TALENT BOY
HAS NOVEL
EXPERIENCE
Donald Tryon, 18-year old son of
M. E. Tryon o f Talent, was reported
missing a week ago Sunday evening,
to Tacoma police. Donald had been
attending the Stadium high school
in Tacoma and was staying with rel­
atives. He returned to the home of
his parents Wednesday o f last week
after passing through a very thrill­
ing experience.
Leaving the home
o f his uncle in Tacoma to spend the
evening with other relatives in an­
other part o f the city, he took a
short cut on an unfrequented trail
and suddenly came upon two rum­
runners talking, who discovered him
before he could retrace his steps,
attacked him and sand bagged him.
When Donald regained consciousness
he found himself securely bound
hand and foot with heavy rope
aboard a freight train in a box car
containing lumber. A fte r a strenu­
ous and prolonged effort, he suc­
ceeded in wriggling free from the
ropes and escaped from the end door
o f the car.
He discovered himself
to be in the Ashland railroad yards
and started to walk home on the
highway, being picked up at Jackson
Hot Springs by Alex Bowman and
given a ride. His overcoat was found
at the scene o f the crime with a note
in the buttonhole saying, “ This guy
knows too much about our business.”
He is being congratulated by friends
upon his lucky escape.

TOLO SCHOOL CLOSES
On Friday o f this week the school
in our neighboring Tolo distrist is
closing a nine months’ term.
The Tolo school is a standard one,
having met all the requirements o f
law making it so. It is a modem,
brick building, constructed about six
years ago under the supervision of
A. A. Boyce, who did most o f the
work.
Mr. Boyce was at that time
and still is a resident o f the Tolo
community.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Scott Hamilton
A t a student body assembly Mon­
day afternoon final plans were made
fo r the class day picnic. The site
chosen by the committee was unde­
sirable fo r two reasons; first being
that it is too far and second, there
were not enough cars. It was voted
that we go to Ashland, after the
class day exercises, fo r our picnic.
A t the close o f the assembly the
1926 annuals were presented to the
students.
The Order o f the “ C” consisting
o f all men who have earned letters
during their school career, held a
meeting Monday evening to make
plans fo r the initiation o f the three
new members coming
in.
Roger
von der Hellen, George Elden and
Eugene Reames, the new members,
will be initiated class day before the
student body.
The athletes who received their
letters this year were: Boys’ bas­
ketball, Shores, Pickett, Faber, Ben­
son, Hamilton, Beall and
Hover;
girls’ basketball, Evelyn Hamilton,
Wilda Richmond, Edith Copinger,
Addie Cline, Jesse Seabrooke and
Jennie Eicher; those receiving letters
fo r track are Carl Hover, Orval
Shores,
George
Elden,
Eugene
Reames and Donald Faber.
The officers fo r the coming year
were installed class day. The ones
taking the oath o f office
are:
Rafael Benson, president; Evelyn
Hamilton,
vice-president;
Leota
Reames, secretary and .George Elden,
treasurer.
The Junior-Senior banquet was
held Wednesday evening
at
the
Lithia Springs Hotel. They left about
six o’clock and dinner was served
at seven. Everyone had a most de­
ligh tfu l time, and many were the
laughs that were had during
the
toasts. About forty-five students
and teachers attended the banquet.
The final examinations were held
Tuesday and
Wednesday o f this
week.
They were held in regular
class periods but had two periods to
write in instead o f one. Mr. Jewett
reports this being the best school
year he has had since he has been
here. The report cards will be dis­
tributed Friday at one o’clock.
Mr. Terrell, will leave fo r his home
in Marshfield just as soon as the
graduation exercises are over.
He
states he will probably be through
here some time this summer on his
vacation.
Miss Saubert will leave fo r her
home Saturday.
Miss Saubert re­
ports that she is going to go on a
long vacation through California
this summer.
Finis fo r this year— we thank you.
Kenneth W. Beebe o f Beebe &
Kindle, Pennzoil distributors o f Cen­
tral Point, Ore., was in Portland last
week visiting with O. N. Fox, dis­
trict manager fo r the Pennzoil com­
pany, and incidentally placing an
order for a carload o f Pennzoil in
anticipation o f the tourist season.
