A formal protest against dis-
continuing the two Southern Pa-
cific trains Nos. 7 and 8 between
Grants Pass and Dunsmuir was
voted at a meeting of officials and
community leaders at the Hotel
Medford Tuesday aftem«jon.
The protest was sent to the in­
terstate commerce commission
and the Oregon state public util­
ities commission requesting that
the Southern Pacific company be
prevented from dropping the
trains from service on Jan. 12 as
is the company's plan. The protest
had many signers including the
mayors of Medford. Ashland and1
Grants Pass, the judges of Jack-1
son and Josephine counties and,
the presidents of the chambers of
commerce in Medford, Ashland
and Grants Pass.
Claude E. Peterson, assistant to
the vice president at the Southern
Pacific company’s San Francisco
office, told the group attending
Tuesday’s meeting that discontin­
uance of the trains was based on
the necessity of using the equip­
ment and employes for military
purposes However, there was
considerable disagreement as to
whether or not this was a military
necessity
When news of the cantonment
broke Wednesday, it was thought
that this might affect the decision
of the company, but word was re­
ceived Thursday that there was
no change in the plan to cancel
the trains on Jan. 12.
The transportation situation in
Ashland took another setback this
week when the Dollar Bus Lines
discontinued two daylight sched­
ules. the northbound 12:35 p. m.
and the southbound 6:15 p. m.
According to Harry Chipman,
local ticket agent for the com­
pany, no reason was given for re­
moval of the buses.

Ashland Men Named

The much-rurnored authoriza­
tion for the army «iantonment at
Medford finally became a reality
Wednesday when notice was re­
ceived by Capt. Theron W Bean,
area engineer, from Col. Cecil R.
Moore, district engineer. U. S.
engineers' office, Portland, that
advance information had been re­
ceived from the chief of engineers
in Washington, D. C. that the
Medford cantonment had been au­
thorized for early construction.
Details of the camp and the
time of construction will not be
known until final instructions are
received from Washington. This
necessarily means that there is no
information available for bidders
yet and no labor will be hired un­
til the contracts have been defin­
itely awarded.
If the job is awarded to a pri­
vate contractor as was the orig­
inal plan, a customary 20-day per­
iod may elapse between the calling
of bids and the actual construc­
tion. However, it has been pointed
out that the army might change
its plans and accept a negotiated
contract which would hasten the
start of the construction.

Quarterback Leader
Boosts Jamboree
V. D. "Bert" Miller, president of
the Downtown Quarterbacks club,
has issued the following state­
ment relative to Friday night’s
basketball jamboree.
Ashland Sport Fans:
“The high school athletic jam­
boree should be an annual event
and embody a traditional spirit of
promoting pep and interest in
clean sports Our Ashland athletic
teams are deserving of the united
support of every citizen.
"Participants in worthwhile ath­
letic activities learn lessons that
are benefitrial and practical in
their everyday life. The impressive
importance of these lessons is in
proportion to the emphasis inter­
est. backing and attendance by
citizens of our community.
"And remember your attend­
ance at this jamboree makes it
possible for the Red Cross to help
those in need on the battle fronts.
Signed: V D. "Bert Miller.
Pres. Downtown Quarterbacks.
"P. S.: All Quarterbacks are re­
quested to wear their red and
white booster hats all day Friday
