The sale Of two hundred and sixty
acre tract in the Rogue River Valley
during the past week for one hundred
aud sixty thousand ,dollars by Medford
parties is perhaps the greatest real
estate transaction ever made In the
valley and is bound to attract more
than casual attention Of investors In
other sections Of the country as well
as the state. Besides the enormity OF
the monetary consideration In this
transaction the careful observer will
naturally have keener appreciation
of the value Of the soil 10 this already
famous valley.and its great possibili-
ties. It will be seen that this land
sold for over six hundred dollars pei
acre, and when the extent Of the tract
is taken into consideration the sale
appears all the more coIlosal. How
ever, those familiar with what Rogue
River Valley SOIL will produce, the
price presents nothing Of the ficti
tious value.

LITTLE OLD NEW YORK.
Larger in Population Than Sixteen
 States and Territories.

From the National Magazine.
 Some one who is apt at figures has shown that New York city today is larger in population than 16 different states and territories, and further, that within a radius of 20 miles are living over 1000 900 people.
 The improved methods of transporta- ton. which are fast widening the limits of New York business energy, will soon embrace a radius of 50 miles, within which are located 2364 different towns and cit ies whose total population, with that of Greater New York is equal to fully one fifth of the population of the United States.
 When it is realized that the permanent increase in popula tion of New York last year was about 100000, city of the size of Cleveland, Ohio, some idea of the tre- mendous growth of the city can be ap- preciated One of the assurances of a continued and permanent growth is to be found in the 50,0O0 marriages that take place every year.
 Besides this perament increase, New York is entertaining an average of over 150AO0 transient visitors every day, and at some seasons when the hotel accom- modations are taxed to their utmost, fully 100000 people are chronicled in their home papers as spending a few days in New York on pleasure and business"

His Sacrifice,

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
 He was a good little boy, and very thoughtful. He had heard about the great scarcity of water throughout the country. He came to his mother and slipped his hand into hers.
 Mamma" he said, 'is 1t true that in some places the little boys and girls have scarcely enough water 70 drink?''
 '''rhat is what the papers say, my dear
 Mamma" he presently said 'I'd like to give up somethin for those poor little boys and girls"
 "Yes dear. And what would you like to give up?"
 Mamma" he said in his earnest way. .'as long as the water is so very very scarce, think I ought to give up bein' washed"

SOME FOOTBALL GOSSIP
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS.

The game in Birmingham Saturday be- tween Alabama and Georgia would never again result in a tie.
 Each of the aggregations had numerous opportunities to win, and such oppor- tunities could not knock again without receiving a warmer reception.
 In the first half, when Alabama made a countless number of fumbles, Georgia should have piled up enough points to in sure the victory. And Georgia would have dope so had not Woodruff relied to such an absurd extent on the accuracy of Hodgson's goal from placement.
 Four times Georgia threatened Ala bama's goal. At the first opportunity, straight forward tactics netted Georgia its only touchdown. Thrice thereafter, how ever, Hodgson from a position under Ala bama's goal. attempted to kick the ball through the posts. Each time he failed principally on account of Pratt breaking through Georgia's line and blocking the kick. Had Georgia, in three trials, en- deavored to cross Alabamas goal from such close proximity it stands to reason that success would have been encountered at one time at least.
 Never did team do such fumbllng and escape so lightly as Alabama.
 In the second half, however, Alabama. should have crossed Georgias goal twice at any rate. Twice, by long runs by Pratt and Reidy, Alabama touched Georgia S five-yard line. Each time three downs favored Alabama. Quarterback Peebles however, in each instance sent a play against Georgia's center. Such an attempt was expected and there was no surprise from the side lines when it failed es- pecially as Alabama, in this position, was forced to climb a hill IS inches high. Had Quarterback Peebles called for an end run landed on even ground, then sent his tackles in succession against Georgia S line on a tackle-over-tackl buck, it stands to reason that Alabama would have gained another touchdown at least.
 In the Princeton- Yale game history re- peated itself.

