TRAIT. SAYS T AFT
Stockholders and directors of the
Jackson County Fair association are
to have a meeting this evening at
the Chamber of Commerce headquar
ters for the purpose of giving consid
eration to holding a fair this fall.
The county haB purchased sixty
acres of ground about a mile south
of town and located on the Pacific
Highway. The question of construct
ing exhibit buildings, grandstand and
stock sheds will come up this evening
as well as giving consideration to at
tractions which may be obtained.
If the plans of some of the mem
bers of the fair association work out,
Jackson county will have one of the
best fairs this fall that has over been
held. The morchants will cooperate
In making the evening entertainment
most enjoyable.
Every citizen of the county must
realize that this Is not a Medford
fair, but that it belongs to all of the
people of the county. Its success de
pends upon tho energy they all exert
in furnishings exhibits of grains,
fruits, vegetables and stock.
The Farm Bureau will no doubt
use its influence among its members
especially among the boys and girls
clubs to exhibit their products and
this alone will make a splendid show
ing. If every one in the county gets in
back of this fair movement, the coun
ty fair will be a big success and one
worth while.
Every effort is being made, to have
a county fair this fall and In order
to bring this about, the president was
authorized to appoint a committee to
work with tho Jackson County Fair
association. This committee as nam
ed Includes George A. Mansfield,
chairman, J. C. Drown, UenJ. C. Shel
don, Airs. Hose G. Schieffolin, Mrs.
f. E. Merrick and Wm. F. Isaacs.
WEDDING BELLS
jMerrltt Randies and Nellie ' M.
Perry were quietly married in Jack
sonville, Sunday afternoon, May 9,
1920, at the Presbyterian manse by
Kev. Gammons. The brido is the
daughter of Airs. Lulu Van Wegen of
Ashland and the groom is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Randies of Belle
view. After the ceremony the bride
returned to her school in the Darda
nelles district near Gold Hill, and the
groom to his work in tho Automotlvo
hbp in Ashland.
A resolution was adopted by the
directors of (he Chamber of Com
merce last night urging the coun
ty commissioners to use every
means nt their disposal to Im
prove tho Jacksonville-Provolt road,
especially that portion between Huch
and Provolt. -A committee was ap
pointed to appear before the commis
sioners next Monday to present this
request. It was the opinion of the
members of the board that the people
living In the Applcgate, Ruch and
ProvolS district have not been given
the consideration they are rightfully
entitled to when road matters have
been considered in tho county and
therefore It was decided that Medford
should take up their cause and seek
to aid them with their influence and
energy and endeavor to right the
wrong done them in the past. There
was a sentiment among the board
members that the county commission
ers were not to blame for the lack of
road work in this cfistrlct, because
they have been hampered to a great
extent by lack of funds, however, it
was thought that a solution of the
problem might be worked out by hav
ing a conference with the commis
sioners and this will take place next
Monday.

PORTLAND Intimate ln'ismiai:
friends of Herbert Hoover, who know
the ius-and-outs of his coiumeivinl
ventures, are finding more than a
little amusement in .efforts of those!
who for one political reason oi-
another would profit liv enveloping'
Mr. Hoover in a London atmosphere.
iml if possible, hv ildiipin' his ctimli-
dacv with the Kritish ilnir.
Thev relate the story of the Kuitom
mine, a property wlucii Hoover ownuil
in one of the British colonies.
After estuhlishimr a world-wide
reputation as a supervising minim:
engineer, Mr. Hoover conceived the
ambition to own a irreat mine, and
to build around it a minimr eoinniii
nitv that should he a model of indus
trial organization, as such organiza
tions are built in America. He se
cured a piece of property in Burma
in a region where according to tra
dition the ancient Chinese hud operat
ed rich mines. Mr. Hoover and his
brother invested their professional
earnings of years in this distnvt.
Under their hand n long-abandoned
mine came hack to life, became self
supporting, and by the outbreak of the
war was making money. Surrounded
hv a model community of 25.(100 per
sons the Hoover mine in 11114 was
entering an era of great prosperity,
and an object of great pride to its
owners.
One of the first war acts of the
British government was to make it
illegal for anyone but a British citi
zen to own or control mining prop
erty in the British possessions. Mr.
Hoover had no alternative. To re
liluiuish American citizenship for
British was unthinkable, llis decis
ion was taken immediately and he
and his brother threw their holdings
on the demoralized market, sufferinr
a large financial loss.
Mr. Hobert Taft, the son of the ex
pdesident and a lieutenant of Mr.
Hoover ill relief work, writes to a
friend in California:
'The truth is that Mr. Hoover be
longs that that class of rock-bottom
Americans, which is certainly known
in California, who become more in
tensely American the more they see of
foreign countries. From his very e:
perience abroad and searching knowl
edge of foreign institutions, he has
become Imore truly American than
most men who have never left their
country. He is in fact the most in
tensely American person I know."
