COOK PASSED THROUGH.
Arctic Explorer Still Claims He
Found North Pole.

Frederick Cook, the Arctic explor-
er, passed through Ashland Friday
afternon en- route to Los Angeles.
When seen at the depot, after pass
ing the usual compliments to the
towr, he stated that he still expected
to back Peary's claims off the
boards. He said that he had proven
the efforts to discredit his climbing
of Mt. Mckinley to be the result of a
huge bribe and that he would also
prove Peary's claims false. He spoke
highly of Professor Amundsen, the
discoverer of the south pole, who
was mate on Belgian expedition to
the frozen regions on the ship on
which he went as surgeon. DR.. Cook
stated that after another trip or so
to the north regions he might return
to the Pacific coast to establish a
home.

WHAT THE INTERURBAN MEANS TO THE VALLEY
Construction Trolley Line Will Mark Commencement of Grea
Era Of Development Along Bear Creek

1t was not until the writer visited
that portion of the Bear creek val
ley lying on the north and east side
of the creek that he began. to fully
comprehend what the building of a
trolley line up that side of the valley
will mean, not only to the territory
tapped, but to the entire valley. 1t
is not alone in the fact that it will
permit easy access to the cities and
towns of the valley that it is valu-
able, but also in the savings to the
owners and occupants in the way of
handling their produce and supplies.
Take the Suncrest orchard, for in
stance. Last year with only 20 of
it's 460 acres of orchard in bearing,
and those only in their first year,
it bought its boxes by the carload.
Mr.. Meader, the manager, states that
it will take four men and two teams
at least two days to unload a car of
boxes and haul them to the packing
house in the orchard. Two men. he
states, could unload and truck in a
car in half a day If the car could be
set on sidetrack alongside the
packing house in the orchard. The
same is equally true about feed
shipped in, spray materials, and the

DISPLAYS IT'S IGNORANCE.
Klamath Northwestern Evidently
Knows Little of Oregon Men.

In an attack upon the proposed
state exhibit at Ashland the Klamath
Northwestern shows a lamentable ig-
nOrance of the men who have made
Oregon what it is when it refers to
Tom Richardson of Ashland" That
the Northwestern should not know
that Tom Richardson OF Portland is
one of the best known boosters in
the state, that he has been secretary
both of the Portland Commercial
Club adm of the Oregon DEVELOPMENT
League, and is now a prominent
booster of the Rose City. shows an
ignorance of the industrial history of
Oregon that is peculiar in a newspa-
per man. 1t may be, however, that
the Northwestern thought that it
could discount Mr. Richardson's in
fluence in the matter if il made it
appear that he was from Ashland
and locally interested. klamath is
worrying lest Ashland be on a side
track" in a few years. Ashland will
be growing steadily when klamath is
recovering from the slump it will re-
ceive when it comes to its senses.
Klamath is a good town, but it is
not destined to be q second Chicago.

shipment out of the packed fruit. 1t
is probable that the saving of eX-
pense to that one ranch would come
well into the hundreds of dollars per
year.
This is but one of the many ranch
es which are becoming developed on
that side of Bear creek.
Another valuable asset of a trolley
line is that it will without a doubt
mean the developing of the coal
mines, kaolin beds, etc, which are
now so inaccessible as to be practi-
cally worthless.
There are some who favor the road
simply because it will give labor to
many men while building. This is
one good reason in its favor, but it
is very small one in comparison to
the lasting benefits to the city and
TO the country. 1t is the country
which must be developed. The Med
ford Mail Tribune, in an editorial a
few days ago, wisely states that the
towns of the valley are large enough,
what we must do is to develop the
country. This interurban, unless it
is very different from all other inter
urbans, will do this For this reason
We should all favor the franchise.

BURNED BY KEROSENE
Jack Robinson of Medford Has Mar
row Escape While Trying to
Build Fire With Oil.

Medford. Feb. Jack Robinson,
aged 6 years, living with his parents
in a house near the Sacred Heart
HOSPITAL, started n fire in the kitch-
en- stove Thursday afternon with
kerosene, and only the intervention
of a kindly Providence saved him
from fiery death. The fire spread
and burned a hole in the floor and
was extinguished before the arrival
of the fire department.
Young Jack maintains the kero-
sene exploded, but it is thought he
dropped the can on the floor and
ran quicker than one could say his
name when he saw his danger, which
saved his life AS he was pouring
the oil among the dead ashes they
suddenly leaped into flame, burn
ing his hand and fingers. Older peo-
ple about the house threw clothes
and carpets upon the blaze, smother
ing it. In the meantime an alarm
had been turned in and the fire de-
Dartment responded.
The little boy and his parents are
recent arrivals in Medford, and the
lad was frightened by his experience
and will start no more fires with
kerosene for some time.

GOATS MONEY MAKERS EXPERT THE BOOKS
Paul Deuber Tells of Profits Raising
Goats in Mountains and Foot
hill Regions.

Paul Deuber, who lives near
Green Springs mountain, is an ard
ent devotee of goat raising. He be-
lieves that the Angora goat will
solve the problem of the country
rancher. Mr.. Deuber has been
bringing goat meat to this city regu-
larly, as has one of his neighbors,
Mr.. ID. n. Davis, and both have found
ready market for it. Many, the
writer included, prefer goats meat
to mutton, and agree with Mr.. Deu-
ber that it will find ready sale at
the meat markets under its own
name. 1t has already been sold as
mutton in many places.
Not only are goats valuable for
mutton, but they are of great value
in cleaning the underbrush from the
mountains and hills, thus giving the
natural forage plants a chance to
grow. They also need very little
fodder. Mr.. Deuber has flock OF
about 425 goats and has been com
relled to feed them hay but two or
three days during the entire winter,
which has been unusually hard. Or
dinarily, when in need of feed, it is
only necessary to so out and fell a
tree or two and the goats will eat