EVENTS OF COMING WEEK
 ARE OF LIVELY INTEREST

Foreign developments seem likely to rival, if they do not overshadow. domes- tic news during the coming week The extraordinary events of the past few days in Germany following the publication in London of an interview in which the German Emperor was quoted as discuss ing foreign affairs with marked absence of reserve; the drastic comments passed upon the interview in the German parlia- ment and the embarrassing position in which the whole affair has placed Chan cellor Von Buelow have added immensely to the interest of the world in the coming meeting between the Kaiser and the chan cellor It was to have taken place at Kiei Monday, but ostensibly on account of the death of Count Huelsen- -Haeseler has been postponed until later in the week.
 A crisis in the history of China, and especially in that of the Manchu dynasty, has come to head in the death of both the Emperor and the Dowager Empress. An hours shift of sentiment might precip- itate revolution and the unseating of the hated Manchu line of rulers. There are semi-official assurances from Tokio justi flying the belief that there will be no eff fort on Japan's part to make the emer- gency an occasion for aggression.
 Negotiations continue between the Eu ropean powers regarding the tangle in the Balkans. Meanwhile the strained rela- tions between Servia and Austria-Hun- gary afford the most explosive factor in the immediate foreground.
 Roman Catholics throughout the world participate in spirit and loyal interest, if not everywhere, in fact, in the cee

 saturady. at the conclusion of che first half, Princeton was safe by a 6 to O score. In the second half however, Yale scored two touchdowns and won the game.
 There were two other great games Sat urday.
 Harvard and Dartmouth fought out a , masterly battle At the conclusion of the first half the score was to O. Harvard won by a single touchdown. in the second half. this resulting from a fluke. Only in recent years Dartmouth has become great factor in eastern football and this season having defeated Princeton de- cisively in New York and halding Har- ward to a single touchdown Saturday, it has attracted and held the attention of the greatest experts.
 The other great game was that tie af- fair between Cornell and Chicago-a bat tie as fierce as any other fought this season.
 In the south Techs return to form after its awful A to drubbing by Auburn, caused much surprise. sewanee won from the crew of Heisman by single touchdown, and Sewanee. as is remembered lost to Auburn by score of only to O.
 Tennessee being unable to defeat Clem- son by but a single point-6 to 5-sur- prised. It is now a question as to whether or not Tennessee reached it's present state of development some days ago. and is now pursuing backward course. if this is true Alabama has ex- eellent chances to win on Thanksgiving Day.
 Since Ohio State administered such an overwhelming defeat to Vanderbilt ex- perts are led to believe that the Commo- dores are not near as formidable as in other days.
 Sewanee assuredly has no such team as wore the purple last season. and the win ner of the annual Thanksgiving battle between Vanderbilt and Sewanee is a toss-up.

socIALIsTIc PRODUCTION.
Can It Be Reconciled With Our Form
 of Government?
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
 Probably MT. Taft does not believe that competition in our great industries and in the handling of the peoples nec- essaries of life can ever be restored If this is his opinion his appointment of an attorney general and his choice of judges for the high courts of the land will not lean in the direction of destroying the trusts. Under Taft's presidency there will be no turning back from the policy to which the nation has steadily com mitted itself by permitting the great trade combinations to be formed and by refusing to attack them while they were approaching the enormous power they now command over the destines of the people.
 The New York Press believes that un- der the presidency of William Howard Taft the big question to be settled is whether the cooperative policy applied to this nation by the trusts and the indi- vidual form of government are consist ent. That the cooperative scheme as evolved by the monopolies is essentially socialistic in everything except distribu- tion of the profits, every student of the problem recognizes.
 Mir. Taft himself must see that this is true. How to preserve the basic princi- pie of socialism as applied to the machin- cry of production and still save the indi- vidualistic scheme is the huge problem to which the new president must address himself. It may be in his power to avert the extension of the socialistc principle to an experiment which vast majority of the American people still view with dread and alarm, but which is regarded by a steadily growing and steadfast mi nority as the inevitable solution.
 During the presidency of MT. Taft. so- cialism must either suffer serious check or go forward with increasir~ strides
