THE CRATER LAKE HIGHWAY.
HE
E people of southern Oregon are raising n fund to
to hnild bv subserintion a hiehwny to Crater Lake
National Park, the most interesting geological section, ot
tho globe) a region containing many natural wonders, m
i1tir1iiirV what E. H. Harriman and other globe trotters
jhave pronounced "tho greatest natural wonder in tho
world" Crater JLako. .
It is planned to raise $100,000 in subscriptions of .$100
each, half pavablc June 1 and the other half in .rune, 19.11.
The peoplo of Medford have subscribed $25,000, the bal
ance of Jackson count v is raising another $25,000. Lhe
people of the rest-of the state are asked to contribute the
remaining $50,000. Jackson county has appropriated
50 000. "
The highway is to be built under supervision of the
jgood roads section of the United States department of
i agriculture, whoso engineer, B. R Heidcl, is at prescht
at work witn a corps ot engineers on snnu!i um jail
mates. Contracts will be let as soon as estimates are com
pleted. The forestry bureau is co-operating, and is ex
pending a considerable sum in constructing the highway
through ike forest reserve. Secretary Ballinger of the
interior department has ordered a complete survey of the
park and engineers of the war department have been or
dered to map out a comprehensive system of highways
and improvements about the lake, which will call for the
expenditure in the immediate future of several millions
of dollars. To secure this appropriation, the park must
be made accessible, and it is to make the park accessible
that the people of Portland and other sections are asked to
ontribute to the building fund.
Crater Lake will prove one of Oregon's greatest re
sources. It will divert to Oregon the immense tourist
travel that California enjoys. It will be advertised by all
the railroads in the country and bring through the state
a desirable class of money spending toiu'iste, some of whom
will make their homes here.
The Medford Commercial club has appointed a com
mission of leading citizens of Medford to take charge of
the work of collecting the funds and building the highway.
Money will be paid out only on requisition signed by the
government engineer, who will also supervise the letting
of contracts. The funds will be deposited iu the four banks
of Medford, whose presidents form an advisory board for
the commission.
GOOD FRUIT PRICES IN PROSPECT.
The frost king has wiped out the entire fruit crop of
the central west. The upper Mississippi valley must look
to the Pacific coast for its fruit. Snow and ice and freezing
weather has entirely destroyed fruit prospects in six states
and partially destroyed them in fifteen more.
March was unusually warm in the east, as were the first
two weeks of April, and crops were a month in advance of
the normal season. A blizzard Sunday spread from the
Rockv mountains to the Atlantic coast and Gulf coast,
blighting the yield and permanently crippling young trees.
Even the shade trees are seared and brown, 'while vines
are killed to the roots. Ten inches of snow fell throucrh-
out the Ohio valley, and as far north as Arkansas the frost
spelled ruin.
The east's loss is the Pacific coast's gain. Never have
apple and pear trees in the Rogue River valley been so
laden with fruit as. they are at present. Indications are
that the valley will ship double the quantity of fruit ship
ped a year ago, when it led all Oregon in output. Pear
trees are almost as heavily laden as in 1909, while the
apple yield will be far greater, and many young orchards
are coming into bearing. The destruction of the eastern
crop assures high prices, and high prices with a big yield
spells prosperity.
IHD1IW WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGOM
(From J. C. Walllng's History of Southern Oregon.) I
Tho principal tribes with whom
our history' has to deal were tho
Rogue Rivers, Shastas, klamaths,
Mbdocs and Urapquns. Among tho
first four are. found strong raco af
finities, and thoy spoke dialects of
the same lanpuagc. Their localities
adjoined, their intercommunication
was frequent, and in time of wnr
thoy often fought side by side. For
a detailed description of these sav
ages, 6eo Mr. Bancroft's work on
"Tho Native Races of the Pacific
Coast," wherein is embraced nn enor
mous quantity of information bear
ing upon tho subject. Tho four
tribes first mentioned abode in the
contiguous valleys of tho Rogue,
Klamath, Shasta and. Scott rivers
and their affluents, nnd in tho vi
cinity of Klamath, Tule, Clear and
Goose lakes. The country about tho
thrco latter belonged exclusively to
tho Modocs, whoso habitations wero
mainly in California. Tho noguo
River valley was occupied, previous
to the advent of the whites, by tho
powerful aud important tribes known
by tho name of the river. Branches
of the tribe, more or less corrupted
by intermiture with tho neighboring
Umpquas and others, lived on the
Illinois, Applegate, Big Butte and
other tributary streams, always pay
ing to tho head chief of the tribe tho
allegiance customary to tho aborig
inal headship.
