by preventing Compere re-election

Tho sociallcta are concentrating
their opposition on Wlllian number,

"WORKING UNDER DIFFICULTIES
The Mail Tribune has moved into its new quarters on Fir street, near Sixth, but
is nsryct operating under difficulties. The whole of Thanksgiving' day was devoted
to the removal of the plant and but little heed was given to putting it in order. Hence
a chaotic condition existed this morning and this issue was gotten out .iindor extreme
difficulty
"Within a day or two the plant will begin to assume a semblance of order, and then
it is, hoped that the days of abbreviated editions and late delivery will be a thing of the
past. The Mail Tribune will have the finest home of any paper in the state outside
of Portland, and the Mail Tribune will endeavor to live up to its home by greatly im
proving its daily issues.

Medford won, In splto of having a
lighter team than their opponents and
that they wero unable to use their

have been able to do on a dryer
field.

Impossible to keep warm. We won,
though, and that helps some."
Ashlund was heavier In tho lino,
