MEDFORD MATTJ TPTDTTNF. MF-DFORP. ORFrtON". THURSDAY. .TANTARY 1". 19:20 FATIFi TnRFF E 'T A I p c'n being q u e s i i o no il in re s a r d to the orders received yesterday by Captain Canaday from the adjutant general of Oregon, announcing the transfer of the local infantry com pany to the coast artillery service. Captain A. J. Vance stated today that the whole matter is us much a sur prise to him as any cue else, lie also received a copy of the order announcing his appointment as com manding officer, with the rank of major of the coast artillery battalion (A Oregon which had been organized under orders of the war department, and composed of companies stationed at Ashland Medford, Marshfield and Newport. Medford has been designated as the headquarters of the battalion, and carries with it the appointment of a major, captain, two lieutenants, a sergeant major and u number of non-commissioned officers of various grades. As the const artillery forces fn Oregon, under the present plans of the war department, contemplate only one battalion of four companies, ull mutters pertaining to the admin istration of the battalion will be di rected from the battalion headquar ters, which, under the orders, -has been located in '.Medford. iVith reference to the transfer of Company D to the coast artillery ser vice, Captain Vance states that he has no' information whatever on the subject and is not interested in the subject one way or another, as any connection with the worries of a company commander are matters of entire indifference to him, having served in that capacity a number of :ars and he has all he wants of it. Ho expressed the opinion however, that the war department was not in the habit of asking what officers or men 'would like to dot but issued its orders In the interests of the service. However, it would no doubt be a dis appointment to the local company to go into the coast artillery service if they preferred to remain in the in fantry, alt ho the other three com panies had petitioned the war de partment to transfer them to the coast artillery, he understood. He has not given the matter of his ap pointment as major any thought at1 all, and desires to investigate just what the position involves before again being tied up in the military service, iNo information was contained In the war department order announc ing the appointment of the captain and two lieutenants connected with the battalion, hut it is understood that the appointments are to be made from the four companies com-1 posing the coast artillery battalion, ! of which Mr. Vance has been design ated as commanding officer.

'l'ui(l in Advance," ltiulto "Paid in Advance." the new offer ing which opened at the Hialto thea tre yesterday, is a play fraught with immense dramatic po-asibilitics which are amply disposed of by a notable cast of players supporting Miss Phil lips' splendid work. The play Itself is the pictnrization of one of the popular stories of the Canadian northwest and tho Klon dike, which have made James Oliver Curwood ony of the most widely read writers in this country. One period of the play transpires during the gold rush days of 1S97, -when men laid down ledger, pen trowel and saw, and joined oilier' adventurous spirits who were lured to tho bleak snow laden regions to search for gold. Tho strong supporting cast was put at the disposal of Allen J. Ilolitbur, who directed the pro-duction, among them being several players who are stars in their own right. Priscilla Dean, herself one of Cnivermil's most popular favorites, is cast as a half breed Canadian girl a veritable trouble maker. William Stowell, who played oppo site Miss Phillips in many of her fc.T mer triumphs, has the leading male role in "Paid in Advance." l.on Chaney, famous as a portrayer of extreme characterization, makes strong part of Hateese Le Wane, a jealous half-breed.

NO PROSPECT OF LOIR PRICES Prof. Irving Fisher, of the depart ment of economics, Vale university says: "Prices are not coming di.wn in America. The manufacturer who is halting upon tho theory that the bot tom is Kointf to drop out of raw ma terial will find the bottcai out of his business before it is out of raw ma terial. The retail merchant who is waiting until he can purchase cheap- er goods will have his store closed by the sheriff and no way to get the cheaper goods u'po'n his shelves. "Tho man who has denied himself and stinted himself during the period of the. war and is now husbanding his resources upon the theory that prices are going to take a tumble, may suc ceed in washing his shirt to shreds before he can buy a much cheaper one." iT THE TRIBUNE'S ADVERTISING "I am more convinced than over that newspaper advertising pays and is a very essential part of any busi ness," said J. C. Mann, when u rep resentative of this paper called on him and explained the necessity of increased advertising rates, "and I propose to spend more money this year than ever for advertising altho you have to increase your rates. I have set aside n 'certain percent of my gross receipts each year for ad vertising and find it a big invest ment. If all the merchants of Med ford would do tho same, business would greatly increase for everyone." Asked about his January clearance sale this year. Mr. Mann said: "It's a hummer. The first day last Satur day, was one of the biggest day's busines3 I have ever had in .Medford and the sale is progressing wonderfully." A. J. Green was one of tho flranls Pass visitors in the city who returned home 'Wednesday.
