School Board Meets This Afternoon
' to Consider Obtaining More
Space.
The school board of Medford dis
trict is in consultation this afternoon
in an endeavor to devise ways and
moans to relieve the congestion at the
Washington school. There are more
pupils in that school now than can
be' accommodated in the school-rooms
proper nnd it hns been found neces
sary to use the third story or rath
er garret to tnko care, of the over
flow. For various reasons this has not
been found satisfactory, and the
board are trying to find a way out.
The plan which seems to find the
most favor is the erection of an an
nex to the present building of suffi
cient size to answer the purpose for
a tinio at least.

are being made.
In all probability the court will ad

and the opening will take place now
I as soon as possible. The grand jury

The session of the court now about
lto c'osc nns Deen a souif-e of much
j interest to the people , of southern
ireS0I1i he daily sessions have
'boen larSelv attended. That the at-
jtorneys and litigants of southern
Oregon appreciate the convenience at

of court in this section goes without
saying as it eliminates a long and
expensive trip on the part of all par
ities concerned. Jurors, witnesses, lit
ignnts, attorneys and all, save both
time and money, for all of which they
are duly appreciative.
As a recognition of the growing im
portance of this section of tho state
in general and of Medford in par
ticular, the appointment of this citv
as the place of holding the court Li
iguificant and will lend iu the future
to other things the erection of a gov
ernment building to accomomdate the
court, together with the forest serv
ice, the postoffice nnd the wenthcr
burenu station, which will undoubt
edly be established here soon, and
furthermore it will make the. spot on
the map occupied by Medford still
more prominent.
