SAVES MEDFORD
FROM BiG FIRE
A minor fire, but which occasioned
much excitement and apprehension for
a short time because of Its location in
the business district, occurred at 8:30
o'clock last night In the one-story old
frame building on Front street at the
corner of Eighth Street, occupied by
the Scotf Second Hand 8Ure. The
one-story framo building immediately
adjoining and occupied by the Scott
store for stock storage was alBo badly
scorched.
Both old buildings were owned by
C, D. Mobley, who had been planning
to tear them down in tho near future
and erect a modern business building
on the site, hach structure was In
sured for HOC and ' because of the
city's building restriction, which does
not permit the repair of such old
frame structures beyond a cost of $25,
Mr. Mobley's loss is complete outside
of the tSOO insurance.
This morning Mr. Mobloy sold both
old structures for $20 to a man on the
latter's agreement to tear the build
ings down at once and cart thorn
away, and Is now in the market to
rebuild a modern business structure
if suitable tenants are found.
The Scott Second Hand Storo proper
had its roof partly burned off and tho
interior badly burned, but the storage
room next door and Its stock was not
badly damaged.
Ray R. Scott carried an Insurance of
$3000 on his second hand and new
Btock in both buildings. His loss Is
estimated at between $1000 and $1500.
He had recently leased tho storeroom
In the concrete building several doors
north, on South Front street, and
planned to soon move his store there.
He will now move his business to that
location as soon as possible..
The flames wore well under way
when the fire department arrived, and
tho situation looked vory threatening
for the business district bounded by
South Front street, Main street.
Eighth street and South Central ave
nue, but a few minutes' work by the
now powerful pumper extinguished the
fire. Several Iioro lines were laid as
a precaution, and two arrests wore
made of-auto drivers who drovo ovor
the hose, and who were fined for that
In police court today.
The fire was caused when Chester
Henderson, on omployo of the Scott
store, loft his car standing In front,
went Inside to get a pa'r of pilars with
which to fix the car, lighted a match
and thoughtlessly threw It on n pile
of oil-soaked rags. Flames immedi
ately arose from this pile and spread
rapidly. "l
Honderson ran to the nearest fire
alarm box and rang In an alarm, but
In bis anxiety to get back and move
his car to snfoty, did not remain to
phone in from the box the exuet lo
cation. Hence, when the alarm rang and
the firemen d)d not cntch tho oxneti
location, they first proceeded to an-
other location, corner of Main and ,
Holly streets, having a similar box
number. However, on finding no fire
there they hurried back tn the other!
box and by this time the flames wore
showing up and there were men to
direct them to tho blaze. Only a few
minutes' time wns lust, however, thru j
the mixup in box signals, the tire jle
partment doing excellent work.

A GREAT FUTURE
FOR ROGUE VALLEY
tnent seven per cent bonds, which
wero flouted in this country following
Germany's acceptance of the Dawen
plan, a drop of 3 points in French
francs to 5.17 cents nnd a reactionary
movement In the stock market was
Wall street's first reaction to the
ekctln of Von Illndenburg us presi

Declaring Medford and the Rogue
River Valley the most attractive place
in the country, assured of a marvelous
future if the natural resources and
Bcenlc advantages are properly adver
tised, J. K. Shaw, vice-president of the
Celotex company of Chicago, ill., ac
companied by his wile left this after
noon for the east after spending a
week at the Hotel Medford.
Mr. Shaw has traveled in all parts
of the country, owns large tracts of
land In Florida, but declares without
qualification that the Rogue River
Valley offers more to the sportsman
and lover of nature than any other
district In this state or any other
state, and he Intends to return in the
future for an extended stay, accom
panied by some or his business asso
elates. Karller in the week ho made
a trip to Squaw lake, where he caught
some fine trout and yesterday he and
Mrs. Shaw wero the guests of Toggery
1)111 Isaacs on a motor trip to Crater
lake park. The party went as far as
possible by motor and then continued
through the snow on foot six miles
above Union creek, which Is a record
lor tho present season as far as the
Medford entrance is concerned. The
beauties of this trip were placed ahead
of the Columbia highway or anything
seen by Mr. Shaw on his extended
travels.
While here the Shaws visited Mr.
and Mrs. James Stevens, old friends
in the east, who were responsible for
getting them to come here. As a re
sult of the visit Mr. Stevens, who Mr.
Shaw declares Is the finest singer ever
to come to this purt of the country,
will take a position with the Celotex
company In charge of tho testing de
partment, with hoadquartors in Chi
cago. ,
Celotex Is an artificial hoard made
from sugar cane pulp and Is Bald to
solvo the puzzle of acoustics com
pletely. It is now being put in num
berless theaters, auditoriums and
cathedrals In this country and abroad.
The company In Chicago, says Mr.
Shaw, Is turning out 600,000 feet of
the hoard n day and tho business Is
growing sensationally.

PARIH, April 27. (Hy the Asso
elated Press) That Von Hlnden
burg's election to the German pres
idency may prove beneficial if it
opens the eyes of the world to the
real sentiment of the German people
was the opinion expressed today in
official circles, wherp the result of
yesterday's polling caused no sur
prise.
In the same quarter, it was said
that tho largo women's vote for the
field marshal was deemed the most
significant feature of the . election.
The men. it was believed, had voted
for either Dr. Marx or Field Mar
shal Von Hindenburg in tho greater
part for party reasons, while the
women votes for the war hero, it
was held, probably were chiefly sen
timental. , :
"This," said a spokesman at tho
foreign office, "ought to open the
eyes of the world to tho fact that
there is no such horror of war nd
militarism among tho German people
as, has been thought in certain coun
tries.
'This lesson," he added, "ought to
be meditated upon, particularly in
the Anglo-Saxon countries whore
thero has been a marked disposition
to give the German people credit

was quite as alarming to the allies

Build Lasting Walls
at Lower Cost
There are many good reasons why you should use
Sheetrock, the fireproof wallboard, in both new con
struction and remodeling.
Sheetrock has all the permanence of the gypsum rock
from which it is made. It makes rigid, flat-surfaced,
tight-jointed walls and ceilings that last as long as the
building stands. . ,'.
Besides being fireproof, noh-warping and permanent, '
Sheetrock takes any type of decoration perfecdy. Use
it with Textone, wall paper, paint or panels.
Sheetrock is economical to use. It comes all ready to
nail to the joists and studs. Easily and quickly erected.
