Albany faces a serious crisis in its business history, says tho Albany Herald, probablj tho most far-reaching in its consequences that has over confronted it. It is no more, no less, than tho certain loss of the Oregon Electric and tho Hill system of railways following as a consequence of the invoking of tho referendum by Albany citizons against tho franchise recently granted the Oregon Electric on Fifth street by the Albany city council. John F. Stevens, who is in chargo of the Hill lines in Oregon, has sent the following telegram to his agents and tho Albany Commercial club: "Advise citizens of Albany that if construction is de layed by referendum of franchise this company will not build line through Albany." There are so many opportunities awaiting capital that investors are not going to await the slow perception of mossbacks in Oregon towns. If the citizens cannot sec the benefit accruing from having interurban lines, there are many other places that can. The same holds true in the Rogue River valley. If Ash land wants an interurban trolley line, she has got to say so. The money is ready to build it, but if no franchise is forthcoming the money will go elsewhere, and there will be an indefinite wait before such a sum is offered by repu table people for investments in similar lines again.

CENTRAL POINT NEWSLETTER "Fighting" still continues in Nicar agua and nobody hurt. Now for a flying machine In action! Nothing Is too good for Medford. The annual crop of fish stories is beginning to drift in. Too bad some fellows have such short arms. The lawn feto in tho park Sat urday is next on tho program of the Creater Medford club. Chief Shearer says only one hobo Is left In tho city. That's one too many. Again Mother Nature has come to the aid of tho Rogue River valley with a few showers. "What good does It do to restock tho Rogue if tho fish can't come up stream after maturity? A celebration in 1920 is now pro posed to observe the opening of one of Medford's new hotels. Th Butte creek contest cases still drag their weary wayb but let us lope there will ho water enough to .so around. F. L. Findlay of Ashland was in towno n Tuesday. C. F. Shepherd and wife, also of Ashland, registered at the Central Point hotel. Dr. E. Davis has finished his two handsome bungalows and is moving his family and household effects into the larger of tho two. He expects to sell or rent the other one. Miss Josephine Houston of Trail is visituig with tnenus in Central Point for a few days. Will Hathaway is seriously ill at his father's home, west of town, with appendicitis. This being the second attack within two months, an operation is deemed necessary, and this will bo performed tomorrow (Thursday) by Drs. Anderson and Pollnitz. Will is a fine lad and his illness is tho cause of deep anxiety among his many friends. Miss Eva Norcross of this city closed her school at Eola, near Sa lem, last Friday and is spending a few days with girl friends in Salem. She will also visit Dallas and Port land before returning home. Mrs. Rebekah Moore goes today to Gold Hill to spend a little time with her son, a business man of Gold Hill. M. E. Smith, a wholesale dry goods dealer of Omaha, Neb., was in town Wednesday interviewing our local dealers. Central Point had a potato famine on Wednesday, but tho market was well stocked with everything else that was eatable and fresh, so nobody cared. Mrs. Robert Kyle and Mrs. Osa Garvin spent a part of Wednesday in Medford. Mrs. N". J. Paukey, who has been visiting relatives and friends in Portland, returned homo this evening. The beautiful display of roses and other flowering shrubs nnd vines, given by Mrs. Frank Hawk of this city, in a somewhat limited plot of ground, is noticed nnd admired by every passer-by, and plainly indi cates what enn bo done at a littlo outlay of time nnd taste. Her suc cess with flowers proved that in this climate they will grow almost spon tancously for thoso who love thom well enough to givo them a littlo care. W. H. Norcross has been appointed delegate to tho grand lodge of tho Masonio order, which meets in Port land June 14. 15, 16. Tho Grand Chapter, O. E. S., which convenes on tho snme date, and nlso in Port land, will bo represented by Mrs. I. C. Robnett of this city. Mrs. Rob nett is worthy mntron of the Central Point O. E. S. lodge. Robert nnd Elinor Pillsbury enter tained nine of 'their young friends last Monday afternoon, the occasion being tho 12th birthday of tho twin brother and sister. Thoto present were: Floyd and Elmer Kyle, Clifford Hatfield, Lola Freemnn, Mabel Jono. Sadie Beebe, Jack and Dorris Conley and Irlo Stewart. Tho tabernacle meetings continue with increasing interest, pcopto driv ing into town from many miles in tho country every evening to attend them. R. M. Danbury of Decatur, 111., is stopping for a few days at the homo of his sister, Mrs. Newton Ruymond. Ho is in Oregon for tho first timo since 1875, and is naturally aston ished nt tho changes that have takon place since then. J. 0. Isaacson nnd H. W. Lindsloy nre framing their muscles after banking hours through the medium of lown tennis. Mr. Isaacson, with tho nssistanco of Mr. Lindsley. is nlso cultivating fancy poultry on the side, and when tennis becomes too fntigue ing or the ball gets lost in the grass or something, they go in tho house and study poultry journals. As somo protended to have fore seen tho Gaines treaty proved an un mitigated failure. Hardly had tho governor sot his fnco toward tho val loy of tho Willamette than quarrels, misunderstanding ami serious dif ficulties broke out between tho red and whito ocoupauts of Hoguo River valley and neighboring localities. Tho ono race speedily grow 'insolent" nnd tho other began, as usual, reprisals. There were not wanting unprincipled men of both races, whoso dolight was to stir up war and contention, and ruffianly bands of either color pa raded tho country and a condition of terrorism provniled. Among tho Indians, it was said, woro soVeral whito men, who had ad opted Indian dress and manners, and these, if such existed, as there doubt less did, must have proved among tho worst enemies of ponce. Much com plaint of tho Indians began to bo rife very soon after tho treaty was sign ed, and tho Cow Creek Indians, al ways n pugnacious tribe, woro charg ed with tho commission of sovcrul outrages within two months of that event. Tho whites mining nt Big Bar and other places on tho Hoguo river, and industriously prospecting tho nu merous streams which flow into it, wero in constant danger. PRIZE-WINNING OLD MAN IS KILLED BY A TRAIN Another submarine disaster more costly in human life to navigate tho bottom of tho sea than to call in the air above. A plucky New York woman killed a burglar witha rolling pin. Perhaps she had h.'.d practice la its use at borne. Score ono for Agate. One of her bright young women took first place In a wisdom contest ovor 110 competitors. Judge Webster says Oregon looks eplck, span and clean. Thailc good ness, ho didn't seo some of Medford's back' yards. TProTessor O'Gara is appreciated in mother fields aside from tho Rogue River valley. Hood River, Roseburg, tMarysvlllo and Walla Walla aro all frantically wiring for him, Tho students at Cambridge perpe trated a "huge Joke" on Colonel Roosovolt. A giant "Teddy bear," with outstretched arms, was placed la the path of the colonel's party. Roosevelt laughed heartily when ho mv the boar and shook its paw vlo lastly. His appreciation of tho joke put him "ace high" with tho Btudonts. "Want to soil that slightly used Nothing? Want-advortlBo it intor-stlngly.

