Drs. Kiddle and Porter ulso de clared emphatically for n raise in teachers' salaries, especially in the high school. Air. Nordwick also de clared in favor of this, but deemed Hint it would he unwise lo raise the salary of any teacher or teachers who had been hired for the eimiin" year and who hail already signed eon Iraels. lie also pointed out (hat thisl Mould not be done unless the state of finances permitted it. Air. Palmer held much the same views as Air. Nordwick. No net ion was taken, but Die board will give the niatler very careful eon sideriition. The new board member: are especially anxious that promises inaile certain teachers a year ago of a substantial raise, but later repudi ated because of financial straits, be carried out if possible. Hoard In Patriotic. The board iiiianituously voted to give Principal ('miner, of the Wash ington school, indefinite leave of ab sence, ami lo retain his position for him until the idose of Ihe war or until he returns from the war. Principiil ('miner enlisted in the Seventh com pany shortly al'ler war was declared, lie is at present visiting relatives in l.os Angeles. The matter of purchasing wood for the., schools mid repairs on the high school healing system were also dis cussed. Mids for furnishing wood will be advertised for at once. "Why, certainly I'll not make n legal fight to retain Hie position of clerk," said Mr. Sline, following the meeting. "During my four years in the office I have served Hie office conscientiously and to the best of my ability. "Hul the new hoard feels that it wants another man for the position, and I will put no stumbling block in liiission on .its way. .Mr. lieddin, Ihe new clerk. iscnsii of I is an able mail ami a good man, mid that the cf- will make an excellent official.

Moilford waa Bnuhbed by the mem bers of the Belgian commission to the United States, perhaps uninten tionally, who passed thru Medford on train 13 at 9:05 tills forenoon, and remained In tho city five minutes. The blame for the snub lies In some way with the Portland chamber of commerce. Yesterday morning, on learning that tho commission would pass thru Medford on today's train, enroute to San Francisco from Portland, May or Gates sent a telegram to the com mission in care of tho chamber of commerce of Portland, Inviting the commission to be the guests of the city In an automobile ride from Med ford to either Ashland or Ilornbrook, where they could again hoard the same train on which they would get off at Medford. Invitation Not Answered. No answer has yet been received to tho telegram, and none probably will ho. All arrangements had beon made to meet the train but this morn ing, no answer having come either ac cepting or refusing tho invitation, Mayor Gates and tho other prominent citizens, who had planned the small reception and tho ride, feeling the snub keenly, called the affair off and did not even appear at the depot. Tho commission occupied two spe cial ears attached to the rear of the first section of train 13, but not one of its members appeared on the plat forms of tho closed cars or even luoked out of a window during the five minutes' stop of the train. Nei ther did 'Hugh Gibson of the stute department nor any of the other American officials with tho party. Surprise txi l'aiiy. A young man sitting on the rear platform of the last coach seemed very much surprised when asked why none of the party appeared, and when told of the nvltation and evident snub said that- there must be a mis take of some kfnd, as he was positive that no one on board had ever heard of the Invitation. He ventured the further Information that the members lot the commission were all tired out from the reception and entertainment given them at Portland yesterduy, and that most of them were not yet up. Assistant Superintendent Connolly of the Southern Pacific, from Port land, who had charge of the two spe cial cars and all arrangements along tho route, finally appeared on the platform. He, too, was astonished to learn of the Medford Invitation, said that It was all news to him and that he was sure that none of the party on board had ever heard of It. Wlio Members Aio. It is probable that Mayor Gates will write to the Portland chamber of commerce for an explanation of why tho telegram was not delivered. The commission was the guest of tho Port land chamber all day yesterday and until a late hour last night. Membors of the Delglan party are: Baron Moncheur, chief of the special mission to the United States; Lloilten- ant-General LcClercq, chief of the Belgian military mission to the Uni ted States; Major Ostorrloth, battal ion commander of the First regiment of guides in the Belgian army; Hugh Gibson, representing the state depart ment of the United States; Captain T. C. Cook, United States army, military aide from the United States army to General LeClorcq; and James C. Whitney, of the Belgian legation In the United States. "Th.
