US1NESS and commercial interests of Hertford de
mand that the litigation over the water supply end,
and that a compromise, if a reasonable one can be secured,
be made at once with H. 1 Hanley.
"Whether or not the city can force a right of way over
the Hanley property without another appeal is problem
atical. It is a poor lawyer that cannot obstruct and de
lay proceedings. Meanwhile, certain ruin of the city's
pipeline will follow delay in eomplelion. Wood pipe must
not bo allowed to dry out. The risk of destruction is too
great to take tho chances.
This paper opposed the Hanley hold-up as long as there
was no danger of loss by litigation, and a show of winning
in an unbiased court. But the city's defeat at the end of
a year's litigation puts another face on the situation. The
time has come to act when a man has the drop on you.
Every day's delay in the completion of the .system costs
Hertford a large sum in dollars and cents, and t works an
injury to the city. Humiliating as it is, we must make
the best of the situation. Sentimental reasons should not
be allowed to interfere.
' The city council, which is composed of business men
and worthy citizens, and not a "characterless bunch of
degenerate renegades," will find whatever action they
take toward arbitration and compromise backed up by
public opinion, which is. well nigh unanimous for speedy
settlement of the controversy.

NO MORE SALOONS WANTED.
Application has been made for another saloon on tho
West Side.
There is but one bar now west of the tracks and that is
in connection with a hotel.'
A majority of the people of that section do not want
another saloon located west of the tracks.
A majority of the people of Hedford do not want the
number of saloons increased on either side.
While Hedford 's saloons are well regulated and com
paratively orderly, there are too many of them for the
population. The fewer saloons, the higher the class, the
more orderly, and the easier to maintain order.
Saloon licenses should be increased to $1000 a year and
the number not increased except for hotels of 50 rooms and
over. ,
A bar is an essential to a first-class hotel. There will
be no objection to such institutions securing licenses.
There will, however, be a decided objection to increasing
the number of saloons.

PROFESSOR O'GARA TO LEAVE.
Professor O'Gara has been ordered to return to .Wash
ington July 1 by the department of agriculture. His de
parture will be a distinct loss to the valley. In the three,
years he has worked here all fruit diseases and pests have
been brought under control and the orchards thoroughly
cleaned up.
How well Professor O'Gara has done his work is shown
by the fact that such fatal tree diseases as fire blight,
which threatened once to destroy all the pear orchards,
has been brought under such effective control that not a !
single case has been discovered this season.
Professor O'Gara 's work has attracted national atten
tion. He had a hard fight in convincing some of the moss
backs of the necessit of combatting pests, of the bene
fit of heating orchards and of other action essential to
successful fruit raising. He leaves the cleanest orchards
in the country, the best informed orchardists and a district
which does not fear fruit pests nor frosts.
Fruit growers of the valley could afford to raise a fund
and keep Professor O'Gara, paying him a good salary to
take charge of the battle with orchard pests, securing his
exclusive services. They would be money ahead if they
did and let us hope they will.

IHDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON
(From J. C. Walling's History of Southern Oregon.)
Bancroft says: "When preserved
for winter use, tho fish wcro split
open on the back, tho bones taken
out and then dried or smoked. Both
meat and fish, when eaten fresh, aro
either broiled on hot stones or boiled
in water-tight baskets, into which
hot stones aro thrown to make tho
water boil. Bread is made of acorns
ground to flour in a stone mortar
with a heavy stone pestle and baked
in tho ashes, Acorn flour is the prin
cipal ingredient, but berries of vari
ous kinds aro usually mixed in, and
frequently seasoned with some high
flavored herb. A sort of pudding is
also made in tho same manner, but it
is boiled instoad of baked."
The Indians gathered a groat vari
ety of roots, borries and seeds, which
they made use of for food. Tho
principal root used was tho camaH,
great quantities of which wero col
lected and dried during buuuner and
stored for tho coming winter's pro
vision. This is a bulbous root much
like an onion, and is familiar to near
ly every old resident of Oregon. An
other root, called kice. or knee. wn
held in high esteem; it was bulbous,
about un inch long, of a bitterish
taste like ginseng. Tho iu-aro-pun,
or e-par root, was a prominent ar
ticle of diet and grew nbundantly
upon tho banks of tho Rogue and
other rivers. Thero woro several va
rieties of grass Bceds. tho huckle
berry, blackberry, salmonberry,
squawborry, manzanita borry and
peruap3 others, which entered into
the diet of tho Indian tronorallv. or :ih
governed by tho locality in which they
grow. At Klamath Lake tho pond

called wo-cus bv tho- savniros. formal

very fond. Tho women, as is invari

Within the past two years almost a hundred Chicago and IDvanston, Illinois, people have
purchased homes near Medofrd, and nearly every one of them has a friend or two

Bearing Orchards
Near Medford
Most of tho producing orchards have been hold in largo holdings until recently.
9 few weeks ago tho .Eden Valley Orchard, containing GOG acres, was placed on tho

at an elevation of about 100 foot above tho city and is ono of tho b'est kept orchards in
the world. Parts of tho orchard offered for salo have paid tho owner ovor $000 per
acre per year for four years straight.
