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."