Along the Klamath river and about
Klamath lake dwelt a strong tribe,
generally known as tho Klamaths.
The Shastas had their homo about
the base of tho great mountain of
that name. Theso four tribes, Appar
ently equally numerous and power-
ful, formed, with others, what Ban
croft has styled tho Klamath family.
"This family is in every way super
ior to the more southern tribes. In
physique and character thoy ap
proached more nearly to tho Indians
of Eastern Oregon than to tho de
graded and weak tribes of Central
California.
The Rogue river Indians wero nn
exception to the general rule of de
terioration on approaching tho const,
for in their case tho tendonriy to im
prove towardr tho north held good;
so that thoy wero in many respects
superior to those of the interior.
"The Klamath formerly wero tall,
well-made and muscular, with com
plexions varying from black to light
brown, according to their proximity
to largo bodies of water. Their faces
were large, oval and heavily molded,
with slightly prominent check bones;
noso well set and eyes keen and
bright. Tho women wore short and
sopietimes quito handsome, even in
a Caucasian sonso."
Powers, in tho Ovorlalnd Monthly,
wrote of the Klamaths: "Thoir stat
ure is a triflel less than Americans;
they have well-sized bodies, strong
and well knit. With their smooth
skins, oval faces, plump and bril
liant eyes, some of the young, maid
ens, barring tho tattooed skins,' have
a piquant and splolndid beauty."

Oliver Meetings
Growing Interest
A Splendid Service Was Mold at tho
Din Tabernacle Last Evening.
Dr. Oliver preached n very strong
sermon on "Prayer" Inst il);ht, hold-
iu honrors' attention during his
entire discourse, almost the same ns
n magnet would hold the particles of
steel.
The sermon dealt with family
prayer and showed most conclusive
ly that tho homes that maintained the
family altar wow tho ones which
wero tho moat loved and respected by
tho inmates.
Churches United,
Tho meetings seem to promise suc
cess because of tho fact that tho
churches aro united and stand firmly
hehiud Dr. Oliver. Union is strength,
and iu these inecttitiK the ministers
of the city of Medford and tho
church ucoplo as well seem to be one
solid phalanx and intend to work
faithfully together.
There seems to have been misuii
derstnndincs and trouble in Ashland,
owing to tho fact that tho ministers
did not hold together.
Dr. Oliver became convinced that
Rev. Berry wos not only a traitor to
tho cnuso of Christianity, but was
ptisilyting throughout tho meetings,
thereby repudiating his plcdgo and
tho contract which tho pastors sign
ed in order to get Oliver to conduct
the meetings. Berry was denounced
publicly by Oliver and now ho is try
ing t( hurt Oliver by writing mis
leading and slanderous articles for
the Oregonian unworthy to be, no
ticed by dceont peoplo.
Below is the official call blank
which the ministers of Ashland and
fedford signed, voluntarily, and
which Berry went bnck on because
he is trving to serve two masters
and has no sense of honor or right :

A Sketch Kutltlcri "The Mnn tutil HI

"The Man hud His Methods," a
sketch by Rev. II. Gordon Bond, D,
Df. Litt. D.
Piohuhly' never iu the history of
nny slate have so many great reviv
als boon conducted by one evangolit
ns have been conducted by Rev.
French F,. Oliver, D. D.. hi the stnte
of Kansas. His work in the slate
began almost eight years ago iu Cot
tonwood Falls, and although scores
of meetings have been held in Kansas
since that time by Dr. Oliver, as well
as in other states, all hav. been
crowned with absolute success. While
other evangelists have had great de
nominations back of their meetings,
using nil their official machinery to
seouro dates for their workers, Evan
gelist Oliver hns conducted strictly
non-sectarian union meetings without
nny alliance with any combination of
dcnominntioiinliMii or other evange
lists. I hnvo known Dr. Oliver for about
sovon years, and I have been iu close
and personal touch with him a con
siderable pnrt of that time, and can
therefore describe him and his work
ns a preacher, evangelist and lec
turer from an insight into his char
notor, gained from years of personal
ncQiinintnuce. Having been pastor nt
different points whore ho has con
ducted great union revival campaigns
with phonomenal results, I have had
tho opportunity of nuuMyzing the man
and his methods.
