Keeps Business Here
Especially adapted to long runs
and register work, the press will
be "christened" with a 75.000- im
pression order placed by the Frid-
eger Grocery company of Ashland
Because of the nature of the order
and the tremendous amount of
presswork involved, the Frideger
job previously had been printed
by a Portland firm
Features of the new press in
clude a number of precision ad
justments not found on other mod
els. ts-tt< r ink distribution, greater
impression strength, flexibility of
work handled including all types
of paper from onion-skin tissue to
heavy cardboard, envelopes, paper
bags and other usually difficult
materials. An interesting feature
of the press is the vacuum-con
trolled throw-off lever which dis-
I engages the press when a sheet of
paper fouls, sounding a warning
| bell for the pressman The auto
matic unit requires but two or
three minutes of extra adjustment
as compared to the old-fashioned
hand fed presses, but after being
set requires but occasional atten
tion
Any person interested in watch
ing the new press in operation Is
invited to visit The Miner plant
nt any time Saturday during regu
lar working hours, and throughout
next week. The Frideger order
alone will require a week's steady
presarun, while bindery operations
will consume another week.

THAT the 12th annual Southern
Oregon Normal school’s invi
tational basketball tournament for
class B high schools of district 14
would be the greatest of all ap
peared a certainty last night, when
Athletic Director Jean Eberhart of
SONS reported 28 application
blanks already had been received,
with a number more expected fol
lowing county playoff games being
held tonight and Saturday. Fifty-
six teams have been invited to the
March 2, 3 and 4 tournament by
the local college.
Interest in this year’s tourney,
the winner of which will earn the
right to vie in the state cham
pionship playoffs in Salem, is at a
new high point, and Eberhart an
ticipates more than the 32 teams
originally expected. "We probably
will have to run off games in the
junior high gym and the armory,”
declared the SONS meiltor.
Expect More Than 500
About 400 players were attract
ed to Ashland last year and this
season, with roster limits raised
from eight to 10 players per team
and with at least an additional
half dozen teams competing, the
, actual player registration should
exceed- 500. Coaches, classmates,
parents and friends will swell this
j number and tax the eating and
hostelry facilities of the city to
their limit.
The tournament play will get
under way in the championship
flight at 9 a. m. Thursday, March
2. when the Jackson county top
team meets the Douglas county
third ranking outfit on one of the
double courts at the Normal
school. Central _____

St.
Mary’s will play off for first and

tonight, while Douglas county out
fits also will decide their stand
ings this evening. On the other
court, also starting at 9 a. m„ the
central Oregon winner which un
doubtedly will be Sisters, will meet
the Coos county second team, to
be determined this week-end.
At 10 o’clock the Douglas coun
ty top rankers will play the Jack-
son county third position holders
(Rogue River or Butte Falls, to
be decided this week-end) on one
meet tonight to determine stand
ings, neither team yet having lost
a game.
