"The Itogue Hivrr valley is a
wonderful one and Med lord has
the nicest people, the highest

president, in an Interview In front
of the Hotel Medford this morning
while awaitiiii; the departure of his

if wes- caravan for the south. In a more
follow-j formal Interview at the llig Kock
several lodge this morning he discussed
(affairs In general,
werej In his tribute to .Medford and
the valley, Mr, Hoover spoke large
ly from first ha ml knowledge, as
ibis was his tenth visit to Medford
and the valley In the course of
years.
This wait In front of the hotel
partook of the nature of an Infor
mal reception as quite a number of
i citizens came forward to shake
bands with the genial presidential
and he also shook handH with
I'his morning. Fishing was his main
local topic of conversation, in tiddi-
'Hon to the scenic heaulleH of the
f t lip thru the Kedwoods.
"The fish." snld Mr. Hoover,
1 "did not treat me well this time
M-ke they nave during other trips I
have' had to ihls stream, which
visited tho last time twit yearn ago,
but good luck cannot be expected
to continue always. I have been
to Ihe Klamath river before and I
rather expect to do better there.
"1 like thin country," he conlin-
! ued, "and I have not experienced
! or suffered from the heat which I
! henrd to he prevalent here. The
(sunshine is remarkable, giving the
'earth Just the right warmth."
At the breakfast table, Mr.
j Hoover spoke at random of various
