THANKS ARE DUE.
TIIE thanks of the community aro duo to Mr. llnwloy
for his good work in scouring for Medford, as far as
tho house of representatives is concerned, an appropria
tion of $.110,000 for the purchase of a site and the erection
of a federal building in this city. v
Mr. llnwloy has been censured heavily in the past for
his evident neglect of this section of his district. And this
censure was not unwarranted, for previous to his label's
on behalf of the fruitgrowers last winter to defeat the La
fean bill he had indeed done but little for us. However,
since his visit here last fall he has been taking a greater
interest in the Rogue River valley, until now he has suc
ceeded in getting through the house an appropriation for
a federal building here.
Mr. Ilawley has made a good start, and we are grateful
but let him remember that we want a few other things
an appropriation for the world's greatest natural wonder
and a weather bureau for instance.

THE UNWELCOME GUEST CLUB.
TT USED to be the Ananias club. Now it is the Associa-
tion of Unwelcome Guests that has been called into
being by the White House.
Nobody really realized how the Unwelcome Guest club
had been quetly growing until the late unpleasantness suf
fered by Representative Francis Burton Harrison. Since
that time statemen with a thoughtful turn of mind have
been cataloguing several eitizens who came in as charter
members, so to speak.
First of all, of course, there is Gifford Piuchot. He
used to be the most welcome of the welcome visitors back
in the Roosev.elt regime, but times have changed since the
former forester lined up against Secretary Ballinger and
the "White House now sees him no more.
Representative John A. Martin of Colorado (democrat)
feels that he is persona non grata there, too. Martin hasn't
been on pleasant terms with the administration since he
began fulminating against Attorney General Wickersham
on the sale of the Philippine friar lands.
Representative nenry T. Rainey of Illinois (democrat)
is particularly under the presidential ban for his utter
ances along the same Hues against not only Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, but Henry W. Taft, the president's
brother, as well.
Delegate Wickersham of Alaska charged that the Gug
genheims controlled the removal and appointment of fed
eral officials in Alaska. Result: His relations with the
White House are strained.
And now comes Francis Burton Harrison of New York
(democrat), who drew a full fledged membership through
his charge in connection with the xredatiug of the summary
by the attorney general of the Glavis charges.
SPIRITUAL CARE FOR ALIENS.
Nat Goodwin's fourth wife and
himself are ubout to separate. Ho is
said to be on the trail of u fifth one.
It must be very annoying to Actor
Goodwin that he has to go to the
trouble of getting a divorce every
time he wants to get married.
Sugar trust officials who are trying
to bite a large chunk out of their
doubtful past and to chew It up and
Bwallow It when no one Is looking
wonder If there Is no way to sweeten
the court or to tamper with the scales
of Justice, as they did with the gov
ernment ccales.
President Taft and the regulars
who are about to lead out the lame,
spavined, string-halted rad wlther
wrung Aldrlch tariff and 'point to It
with pride ze the Issue that will make
the voters dance for Joy In the fall
campaign have probably noted a boat
man gliding along In the still water
above Niagara and have imagined
that happy days wero Just ahead for
the voyager.
The forces of nature seem to have
a grudge uguiust Italy. One of the
fairest lands undor the sun, whoso
blue skies, temperate climate, fertile
soil and delightful scenery make it
a paradise for human habitation,
seems threatened all tho time with
dangers to muke it uninhabitable, as
if tho gods had chosen it for them
6clvcs and wore jcnlous of the in
trusion of mortal man. Earthquake
after earthquako shakes the fuir do
main. Truly Itnly is evenly blessed
and cursed, The gods both smile and
frown, and man is in turn invited and
repelled.
NCLE SAM'S alien population ought to be well cared
for spiritually, according to statistics included in a
report issued the other day by the census bureau.
Figures for 1906 show that while there were 181,393 re
ligious organizations, with a membership of 23,648,267,
who worshiped in English, there were likewise 7906 organ
izations, attended by 3,371,628 members, who heard relig
ious services in English and foreign tongues mixed, and
16,688 organizations, with a membership of 5,022,601, who
worshiped at services entirely in foreign tongues.
Of the churches reporting the use of a foreign tongue
exclusively the Lutheran bodies lead, with 7242 churches
with 3f 227,981 members. The Roman Catholic is next with
2176 organizations attended by 3,064,436 communicants.
The number of known languages "reported is 4.4 The
list includes Arabic, Armenian, Chinese, Esthonian, Gaelic,
Modern Syriac, Lettish, Monenegrin, Wendish and Yid
dish, in addition to the better known European languages.
