A number of the young people of
the Methodist church drove to Talent
Tuesday night to attend the dinner
and entertainment given by the
Methodist church of that place. They
report a fiue time. Those in the
party were Mr. and Mrs. Lemery,
Earl Fraley, Everett Smith, John
Higgs, Homer Elhart, Ella Brown,
Emily Wells, Evelyn Merrill, Clayton
Horror and Grace Barney.
The members of the Modern
Brotherhood of America were pleas
antly entertained Saturday evening
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Wallace, on Third street. After a
short business session a social hour
was enjoyed and delicious refresh
ments were served. Those attending
were Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Hargadine,
Prof, and Mrs. (J. W. Milam, Mrs. G.

W. M. I. Meet in jr.
The Woman's Missionary Union of
the Congregational church will meet
Monday afternoon at 2:30 at the
home of Mrs. J. M. Kirkpatrick. The
date has been changed because of the
Rose Carnival. The topic for the
day will be The Schauffler Mission
ary Training School of Cleveland,
wiiio." Mrs. Wilbur Denisou will
lead the meeting.
D. C. Germany's
program, and a sug-
gestion that an attempt may be made
J to place under the German flag many
i thousands of square miles of land in
Brazil, controlled by German nation
als, are submitted to members of
congress in a letter from the Navy
League of the cnited States urging
reconsideratiou of the house's re
fusal to make an appropriation for
battleships this year.
Attention is also called to the
building program of Japan, and it is
declared that while both that coun
try and Germany are most friendly
with the United States, "it would be
most foolish if we failed to consider
them as possible opponents,"
The letters direct particular atten
tion to the attacks upon the Monroe
doctrine appearing in German news
papers. One of these urged Germany
to "examine closelv whether things
resting on such shallow legal and his- J
torical foundations as the Monroe
Doctrine need be tolerated or wheth
er, at the bottom, they were not
merely American arrogance which re
quire sharp and decisive opposition."
The Young People's Society of
Christian Endeavor of the Presby
. terian church held their regular
monthly business meeting and social
at the home of Miss Sllva Brown, on

An extra joint meeting of the La
dies' Aid Society and the Teacup
Club of the Methodist church was
held Wednesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. W. J. Moore, at her
beautiful home on North Main street
Owing to a confusion of dates, there
was a small attendance, but all re-
lort an enjoyable time. One game
in particular caused much merri
ment. Each guest was presented
with a small bag of beans and way
told that for every "yes" used in her
conversation, a bean would be for
feited. The one obtaining the larg
ost number of beans was presented
with the remainder of them. Ice
cream and cake were served during
the afternoon.
The Social Circle spent a pleasant
afternoon with Mrs. O. W. Long and
Mrs. A. G. Livingstone at the home
if the latter, on Third street, Tues

One of the jolliest parties of the
Reason was tile one held at the Ar
bnckle ranch Wednesday' evening.
Most of the guests came dressed as
little children, wearing knee pants or
shirt skirts; There were all kinds
of klddish si nuts, such as speaking
pieces, spelling and singing, with a
mock orchestra, the latter including
nonie instruments never before
known to produce music Next came
the guessing or twenty-two kinds of
liquids, in which contest Miss Bailey
iind Miss Anderson carried off the
prizes. Vast quantities of peanuts,
rniprom balls, oranges and stick can
dy were consumed and various games
played until midnight, when the fes
tivities wound up with a grand taffy
pull, in which everybody exercised
their muscles and ate their fill of
sweet, sticky stuff Those present
were Misses Minta and Ruby Cheliy,
Bertha and Mildred Bailey, Florence
Far u ham and Jean Anderson, Messrs.
Will Moor, Mauley Cherry, Quincy
Adams, Willis Bailey, Berth Griffith,
Cratz and Owen Barnhill.
W. C. T. F. Meeting.
The W. C. T. IT. held an Interest
ing meeting in the hospitable home
of Mrs. A. W. Silsby, where she
kindly received her guests. Mrs.
Grace Holmes presided at the piano.
Little Inez Eagan was on the pro
gram with a song. A number of sub
jects pertaining to the welfare of
our country were discussed, the first
being Sabbath observance.
The principal speakers on the vari
ous subjects were Mrs. James, Mrs.
Hatch, Mrs. Hathaway, Mrs. Helman,
Mrs. Woods, Mrs. Lindsay and Mrs.
Ashcraft.
One special paper dealt with hered
ity and the work that had been done
to better certain conditions in the
United States. Also the necessity to
rear our youth, our best product,
without debauching them or drug
ging them before they reach mature
years, was touched upon. The sub
jects of tuberculosis as well as the
right of the child to be well born
were ably handled. The creation of
unnatural appetites through narcot
ics, which meant the early decay of
mentality and morality, was well Il
lustrated by one of our women. Cit
izenship and its duties occupied an
other space of time.
These topics of vital Importance
filled an hour or more of thougutful
consideration. The W. C. T. U. Is
rather noted for covering a wide
range of many subjects not being
limited, as some suppose, to one line.
In fact, no two meetings, during the
year, have similar programs. Ar
rangements were made to observe a
Flower Mission Day in the near future.

