night, This Conference win spon­
sored by the Southern Oregon Ath­
letic akaoclatlon and w*im to settle
the district championship for the
smaller schools. So successful was
this first meet that it will be carried
on and mild an annual event.
Cast night Central Point won the
championship when it defruted
Rogue River by a score of 11 to 18.
The Hogue River girls took the
girls* championship by defeating
Prospect by a score of 36 to 32.
Tile first game of the finals wvs
between Prospect and Rogue River
girls* teams. The Prospect girls were
touted to win thia contest, hut the
Rogue River girls went after their
op|>onents’ scalps and got them. It
was a fast game and the River
nymphs took the lead In the first
qut rter. Score 8 to 6. At the half
Rogue River had the best of a 24 to
13 «rare and ended the game with
36 to 32.
In the boys* finals Central Point
won from Gold Hill by a score of
41 to 18. Gold Hill was clearly out­
classed by Central Point.
In fact
there was no term at the Conference
which was in Central Point’s class
and there is talk of excluding Cen­
tral Point from next seasons jeonfer-
s'lM'e,
the claim being made that
Central Point should play such
teams as Grants Pass, Klamath Palls,
etc. The argument is strengthened
by the fact that it is reported that
Central Point will now challenge
the winner of the Ashland-Medford
series for the chance Io represent
the district at the state tournment
next month.
The gpuic between Gold Hill and
Central Point was one-sided the
I,iHc« taking the lead and maintain­
ing it throughout. However, the Gold
Hill hoys put up a valiant fight.
Their poor passing contributed a
great deal to their dzfeot. Gray was
one of the outstanding players for
Gold Hll| and Paher and s.oleinnn
for Central Point line-up.
(■old Hill eliminated Talent and
Prospect in order to gid a chance nt

VEKNON BEAUTIFYING
SERVICE STATION
Tom Vernon, manager of Vernon’s
Service Station has felt the urge of
spring. The lovely weather which
we have been enjoying has inocu­
lated him with the spirit of the sea­
son and as a result he has been busy
planting flowers and setting out
soufe new shrubbery. Mr. Vernon
conducts one of the best known sta­
tions on the Pacific highway and
takes a great deal of pride in his
business.
Tom works on the theory that
beautification of his property while
not as sentimental as writing odes
to s|tring or humming spring carols
is more pleasing to the eyes. Before
the summer season is here this place
will be realty to greet the flood of
travelers which courst up and down

Oregon is one of the six states
with |ter capita wealth in excess of

states of Wyoming, South Dakota
and Iowa.
The state of Nevada
leads the whole country with per

which is in excess of Nebraska and
California, the other two states in

SPRING BAND CONCERTS
PLAYED BY COLLEGIANS
Oregon State Agriculture College,
Corvallis, March.—Final plans for
the twenty-third annual concert
tour of the Oregon State cadet band
this year through Southern Oregon
and, northern California have been
completed. Nine towns included on
the itinerary are Roseburg, Glendale,
Medford, Ashland, Klamath Fells»
Yreka, Fort Jones, Weed and Duns­
muir. The bond will leave March 21,
for the 10-day tour with 45 selected
men.
The best grades of standard music
as well us more popular composi­
tions given by best concert bands in
America are being played. These in­
clude the heavier overtures, marches
and novelty arrangements of popu­
lar selections. Captain H. L. Board,
conductor and “99 graduate of the
college, has accompanied, the band
on every tour.
An eight-piece orchestra consist­
ing of band members will play for
TESLAS HELICOPTER
Nikola Tesla, world-famed in­
ventor of electrical and other de­
vices, has taken out patents on a heli
copter type of flying machine which
would have a wing spread of only
eight feet and weigh 504) pounds.
If workable it would be perhaps
the last word in flivver fliers, but
lightness and compactness are not
the really great virtues claimed for
it.
The plane would take off vertically
instead of horizontally, which means
that it could be parked on the roof
of a cottage or bungalow and there­
by obviate the need of using an ex­
tended landing field.
The helicopter idea is not new,
but thus far it has not been succes­
sfully developed along practical
lines. Even Tesla has not yet mode
a working model.
One of the difficulties has been
that of requiring a propellor for
raising and another for driving the
machine which, until Telsa’s inven­
tion, necessitated cither two engines
or a device for gearing the one en­
gine to two different propellors.
The Telsa plan is to use the one
engine and one propellor and to
change from vertical to horizontal
flight while in the air. For landing
purposes the plane would be turned
back from horizontal to vertical.
Seemingly it would be the whole
machine and not merely the engines
or propellors that would change
position.
