Among the veteran boosters of Rogue Hirer Valley at the Develop' went League meeting Saturday was Q. F. Billings, one of Aalilaud's lead log real estate dealers. Mr. Billing! ia president of the Southern Oregon Chautauqua and he hai held that position since it wa organised 14 year ago. To Mr. Billings ii due more than to any other one person the aoceta of the Ashland Chautauqua, aa it is locally known. From a small beginning dependent on attendanoe from sparcely settled oountry it has growu until the Southern Oregon Chautauqua assembly now ranks in attendance and high class of talent on program with the assemblies held at Gladstone Park near Oregon City and at Loug Beach, Cal. President Billiogs stated that the assembly for this year will have stronger talent than at an previous assembly and the program will embrace features that will please all. The assembly for this year will convene on Wednesday, July II, and continue for nine days. The auditorium has been enlarged to seat 3O00 persons and its aocoustlo proper ties are perfect.

Dr. J. F. Reddy and Mrs. Reddy were among the visitors from Med ford to Grants Pass last Saturday. Dr. Reddy is the well known Spokane mining man who with associates bandied the famous Blue Ledge cop per property on the Upper Appleeate and placed it with New York capital ists who now have 125 men putting it in shape for installing a big smelter in the near future. And the Doctor brought about the development of the Opp mine near Jacksonville into one of the biggest gold producers in South ern Oregon. Dr. Keddy believes that there is a great future for the mines of South ern Oregon and that the development of this resource will be one of the biggest faotors in the prosperity of this section of Oregon. Dr. Reddy is one of the original hostlers that made Spokane a great mining center and uow that he has become a Southern Oregon fixture he is taming his at tention to the development of the immense mineral wealth of this sec tion. With that end in view the hnstling Doctor is planning to get up a mining oongress for Southern Ore gon. As to where it will be held has not been decided though either Medford or Grants Pass will get it. Dr. or Grants Pass will get it Dr. Reddy rather favors Grants Pass as this city is more of a mining town and center than Medford, where fruit is the leading industry. If the busi ness men of this city would take op the matter Dr. Reddy thinks that a great gathering of the leading mining men of the Pacific Coast oould be bad and that the congress would do much to advertise this section and to bring In investors. Dr. Reddy has traveled extensively and is familiar with all the great mining districts and be is confident that Southern Oregon and Northern California will beoome one of the greatest gold and copper pro ducing districts in the world. Dr. Reddy may become a resident of Grauts Pass as he is oonteniulatiug leasing the Josephine hotel and one of tb objects of his trip here Saturday was to look over the property. Dr. Reddy recently sold the Nash hotel in Medford, which he had made oue of the best hotels in Sou litem Oregon, and which under his management has beoome the rendezvous of drummers aud mining men. With the first olass service and courteous treatment that Dr. Ready would give the traveling publio he would make the Josephine oue of the most popular hotels in Souhtern Oregon and a money maker for himself and a large factor in the prosperity of Grauts Pass. The Jackson couuty newspapers were well represented at the Rogue River Development League convou tiou Saturday. Ot the two Ashland editors present the Tidings was repre sented by F. D. Wagner aud the Rec ord by E. J. Kaiser. The Medford Dnily Tribune was represented by R. R. Byram aud the Mail by A. S. ISlitou. The Southern Oregouiau of Medford was not represented.