Medford Theatre, Tuesday, June 4.
"Day Dreams," the latest waltz
melody to swoop over the country
and hold its hearers enthralled by ts
sensuous sway and suggestion of
hidden holies and dreams, runs as a
recurrent theme through the new
opera of the Viennese, "The Spring
Maid," which Is establishing the rec
ord of two triiis- from coast to coast
in a single season. These are its
words:
"Day dreams, visions of bliss,
Dear as the hopes of childhood.
Bright as a sunbeam and brief as a
kiss,
Lost in the wakening wild wood.
Day Dreams, moments divine,
When all so radiant seems;
That is the land w here the stars ever
shine,
Deep in those dear day dreams."

The preparatory work of adjudi
cation of the water rights of all the j
streams in Jackson and Joseptune
counties, that is being carried on by
the state board of water control un
der the supervision of James T. Chin
nook, brings to light that all water
rights upon practically every stream
In the two counties allows claims for j
more water than the streams contain.
In many cases water rights have been
filed by different parties, laying 8
total of five times the flow of the
stream.
The work of the department of
water control will, when completed,
form an adequate settlement of all
water questions and take the matter
out of the present chaotic state. In
this manner questions In regard to
the ownership of water that would
otherwise take up years of legal pro
cedure in trials, suits, etc., and In
volve large companies and large
amounts of money, will be definitely
stttled when the rigljts are adjusted
and become a part of the court rec
ord. It is roughly estimated that 1,500
water rights, ranging from amounts
that run into the millions to small
little creek rights that are trivial,
have been filed The contests on
many of these may take weeks before
they are finally decided by the de
partment, but when the thorougu
work is completed and becomes a
part of the court record Oregon will
be In advance of many states that
are continually at expense over ques
tions of the ownership of the differ
ent streams, or rather the water
The work is being accomplished
by Mr. Chinnock and his assistant,
Murray C. Wheat, and they hope to
have the district completed by the
first of the coming year.

POLE ORDINANCE FAULTY.
Hood River Measure Fails to Make
Specific Provisions.
Hood River, Ore. Because of a
failure of the recently enacted ordi
nance here to make provisions as to
which company should make the
change of its lines from one side of
the street to the other, the Home
and Pacific telephone companies and
the Hood River Gas & Electric Com
pany are in a quandary.
In a communication to the council
Albert S. Hall, manager of the Hood
River Gas & Electric Company, stat
ed that his company had been assem
bling materials and making surveys
to comply with the ordinance, but
declared that it was impossible to
follow the law. The ordinance re
quires that the lines of the telephone
companies and the electric companies
be on opposite sides of the street.
They now occupy the same side of
the streets In numerous places. Be
cause of the fact that the ordinance
does not say which of the companies
shall move its lines, neither company
feels like making the move first.

Decision is Reversed.
Attorney General Crawford has re
vised his decision of a year ago hold
ing that no fish caught with a rod
and line in the Rogue river could be
sold or offered for sale, as provided
In the law, and now holds that sal
mon caught with rod and line can be
sold. The flop was made to accom
modate some fishermen at the mouth
of the Rogue, who are preparing to
ship the salmon caught "with rod
and line."
The state game and fish commis
sion have requested the Rogue River
Fish Protective Association to start
a test suit to have the courts pass
upon the point at issue. Mall Tribune.
