dorsement of Larger Med-
ford Booklet and Immediate
Movement to Outline New
Program of Activity. . .
At the oiwil meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce at the library lant night,
the Issuance of a large 111 UBtratod
Medford booklot, similar to the book
lots Issued In tho past, was approved
by a vote of 29 to 5, about halt of
those prosont refusing to vote cither
for or against, and a new program or
work for the Chamber of Commerce
was decided upon.
The vote camo at tho end of a long
and talkative session during which
the publicity question was discussed
pro and con, mostly pro, the board
of directors of tho Chambor of Com
merce was both criticized and defend
ed, and there was a record breaking
amount of "milling around " The voto
in no way determines the policy of the
chamber . but was asked moroly to
Hftcure an expression of opinion from
those' present.
, Tho position of thoso who called the
meeting In an offort to seouro a book
let of more valtm to tho community
than tho ono recontly Issued by the
chamber, was fully outlined by Earl
Tumy, tho first speakor, who gave
many interesting points regarding the
uucHtion, Bhowed how tho resourcos of
tho chamber In his opinion justified
the expense of a hotter booklet, and
announced that $700 had already been
raised by the real ostato men, and
more would be forthcoming, to assiBt
In the vonture. Tho present Binall
booklet, tho spoakor maintained was
of Utile If any value.
All for Booklet
J. A..Porry, Dr. F. C. Pago, J. W.
Dressier. W. M. Holmes, Ed White,
C. K. Gates, Bert Anderson and others
supported Mr. Tumy's vlows, all main
taining that the timo had come when
Medford should launch an extensive
publicity campaign for more settlers,
that thoro were scores of pooplo In the
' east and mlddlcwcBt, ready to come to
southern Oregon, and that tho boBt
medium through which to secure them
would bo nn up to (Into llluntruted
booklet. It was- pointed out that tho
establishment of Irrigation, rendored
It economically Imperative that large
tracts bo cut up, and that settlors
must bo secured to take ovor tho smal
ler tracts.
Irrigation Situation
Leonard Carpontlnr, president of the
Medford Irrigation district gave a very
Interesting talk, full of concroto sug
gestions, supKrtcd by facts, showing
that thoro are at present approximate
ly 640 properly owners in tho dlHtrlct,
that the average holding Is 17.6 acres
and that only 44 owners In tho district
have holdings of ovor 60 acres. Mr.
Cnrpontor suggested (hut instead of
putting monoy Into an IliiiHtratod
booklot, which formed a sort of pro
paganda which has been overdone, nnd
a large proportion of which would go
Into the waste basket, It would In his
judgment bo wiser to dovoto that
monoy to making pooplo who nro now
hero prosperous nnd contented thru
semiring expert Information regarding
tho best mothods of Irrigation and the
crops best ariaptod to tho varying soils
and conditions.
' '-'Hen 'Sheldon, president of tho cham
bor of commerce, who. presided, com
plimented Mr. Carpontor upon his
' stand, and declared such ugRetlons
were what the chamber particularly
welcomed. ' "
Prosperity Here Now
Messrs. Anderson, Holmes and
White took Issuo will) Mr. Cnrpenter
regarding tho necessity of irrigation
schools, and tho Intlmution that sot
tlors already horn needed any purlieu
lur aaslstance. Mr. Anderson declared
on some of tho land bo Is managing,
they wore now raising from 2 to 3
tons of alfalfa per ncio on tho flint
cutting, nnd (hut all a man had to
know about water was to turn It on.
Mr. Holmes called attention to the
fuel that local ranchers wero now nils
lug strawberries valued at $1000 kt
uoro, that what was needed was to got
'inoro people hem of the samo kind
Mr. White spoke along tho same lines,
emphasizing tho opKi1uuitlcs already
, here.
Board of Directors Viewpoint
Tho vlow point of the board of direc
tors was outlined by II. I.. Walthor
and Gcorgo Collins, members of the
board. They both said they welcomed
constructive criticisms, but called at
tention to. the fact that a larger book
let than the ono put out was lmixis
Mblo with the financial resources what
they were. It was shown that the
board acted in conformity with tho
expressed wishes of tho members, that
there bad been no expression cither
at the. forum or In tho referendum on
an outline of work, in favor of a larger
booklet, but that if thoso present
would finance the proposition and
dhow that the members of tho cham
ber wished a larger booklet, the board
of directors would Bee that their do
klres were carried out. "Let's not
start anything we can't finish" Mr.
Waither Insisted. " Money talks. Got
OF COmmERC
the money and we will do tho work."
Mr. Waither said such a booklet would

