HpIIE fact that James T. Hill owns the Pacific & Kastern
and will develop Southern Oregon is one of the big
gest assets Medford could possibly have. Hill ownership
insures a second and shorter route to the east, and a second
outlet for the enormous fruit production of the Rogue
River Valley, which within a few veal's will roach astound
ing proportions.
jMa Kill is and always has been a developer of the,
country. When he invaded Central Washington it was
no more developed than Central Oregon is today. Thej
land was considered as worthless as the Central Oregon
plateau has been deemed. The Hill invasion means to Ore

the country, and the utilization of its natural resources, ;

to see the girl, and, like manv vouug men and for that
matter, old men, too he got drunk. He started back, butg
got tiiirst and went out into the toothills to look tor some
water, and he got lost and made his way finally back to j
his post. As the report of the adjutant-general says, he;
was absent a part of one day berond his leave of absence.
He was arrested as the proof shows and the recital of this
case is more like a romance or the account of some Russian companies and
