass near the spring aud was soon fast asleep. I (lid not intend doing this as grizzly bears aud gray wolves were often met here ou this trail aud it was not really safe for one to sleep there aloue. I was sleep- ug soundly when a snort from my hoise rung out ou the air. I bounded up while Bill came running to me. Hiioke itoiitlv to him aud we both looked and Untuned for some time, hut I oould neither see nor hear any thing as a dense fog was settling over the mountain aud it was soon so durk that I could not see the trail. I strnck a match, consulted my watch and found that it was 10 o'clock, but whs fYteraiiuud to reach Waldo who as possible. I gave Bill the reins knowing that he would keep the trail if given his own way. Bill was a rapid walker and he walked steadily for about two hours when he halted mil refused to move. I let him stand a moment and said "go on, t Id Boy,' hut he snored aud still refuted to go ahead. It wax the bind cut night over saw. I could not see my hand wheu held ahovu my head. Again tried lo get Bill to go ou hut he was frightemd and wanted lo turn back ou the road. I was tired aid concluded to camp there the test of the night. I tit tl Bill to a tree and groped round through the timber, which grew he o u thick ax it could xlaiul, hut could Hud nothing with which 1 could make il lire, so I wrapped my saddle blanket around me, lay down in the trail near my hoixn and was soon axleep. I bad slept about au a hour when a low cry arose on the night which grew louder and loud r as it progrexxid until it hicuinx a mighly wail. In all of my life I had never heard a uoixe so truly awful, and 1 stood there iu the darkness almost paralyzed with fi nr. I knew that no animal on earth ever cried like that and that it was a human voice. Again the awful cry went up, beginuii g ax before with a low moan like someone iu great pain or distress, nnd iu about live minutes ending iu a iiiighMy wail, Thix was kept up for near an hour. While liHteiiiiig to there dread ful criis and xpeculal ing as to what it wax, I concluded it was what I had heard ilexi r'hed by old huulerx as the dentil wail of all Indian who had lost friends in bill tie and such it proved to be, but I had never beard it before Hid to meet it hele alone iu the ilatk in kx of tbe night it wax indeed truly awful. Pining all of this turn' m horre wax tiervonx slid 1 hail hard work to keep him from breaking away from inc. Tlm horrible uiiisn cibmiI at laid aud all was still. They wire ou the Hail ahead of me about two hundred yards diotnnt and what to do I did not know, but 1 ccticluihd to havi the trail and try to get around them I saddled Bill and taking the reins in my hand left the trail and led him slowly, feeling my way through the brush. After going a short distance I saw a small lire on the trail aud could ree the forms of about a do.i n Indians sitting ou the ground around it. I now moved w ith gn at cant ion, palling tl e bruch ahead of me and frequently jerking Bill to keipbiu quiet and at last 'cached the trail around the Indians camp. I was gUd indeed ss I was ositive t lit y bad not heard me Again 1 mounted Wild Bill and we reached Waldo about 10 o clock the uext day where I learned that a few days before a lot of Snake Indians, who were on tbe Smith River reseivallou above Crescent City, had ki'led some Indium ami several white men and escaped. Sotm of this baud bad Wcu killi d lu 1'ie affr.ty and these were the fellows whom I had set n and w ho had chanted that great lameutatlon ou the mount am that night.
