You have only two short weeks left to win that wonderful trip to the San Francisco World’s Fair. If that trip is not worth working hard for, we don't know anything, and to make it more in teresting, just listen to this. The first of the week while M. O. Athey was in Portland he contacted a man who promises one of the most delightful parties any girl ever had and this will be one of the grand times the gills will have while on the World’s Fair trip. This party will be held in one of the most beautiful homes near San Francisco and the people who will entertain the girls, love every thing'and every body in the valley and can't seem to be able to do enough for the Coming Attractions at Cave City Theater California in all its romantic glory of the gold rush and mis sion days is brought to the screen in “The Girl of the Golden West,“ Co-starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy, and coming to the Cave City theatre, Saturday, and Sunday, August 20 and 21.

Wed -Sat , Sept. 14-17—Josephine Zottola Brothers are doing a great service to the goat raisers of Josephine county, when they offer to make a test run to as certain if sufficient goats milk can be procured in the county to manufacture goats milk cheese, one of the very finest foods that can be manufactured. They offer to make this test if the farmers of the county will pro vide the milk and deliver it to their factory before noon, Satur day, August 20, this date is this coming Saturday. The following letter from O. K. Beals, county agent tells the complete story: Goat Milk Producers, Josephine County, Oregon. Dear Frienls: The Zottola Cheese Factory in Grants Pass has agreed to manu facture a trial vat of goat cheese. This test run is for the purpose of determining: 1. The amount of goat milk in the county available for cheese making. 2. The price that a factory can pay for milk if the amount re ceived is adequate for the daily manufacture of cheese, and 3. Determining what market is available for the product. Saturday, August 20, has been set for this trial run. Goat milk producers are to deliver the milk to the factory as early as possible on that date. Needless to say, the milk should be clean and cooled immediately after milking and kept as cool as possible until de livered, which must not be later than 12 o’clock noon. Since the purpose of the run is to determine the points men tioned above, producers are ex pected to donate the milk on that date. There must be at least 200 gallons of milk for this trial. Those concerned would appreciate it if you would mail a card to this office stating the amount of milk you can deliver on Saturday. Aug use. 20. Yours very truly, O. K. Beals, County Agricultural Agent. - o------------- Theie has been considerable discussion as to whether the high school election, held last Thurs day, was a legal election or not Some 20 votes were cast that were challenged and the eligibil ity of the voters was the cause of tie challenge. The budget won by a large mar gin, 111 for and 68 against, and the opinion is that the bud get carried without any further action necessary. However, the vote for the busses was 87 for and 92 against and the 20 contest ed votes should easily change this. A letter from County School Superintendent H. H. Wardrip, to A. J. Drews, president of the Il linois Valley Chamber of Com merce enlightens us on the entire election. The letter is as follows: Dear Mr Drews: In reply to your letter just re ceived, will say the clerk of the Kerby Union High School District has the County Assessor’s report on the eligibility of the challenged voters. I have not seen this list. However, I understand there were a few ineligible votes cast. In the case of the proposition to build, the vote was: yes 111, no 68—a majority of 43 votes for the proposition. In the case of the bus proposition the vote was: yes 87, and no 92—a close margin against. Had all the challenged votes been negative votes, the proposition to build would still have carried making the count as follows: yes 91, no 88. I under stand that only a comparatively few of the questioned voters were ineligible. The vote on busses was differ ent. A shifting of three votes from the negative to the affirmative would have reversed the result. As it was a secret ballot, there is no possibility of knowing the effect of these ineligible ballots. There fore it is my opinion that the vote upon the proposed levy for the purpose of providing busses is of no effect and that to determine the wish of the legal voters in this matter, another election would have to be held., It is the responsibility of the school board to call the election, if another election is called. I sin cerely hope this important matter may be amicably and speedily de cided. School opens in a short time and very much depends upon the solution of your problem. The* Illinois Valley is one large natural unit and should work as such. You have much to offer to home seekers and home builders, and I feel certain that in a very few years your population will be doubled or trebledt I am optimis tic about your future.. Let me know if I can serve in any way. Sincerely Yours, H. H. Wardrip, County School Superintendent. folks up here. It’s a secret yet, but when you hear of all the won derful times you are going to have besides having a really great time at home during the Jubilee, we think the girls will outdo them selves in securing votes for Queen. This paper is practically cer tain that all five of the girls will be taken on that trip to San Fran cisco and the first five on the list when the count is finished are go ing to be made very happy when all the festivities are over. They will be glad that they worked hard to win such a victory. Now listen to this girls—Here is an opportunity for you to se cure a big flock of votes and be sides do something in return for all the things the Jubilee commit tee is going to do for you. The Queen’s show which will be held Wednesday, August 31st it going to be a great party. This is the evening when the elected queen and princesses will be announced. The show is a good one besides knowing who will be queen. There is no advance in price for this big feature, and every ticket you sell to the Queen’s show will give you 500 votes. It is no trick at all to sell 15 or 20 of these tickets to your friends, for they will all want to attend the Queen's show. The price is 35 cents down stairs and 40 cents up stairs. The tickets will be ready for you Saturday at noon. Get your supply and help I yourself and help the committee Jubilee Edition of The make this an outstanding affair.

