MEDFORD MATE TRIBUNE.
OF THE SISKIYOUS
In keeping with Mcdford being a
garrison city, the Southern Pacific
dejwt -presented a military apiear
once this morning, due to the pres
ence there of fifty-five C company
soldiers iu heavy marching order
with guns stacked on the platform
nnd the arrival a few minutes later
of forty officers of the engineer re
serve corps of the anny en route to
France, who juuijwd off the train for
exercise.
Today was change day with C
company, when the seventy-seven
members of the company on duty
guarding the tunnels and bridges in
the Siskiyous nnd in the Lcland-Wolf
Creek territories, are relieved from
their two weeks' turn nt this duty by
a similar number of soldiers from
the company camp here. The soldiers
marched to the depot in two squads.
The Siskiyou detail boarded the first
section of southbound train 13 and
the other detail northbound train 14.
The latter was lute and both trains
reached the depot at the -same time.
Change Day In Siskiyous.
Because the first section of train
IS was filled with passengers, there
was a delay in getting the Siskiyou
detail on bonrd, nnd fairly well ac
commodated, and in the meantime
the (second section pulled in, making
three pussenger trains at the depot
at the same time. '.'' .
On board the second section were
the forty officers of the Engineer's
reserve corps en route from the Van
couver barracks and Clackamas, Or.,
where they have been in training, for
the Presidio in Snn Francisco. They
will Rtnrt on their journey eastward
nnd for France on September 1. In
France they will nt once begin to as
sist in the work of rehabilitating the
railroads nnd in building water sys
tems. All these officers linve just been
commissioned. When Captain Cross
ley of C company saw them a few
weeks ago in the training camps they
were nil privates. Now they un
commissioned captains and lieuten
ants. . -
Corporal Neil Ifalnrkey nnd First
Class Private Dan Malnrkoy of C
coinpany also boarded train 14 today
en route for Clackamas, they having
been detailed for special duty -nt the

NITIAL MEETING
If the first fulr full meeting of the
new school board with every member
nnd Superintendent llillis present,
and with the new clerk, Frank E.
Redden, on duty, held .Inst night nt
the high school building, can be ac
cepted ns a criterion, the relations
between the members of the boifrd
nnd officers will lie characterized by
complete harmony and co-oeration.
Clerk's Salary Fixed.
'Clerk Redden called the attention
of the board to the fact that at its
meeting two weeks ago the minutes,
as written by the former dork, Mr.
Stein, merely stated that he was
elected clerk, but did not state for
how long nnd at what salary. It
seems that the board in the excite
ment of dcmsing Mr. Stein und elecf
ing Mr. Redden forgot nil about these
little matters.
The situation was quickly remedied
and Redden was elected to the office
for a year nnd his salary was fixed
at $250.
When Superintonilent llillis was
re-elected a year ago for a period of
four years nt'$22f0 a year, his con
tract contained the stipulated salary,
but Jlint little matter was inadvert
antly left out of the minutes of the
minutes of the meeting, and because
of this eiich year in August the board
must take special action voting the
salnry. Inasmuch as no action had
been taken yet on the matter. Clerk
Redden, in order to, protect himself
from possible, trouble, was held back
from drawing the July salary
voucher for Superintendent llillis.
This situation wus also remedied.
Sanitation in Schools.
Dr. Porter brought up the subject
of sanitation" and ventilation in the
schools. All members of the hoard
were agreed that something should he
done ns soon as )aossihle to make the
school rooms of the city more healthy
for the pupils, and as it is too late to
install ventilating systems in. the
buildings this year, the bonrd did the
next best thing nnd ordered a barrel
of powerful disinfectant for use in
the rooms nnd about the halls nnd
offices. A potuinittee on sanitation
was also appointed to investigate in-

to the situation and dpcide on meas
ures to partially remedy the evil.
It develoied during the discussion
that there wus not a modern school
building in the city, aud that all
rooms were ventilated only by the
opening of windows and doors, which
method is porlifie of drafts nnd has
helped along the spread of contag
ious diseases which has resulted an
nually in the closing of one or more
buildings for short H-riods.
Xo 'Closing of Schools.
The bonrd was unanimous in its
resolve to have no closing down of
any school this year on ncconnt of
contagions disease. They will re
quire that whenever n pupil upears
ill in school the teacher must send
the child home, and the child cannot
return to school until a medical ex
amination shows that he or she is
free from a contagious disease or
symptoms.
The matter of purchasing the
winter supply of fuel for heating the
schools was discussed nt length. The
board would much prefer the use of
wood to coal, even tho the latter is
cheaper, as coal is dirtier and more
unsanitary. Wood dealers are back
ward about bidding, and it was fin
ally decided to appoint Mr. Phipps
as n' special committee to visit vari
ous timber sections in this part of
the state and endeavor to make ar-
rangements for n wood supply at j
reasonable figures.
The board allowed the payment of j
a number of hills end took action
relating to repairs and puinting of!
the various buildings. The purchase
of supplies needed for the school
year was also authorized.
