Kurd, pas senger, on front sent and Mrs. Henry Lord, passenger on rear seat, all of Iluqumm, Wush., was struck by Kx tra Eust II.VI1 on road crossing just south of the city limits of Medford.

Neither crew had been on duty in excess of the lli hour limit. Approaching scene of accident, track is- tangent for several miles and runs about 30. degrees northwest I!oad is stnhight approaching cross ing, and automobile was traveling east. Might of way is CO feet wide nnd view in this case obstructed by an orchard, but when 58 feet from center of track, driver can sec train cbout a rpiarter of a mile a way. When 52 feet from track, man can see train a mile away, and when 31 feet from track, can see several miles. This rend connects with acific highway .just east of the crossing. Railroad crossing sign in place nnd plainly in view, also approach warning sign as required by stnte luw. "Train sounded crossing whistlo at usual place and bell was ringing au tomatically approaching the crossing. Automobile approached from flre nians' 6lde and was first seen about 30 yards from tho track, and was probably traveling 20 miles an hour, which speed was apparently continued until automobile was within about ten foot of track, when occupant of roar seat evidently discovered tho ap proaching train and driver attempted Advance in Milk Prices Owing to tlio incroased pricos in feed, labor and dairy supplies the Mcdford dairies will increase their price on all milk begiunlng July 1st, 1918. 1 quart, 12', 4c by the month; sllifilo at 13c. 1 pint, 7c by the month. 2 qunrts J7.00 30 day month. 3 quarts $10.00 30 day month. .

Tho human consumption of barley. corn, and oats and advances of nearly IS per cent in tho past few months and shortago of alfalfa has mado the production of milk a losing 'business and In order to protect the city milk supply wo deem it necessary at this time to raise tho price. Another change will have to be in ado If tho public is not more prompt with their bottles. The boltlo losses in Mcdford is something appallng, and tho shortage of glass 1s so acute that wo havo to have an order In for snvon or eight months to havo It filled, and In some cases we have to Rather up our bottles before each de livery to havo enough bottles. In somo of tho cities they have adopted a rnlo of no bottle no milk and III somo countries they drive the cows around to the customer, lint ow ing to the early hours kept by tho dairyman this rule would bo some what Impracticable.
