TO LOCAL JUDGE
Mrs. Vera "Depew of Portland. Ore
gon, mother of Charles Dopew, ar
rested in a local hotel on a bootleg-ping-
charge two weeks ago haa ad
dressed a letter to the county judge,
asking for leniency for her boy, who
is held pending further charges. 'I
know he is no angel," the lultcr reads,
"but he was always good to me. and
if in your wisdom you can find It pos
sible to spare him the brand of a jail
bird, it would ease a mother's aching
heart." No action is expected on tho
plea.
Tho circuit court will meet Monday,
March 10th. at ten o'clock, and the
following jury list haa been drawn for
service at tho term:
Mary Schuchard. Phoenix: Henry

work out preparatory for his match
Wednesday with Ous Schneidau. Sam
is in fine shape and seems to feel
confident of his ability to toss tho
southern Oregon mat man again.
Gus is determined to redeem htm
self in tomorrow's match. tHe claims
he was not in the best of trim when
he lost to the English boy at the last
wrestling smoker in Medford and be

This Is Prune Week
Iam1 Fraud Probe Next.
" WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. The post
office sub-committee charged with
Investigating Senator Hcflin's allega
tions of land frauds in tho-lower lilo
Oranne valley, decided today to begin
hearings next week.
Portland, made a decided hit with
fans of that city in spite of tho fact
that he lost a hard fought match
with Ted Thye. Clapham came near
to securing the American tltlo from
the Portland boy, so he is without a
doubt, a top-notcher in wrestling
circles. ' .
Wednesday's smoker, which will be
staged at tho Gold Hill Pavilion, will
not be one sided by any means. The
program will be introduced by
wrestling match ' between "Shorty"
Conrad of Medford and "Frenchy" of
Gold Hill. However, the special event
will feature a six round fight between
Chauncey Hooker of Medford and
Ray Reuger of Ashland. Rcuger
kayoed Chauncey at the Medford Gym
last week, so the return fight should
be well worth seeing.

WHAT SENATOR BORAH SAID:
"A few mornings ngo, Mrs. Borah noticed in
n newspaper an account of a "movie" called
'The Covered Wagon.' We imagined it was .
something in the nature of a presentation of tho
great western lifo and so one evening we went
to see it, and it is a magnificent presentation.
Those who contrived tho great presentation had
imbibed the spirit of the great western pioneers,
and it is now being presented to eastern audiences,
and I am ck-lightcd to sBy gathers, night after
night, thousands upon thousands of people to
pay silent tribute to the great builders of the
greatest commonwealth of the world."
From Senator Borah's Speech at the Kigby,
(Idaho) Pioneer Celebration. ,
WHAT THE SEATTLE STAR SAID: '
"If all the thousands of motion pictures that
have been produced, and all the enormous thea
tres that have been erected to show them, and
all the millions of dollars that havo been invested
in tho industry, were suddenly blotted from the
face of the earth, then the vast treasure so spent
would have been well invested if only one film,
'THE COVERED WAGON',' survived to posterity.
It stands pre-eminent from sheer immensity of
theme."