Strangest of all, however, are the lingual combinations
reported. Some churches conduct services in such hetero
geneous mixtures as German, Italian, Scandinavian and
English, or Chinese-Greek-Magyar-Polish-Slovak-English,
or Armenian-Chinese-Hebrew-Italian-English.
In respect to foreign membership, Germany leads the
list with bjr far the most church members. German speak
ing people have 77 denominations, attended by 3,601,943
people. Next in number of denominations comes the 25
organizations conducted in the tongue of American In
dians; then, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, French and Ital
ian. The list is different when it comes to classification
by the number of communicants, France coining next aft
er Germany, then Italian and Polish.
We now know why seedy Euro
pean counts, dukoo and lords have
been able to marry Amerlcau girls. It
la because the dear creatures couldn't
get American husbands. Ono of them
who w&a about to marry an English
Icrd had a narrow escape tho other
day when an old Indiana sweetheart
camo along and carried her off, Be
fore giving up all hope and resigned

I INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON
(From J. C. Waiting's History of Southern Oregon.)
John R. Harding, of Harding, and
William R. Rose, of Lamerick's com
pany woro killed on August tonth,
near Willows Spring, The two, with
ono or more companions, were on
detached aorvlco, or according to
other accounts, woro proceeding to
Jacksonville, whon having reached a
point ono nillo north of tho springs,
thoy were fired on by the Indians
concealod near tho road, and Rouo
was killed, and Harding was shot
through tho hips, He escaped, as
did tho others, but died on August
14, some accounts relato that he
died In olovon hours, Rose's body
falling by tho way-side, was stripped
and mutilated, tho throat cut and an
oyo out; six hundred dollars was upon
tho horse also.
Other Incidents of tho eventful
period preceding I.anu'a campaign of
August 21-3G, woro the capture and
Bhuotlng of i 8Uspocti.nl Indian by
Angus llrowu, tho bunging of an In
dian in tho town of Jacksonville, and
other acts ot that nature, which re
flect no credit upon those tmgugod
therein. That oloni-vlsago war had
wrought up people to doods of thin
sort, is not very romurknblo. Klvo
Indians It is credible reported,
woro hnngod In ono day, on n troo
which stood near David Linn's re
sidence. On August 14, a Mr. Kttllngor was
dispatched north with letters to tho
govornor of Orogon and to other par
tlos.sottlng forth tho conditions of
affairs and soliciting aid to prono
cuto tho war. General Uano heard
tho nows when at his homo on Doer
creek nnd Instantly sot nbout rais
ing volunteers. Kitty men Joined
his party, nnd with these ho rapidly
sot out for tho Hceno ot hostilities.
On arriving at Camp Stewart ho
found tho main part of tho troops
there, togothor with Captlnn Aldon
and his regulars. Tho command of all
was tondered to tho Oeneral by
Captlan Alden and by him accepted.
Preparations for moving on tho ene
my had been made, and an active
campaign wna resolved upon.
On or about tho fltteonth, a de
tachment undor tho command ot
Hardy Elllff, was Bont to tho roar of
tho enemy's position bohind Table
Rock, In order to provoko an en
gagement; but their position had
been evacuated, and tho hoatilos had
wlthdiawn. On August sixteenth a
detachment ot Qoodall's company
was sent out, under the command ot
Lieutenant E. Ely, with Uio design
ot discovering the onomy's where
abouts. So well did they perform
their duty, that upon arriving at
Little Meadow, on Evan's or Dear
creek, they ran upon tho savages,
and lost several men in ono ot tho
fiercest skirmishes that has been
known in the annals of Indian war
fare. Tho scene ot tho collision was
somo two miles northwest of Tabic
Rock, and about the snmo' distance
from the mouth ot tho stream where
it flows In Roguo river at tho vill
age now known as Woodvlllo.
It was on tho 17th of August; tho
men had picketed their horses In tho
flat and Bat down to enjoy dinner;
sentries woro stationed, but soon left
their posts and gathered with tho rest
around tho ctnokln" viands. Just at
this blissful moment thoro camo a
volley of bullets from a frlngo of wil
lows closo by that killed and wound
ed ten of their number. Leaving
their horses, thoy rushed to cover
2G0 yards away, and gaining n strong
position In the brush and amid fallen
trees, they kopt tho savngos at bay.