cern at a smaller amount.
Vernon Vawter, member of the
board, then inado a motion that a
rising vote be taken on the proposition
of getting out a larger booklot, and
It. W. Iluhl suggestod that It would he
well before five or six thousand dol
lars bo spent In any form of publicity,
to dctermlno that the booklet form

Other Ships Disappear
WASHINGTON, Juno 21. Govern
ment agents Investigating the Howllt
and LYnrlng ensos, any thoy are baf
fled and tliut thus far thoy havo not
found n single cluo that might lead to
a solution of tho niyntoilcs. Equally
as baffling, they say, nro tho cases of
the llritlsh steamer Alhyn nnd the
lliisslan bnrk Yutn, which disappeared
last full off the North Carolina coast.
Tho Albyn sailed from Norfolk lust
October and never was heard from
again, while tho Yutn when off Hat-
to n 8 sent n radio messago asking for
aid, but when steamers reached tho
position given In tho message nn hour
later, no truce of tho vessel was found
and It Is said sho has never been
heard from since. Iloports to tho gov
ernment nro that the weather was per
fectly calm.
While investigators hero say (hat
they do not take suggestions of bolshe
vik raiders or deep sea pirates ser
iously they add that ono guess Is ns
good us another.
They Inclined to the opinion that tho
two eases will go down In history with
other unsolved mysteries of tho sea
tho greatest of which on record, they
declare, Is that of tho American bark
Murio Celeste, which was found off
tho Azores threo months after she left
Europe In 1872 with nil sails set, un
damaged. In calm weather, but with
tho crow missing.
A boarding party from the ship
which sighted the bark found the tublo
set for dinner with hot eoffeo In tho
pot and everything aboard the ship in
tho same condition It would have boon
had tho crew left only a few minutes
beforo. On a sewing machine was a
waist which tho captain's wifo had
been making while toys used by the
captain's son wero on tho flmr. In
tho fo'ojisllo was a table with playing
cards distributed around as though
members of the crow had leisurely left
a game of cards.
Besides the captain, his wife and
son. there were ten men In the ships
crew. The vessel was taken to port
and again put in service, but shout six
years later she disappeared complete
ly with her crew and no word has ever
to ! OldWi -

PAINS IN
SIDE AND BACK
Caused by Woman's Ills and
Cured by Lydia E.Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Grafton, Pa. "I was troubled with
inflammation and pains in my sides and
DacK. Alter doctor
ing with different
doctors and not get
ting relief, I had al
most given up hopes
when my sister told
me of Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable
Compound, and
knowing thatshe had
really been helped by
it, 1 purchased it. I
was unable to do my
work at that time.
but after taking soveral bottles of the
Vegetable Compound I can now do any
thing about the house or farm that a
woman Bhould do. I have a four months
old baby that is the healthiest and big
gest baby for his age that I have ever
seen. I am willing for my letter to bo
usd for a testimonial to tell other suf
fering women how much your medicine
has done for me, as I give Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound all tho
praise." Mrs. BijiirL. FlSHER,R.D.'l,
Box 37, Grafton, Pa.
Working early and late lifting,
carrying, and the heaviest of houshold
duties is it any wonder that it results in
backaches and kindred ills. But every
woman who suffers as Mrs. Fisher did
should profit by her experience and
give Lydia fi. Pinkham s Vegetable
Compound a fair trial.
