However, to offset this, they pnfcsed u resolution lo pnrcha.-e the liiuh school band a bit; bass horn, and authorized Super intendent Hillis to make all necessary purchases of eiiiipment for ihe hih school and rade schools. Much b'.finess was transacted and various improvements suiiestcd, in fdudiiiir Ihe estahlishnu'iit of a niht commercial school, and the hiring of a part of the Xatntorium in which to teach the pupils physical instruction.

I Many of the school teachers, fol lowing the loiitr vacation, are tem porarily straiped for funds, and board members have been reiiuested by a number of them lo have the board pa- legislation to advance all teaHiei-- a month's or half monlirs pay. laM-iiiuch as Ihe present state of the treasury would not permit this am no salaries can lie paid un til the school's share of tlie recent half yearly tax payments has been reeived from the county treasurer, which may no! be for several weeks, the bojird would be unable to advance salaries without borrowing the nec essary money. Tli ere lure, the members, deeming tluil the ,-redil of the leaehers was jic-t us uootl as the board's dodged around I lie isae and se cminuly granted the teachers' request by passing a resolution to pay the en tire hi'M mouth s salary just as soon as funds are available. This was done with perfectly sol emn faces, and then as the absurd ity of the resolution's meaning all at once dawned noon them, tlie buand members had to snicker a little. J Tor Vifilit School. The possible need for a commercial nijiht sclioid, now that there is no commereial college in Medford, was brought up liy Superintendent Hil lis.

Other incinher- were rather non-eommitlal, beyond aiireeinu- that a niht sidiool would be a yood tiling. I A resoliitmn was finally passed to have a special committee appointed to investigate into the subjeet from all angles and make a report at a special uiceiiujj of ihe hoard to be called as soon as (heir report was; ready, Mr. Xordwick acting as pres ident of the board in the absence of Mr. Palmer, appointed Mr. Phipps and Ir.

In the meantime the board desires thaj the citizens L'eiierally make known their wishes in the matter to Superintendent Hillis, as well as all persons who feel that they would like to attend such a nijiht school. Superintendent I lillis reported to the board 'that the lotal enrollment for this year up to Ihe present time in the Med ford schools was 71 less than last year. The present enroll ment is HMKi nnd !nt year's was 1K(7. The hijrh" school enrollment now is ;tJfl, as eomparied with 'MH last year. However, because of the apportionment of many hiurh school students in tin frraile buildings, there are L'(ir students nt the hi-h school buildintr, whereas last vear there were L'liO in the building. Still the building is too crowded for the vari ous hih school' activities. Altho there is a physical instructor! vet the lack of a suitable room at the I liij:h school huildimr prevents the teaching of Hivsical instruction, Su perintendent Hillis )ioiuted out. Del siiiiiresled that room for teaching physical iiir-triK'tion niiht be rented at t he Nntatonum, in conjunction with the basketball netivil ies.- lr. Porter ami Mr. Phipps were appointed a committee to investigate into this situation and report their findings to the board. -'SALE OF CULL Inr rr tn hold the lino In I'lieek. enlist the nerviees of four mou all day.

So great was the jum of people eager to buy Rogue river pears and apples as offered by the Progressive Iiuslness Men's club at 106 Fifth St. yesterday that Captain .lohn Moore at police headquarters had to be called upon to send a special detail some of the'women would be Injured. The sale was anounced to take place at 9 o'clock. As early as S o'clock people were waiting. Nearly every form of conveyance except wheelbarrows was utilized to carry moved. Apples proved to be the more popu lar. The entire supply of Jonathan and Winter Banana apples were sold within a quarter of an hour after the doors were opened. At 10 o'clock away the purchases. Automobiles and only 100 boxes of pears were left. i.i m.rv.i haskota nerfornieil the and there were 100 people in lino same Bervice. Daintily garbed women and hard worked mothers with chil dren hanging to their skirts competed for places in line. '; The fruit had been Inspected upon its arrival Saturday, but anxiety to make sure that only sound apples and pears would be offered caused the 'Progressive Bupsiness Mens c'lub to waiting to buy. About midnight last night one of Eads' auto fruit trucks, collided with the Cadillac auto being driven by Em erson Merrick, at the corner of Fifth street and Central Avenue. No one was Injured, but Mr. Merrick's car was badly Injured.
