Medford makes a good showing in
the census, even if a lot of people
"were missed. They always are.
PRESIDENT LOUIS AY. 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.

Withered at Johnson's ranch ami
l'iroil upon whatever Indian tlioy
could find, ami making duo ponuuful
native of Scott valloy tho principal
victims. 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

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.
