With the addition to its local de livery service of a handsome five-ton motor truck, which went into commis sion this week, t lie Standard Oil Com pany is splendidly equipped to take care of its old customers and make new ones at points supplied with Standard products from the com pany's Medford station. The new truck is a combination tank and pack age delivery vehicle. The tank has a capacity of 1,225 gallons. It is di vided up Into compartments for re fine doils Red Crown gasoline, en gine distillate, kerosene, and Zero- jlene (the standard oil for motor cars). The freight space will hold about one ton of package goods. This truck will operate out of Medford, calling at the following points: Cen tral Point, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Tal ent and Ashland. Local Sporting World De Palma Wins Indianapolis Race Ralph de Palma, driving a Merce des, won the fifth annual 500-mile automobile ranee at Indianapolis M nday, breaking all records for the distance. De Palma took the lead just before the 200-mile mark was passed and held it practically all the rest of the distance. De Palma's time for the 500 miles was 5:33:55.50, an aerage speed of 89.94 miles an hour. Rene Thomas, who won last year, averaged 82.47 .miles an hour. Darlo Resta, in a Peugot, finished Becond and Gil Anderson, In a StuCs, was third. Resta's tiaie was 5:37: 24:. 94, his average being 89.28 miles an hour. Joe Cooper hit a retaining wall and was forced out soon after Resta finished. Anderson's time was 5:42:- 27.57, an average of 87.60 miles an hour. Earl Cooper, Anderson's team mate, was fourth. Cooper made the distance In 5:48:- 03.60. Wilcox and O'Donnell were fighting for fifth place, with a few laps to go. O'Donnell came in fifth in 6:08: 13.27, the first to require more time than the winner of last year'ss race. Dob Burman was sixth in 6:13:19.61, and Alley finished seventh. ford Saturday afternoon Robert Pe louze of Medford equaled the high school state record in both the 100 and 200 yard dashes. Ilia time for the 100-yard dash was 10 2-5 sec onds, for the 220-yard dash 23 3-5 seconds. In the 100-yard dash he ran 303 . feet, being set back three feet for jumping the gun. Lyman f Gold Hill and Reynolds of Grants Pass were the other stars of the day. Le Roy of Grants Pass showed uo well in. the weights. Medford won the meet with 74 points, Grants Pass second With 31 and Gold Hill third with 26. Ashland was not repre sented. Dud IVraoll Released. Bud Pernoll. valley boy who played ball with the Ashland normal team many years ago, has been uncondi tionally released by Manager Wolver ton of the San Francisco coast league team. When Bud is going right he is some pitcher and ran tip a record for successive wins last year. He got off on the wrong foot this year and has done nothing worth mention ing. Pernoll has had a variegated career as a ball player. ITe started with Portland in the coast league but failed to Jibe with the management and was released to Aberdeen in the northwest. From there he went to Detroit In the big league, but al though making a fair showing was turned back to the coast. Bud had another chance to go up into the big pasture, but preferred the coast clim ate. He played ball for Oakland year before last, was released to San Fran cisco last year and made a wonder ful showing. It wouldn't surprise his many admirers to see him catch on with some other team and make Kood again tbla year. With Bud It necms to be a case of "adversity makes for proficiency." IntercM In Ionjr. Dlxtanre Dunning lUnivod. Interest In long distance running has been revived by the performance of llannes Kolehmlanen, the great Finnish distance runner, who at the recent tournament A. C games held at Sieltlc Park, New York, made a new American record for the fifteen mile run. While Kolehmlanen did not win the event, having been hand icapped by fifteen minutes, he fin ished eighth in the remarkable actual running tlmo of 1:23:8 4-5, The fifteen-mile record made by Crawley In 1909 was 1::25:16, and was con sidered one of the weakest on the American record hooks. The finis performance was much better than It appears on the surface, for there was a stiff wind blowing through the backstretrh during the running of the event which causud the runners to clow down and lose time. Pclouzfl Slant In Valley MH. In the southern Oregon annual high Bchool track meet held In Med- Auto Tide to West Sets In San Diego, Cal. Motorists of the country are watching with interest the progress made by E. G. Baker. who left the San Diego exposition a week ago in his effort to establish (in a Stutz Bearcat) a record for sin gle drive across the country to New York. Five days' record was 2,218 miles, bringing Baker Into Emporia, Kan., a startling record of 443 miles a day. At this rate he will make New York . In much less than the two weeks' estimate. Baker's exploit, starting from the exposition, is another factor In the Interest displayed by motorists In coast tours during the summer. One authority estimates 20)000 people will come by automobile. He says twice as many more will come by boat or train and will rent cars on the coast for their tours of the west. Highly optimistic reports come from the Transcontinental