Clutm Program. : The class in oratory, which recent ly inaugurated the system of having frequent class programs in the high school gymnasium, had their second program Monday morning. The pro gram was a big success. The many unique and interesting parts of the entertainment went far too fast for the fun-loving seniors. The program consisted 'of: Piano solo Amelia Esparza Plnan nnnpr Plan TflrV ! few tickets and thus help along their percentage ' G .Parker : acted as spokesman,, and after giving a short talk on their purpose he introduced the rest of his cohorts and together they rendered a tuneful (?) melody entitled ."I Found a Horseshoe," which was received with real amuse ment by the locals. . Hoy's Hand Heard. One of the most successful Wed nesday morning programs which has been given this semester delighted the students and several townspeople last Wednesday in the high school gymnasium. The boys' band proved the biggest attraction of the morning with its 25-plece organization. Two j well-rendered. selections were played as an opening exercise. This was Supt. Steel Tells of ! Progress at Lake visitors as Jar as .it would go. . Mr, Steel also reports that the tele phone, eervlce, within the park is good, and that that via Fort Klamath and Klamath Falls has .proven more satisfactory during the past year than the service .through Prospect to Med- ford. .

Miss Anderson, instructor of the music department, played several well-known grand opera selections on the school Vlctrola for the music class Tuesday, the object being to find out which of the compositions was the most popular with the' students. Among the selections were "Barca rolle," "Tales from Hoffman;" "Men delssohn's Spring Song;" "Mlnuete," "Beethoven; "Serenade," Shubert; "Intermezzo" from "Cavallerla Rus- ticana." The "Barcarolle" from "Tales from Hoffman" proved to be the best liked, although Shubert's "Mlnuete" was a close second. ' The regular class In music now numbers 35 members, and under the able lead ership of Miss Anderson the class can now render several chorus composi tions in commendable style. A fourth of a credit is given for a semester's work in music. ' A boys' and girls' glee club is also a part of the school's musical organization, al though as an outside activity. Medford Sophomores Visit. The various classes in Medford high, school are having a ticket-selling contest to help increase the sales in tickets for the Ashland-Medford basketball game at Medford. Five sophomOre boys visited Ashland Mon day for tho purpose of scattering a ed talk on Glacier national park. which was given by PrinclpalMoore, who knew his subject thoroughly, 'having spent a part of the summer in the park doing geological research work. About fifty beautiful slides of .various views in the park were se cured from the Great Northern rail way, for the school stereopticon ma chine, for the talk. The program was closed by two heartily encored selections from the boys' band. Debaters Heard. Cleo Kirk and Earnest Abbott de livered tho speeches, which they pre sented In the Ashland-Klamath Falls debate, before the assembly room Thursday.

There was a gain of 894 tourists and 405 auto s mobiles over the year 1915, which had been the biggest year in the history of tho park. This fact is deserving of special attention for the reason that- dur ing 1915 there were two world's fairs on the Pacific coast that had greatly stimulated travel, causing the number of visitors-that year to jump from 7,095 in 1914 to 11,371 in 1915, and automobiles from 1,062 in 1914 to 2,244 In . 1915.

The first state highway work, when money from the $15,000,000 bond issue becomes available in July, will be in northern California, ac cording to the Dunsmuir News. This assurance has been given Robert O. Bonnell, secretary-manager of the Northern California Counties Asso-1 elation, by Highway Commissioner Charles F. Stern. The commission realizes, Stern says, that highways are more vitally needed in northern California than In other sections of the state, and work will be started at the earliest possible moment. But two and one third per cent of the work promised in Division 2. comprising northern California, has been completed. The commission plans to complete the main highway north and south at once. The board of control has agreed to turn over $3,000,000 in April, and Division Engineer T. A. Bedford of Dunsmuir has been au thorized to let contracts for building the link from Sims to the Shasta Siskiyou county line as soon as rights of way have been secured. The Shasta County Promotion and Devel opment Association is now busy se curing deeds from the property own ers along the route, and It is believed that everything will be ready to be gin work on the road the first of April. The road from Redding to Weav erville will be started in July, and the highway commission has prom ised to construct a road from Weav ervllle to the Humboldt county line under the new bond issue, giving northern California a direct outlet to the sea. Work on the Red Bluff Susanvllle and the Redding-Alturas laterals will also be resumed in July. : It has been decided that should the special election of March 19 result favorably to the Chautauqua, the new building will be constructed '.at once and thr.t, so far as possible, the labor and material i should be procured locally so that the money will do the most good to our own people. , The new building will be 160 feet in diameter; will be built to a height of twelve feet of reinforced concrete, with roof similar to the present build ing but much better built and fin ished. A stage will be built as an annex on the lower side, with a sixty- foot opening and depth of thirty feet. It is planned to have dressing rooms and ticket office under the stage, with two entrances to main entrance at rear of building, with sev PAGE Medford.
