ALBANY'S CRISIS.
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.

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

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

illness is tho cause of deep anxiety
among his many friends.
Miss Eva Norcross of this city
closed her school at Eola, near Sa

few days with girl friends in Salem.
She will also visit Dallas and Port
land before returning home.
Mrs. Rebekah Moore goes today to

M. E. Smith, a wholesale dry goods

Wednesday interviewing our local

Central Point had a potato famine
on Wednesday, but tho market was

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

As somo protended to have fore

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.

Lieutenant lrviu of the regular
army was kidnaped by two nuvngin

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. The
accounts of two of theso, tho dofonse
of Bnttlo Rook at Port Orford, and
tho memorable T'Vault-Williuins ex
ploring expedition, will bo found in
