KLAMATH PALLS, May 8. (Spe
cial.) Judge Lem L. Gaghagen re
ceived a shock'whieh upset the dignity
and decorum of his court all day yes
terday when the news leaked out that
his chief office UHstMant, Miss Dorothy
Currin, had been picked up Monday
night by J. 'J. McMahon doing 47
m Ilea per hour on the corporate
stretch of the luw abiding town of
Aflhlnnd. -
Under croaa examination. Miss Cur
rin admitted that the primary allega
tions as aet forth by the highest Ash
land law enforcement officials, were
substantially correct. ' "It was this
way,"1 she explained. "I was driving
my mother, Mrs. C. S. Currin, my
grandmothers, Mra. Delzell, and Mrs.
Claud H. Davis, to Mud ford to take in
the 'Greenwich -Follies', show, and we
Wore. late. We had just passed the
ABhland city limits whim this nice
young speed cop overhauled us on his
motorcycle, and wanted to know what
was the hurry. He seemed awfully
nice and said he might have been mis
taken in reading his speedometer,
which said 47 miles per hour, and
maybe I was only going 27. Anyway,
he said If I was associated with the
Klamath Falls police court which held
a high rank among agencies of jus
tice In the United States, we wouldn't
be detained for an immediate trial, but
the Ashland court would submit its
findings In the way of a caNh fine nnd
possibly a jail sentence to Judge Gag
hagen for the lawful administering
thereof. He rode his motorcycle along
ahead of us then, and honked the de
crepit Fords out of the way so wo not
to the Medford theAter right on time,
and, believe me, it was a swell show."

FOR GREB TITLE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 8 Edward
ratrkk (Mickey) Walker, welter
weight champion pugilist here for a
fight with "Lefty" Cooper, May 16.
takes his present title as not suffi
cient laurels on which to repose.
Mickey would like at least one
more title nnd he is looking forward
keenly to his fifteen round go in New
York June 19 with Harry tlreb, the
middleweight champion.
Mickey intimates that If he wins
the middleweight title, he may take
In ' more territory ami try his luck
against Gune Tunney, or Tommy Gib
bons, most prominent of the light
heavyweights. The welter king" from
Elizabeth, N. J., has. however, an
engagement to defend his original
title in New York In August with
Dave Shade as the challenger. In a
chat with the champion, , James
Rolph, Jr., San Francisco's mayor In
quired: . "How many rounds do you let 'em
stay Mickey?"
"Sometimes," replied the champion.
"I wonder how long they're going to
.ot me stay.
And Mr. Walker doesn't tinder-rate
my of his opponents. He says he
xpects a hard fight from "Lefty"
hooper, who is virtually unknown ex
cept on the Pacific coast. Ho recalls
hat a man who gave him a tough
battle, Morr'le Schlalffer, of Omaha,
was defeated by Cooper.

QUICK RELIEF FROM
KIDNEY TROUBLE
'.Some time ago I got a box of
your Alvita Tablets, and I have been
taking different kinds of medicine
without doing mo nny good, for my
stomach, also my bladder or prostate

relief until I took the box of your
Alvita Tablets, and I must say they
are beyond my expectations. I
surely have been benefitted by tak
ing them."

Emigrant creek dam stated that the only thing which
could cause this dam to break would be an earthquake

As this dam gets older it will become stronger. That '
Is tho tendency of cement. If there had ever been any
danger of this dnm breaking It would be now, while It
is full nnd while weakest. We have letters from these
engineers to substantiate this and they will 'be pub
lished later.
Other engineers have said that if this dam should,
ever break the creek here would not raise over two feet.
Data gathered since the recent high water shows that
2.6 times as much water would have to pass down Bear
creek than did pass in order to flood any part of the

BUILDING - '! '.
A complete nsw high school with 27 classrooms cannot be built! I! Therefore, a unit must be built. There
fore, the present building must be used for part ot the high school until a second unit is built. The newnnlt
will house such classes as physics, chemistry, mechanical drawing, general science, bookkeeping, 'shorthand, home
economics, manual training, agriculture. The two units muBt work together and they must, therefore, be as eloss
together as possible. Any respectable school man will bear out this statement. : '; v'
NORTH HOLLY STREET SITE . ADMINISTRATION THE P. & E. SITE . '. '
If unit Is built (and how under heaven can we escape
it?) the administrative problems will be at a maximum
and thoy will be most unique. Practically Impossible
for classeB to pass without demoralizing high school.
Just Imagine classes passing 10 blocks down unpaved
and muddy streets, across railroad and switching yards,
then the group of lumber yards, warehouses, wood yards,
etc., to get to the North Holly street site!
The administrative problems will be bad, but tltsy
will be as nothing compared with those for the Holly
street site. A temporary sidewalk and foot-bridge wltH
high protecting wire walls would connect the two build
ings. The distance between the two buildings would
thus be a little over 2 blocks and a recess of a few
more minutes' duration could be allowed. After three
or four years enough rooms in the new unit could he
completed to move the entire mgn school into it. :
COMMUNITY PRIDE
A high school here would be between the business
district and the sawmill district, and the business inter
course would nlways bother. The building could never
be seen by tourists.
The hluh school on the P. A. E. site would always be
In a residential section. Tourists passing on the Palflc
hlghway could see it; tourists on the Crater Ijike li.lgh-.
way could see It. ' - i :
Let's get the California spirit! - ,

Citizens of Medford, wo must forgot our sectional rivalries. We nre not to put dollars Into our pockets 'by ;
placing the high school adjacent to our property. This Is one problem which lnvolvesthe most precious thing Hn
