In 1916 Jackson county officials de

taxes had not been paid. An agree
ment was made with the city of Med
ford to sell to tho city all property
within tho city limits to protect tho
city on Its street liens. County of
ficials found that the taxes on a strip
of the postoffico property 20 by 125
.feet or a strip 20 feet wide running
along tho alleyway for "125 feet, had
not been paid. They were J60.23.
- The county took over tho property
and attempted to sell It to the city.
Fehl brought suit to enjoin the sale
arid won out on tho grounds thnt
there were no slroct liens against tho
.tovernmcnt property. Fehl then Ho
noured tUIo for about $145. 'J ho as
sessed value of tho property at that
time was $900..
Attornoys for Fehl have notified
XJnltod States Attorney Lester W.
Humphreys that their client owns
tho proporty and Intends to tako pos

Ten thousand dollars damages is
asked of S. 1).. Sandefer, agent of the
Oregon Anti-Saloon league, in a suit
filed at Portland Thursday afternoon
by George P. Jones of Portland,
through his attorney, Isham N. Smith.

near the .McLeod bridge on the high
way between Medford and Crater
lake, Sandefer stopped him while he
wag driving his automobile and made
an illegal search of his automobile
- and clothes.
Snndofor is alleged to have roprc
sentod himself to he a deputy from
Sheriff Murlburt's office in Portlund
with specific instructions to arrest
Jones. Jones states that, not caring
to bo guilty of resisting an officer, ho
submitted to arrest under protest, al
though Sandefer had neither search
warrant nor bench warrant.

ill tho newspaper, the complaint al
leges, which has caused Jones con
siderablo embarrassment.
According to the complaint, Jones

ON LEGION RATES
The eastern railroads have granted
a one cent a mile rate to the national
American Legion convention in Kan
sas City, Mo., October 30th to Novem
ber 1st, but the lines in the northwest
have so far refused this rate. If their
attitude is maintained the many mem
bers on the Pacific coast will be ex
cluded from attending.
Chambers of commerce . and city
councils all over the northwest are
passing resolutions protesting to the
railroads of this district against their
action and asking that they grant the
same rate as the eastern roads, and
are sending copies of their resolutions
to tho heads of the railroads.
The Medford city council and chain
her of commerce, as well as those of
Ashland and other southern Oregon
cities are asked to pass resolutions at
their next meeting.
During the past week the Trlgonia
well was delayed In setting casing
awaiting the arrival of a bull rope
wnicn was ordered by wire the 26th
and should have been here the 27th,
but owing to error by shipper, was
shipped by freight in place of by ox-
press as ordered; however it should
be here today.
l no casing is practically set
through tho extramely hard forma
tion, and with the arrival of the now
rope, will be quickly completed.
Now8 of the selection of a drilling
sito east of Med-ford by the Contin
ental Oil company is most gratirviiiE
to tho directors and stockholders of
the Trlgonia. The sito selected is on
the same structure and will prove
some or the leases held by the Troco-
nia. The selection of a sito so near
the location of, the Trlgonia by this
important and experienced comnanv
is In Itself no small commendation of
tne trlgonia test and development on
that end of the structure will mean
much to tho valley in testing its oil
and gas possibilities.