They fought tho enemy In true Indian
style, from behind tho protection of
trees nnd rocks, and probably In
flicted coualde.-ablo injury. Privates
Terrell and McGonlgio set out for
1 elp, and boforo tho enemy had com-
plotoly surrounded them got away and
br.stened to Camp Stewart who-o
OoodaU'a corcpany was stationed, and
reported that thoy had fo'intf tho In
dians, and that ton men with Lieu
tenant Ely woro in a precarious situ
ation 17 mlloa off nnd tho Indians
lil-avBollnr.
Goodall and his nion sot out at top
speed, and In tho shortest'practlcablo
time arrived on tho flld. J. D. Carly
and flvo othora were in tho ndvanco,
and when tho Indians saw them thoy
decamped, at onco, carrying away 18
horses, blankots, etc.
From tho 8th to tho ICth of August
movements wero made with a view of
ascertain lug tho savages' whoreabouts
and the vicinity of Tablo Rock was
reconnoltorcd, whon It was found that
f'oy had nlandoncrt their position and
retired to tho northwest. Their trail
showed that they kwero in great force
End nearly tho whole trlbo woro to
gothor. Thoy had sent out tholr scouti
and up to this time knew ovory movo
of the whites. They declared them
selves satisfied to await tho decision
of warfaro, and that thoy would fight
until ovory whlto man was driven
from tho vnllej. Such bold, doflant
talk naturally produced a great of
foct upon tho whltos, who woro Im
bued with a nonso of tho fighting
qualities of tho Indians, and added
to tho anxloty of many for tholr fam
ilies Increased tho feollng of appro
honslon throughout tho valloy. This
fooling was heightened by '
of an engagement, the first of tho
war, between a party of whltos undor
Lieutenant Rurrell B. Orlffln of Mil
ler's company and a party of In
dians under tho rodoubtnblo old John.
This fight occurred on tho 12th of Au
gust on Applegate crook near tho
mouth of Wllllr.mB crook (subsequent
ly so namod). Tho Jltutonnnt, with
sorno 20 men, had reached tho main
Applegate at tho mouth of Llttlo Ap
peogaeo, and proceeding thenco to
Storllng creek dostroyod an Indian
village Somo little reststnnco was
oxporlonced nnd Prlvato Qeorgo An

"HELLO BILL" PROVES
A GREAT SUCCESS
Critic Well Pleased With tho Wny
They Hnmllcil Force Mr. Athon
Can Go Some ns Comcillnn.
"Hollo Rill" was tho piny lust
night. Tho Athon Stock company
made their bow In comedy boforo
tho Medford audience. Comedy Is n
very serious business. Ono may at
tempt trngody or pathos and mnko tho
people hollovo thnt thoy are really
something superior If tho nudtouco
could understand It. Rut when It
comes to comedy, ovory man knows
whether or not ho Is getting his mon
ey's Nvorth. Thero la no nmke-bollovo
for tho comedian. Ho la either funny
or ho Is not.
Well, tho Athon Stock company
woro a docldod success, ao wo can
sny that they hnvo boon tried In tho
dlfforont Btylcs of ontortnlnmont and
found thoroughly satisfactory.
Mr. Athon played tho part around
which tho all tho trouble contorod,
nnd ho kopt tho audlouco laughing
from tho rlso of tho curtain to tho
finish. Mr. Howard did not hnvo a
b'g part last night, but showed him
self to bo nn artist. Robert Hayes
was much bettor laat night than we
have soon him In provlous plnyo, vory
good Indcod as tho dignified gentle
man. Arthur Nealo ns Dr. Hastings
Is an all right actor, It la tho first
part ot any promlnonco that ho has
appearod In.
As to tho Indies, thoy nro all well
suited In tholr parts. Miss Dorothy
Davis a a first-class character wom
an and Is really funny. Miss Qroy In
tho part ot Isabolla Dnro wns thor
oughly good. Mlas Orey Is really n
versatile actress, rotlnod hnd Indy
like, and will grow upon hor nudl-
oncea. Miss Elwood was a now mom
bor of tho cast In last nlghtt's bill,
and alio was a surprise to all who
saw hor. Mlas Elwood Is vory taking
Llttlo Efflo Johnson Is a sweet llttlo
body whom It would bo Impoaulblo
to criticise, ovon If aho wero not nn
actress of ability, but she la a lady of
quite unusual talont. St.o Is still
young, having Just started In her ca
reer, and wo predict that aho will

Woll, Mr. Athon, you hnvo a good
