INSTALL HEATING
PLANT IN CO. JAIL
The work of installing a heating
plant at the county Jail, and putting
Iron screens over the windows is un
der way. The latter improvement was
recommended by four grand jury re
ports, before any action resulted, be
sides being requested regularly by
Sheriff Terrlll. The sheriff maintain
ed that it was too easy to converse
and pass things inside, from the out
side, and others maintained the screens
made it too dark In the bastlle. Tho
heating plant will be in operation In
ten days or two weeks.
' The Installation of the heating plant
puts a quietus on a thrilling era in
Jaekson county prison life. Several
prisoners finding imprisonment irk
some around the stove, would drop a
stick of wood on the jailer's head and
depart. The frequency of departure
caused a close watch on the woodpile,
so the incarcerated gents changed
their tactics. The last batch got loose
by prying off a section of the roof.
Medford post of the American Le
gion last night got away to a flying
start for the new year, a large numbar
of veterans being present to take part
in the installation of officers and dis
cuBsidn of the proposed activities uf

Kid being willing and everything. The
Kid took the place of a colored gen
tleman originally billed to box four
rounds with Carlson.
Tho curtain raiser was a wrestling
match between Young Hooker and
Young Hogan. Hogan had the science
and Hooker had the strength, and won
tho event.
Wrestler Schnridau made a short
speech before the show started, ex
pressing regret thai liylund was un
able to appear, also that the colored
gentleman had failed to materialize.
Hen no Win u wild anybody who wanted
their money back could go to the box
office and get It, if they did not care
to Btuy under those, conditions, but
none went.
' There wore about 250 fans pres

FEAR FOR SUPPLY
OF OREGON FISH
PORTLAND, Ore.. Jan. 9 The num
ber of fish In the Columbia river and
its tributaries, will be cut In half un
less the government changes-its plans
for the Priest Rapids ' power plant,
near Ellensburg, Wash., according to
Dr. Thomas Ross, member of the Ore
gon state fish commission, who re
turned here today from Seattle,
whence lje said an informal protest
against the plans for the project was
sent to the government by the United
States bureau ot fisheries, the Wash
ington fish commission and the Ore
gon fish commission.
The proposed dam, he said, would
block the stream against salmon, steel
head, sturgeon, silversides and all
trout. Not only would the salmon In
dustry find Its income cut In halt, but
sportsmen would find that fishing
streams which feed the Columbia
would suffer, said Dr. Ross.