BIG STAMPEDE TO DAWSON Same Scenes That Marked Rush to Nome and Fairbanks Repeated to New Diggings Hundreds Are on the Way. ' DAWSON, Yukon, May 20. The steamer St. Michael, the first boat of tho year for Fairbanks and the Iditarod, is on its way down tho rivor today, marking the opening of tho stampedo from tho Yukon to tho now diggings.

Tho St. Michael is carrying 110 passengers and 200 tons of freight. Half of tho passengers arrived Sun day on tho steamers La Franco and Paulino, tho first boats from tho up per Yukon. Three hundred local people havo booked passage on tho next boat to tho Iditarod and scores moro aro wailing for an opportunity. Tho steamer Casca arrived yester day and proceeded to Eaglo with tho international boundary survey, com prising 05 mon and 100 horses, who will extend the lino botwoon Canada and Alaska from the Yukon to tho Arotic.

Lieutenant lrviu of the regular army was kidnaped by two nuvngin (Shastiut, probably) u:ul a French man, removed to tho trackless ond, tied to n tree and Htibiectcd to uiaiiy sorts of personal indignity, lie ow uaped, however, injured only in mind, but deeply convinced that tho local ity was too dangerous for a pleasant existence. This occurred in July. In GoiiHcuttouuo of this and other occurrences. General Hitchcouk, commanding tho Pacific department, dispatched a force of 20 regular troops from Vancouver and Astoria to Port Orford, a nowly locatod place on tho coast of Curry county, 110 miles north of tho mouth of the Roguo rivor, nnd then supposed to bo accessible from tho former seat of war near Tablo Rook. Subsequent explorations havu dispelled this idea and proved that the military, so far as their of loot upon tho malcontents of tho upper portion of Rnguo River valloy was coneorned, might ns well have been loft nt Vancouver. How ever, they woro well situated to awo tho hostiles who had broken out near er tho coast. Contemporaneously with tho events above mentioned had occurred on tho coast several inci dents of tho ureatcst celebrity.
