HILL of tho Grout Northern railroad was given an auto rido of 90 miles through tho Rogue River valley. He saw enough of it to convince him that it was tho richest valley in tho world. Yet he only saw a portion. Ho could keep an auto going for a week and then not sco all tho valloy. Only a small part of the valley is developed on account principally of lack of people, lack of capital, lack of trans portation. Groat opportunities aro presented for profit to the promoters of various enterprises. No section of fcrs more, for most of the natural resources aro in a virgin state. Although the placers of southern Oregon have pro duced a hundred million dollars in gold, mining is still in its infancy. The ground has only been scratched. Vast forests of timber await tho manufacturer. The Pacific & Eastern will furnish tho necessary transporta tion that will enable the manufacture of lumber upon a large scale, and if the owner's of forest land do not take advantage of it, taxes on timber should be increased to a point that will compel them to cither sell to those who will, or begin development themselves. Mineral of all kinds abounds in tho hills. Not a tithe of the mineral wealth has been located. Thousands of acres of the finest fruit laud in the world are either farm ed in a desultory way or covered with brush, when they should be devoted to horticulture. All of these form a basis for an ever increasing population. The proposed interurban electric road will make profit able fruit raising on a basis ten times as large as at pres ent. It will mean the development of other resources now dormant, and result in the upbuilding of towns and coun try. Increased and improved transportation facilities mean more rapid settlement and opening of trade as well as a convenience to shipper, fruit grower and resident. So every city in the valley and every resident therein is interested in the construction of the interurban electric line a valuable feeder both to Hill and Harriman lines. The construction of the electric line only awaits the granting of a franchise in Ashland. The people of that city will vote upon it June 11. The entire valley is inter ested and awaiting the outcome, which means as much to the valley as it means to Ashland, in development and ra progress. Tom Taggar: has pledged his sup Tort to Governor Marshall for the democratic nomination in 1912. Poor Marshall! Prospect claims tho tail of the com et has been located near Crater Lake.

These Indians who had never broken out into hostilities, but had rather sitmlir.ed themselves by moderation and an oblh;iiMr disposi tion. Early in tho morning we set out (soldiers and civilians toKother) pro ceeding down tho river, and on Thursday morning crossed about seven miles from tho ferry.. Wo soon found an Indian trail leading up a largo creek, mid in a short liino overtook and charged upon a party of Indians, killing one. Tho rest made their esonpo in dense chaparral. Wo again pushed rapidly forward mid lato in tho evening attacked an other party of Indian?, taking twelve women and children and wounding several males who escaped. Hero wo camped, and next day scoured the country to ltoguo Hivcr, crossing it nt Table mountain and reaching enmp at dark. Tho Indians have been completely shipped in ovory fight. Some fifty of them havo boon killed, many wounded, and thirty taken prisoners. Major Kearney has been in tho sad dle for more than ten days, scour ing the country, ami pouncing upon the Indians wherever tlioy could bo found. Never has an Iudinii country been invaded with better success nor at a better time. The establishing of a garrison in this district will bo necessary for the preservation of peace. Hint done, a good agent lo cated here, wo shall havo no more trouble in this quarter. As for our prisoners, tho Major was anxious to turn them over to the people of Ore gon, to bo delivered to the superin tendent of Indian affairs; but no cit izens could bo found who woro will ing to tako charge of them. Con sequently bo determined to tako them to San Francisco mid send them from there to Oregon." A fow days later when tho troops and General Lane had reached tho diggings near .Yrekn, the General himself, having dotermined to return to Oregon, took chargo of tho prison ers aud delivered them to Governor Gaines, nt tho Rogue Hiver crossing (near rVanuoy's). The General closes his account by assigning due credit to different members of the expedition, ns Major Kearney, Captain Walker, of tho Rifles; Dr. Williamson, Lieutenant Irvin, Messrs.

As it is, it is probable that Medford leads the state in percentage of gain, having in creased from 1700 ten years ago, over 400 per cent gain, as against a 250 per cent gain for Salem and a 140 per dent gain for Portland. Medford probably ranks fifth in the list of Oregon cities, being exceeded only by Portland, Salem, Astoria and Eugene. Development of Oregon has been fastest along the Southern Pacific in the southern and western parts of the state. Ashland, Grants Pass, Roseburg, Al bany and Oregon City are all over the 5000 mark. Jackson county, not complete, shows 23,817, a decided disappointment, showing that very poor work has been done by the enumerators and that many people have been missed. In Medford and Ashland, the commercial clubs helped by seeing to it that those skipped were enlisted, which shows the advantage of organization, which country districts lack. However, Jackson county was given but 13,698 ten years ago, and the complete count ought to give it 27,000, an increase of 100 per cent, the entire gain having been secured in the past four years.
