Yet one of the most objectionable features reveals Itself during the months of August, September and October when at the low water stage it is a sluggish, stagnant, mosquito breeding and foul smelling stream.

RIGID INSPECTION OF ALL CHEVROLET PARTS One employe in every six In tho motor assembly plant of the Chevrolet Motor company, at Flint, Mich., does nothing but check the rigid standards required in tbe motor parts and the accuracy with which they are fitted together. t Before the engine block starts down one of the assembly lines It is given u triple inspectilon for possible Irregu larities or defects, each Inspector cheeking his predecessor. Next it is washed, dried under compressed air and again inspected for .cleanliness. If a dirt spot is discovered, the cast ing is sent back to the washer. Almost endless tests mark Its pro gress down the assembly line, pre cisons being, gauged down to one thousandth of an inch.The noment an inspector detects any variations from standard, the motor is taken from the liqe. If the defect is only minor, the motor is sent back on the line for adjustments or replacements subject to subsequent re-inspection. If tho variaton from standard is fun damental, the motor is dis-assembled. As tho motor is built up, all parts apd. fittings are subjected to constant examination and re-cxamlnation. Precision is law. After being built up, tho motor is "run in" by electric motors at 1200 revolutions per minute for about two hours to work in the bearings and nlston rintrs.

Establishes Records In one day recently, the Studebaker corporation shipped from Its com hintNl factories 760 completed motor cars, largest single day's shipment in the history of the corporation, save one. On May 29, 1923. the shipment was 780. Studebaker operates the lnrgest gray iron foundry in the worll. - As a second one-day record, the foundry poured 307 tons of gray iron castings, an achievement never before equalled in any one foundry of its kind in the world. Though running at maximum capa city, the plants have been unable to catch up with the demands, for ship ments of cars already sold, for more than two months. The present pro duction capacity is still 25 .per cent below the actual current sales, and the number of cars on hand in the hands of dealers is at the lowest point In years.

The Chicago hoard of trade will start at unco to meet the "constructive suggestions." of Secre tary of Agriculture Juuline, made yesterday In Washington, Krank I. Carey, president of the board of trade said today. Immediate steps will be taken. Mr. Carey said in a statement to bring the secretary's recommendations to the attention of the exchange members. The wide fluctuations in grain prices which caused Secretary Jar dine some time ago to order an In vestigation of grain operations, hud confronted the board with a situation ntirely new in peace limes, Mr. Carry said. lie also disclosed that representatives of the board had con ferred wit h ll' secretary last M ou tlay.

Kor many years there have been no situations of that character for the exchange itself formulated rules that prevented them. "In the past six mouths there de veloped a situation that was- wholly new to the exchange. Never before bad the exchange been called upon to meet such wide price fluctuations in peace times. "America bad a bountiful wheat crop. All other countries, witlj the possible exception of Australia, suf fered shortages. A buying power that was world wide was thrust upon the exchange and this buying continued unabated for many weeks and to a limited extent is still present. Under the stress of such unprecedented cir cumstances the exchange functioned remarkably well. If abuses crept In they were strikingly few when viewed from the great volume of business transacted. Nevertheless It Is the genuine desire of the exchange to tor- rest any abuse that may be found, Just as it bus done in the past. "The view of Secretary Jardlne will be brought to the attention of the directors, who have for several weeks been studying the general problem of price fluctuations." KLAMATH LAKE TO BE U .5.

However, by way of example, permit us to point out to you that: "1. Ydw make no reference to tho con nested situation of the sewer accommodations of the P. & K. site. You should have consulted your city eni?lneer on this point. "2. Your ariiiiment about the football hoys becoming Infected with bolls from tho athletic grounds Is a petty argument, and none too logical, as bolls, epidemics of them are common In all gymnasiums nnd athletics work where proper locker rooms' and laundry facili ties are not furnished.

You make no mention of the possible danger of another flood down Bear creek.

"In the comparison you have made of tbe two Bites, you suggest that It would be impractical, to have student transfers back and forth from the present building to the new one. There Is no reason to believe that Buch transferring back and forth will be necessary, no matter which site Is selected, and there is every reason to believe that It would not prove satisfactory to attempt such a procedure.

Steward Answers Letter of Experts Citizens of Medford: A long and voluntary study of Con solidated Schools. Union High Schools, Junior High Schools. Senior High Schools, sites, financing, etc., was made many weeks ago without the knowledge of the School Board. 1 was never submitted to nny experts (except a very few extracts) nor was it ever published, but It was read be fore the men teachers, and the School Hoard, simultaneously. Therefore, the paid advertisement in the paper Tues day evening was put In in bad faith and against the wishes of the experts. Any man may make an oversight, especially when making a hurried two day survey, I believe that the ex perts understood that the Holly Street site was already owned. In their re port, and In their letter of Tuesday evening, they stated that $185, UOU was to be u soil to construct a building alone which would accommodate tied pupils. Of course such a thing can be dono when the building alone is con sidered, but if the cost of the situ and equipment are. deducted not more than 4 i 2 pupils can be accommodat ed. It ea 1 1 y , 1 ess than 440 ca n be seated anil there are now 554 (???) pupils in the high school If we accept the figures on the map at Week's & Ore's. If the experts' own methods are used, that means that more than 1 (it) pupils cannot be seated now. What will it be in one, two, three, or four years? We cannot use the old high school building as n Junior High because It would be more congested than it is now; and what will It be In the future? l'rlvately, I called the attention of tho exports to this, ami I did it in good faith. They answered privately and said that 1 was mistaken. They said that Tax Levies or Short Time Warrants could be used to' purchase the site. They are absolutely and positively wrong. The ballot for the bonds wan word' ed. "185,0110 to Construct and Kquip a New High School Building, or Unit thereof, and to Purchase Keul Pro perty." The voters decided that, 4 to 1. Is there any higher court than the voters? I have the word of Newbury and Newbury, and have, heard the opin ions of the Attorney General, that the Oregon School Ijiw slates specifically In sections No. 123, No. 124, No. 120. No. 129, etc., that no money shall he spent by School Boards for Perma nent 1 m provement s ( such as sit es) except by the consent of the voters. and that Warrants and Tax Levies .May Be Mndd to Meet Current Kx penses Only. We have already had one Injunc tion suit; do we want another? Now this nil means that we cannot construct and equip n complete hlgb school on the North Holly Street site with the money available. If more money is needed another election will1 be necessary. On the other hand, a building on the P. & E, site can be used for a few years in connection with the present old building. Citizens of Medford, do you want to go through another such election to got ndditionut money? Do you really want such a villainous,' libel ous, slanderous fight? Do you want to taKu a chance on having an empty building? If you want peace, harmony, and assurance of a real, now high school, vote for the P. & E. You are taking no chances with the P. & 12.!! Sincerely yours, Paid adv. T. STKWATiD.