Garage Service, Inc., which to take care or this travel has established a complete chain of garages from Kansas City to San Diego, at which "motor mon ey'" Issued by that concern will be accepted for accessories and minor repairs. This concern has put out the most complete logbook for the southwest and is co-operating with the San Diego exposition in the let ter's program to assist the "See America First" movement, entirely apart from the stimulating of travel to the fairs at San Diego and San Francisco. A few days ago there were parked at the end of the Puente Cabrillo, the great viaduct forming the west approach, no less than 83 automobiles carrying a Minnesota license. Min gled with them were In smaller num ber cars from other middle west and eastern states. .The summer moe-j ment Is thought to have started al ready, as the rainy season Is now past and the famous highways of the southwest are now In their best state. Incoming tourists grin as they pass the sign at the side of San Diego's coaKt boulevard. It reads: "Joyriders, beware! Slow down to one hundred miles an hour." Change of Motor Law Effective The following are changes in the new motor vehicle law now in effect, according to notices Jielng sent out by Secretary oi State Olcott: Chapter 350," Laws 1915, in effect May 22, 1915, provides that number plates cannot be transferred from one motor vehicle to another vehicle. The number plates assigned by the secretary of state to a motor vehicle remain with such motor vehicle dur ing the year for which it is regis tered. It is the. motor vehicle that is registered, not the owner. Upon sale of a motor vehicle the purchaser must notify the secretary of state. He will furnish a transfer blank which must be signed by the purchaser and returned for filing to gether with the statutory fee of $1. No sale or transfer is valid unless the required transfer notice is given by the purchaser and the fee paid by him.

Since no similar prizes have been offered to the girls, we have made arrangements whereby the three girls making the highest scores in any club projects exhibited at the Jackson County Fair in September, 1915, shall be given trips to Crater Lake by auto, with all expenses paid, from any point on the Pacific highway be tween Ashland and Rogue River, or on the road to Crater Lake and re turn. The party will be accompanied by a competent chaperon. "The trip will take three days. Stops will be made at points of in terest en route, such as the California-Oregon Power Company's large plant near Prospect, the Mill Creek Falls, the Natural Bridge, etc. "J. E. Grieve, proprietor of the Prospect Hotel, has kindly offered to give free entertainment at dinner to the party on the way up and again on the return. Prospect is the half way station to the lake. The place Is famous for Its splendid meals, pure icy water, bubbling out of a rocky formation 'like a poem from the heart of the earth, its Invigorating mountain air, its beautiful park-like forests, and the only school building in Jackson county heated with elec tricity. "A. L. Parkhurst, proprietor of the Crater Lake Company, has generously agreed to entertain the girls at the lake. This will Include dinner on the evening of arrival, two nights at the lodge, a full day with meals on and around the lake, and breakfast on the morning of departure. So much has been said and written about Cra ter Lake that it is not necessary here to enumerate its many features or attractions.

CHASE, ' "Supervisor." atre mm One Nigh! Only, Saturday, June 5 WESTERN RAILROADS WANT INCREASED RATES The Interstate Commerce Commis sion is" now taking testimony as to railroad earnings, the western roads having applied for an increase of freight rates equal to that granted the eastern roads recently. One of the witnesses heard was U. G. Powell, rate expert for the Ne braska State Railroad Commission. Powell presented figures to show that the stronger western roads were earning as much as 6 per cent and that certain roads were accumulating a surplus. These seemed to Powell sound reasons why tb western rail roads' petition should be denied. It is'no wonder that business halts, while the country is teeming with big crops and depleted Europe is sure to be clamoring for our manufactures In a few months, when one sees such gross economic ignorance as that of the Nebraska State Railroad Commis sion in absolute control of the funda mental Industry upon which all busi ness activities are based. The trouble with American rail roads has - never leen excessive freight rates. American freight rates are the lowest in the world very much the lowest. A state railroad expert, In Nebras ka or any other state, who believes that the prosperity of a common wealth can be enhanced by refusing to permit railroads to accumulate surpluses for future extensions and betterments is little better than a fool. The business stagnation of this country, In the midst of every favor able condition Imaginable, Ib due to the folly of cheese-paring the honest and necessary business revenues of the great transportation companies Instead of making proper and honest efforts to convict and to Jail the financial buccaneers who rob stock holders and destroy the confidence of investors.
