In unity thero is strength, also money, as fruitgrowers long since found out. The comet and its tail are again "visible like a searchlight across the heavens. Not even a woman's club can nake as much noise as Medford boosters when aroused. Was thero ever a president so good -natured and easy-going as Taft who 'butts into so much trouble?

The assembly is building up a new tnachino but it's like a one-lung aute: Runs one day and is in the .repair shop six. tal United States was reported for 1J)06, according to the United States census of religious bodies for the same year, as detailed in the Uuitcd tSates census bureau's special report on the subject, now in press. Of this grand total the various Protestant bodies reported 20,2S7,742 and the Roman Catholic church 12,679,142. For purposes of comparison, the census authorities di vided the. principal cities into four classes, those having in 1900 a population of 300,000 and over constituting the first class, those of from 100,000 to 300.000 forming the sccoud, those of from 50,000 to 100,000 making tho third, and those of from 25,000 to 50,000 forming the fourth class. Of the Protestant aggregate there were 1,478,145 or 7.3 per cent in the first class cities, 4.7 per cent in the sec ond, and 7.4 per cent in the third and fourth classes com bined, while S0.6 per cent were outside the principal cities. Of the Roman Catholic church's total membership there were 3,375,453 or 27.9 per cent in first class cities, 1,361,- 132 or 11.3 per cent in the second, 1,570,944 or 13 per cent in the third and fourth classes combined, with 5,771,613 or 47.8 per cent outside the principal cities. It is seen, therefore, that the number of members of the Roman Catholic church reported in cities of the first class was considerably more than double the number re ported by all the Protestant bodies, while outside of the principal cities the number reported by the Catholics was only a little over one-third of the number credited to the Protestants. It is pointed out in the report that the strength of the Protestant bodies, as compared with the Roman Catholic church, is greatly understated. Only two of the Protestant bodies reported a majority of their membership in the principal cities, i. e., the Church of Christ, Scientist, 82.6 per cent, and the Protestant Epis copal church, 51.2 per cent, while of the membership of the Jewish congregations 88.7 per cent are in the principal cities, and of the Eastern Orthodox churches 70.7 per cent. Of the total number of communicants or members re ported for the principal cities by all denominations, 6,307,- 529 or 60 per cent belonged to the Roman Catholic church, and 3,935,341 or 37.4 per cent to Protestant bodies. Comparison with the report for 1890 shows that in gen eral there has been an increase in the proportion of commu nicants or members in the principal cities as compared with those outside of these cities. In 1906 the percentage of the total number of communicants in these cities for all denominations was 31.9 as compared with 25.7 in 1890. Of the total number, 10,511,178, of communicants or members in the principal cities in 1906, there were 7,343, 403 or 69.9 per cent reported by the 38 cities of over 100,- 000 population, and of these 2,432,630 or 33.1 per cent be longed to Protestant bodies and 4,736,535 or 64.5 per cent to the Roman Catholic church. The latter denomination had in these cities about 75.1 per cent of its entire mem bership in cities of over 25,000 inhabitants. situated at Home little dUtnnuo uwuy. Suspecting troaohory, tho Indians refused to go, although Joo, lliuir peace chief, tried to persuade them to do so. Sum, his brother, had re cently returned to tho raneheria for safety. At this moment John Galviu, ouo of Steel's Yrokans, nidoly pushed the muzzle of his rifle against an Indian's naked back, desiring him lo move toward tho eabin. Tho savage made a natural motion to resent tho indignity, when Guhiu shot him dead. Fighting immediately took plaeo. Tho dismayed and over matched Indians got behind trees or sprung into the river and all wan confusion. Those of the savages who were on tho north side began firing, but without effect, and hostil ities only ceased when 13 Indians had been killed. No white men were in jured. Old Joo, tho peace chief, clasped his arms about Martin An uell mid clung desperately to him for protection. Ho was saved from hi impending fnto by Angel! and two or three others, who kept off tho ox cited throng of white". Fighting ceased, and arrangements were made for tho morrow's opera tion. Steele, with his Yrokans, agreed to move up tho river to a certain point, cross tho stream at Hailoy's ferry and eomo down on tho north bank to tho vicinity of the rauclioria. A detachment of Lamerick's com pany, embracing mainly tho settlors who had proffered their services, was appointed to go down tho river, cross and gain tho top of uppor Tn blo Rock, whonco thoy could com mand tho vicinitv.