Price 5 Cents Jubilee Almost Ready to Open Next Monday evening, the Jub ilee committee will finish putting the entire program together for the Second Miners’ Jubilee, and from reports leaking out, the pro gram is going to be a hum dinger. Already reservations are com ing in from people in San Fran cisco asking for reservation for the whole three days, and as the time begins to get near we ex pect to have every available room and cabin taken for the big show this year. One of the most gratifying as pects of the Jubilee this year, is the intense interest the people of Grants Pass are taking this year. We have heard hundreds of them say they are coming out to see the Jubilee this year. Those who did not see it last year, heard all« about it, and they won't let any thing stop them this year from at tending. Crescent City, Eureka, Brook ings, Medford, Gold Beach, and many other nearby towns are go ing to come over in droves to see this spectacle this year. In fact the committee is becoming a little excited over where to take care of the crowds that will attend, but they are moving fast and will do the best they can. There are still a few’ conces sions available for those who want them. But youi time is short and you better find out what you want and grab it while there is still time. See M. C. Athey at The News office at once. Tickets will soon be out for the greatest banquet ever held in Southern Oregon. At least it will be the most original one and from reservations and tickets spoken for, there will probably be 250 attend the banquet. This will be one of the outstanding affairs of the Jubilee. We are going to honor the dreamers, planners and builders of the Redwood High way, and representatives from the Redwoods Empire association will attend the banquet. If plans now in action mature, two of the most prominent citi zens on the Pacific Coast will meet at this banquet, and when it is definitely known who they are, tickets will be at a premium, for 250 is all we can take care of. We advise early purchase of your tickets so you will be assur ed of a seat at the big banquet. Tickets will be ready Monday, August 22. The Jubilee committee is ask ing all the merchants in Cave Junction to dress up their store fronts—put on plenty of light— decorate the best you can and hang signs of welcome to our vis itors where all can see them. Let's make this a great Jubilee. We can if we try. Registration Books Are Now Open for Signers The registration books of the county are open for all to regis ter so they can vote in th<* Nov ember election.

Sgt A. A. Whitesell, of the Presidio, S»an Francisco, who owns a ranch in Deer creek valley, stopped at The News office and gave us his subscription order, in order to get the articles written by Phil Snort. Mr. and Mrs. Whitesell and daughter Nancy, made a short visit at the Snort home, on Elk creek, Friday. It was the first time the two families ever met, but Phil says it was like the meeting and parting of old friends. Mr. Whitesell has long been a reader of Phil’s writings in the Courier Kerby News Notes of General Interest By Adah Jone« Dorothy McGrady left this week for Arcata, California, where she will be employed at a cafe. Doro thy is a daughter of Mrs. Bud Hoskins of Kerby. Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Lackey Sr. and grandson Robert Fox left Tuesday for Los Angeles where the Lackeys will visit relatives and Robert will return to his home after spending the summer with the Lackeys near Kerby. —o— In last week's Kerby News Kenneth Robinson's name should have been among those who were on the hay baling crew that help ed put out the fire near the Franklin place north of Kerby. Clarence Roe was not present at the time as was stated. —o— At a recent meeting of the Kerby Union High School board it was decided to hire Mrs. Doris Sheythe of Newport, Oregon, for the posi tion of teacher of typing, Eng lish, music and physical education. Mrs. Sheythe is an erperienced teacher and accomplished musi cian. —O' Mr. and Mrs. George Thrash er of Tulelake, spent last Thurs day and Friday in Kerby, trans acting business and visiting their friends. They report that they like their new home very much, but are somewhat homesick for old friends as well as familiar sur roundings.

A sell out in booths for both the agriculture and merchants’ buildings appears probable, with many new applicants applying for the opportunity to make use of this medium of advertising Roper said. 'First coine first served", is the motto of the management in leasing space. Livestock barns and poultry sheds are undergoing renovation in preparation for the anticipated large number of entries. The 4-H clubs and the Future Farmers of America under leadership of County Agent O. K. Beals and W. S. Carpenter respectively, have promised enthusiastic support. Growing interest in goat raising has drawn assurance from goat associations that they will be well represented. Mr. Roper expressed his delight at securing the Hildebrand carni val and shows which he rated the largest shows of its kind in the west. Many new attractions in cluding some fine free acts in clude the Four High Jacks, Hue- rara, and a 65-foot dive into a tank of water by a Shetland pony. Years of effort by Mr. Roper to secure the widely-known Mc- Cleave horse show has finally turned successful. iMr. Roper first witnessed Jim McCleave's jumping horses and ponies 15 years ago, but due to middle west engage- ments has never succeeded in bringing the attraction here until now. The McCleave show will be at night before the grandstand. A display of fireworks to be presented by the Shell Oil com pany will he one of the major features.
