News of the death of Rutherford!
Kerr at Long Beach. Calif., was re
ceived lu the city yesterday. Mr.
Kerr was well known in Medford,
having formerly been connected with
the local postoffice. He was a' grad
uate of the Medford high school. He
hsd been a sufferer from rheumatism
'or years and was transferred from
the local postoffice to the Long Beach
office in hope that the change of cli
mate would benefit him. However,
last July he had to enter a sanitar
ium at Long Uracil, and his condi
tion gradually grew worse ' until
death relieved his sufferings. His
father, Alexander Kerr, and his sis
ter Margaret, were at his bedside at
the time of death.
AS BAPTIST PASTOR
lU'V. Frederick V. I'nrsten-, pas
tor of the baptist church of .Medford
for the past three vears, hits handed
in his i'ormul resignation as pnstor.
Action on the resignation will be
taken nt the regular meeting- of the
church congregation this cvciiin:
and the general opinion seems to he
that the resignation will not he uc
eepted.
Hev. Mr. Carstens left for a visit
to North Yiikimn, Wash., this morn
ing, to be absent over Sunday. Al-
tho much improved in health since his
breakdown uhuut a year ago, lte
feel that he needs rest from the
eares of pastoral duties and that to
drop ministerial work entirely and
devote himself to the business of
conducting" his three ranches would
thoroly restore him to health. He
owns n ranch nt North Yukima, one
in California and another in eastern
Oregon.
This is the second time Rev. Mr.
Carstens has held the pastorate of
the local church, he heintr pastor here
twelve years ago, when he resigned to
take a professorship in McMinnville
college.

MAKING ENVIABLE
Dr. J. Lawrence Hill has received
the following acknowledgment of
gifts sent the boys of Seventh com
pany from Captain Vance at Fort
Columbia, givim.' detnils of encamp
ment life. The letter, dnted Septem
ber 20, is as follows :
"I will take advantage of the Sat
urday hulf holiday from military du
ties to acknovv ledge your very kind
letter to the men of the Seventh com
pany accompanying the gift of hooks,
ond to express the appreciation of
the entire company for your kind and
generous remembrance. ' Such let
ters as you have written to them are
not often received by a military com
pany, I imagine, and it is most gnit
ifvins to know that one of the friends
of the company has their welfare at
heart to nn extent that prompts such
splendid advice as you have given
them. I'pon receipt of your letter T
read it to the entire assembled com
pnny, nnd it appeared to leave a deep
impression on them.
Company Is Healthy.
"I believe you will he interested in
learning in regard to the semi
monthly physical examinations given
the men. along the lines touched upon
in your letter, and it will be gratify
ing, I know, to you to lenm thnt in
these regular inspections since com
ing to Kort Columbia not one case of
venereal disease has been found in
the Seventh company. I understrnd
that our company has established n
record in this respect in these de
fenses. "Neither lias there been a single
case of intoxication charged ngninst
a member of the company another
record, at least at Kort Columbia,
where members of both of the other
companies have had cases of court
martini nnd summary court trials of
their men, or penalties assessefl
against them.
"o Personal Kncounters.
"I might go further nnd say that
there has not been a single instance
of versonnl encounter between nny
of the men of the Seventh company,
v. hich betokens a spirit of comrno.c
ship not always found in a military
company. To such splendid let:crs
as you have written to us can no
doubt be attributed in no small de
gree this excellent showing. To know
that there are friends at home wish
ing for ami believing iu their upright
ness cannot fail to produce a re
sponse in the right direction on their
part,
'1 believe you will nlso be interest
ed in knowing something iihonl t ie
church services which are held ii-re
each Sunday for t e benefit of the
men. Our chaplain is Captain Will
nrd A. F.lkins, a minister from Mon
mouth, "r.., who has a happy fac
ulty of reaching the men in 1 way
that is most unusual. He has been
in the national guard since the Sptn-ish-Atieiicun
war. and in that con
flict was nn enlisted man in tlte
ranks, so you can see he knows hew
to advise i.nd svmpnthire wit'i the
men. If the ctures we an taking
for the '.n.'ies' Auxiliary a'? exhib
ited in Medford you will see one of
the open-air church services hell
here.
Hooks in the Library.
''"fiie books you sent us have been
put in our library and make a splen
did addition to the many nlret.dv
given us by other friends. Jtc men
appreciate good books more than any
thing thnt can be sent to them. We
are having a great deal of rainy
weather, which confines the men to
the tents sometimes for several i'.avs
ut a time, and t he daily grind of mil
itary instructions becomes extrerr.ely
monotonous.
"Thanking you again on behalf of
the commy for your efforts in our
behalf and with kind icrsinnl re
gards and wishes, I am, sineere'v.

FIRST OF SIXTEEN
T
The first of the sixteen military
trains:hat will pass thru this city
in theVext few days en route bearing
the third contingent of California's
drafted men to the American Lake,
Wash., cantonment, went thru Med
ford nt ;1a'l(l o'clock this morning. The
soldiers breakfasted nt Ashland. Two
more trains will go thru this after
noon nnd will make short stops nt
Grants Pass, whererif cheon will be
served the soldiers, i ,
John M. Scott, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, who
was in the city a few minutes this
morning while en route from San
Francisco to Portland, said that dur
ing the moving of this contingent of
9000 or more troops there would-be
far less disorganization of regular
passenger and freight service than
two weeks ago, and that the military
trains will lie handled more expedi
tiously. "All around, we have profited by
our exjierieuee in handling the first
big military contingent, and we now
have things so systematized that
there will be little confusion or de
lay," said Sir. Seott. "Indeed. I
don't expect to be on the job this time
nt all in looking after the handling
of the trains."
Most of the moving troops will be
served meals at Roseburg and Al
bany on reaching those cities, while
many will be fed at Ashland and
Grants Pass.
The quartermasters' department of
the army did not eten make an in
quiry this time as to whether Med
ford could feed any of the soldiers.
The geographical location of this city
and the times the military trains
reach here make it inadvisable to
stop trains here for meals. Ashland,
being the end of the division and lo
cated nt the foot of the Siskiyou, i-c
a natural stopping place to dine the
soldiers.
When, just before the first con
tingent of troops two weeks ago be
gan to move northward from Califor
nia, the quartermaster's department
wired Medford asking if this city
could feed many of the soldiers, that
department had got mixed im in its