Dr. Oliver is n man of most strik
ing personality -toworing like n
giant, head and shoulders above tho
avorago mnn, standing six foot four
inches in height, with broad shoul
ders, ns strnicht as an Indian: his
body well-knit and full of muscles,
nerves and vinhty, a classical fnoo
firm jaws, lips that close like a vise,
a chin that denotes strength of will
and finnnoss of character; n head
that w.ould answer for a Grecian
model and eyes that aro stool gray-
piercing and searching tho souls of

People of refinement; people with menus; retired business men; professional men;
college nnd university graduates, are coming to the Rogue River Valley by the score.
Within tho past two years almost a hundred Chicago nnd Evnuston, Illinois, peoplo have
purchased homes near Medofrd, and nearly every ono of them hns a friend or two
whom they hope to induce to come nnd locate in the valley.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston and many other eastern cities aro almost if not
quite as well represented, while St. Paul nnd Minneapolis have more representatives
here than any other several cities combined.
Think these statements over nnd get your thinker going. Write to tho undersigned
or the Medford Commercial Club for dotnilcd informtaion about tho country, and you
will "never have cause to regret it. ' ' 4 .
Most of the producing orchards have been hold in largo holdings until recently.
9 few weeks ago tho Eden Valloy Oi'chard, containing G05 acres, wns placed on tho
market in any desired acreage. Wo havo been authorized to offer tho bearing apples
and peal's for sale, and if you know anything about this country and want a 'dcsirublo
block of bearing trees, write or come soon. During tho past week ovor $150,000
worh of the property has been disposed of. It is located within two miles of Medford
at an elevation of about 100 feet above tho city and is ono of tho best kept orchards in
the world. Parts of tho orchard offered for sale hnvo pnid tho owner ovor $600 por
ncro per yenr for four years straight.
Do not come unless you aro prepared to stay, for just so suro as you do come tho com
bination of fat soil, grandeur of scenic beauty and Italian climato will steal you, body
and soul. After ono visit hero you will bo misornblo nny other plnco on oarth.
John D.
quality of his mind ami soul - God
has been very generous to him in
giving him a Niiporli mental power
house, and tho mental machinery Iuih
boon no well put together and is con
trolled with such consummate skill
that he opens to his hearers tho lit
erature, history, soionue, biography,
philosophy, theology, pootrty and art
of all lauds with the case of tho groat
master that he is. As a lecturer Dr.
Oliver has few peers and no super
iors on the Acmricau platform today,
It has been my privilege to listen to
some of the greatest preachers and
lecturers of our times, and as teach
er of oratory, I know something of
oratory and dramatic art. 1 there
fore "think he takes rank easily with
any and all of the great pulpit and
platform orators of tho country, lie
is a' complete master of tho Kuglidi
language, possessing a vocabulary
that is Shakespearean in its scope
but his messages do not run all to
words, as is tho case with so many
pulpit and platform celebrities; they
are replete with thought and are de
livered with a power and energy and
force of will that carries conviction
to the most obstinate mind. His
stylo Is nt onoo ontehy, original and
pleasing. He is blost with a voice
that can bo hoard iu the largest au
ditoriums; a voice that Is deep, rich
and ringing; a voice that appeals to
you and wins you; a voice that often
has tears in it; a voice that plays
on the heartstrings of his auditors;
a voice thnt sometimes crashes like
mighty artillery ns ho hurls his
crashing thunderbolts of- truth
against sin and unrighteousness.
It hns been my observation that
tho results of tho great meetings con
ducted by Evangelist Oliver aro to
the greatest degree permanut in thoir
of foots on tho life of tho community
iu which thoy are hold; uew uhurcli
buildings and Y. M. C. A. buildings
mark tho trail of Dr. Oliver in many
states. Thoro is always n genornl
cleaning up along tho lines of social
purity and temperance; nnd always
a fumigation of municipal affairs
when thoy need attention. Hi'h plan
of campaign is a fight to a finish
against nil forms of evil; no com.
promise is offered to evil-doers. The
Gospel ho preaches is not n veneer,
but tho gospel of regeneration.
The following list of meetings in
clude records of nicotines which
have broken all world's records, for
in some instances more peoplo were
converted than is represented in (ho
population of tho town in which tho
meeting was lipid. Tho list, however,
only represents a small er cent jf
tho Oliver meetings:
