F, OFFIREPiNELIS Considerable annoyance was caus ed to the telephone company Tues day evening and yesterday morning through their wires having been carried down by a falling tree seven miles south of the city. Manager E. T. Ludden received word from Medford that the line was out and the Instruments In the local office showed that the trouble was seven miles south. Within ' a very few minutes a crew was assembled and was on Its way to the scene of disaster. It was found that tn clear ing some land the wood choppers had allowed a large fir tree to fall towards the road and the wires were snapped in the fall. The road was cleared, but no attention waa paid to the wires. In getting word to Mr. Ludden It was necessary for the message to go from Medford to San Francisco, thence , to Salt Lake, then to Port land and up to Grants Pass, a dis tance of over 2,000 miles. It is 32 miles to Medford by rail and about 28 by wire. After working all night and until nearly 4 o'clock yesterday after noon the linemen succeeded in get ting service restored to norma.. While the line was out the news papers between San Francisco and Portland were greatly Inconvenenc ed. It Is not generally known that about 95 per cent of the 'Associated Press and United Press dispatches are sent over wires leased from the telephone company. Over four wires It Is possible to send four telegraph messages and conduct three long dis tance conversations at the same time. ' f New "Kinks" in Spring Clothes TIIMtH'H MAW .

OkilOON f i GtsA ChthUrt THIRD JUNIOR RAINBOW IE The roster of the Second Junior Rainbow Regiment was received In Grant Pass today. This Junior: Halnbow Keglinvnt Idea Is a very happy plan originated by J. A. Churchill, state superintendent of public Instruction. Any boy or girl who hss purchased or aold t"" worth of thrirt stamps Is entitled to membership In the Junior Kalnliow Regiment. Josephine county has only one member In the roster of the Second Junior Rainbow Roglinent and does not appear at all In the roster of the (Irs l Junior Itulnliow regiment. This Is not at all the fault of negligence of the teachers or pupils of Jose phine county but Is probably due somewhat to misunderstanding In the premises end the fact that the second Junior Rainbow Regiment filled up so rapidly. For membership In (he third Jun ior Rainbow Regiment which will soon be mustered Josephine county shows 37 names entitled to member ship and as these names have gone In they win undoubtedly appear In the roster of the third Junior Rain bow Regiment.
