Yet mining is neglceted, almost as much as timber. Experts estimate that Jackson county has produced between $75,000,000 and "$100,000,000 in gold. In addi tion there are vast coppor deposits partially developed. All stream beds ou the west side of the valley are full of placer gold. Many millions have been tnkonfrom them and they are still producing. The country is called a" pocket country, becauso sur face formations are filled with stringers of gold. The pros pector has gone after these pockets instead of looking for the mineral formation. The source of the placora has not been found, because chimney hunters have looked in the wrong formation and only shallow work has been done. Little real mining has ever been done hero. Workings have only been scratched, and not deep enough to deter mine regarding them. This is one of the world's greatest placer fields. It affords the greatest field for quartz mining in the country. TVlien the source of the placers has been found, quartz mines will yield many times more than placers have. The world's next great mining excitement is scheduled for southern Oregon, and when it comes, previous excite ments will be far eclipsed. All this despite the nature of the native Orogouian, who does not enthuse and does not know a good thing until someone has convinced him against his will. RAILROAD COMMISSION ACTS. Gems In Verse & .

The state railroad commission has taken up, of its own motion, the question of Southern Pacific tariffs on lines in Oregon. All the class rfntes are attacked, as they were recently on the O. R. & 3ST. lines, the commission winning its fight through all courts. Class rates cover practically all shipments to and from Portland, except such commodities as grain, flour, pota toes, hay, lumber, brick, stone and livestock, which take a lower or commodity rate. "What Medford needs to build up a jobbing center is lower carload rates. The less than carload rates, compar ed with those in force on the O. R. & K, are reasonable, but the carload rates could be lowered, and probably will be, by the railroads. A GREAT MAN AT REST. Why didn't Lambardi hire a few -Hindus? Medford is growing so fast that a -sian can get lost in it. The grand opera chorus looked like a Jr. bj. construction gang. The World can breathe easier for a few days : Teddy is honeymooning. A local brickyard is making 30,' 000 brick a day, and yet cannot sup -ply them fast enough. Medford hardware . firms report March business three times as great as March a year ago. The Rogue River valley is wearing a gorgeous garb of 'bloom and tho air is redolent with tho perfume of jnynad flowers. , 'A tent city is being erected to ac commodate the overflow from hotels which Bhows'how homcseekcrs and Investors are flocking in. A Catholic prelate says that Teddy met his Waterloo at Rome. But Wat- erloo came after Elba, and the re al turn is still in progress. i Lumber dealers are straining ev--ery effort to supply the demand eused by now. building and have had Hard work to fill orders. 'Medford is one beeg leetle city," ays tho 'manager of the Lambardi Grand Opera company. And the i box-office receipts confirmed it. "Those Johnnies of Medford who 'ctookifbe show girls of Bomta's com-xpany-out to supper let the Lambardi chorus "girls" alone. Being old and ftiomy'ihas its compensations. 1 'After seeing two grand opera tragedies in one night in which the jealous husband slays his rival, the suggestion is made that Ed Andrews dramatize the Cudahy episode for .Bonita's new opera. The fame of the local boosters is abroad in tho land. Witness the fol lowing from the Roseburg News: -"The News ventures to say that no city of its size in the state has such -an array of boosters as Medford. If 'there is anything in getting before ilw world those fellows certainly Scrow tMr business," The remains of George H. Williams, the grand old man" of Oregon, were laid away for final rest today, in the presence of loving friends and admirers. No more fit ting words could be uttered than those spoken by him over 40 years ago, in the United States senate, in memory of a brother senator: "When the sun of bright day declines below the hori zon, a soft radiance lingers among the shadows of ap proaching night; and so it is when a good man goes down from a high position in the world to his resting place in the grave. Streaming behind him is the effulgence of an exalted character to illumine the way for others, and to lighten and smooth the sorrows of bereavement. "Where the departed statesman lived and died, bells have tolled their farewell peals; the pall, the hearse and the funeral procession have passed and gone; 'ashes to ashes, and dust to dust' have been spoken, and to her maternal bosom earth has folded his mortal remains. And now we, his fellow senators, have met in this chamber, where his presence and his voice were once so potent, to celebrate th closing scenes. This is the last of the ceremony. Bowing WHICH ONEf ONE of us. dear Hut one Will sit by a bed with marvelous fear And clasp a hand Growing cold as It feels for the spirit land. Darling, which one?

MAKING GOOD MONEY OUT OF BEE INDUSTRY Will Mailer commenced handling bees several years ago, more as a matter of recreation than anything else, but in timo he began to see possible commercial results, until now ho has bee stands scattered all over tho valley and each year reaps pleasurable harvest of golden honey and golden shekels. Tuesday B, F. Hemstreet hauled out to his place, which is the head quarters for the industry, 160 frames which the operators expect to have filled with honey by the end of tho season. The Itogue River valley, Mr. Mul- lor thinks, is an ideal spot for bee culture. The climate being mild and blossoms and flowers so abundant that thero is but a short, time each year when the bees cannot work. As a consequence the honey crop can bo gathered very closely without dan ger of starving the bees, Don't take the trouble and expense of moving nntil you have had "want ad help" in looking about.

Among the winds at play, Amone the lowing of the herds. The rustling of tho trees; Among the singing of the birds, 1 The humming of the bees. The foolish fears of what may happen, I cast them all away Among the clover scented grass, Among the new mown hay. Among the husking of the corn Where drowsy popples nod, Where 111 thoughts die and good are bora, Out In tho nelds with Clod. E. D. Drowning.
