pany's terminus, where 1(10 tons are
now ready for shipment to the smel
ter. The eondilion of the road from
tl0 mine down to the railroad pre
cludes the desired rush of ore for
shipment. "If (Iranfs I'ass had lhat
opportunity," said Dr. Iicddy yester
day, "it would have every man in the
county on that road for a week or two
of work, under competent engineers,
and put it in shape for t ho convey

are coinineadably prone to look for
the main chance. They arc not afraid
to risk a dollar or a day's work of

of miniuj; development lo this south

REFUSES 10 PLAY
Hoacbiir;; he..;, in effect, conceded
tho statu basketball title to Medford,
having refused to meet tho local
team on a neutral floor In a contest
to settle tho championship claim.
Coach Klum opened negotiations
with Ted Jewett, captain of the
Roseburg team, to play either one or
two games on the University of Ore
gon floor at Eugene next week. This
Roseburg refused to do, stating that
they will play no games off their
home floor.
This means that the last games of
the season to be played by the locals
will bo wlt,h Ashland this week, Fri
day night, on tho local floor and Sat
urday night at Ashland.
An article in the Roseburg Review
contains the following account of the
negotiations:
"On a recent visit to Medford, the
local high school team was defeated
two out of three games. The Rose
burg boys later went to Salem, and
while there won the trophy which
probably entitles them to the cham
pionship of the state. The honor is
disputed by the members of the Med
ford team, however, and they now de
mand that they be allowed an oppor
tunity to meet the Roseburg five on
a neutral floor. Mr. Jewett this aft
ernoon wrote a letter to the manager
of the Medford team in which the lat
ter was informed that the Roseburg
boys would gladly accommodate tho
southern Oregon boys In the event
tho games were played in this city.
Because of the lateness of the sea
son, the Roseburg five has practical
ly disbanded and they do not feel like
making a trip to Eugene or any oth
er distant city."
