Tho accidental drowning of Carl,
tho 13 yenr old son of Mr. and Mrs.
C. W. WUIUock of Ihla city. In tho
Rogue River near tho Gold Ray dam
yesterday afternoon put a tragic end
to the family outing, tho first they
had ever had at the river. Tho body
has not yet been recovered. The
father Is the well known business
man and proprietor of the Golden
Rulo store, and tho sympathy of a
large circle of friends and acquain
tances goes out to the family In their
sad ' bereavement. Tho Whillock
home is at B 17 South Newtown
street. ': - f
Mr. and Mrs. Whillock with their
children, including Mrs. Clarence
Evans,, their married daughter and
Mr. Evans, their son Alfred and his
wife, and Mrs. C. W. Wnlllock's sis
ter, Mrs. C. W. Elson and children
who are Stalling here from Missouri
wore enjoying the day at the river.
Early in the afternoon they scattered
about in. groups along the stream.
Mrs. Evans and her brother Carl
were enjoying themselves on the
oast bank of the river a quarter of a
mila below tho danf with Mr. Evans
1 at a considerable' distance below, that
point and the parents and others a
hatf mile away. The boy was out on
the rocks close to the shore, and
Just' before the accident happened
was cautioned by his sister to be
careful as the rocks were, slippery. -
All of a sudden Carl was seen to
stoop down presumably to catch a
crawfish between two rocks when he
apparently becanro overbalanced and
was seen to plunge head foremost
Into tho river which was quite high
and Is said to be about from 10 to 15
feet deep at this point. After disap
pearing under the water his head
came up once and that was the last
seen of him. It is thought' that his
body may have been carried by the
swift water miles from the place
where he went down.
Volunteer searchers with drags
and- poles, including Coroner John
Perl, searched the river until dark
last night. The search was resumed
this' rooming. -
Mrs. Whillock and Mrs. Evans are
almost prostrated at "the untimely
death of) the son and brother. Alfred
WhillocK spent Saturday in assisting
in the search for the body. .

PURCHASE X-RAY
FOR SACRED HEART
The government recently address
ed a letter to the Sacred Heart hos
pital asking as to tho prospects of
gelling an X-ray machine, together
with a laboratory outfit. The ob
ject In making the Inquiry is that
many war hospitals are being aban
doned and tho Inmates will be sent
to such Institutions turnout the
country as can handle them satisfac
torily. An answer wna about to be
returned that there was no prospect
whatever for securing such an equip
ment, when Dr. Sweeney asked that
the answer be delayed until ho could
see Just what he eould accomplish.
He estimated that the X-ray would
cost about 1 1000, for which purpose
the following parties contributed
$100 each: Dr. Chas. T. Sweeney.
Will G. Steel. Mrs. A. Keliehor, Dr.
Henry Hart, John S. Orth, John A.
Perl, Frank M. Radovan, J. Gagnon,
C. J. Haas and Dr. P. C. Donovan.
For the purpose of securing the
necessary laboratory equipment and
for Installation, Mrs. J. F. Reddy and
Mrs. C. L. Schleffelin have raised by
voluntary subscriptions over $500,
which will be increased as may be
necessary to meet every requirement
for the best outfit that is available
In the market.

tatoes, tomatoes, beans and other
garden produce generally in Medford
and vicinity, especially in the low
lands along Bear creek. Tho full ex

I am accepting this agency under the firm opinion that the CHANDLER is the very best car made for the money. The CHANDLER has many features and parts that
cost from one to three thousand dollars more on many other makes of car3. - .
The CHANDLER is closely priced. You cannot buy-any other car of similar worth for less and for other cars which may be compared with the CHANDLER you
; are asked to pay much more. These are facts and PROVABLE FACTS.
The CHANDLER is not only durable but is one of the most beautiful care built. Greatest of all anti-friction devices known' to engineering science is the ANNULAR
BALL BEARING. ANNULAR BALL BEARINGS are used in the following: Front'and rear wheels. Transmission and Differential are the same as used in the Packard,
