In metropolitan centers of art and culture such an exhibition of exciuis ito work fresh from the rowel on the one hand and from the trained fin pern in needlceroft on tho other, would nttract nUention and praise from competent critics. What, there fore, may he wild of it in a country community nnd from nn organization not yet a month old, both in existence mid ambition? This organization, inspired by res ident women, perfected by women and conducted by women, already boasts n membership of twenty-Hevcn. And yet it is ns busy and businesslike ns if it had reached it majority; and it is eliding along as Miiouthlv as a juoviift picture film on n screen be fore tho eyes of a delighted multi tude. Tho multitude before which it was exhibited in tho presonco of this writer was small becuuso multitudes out our way haven't grown to Junto proportions yet hut it was none the less appreciative, and generous with its merit ('d plaudits, for, under the circumstances, it in a rcmniknblo ex hibition ThoSo who direct the destinies of fho Medford Arts nnd Crafts lcnguo during the initial term arc: Mrs. Dr. T. 0.

Properly to describe the exhibit in detail, dwelling upon the merits of tho work in each department, in passing, would require more space than is available today. There is about it alt an ntmospheie of beauty and perfection, of artistic skill and Sensitive touch that renders it hap pily satisfying to those who love nit ns expressed either on cunvns or butiu, in mctnlwork or nccdlecrnft.

Hughes, alius Kuhluinn, was taken before Justice Taylor this afternoon, to whom he pleaded guilty. Prose cuting Attorney Kelly introduced sufficient testimony to satisfy the le gal process und the court held Hughes to the grand jury in bonds of $000. He was taken to the county jail this afternoon. .Mrs. Hughes, who claims to be the wife of the prisoner, is still here, hut whether or not she will remain till Hughes' trial in February is not known. The authorities at Roscburg want Kuhhunn, or Hughes, for passing spurious paper there, hut were will ing to have him held for trial bote be cause they claim that their county jail has recently been condemned and they would have no safe placo to hold him. It is believed on whnt has been hoard between tho alleged Mr. and trs. Hughes that they have effects jn Scaltlo and that that city has hceu recently their place of abode.

NIBLEY In an alleged intcnicw with George K. Sunder, published in yesterday's livening Telegram of Portland, Mr. Sanders is represented as having said that the 13000 acres have been sub scribed for the beet sugar factory nnd that the first work on the fac tory would begin in February. Al though the interview quotes Mr. San ders ns saying that the location of the mill has not yet been selected, tho article lcaxcs the impression that Mr. Sanders intimated that tho fac tory would bo established nt Grants Pass. This purpoited interview was shown to hecretarv Alex Xiblev of Oregon-Utah Sugar compnuv this nf ternoon, concerning which ho said: "The story is a reMrtors dream, I am sure. Mr. fsuunclcrs, who is iee-nresidont of the Oregon-l'tah Sugar company, knows that tho fiOUO acres have not yet been subscribed. Ho knows also that the location for the plant has not yet been selected. Therefore, I am certain that Mr. Sandeis would make no such state ments' as attributed to him in the Tel egram. "The Telegram reporter says that Mr. Sanders Ims just retained from a trip, to Salt Lake City. That is not true, either. Mr. Sanders has not been in Salt Lake City for a mouth. It also quotes Mr. Sanders as saying that last year a sugar beet weighing 10 pounds wns produc ed in this volley Unit gave '25 per cent of sugar content. Wo have never found sugar beets at any time, miscd nnywheic, that gnve "J.") per cent of sugar. Mr. Sanders knows that, also, Hence, I am sure tho whole story is a fiction. Thero is no basis for it. Therefore, Mr. Sanders is not the kind of mnu to giio it." The Mail Tribune is informed that the committees, both at Medford and at Giants Puss, nre doing their ut most to close tho campaign nt the eailiest possible moment. Then, nnd not till then, will the location of the sugar factory be detet mined.

The Test Musical history was made a short time ago at Orange, New Jersey. ' At the laboratories of the New Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph, 300 phonograph experts were witnesses to an epoch-making experiment. When the test was done, the entire gathering agreed as one a modern miracle had been performed before their eyes! IIU w Three factors predeminated: ' -w Alice Verlct, the famous Helgian prima donna, whom European musical critics have hailed ns thu "Now Queen of Song." TJ The Now Kdison Diamond Disc Phonograph. And Thomas A. Kdison. He nlono knew of tho revolution to come; of tho human voice with nil its rango, its sweetness, its mellowness, its sym puthy nud pathos coming from the instrument he hud created. Miss Verlct stood beside the New Kdison Diamond Disc Phonograph. Mr. Kdison s.nt with his head bowed upon his hand. There came tho clear notes of the beautiful song, "Giro Nome," from '"lUgolotto." Which wns singing, phonograp or lady? Tho ear could not distinguish. Only the eye could discern that Miss Vcrlet's lips wcro not moving. Tho Kdison Diamond Disc was singing; nloue. Then n grcutor volume but only a greater voliuno Miss Verlet joined her voice with the singing of tho Kdison Diamond Disc. Two voices exacllv the same two were singing together. No one among the .100 could toll which was the more clear or distinct, or moro full of feeling. 4j The song volume decreased. The ear heard but one voice. The eye must tell again. Miss Verlet's lip-j wore moving. It was she who was singing. Faces were lit up with surprise even with amazement u modem miracle was happening just before them! The phonograph and the lady continued their duet to thu cud. Kutlm-i- iimii, almost unbounded, ran through the audience. P Conic in and listen. PALMER'S PIANO PLACE Exclusive Agent, 17 fJ.
