by thteo touchdowns and n safety.
Tho nanio was otto sided, tho Army
shuwlni; superior power In carrying
tho ball and In defending their goal.
There was much lexness of play
durliiK tho gamo and tho forward
passing by both sides, as a rulo was
poor. Tho navy appeared weuk on
tho defeiiHo and rarely held tho army
when It tried to penctrato tho sailors'
lino or go around tho ends. Tho
army's victory makes tho record of
tho two teams a He, each now having
won nine games, with ono gatno a

stration followed tho gamo with tho
enthtislustla gray-clad army cadets
tho central figures. They planted the
black, gold and gray, their acailamy
colors, In tho center of tho field, then
formed a circle that was as wldo as
the breadth of tho Hold. Thero was
u buglo cull from tho half dozen army
buglom and then ensued tho wild
rush to tho colors, tho wholo clrclo
closing In around tho color bearer.
Tho cadots formed a procession and

LUMBER PLANT
Proposal Made hy Timhcrman for the
Erection of Sawmill and lex Fac
tory to Furnish $80,000 Annual
Payroll and Will Keep at Hen
$200,000 Now-Sent Outside.
A... ' ,
I'Mgnr Ilnfer, who recently purch
ased the Itcnshnw ranch on Deaf
creek, just sifttth of Medford, linn
formulated n en-operative proposal to
tho people of Mrdford for the e.-eclion
of n Piivvmill and box factory lo ho lo
cated upon this property, one-third
of tho canitnl of $160,000 to bo fur
nished by Mr. Ilnfer, one-third snh-
0-OPRA V
seribed by the citizens of tho valley,
nnd tho remaining one-third to ho
treasury stock for future enlarge
ments. The Pacific & Eastern will
extend to the mill nnd the Southern
Pacific is already there. The capacity
of the plant will ho .10,000 feet per
day. The annual payroll required
will ho $80,000, nnd tho amount now
sent abroad for lumber nnd fruit
boxes, averaging $200,000 n year, ho
kept nt home.
Mr. Ilnfer wns manager of tho
lown Lumber & Box company and
Inter of its successor, (he Crater
Lake Lumber company, nnd operated
for several years tho local box fac
tory. He hns secured not ontv tho
most available site for such a plant,
but the mill machinery nnd equipment
formerly used.JIe.is also the-owjiei'
of n tract of timber in Hie. "Butte Falls
section. In discussing his proposal,,
he said:
Modfortl Nttsls Payroll
"Medford needs a payroll. Tho way
to get ono is to start it ourselves.
Ono of our greatest natural resource-
timber should bo mit under devel
opment. Not a stick of. lumber is
touched from the twenty-odd billion
feet of merchantable timber available
in Jackson county.
"It is n positive fuct that within I bo
past five years more money hns been
sent out of tho valley for lumber nml
boxes than tho combined dejiosits lu
our local banks today.
"Just stop and think, sending our
money to Grants Pass, Glendnlc, Eu
gene and Portland, Weed, Cah, and
other points, supporting their enter
prises, their payrolls and their mer
chants, by buying a product wo
should and can successfully product
nt home. Evervonc must IicId check
this continual outgo. Wo need that
money, tho workingmnu needs it, tho
merchant needs it, and every local
enterprise needs it.
"Realizing this condition,, I nni
tuking this opportunity of nsking tho
citizens of Medford to co-opornio
with me mid uist in establishing u
sawmill and box factory heto in Med
ford. Phut Is Outlined
"It would bo my pttrposo to reor
ganize the Crater Lake Lumber com
pany, capitalize nt $150,000 mid do
n general timber, logging, sawing, box
factory mid retail lumber bushier.)).
"With a paid-up capital of $130,-
000 wo eau carry u sufficient supply
of timber to build ft sawmill of 50,000
feet per dav capacity, a modern hor
factory, of like capacity, and hnv
sufficient capital with which to carry
on the opcrution. A plant of this ca
pacity can easily innnufacturQ 10,
000,000 feet of lumber nnnunlly and
supKirt n payroll of $80,000 nnnu
nlly. Suclr nn enterprise under nor
mal conditions should net u orofit of
12 per cent, nnd with a good market
and running plant full capacity, 20
per cent on tlio capital stock,
"In order to encourage and (o im
mediately launch such nn enterprise
here in Medford, I will furnish what'
1 believo to bo tho most desirable saw
mill nnd box factory site in the Kofftie
Hlver valley, Thn property is sitiiat