Beebe & Kindle are distributors
fo r the Pennzoil line for Medford,
Klamath Falls and Ashland south,
and also north as far as Grants Pass.
They report an increase o f business
o f better than 50 per cent since tak­
ing on the Pennzoil line a little over
a year ago.
Road conditions are reported ideal,
The road through the Sacramento
canyon between Redding and Duns-
muir is completed and open. Fish­
ing in Diamond lake is in full swing
with limit catches reported by almost
all who have tried.
The fish are
being caught both on fly and by troll­
ing. Fly fishing is more popular and
all the fish one wants can be had
by this method o f at all adept in the
piscatorial art, says Beebe.
This road leads out o f Medford
and the first cars went through about
May 10, those making the trip re­
porting excellent travel conditions.
The road to Crater Lake is not yet
open, but the snow is melting fast
and unless a considerable snowfall
takes places the expectations are that
it will be open about June 10.
Tourist travel has been about nor­
mal and the expectations are fo r a
considerable increase over last year.

TABLE ROCK SCHOOL CLOSES
Last Friday closed a nine months’
term o f school in the Table Rock dis­
trict, with Mrs. Purcell, of Medford,
as teacher.
On Thursday evening a program
was given by the school and ice
cream and cake were served at its
conclusion. The Table Rock Commun­
ity Club assisted In the evenings’
entertainment.
Mrs. Purcell has conducted
the
school in a very able way, but real­
izing the need o f at least two teach­
ers in every rural school, the board
members have decided to employ two
teachers fo r another
year.
Mrs.
Purcell has been retained and will
be given an assistant.
The Table Rock school already has
a good building and with two teach-
ers it will rank high among Jackson
county schools.
The piano pupils o f Miss Imogene
Wallace are giving a piano recital
at SL Marks Guild Hall, Medford,
on Friday evening o f this week.
Among the pupils taking part are
Geraldine Tex, Francis Faber and
Helene Salade,
all from
Central
Point.
The parents o f these little girls
will be guests.
NUMBER 6
MEN’S BIBLE
CLASS HARD
T O BLUFF
Although there was serious threat
o f rain and the weather was quite
chilly the Community Men’s Bible
Class was not bluffed down last Sun­
day. As had been previously plan­
ned the class, as well as the Sunday
schools o f both the Christian and
Union churches, assembled fifteen
minutes early fo r their lessons in
order to give plenty o f time fo r the
trip to Lithia Park at Ashland. There
was some little discussion by the
members o f the class as to the ad­
visability o f going ahead with the
picnic as planned; the general con­
census o f opinion was, " W e ’re here,
and we've got the eats, so why back
out for a little rain !"
Accordingly at the close o f the
lesson the members present hastened
to the street where their cars were
parked; there the the ladies and chil­
dren were waiting and in a few min­
utes a line o f some 55 or 60 cars
were on their way, traveling in a
solid line, red and blue streamers
fluttering from the radiators.
As the weather looked quite un­
certain many who had planned to at­
tend the picnic were afraid to risk
it and returned to their homes, while
others were detained by necessary
work. But in spite o f this the turn­
out was good.
Upon their arrival at the park in
Ashland it was not long before the
contents o f many baskets had been
spread upon the various tables and
began to rapidly disappear. C offee
was made on the grounds so that all
who wished had a hot cup to help
combat the chill o f the air.
Immediately following the
feast
the men were all called to a grassy
slope where they were formed into
a semi-circle and there Messrs. And­
erson o f the California Studio, Med­
ford, and R. E. Mulligan o f Central
Point, “ shot” the bunch with a fine
circuit camera. The film was then
changed and the ladies and children
were asked to join the circle and the
whole group was taken.
Before the second picture was fin­
ished a light rain started
falling
which continued most o f the day, so
the merry party was forced to dis­
band and start for their several
homes. But despite the fact that the
picture was broken up at such an
early hour everybody
had a good
time and all voted it a decided suc­
cess.
The picture which
were
taken
came out beautifully and are now
on display in the window o f Jones'