Waiting's History of Southern Oregon.) 'Roseburg citizens have subscribed for half tho paving bond issue a jood example in patriotism faith in -jJtheir own city and its future. No money for postal routes, but -"millions for now warships. The one benefits tho peoplo nnd tho other tho steel and shipbuilding trusts. President Taft's many trips cost money, nnd ho thinks those he in vited to ride in his private car ought to vote tho nation's money to pay for them. Alcohol is blamed for a multitude 'of ills but tho blumo is duo mostly to weakness of character shown by tho victim. A royal Bengal tiger cub in the Uew York Zoo has found a fond fos.- ter-mother in a Newfoundland dog. 'Let us hopo the tiger does not eat feer later. 'The odes of both Kipling and Aus tin, on tho death of King Edward aro extremely mediocre in character and unworthy tho name of poetry. In spiration was strangely lacking. Tn spite of tho threatened removal of the townBite, surveyors are busy staking out 25-foot lots in additions to the present town of Eagle Point, and then thero will be two Eagle .Points. 'Tho old livery stable at Central Point is to be torn down to pake -way for n threo-story cement struc ture. Contrnl Point is growing ns rapidly ns any place of its size in Jbnerioa. Old Tolo, Tyee John of Scott val ley, and Tyee Jim offered themselve i as hostages to sccura the white-, against tho Shastas, anu accompan ied Elijah Steele to Yreka, where the real culprits were supposed to have fled. All were convinced that the Shastas had nothing to do with the murder, and that it was most prob ably committed by Rogue River In dians, who, it was said, had been seen in the vicinity nnd who had now gone north to join Tipsu Tyee, or tho bands on tho river near Table Rock. There was a great deal of excitement at Yreka concerning the matter, and the court of sessions au thorized Steele to apprehend the sus pected parties, it not being supposed that much time or travel would bo necessary to enable him to comply. The undertaking, however, proved an arduous one. and Steele and his 11 companions, who included John Qalvin, Peter Snellbaok, James Bruce (aftenvards major in tho war of 1855-50), Frank Morritt, John Mc Leod, Dr. L. S. Thompson, Jnmcs White, the two hostages and a Klick itat Indian named Bill, rode to Rogue river in tho search, taking two In dians captive on tho way. Tho first of these attempted to escape, but was shot by Klickitat, who was do tailed to pursue him. Tho dead man had been sent out, it was concluded, to persuade the Shastas to join Sam's band in a proposed war against tho whites. The other pris oner was well mountod and armed and proved to bo a son of Tipsu Tyee, tho enigmatical chief who dwelt in tho Siskiyous. Ilim they took along, and hearing that there was a prospect of finding thoir ref ugees nt tho general enenmpment of the Rogue Rivers, kept on to that stream. Farther along thoy mot Judge A. A. Skinner, the Indian agent, and by him were requested to enmp at Big Bend, where ho had or-' ranged for a conference of whites mid Indians on tho morrow. Certain grievances had arisen be tween tho Indians and whites which nt this distant day cannot be fully mado out. Chief among these griev ances, it was said, was tho desire of "Young Sam," son of Tyee Sam, tho principal war chief, to possess tho hand and heart of littlo Miss Am brose, daughter of Dr. Ambrose, af terwards Indian agent, and who, liv ing with him family on an agricul tural claim adjoining T'Vault's nt tho Dardanelles. But this is doubt less a mistake, as tho writer is in formed that tho young lady in ques tion had not vet reached two years of ago. The cause was a more triv ial one, it is said, and coneerned" only a piece of beef. Tho settlers near by, alurnted for tho safety of themselves nad fam ilies, applied to tho people of Jack sonville for assistance, nnd a com pany numboring some 28 or 30, all young men, under tho command of J. K. Lamorick, of after celebrity, proceeded instantly to thoir assist ance, arriving on Big Bend, in front of and across tho river from tho Indian raneheria, a short time pre vious to Steel's arrival. Besides tho companies of Lamorick and Steele, quite a number of neighboring set tlers had gathorod thore, anxious to sco tho result of tho proceedings, and these being armed, attached them selves to Lamerick's, company in or der to assist in tho expected engage ment. Tho whole of Joe and Sam's Indians were nt tho raneheria, and considerable coaxing was necessary to bring them to talk with tho whites. Some crossed over nnd tho rest, em boldened by Judge Skinner's prom ises, also came to tho number of u hundred or moro.
