A large jumt-r, of local cuhiomers,
BiocKnuiutuB mm employes, or me
California- Oregon, Power company
plan to attend the dedir0ion of the
new "Copco Two" power plant next
Sunday. Judging from present indl-i
cations there will, be a record atten
dance, from all points on the- com
pany's system' which' extends as fur
nouth as Cunsniuiiv Calif., and as far-
north as Drain, Ore. t
The- dedication, ceremony will bo
unique in that it will be of brief dur
ation with an, entire absence of the
long-winded speeches that usually
prevail on such .occasions. Tho cere
mony will be of an allegorical nature
and will be Hinged by Tom Swem of
thlB city. James Stevens of operatic
fame, will play, an important rolo -in
the ceremony as well as a number of
other well known local people.
Following the short ceremony, a
big "caferia luncheon will be served
under the personal direction of Chef1
Strom, whose specialty is "ood rats."
After.- everyone- has topped off an
abundance of Ice cream, lemonade
and other good things, the afternoon
program will bo launcheud. Rand
concerts by tho famous Roseburg
band, tours of inspection through the
big new power house and over the
entire project and other itoms of. in
terest will occupy the rest of the' day
to good advantage until 4 p. m... the
time of departure for home.
This final Inspection, of the big pro
ject before the: water is i actually
turned in will afford an unusual op
portunity for visitors to see the inside
workings of this three million dollar
power development, tho largest of its
kind In this territory. Guests will bo
personally conducted over the whole
project through the two big tunnels,
through the "largest wood pipe-In the
world", and over the big', new diver
sion dam. This will be the Inst chance
to take a trip of this nature over the
job before, the water is turned in.
Two- moving- picture cameras will
record the events of interest through
out the day's program and thoso who
are inclined toward tho silent fframa
will have a good .opportunity to "do
their stuff.".
The roads to Copco n re said to be
In excellent condition and will ufford
a pleasant three hours drivo from this
city, the latter part of which is over
the scenic Siskiyous and aiong the
- picturesque Klamath river.
Directions for reaching Copco from
here are-as follows: Take Pacific
highway, to Hornbrook. From Horn
brook to Copco, a distance of 16 miles
the roads are clearly marked with
special signs in order to eliminate any
confusion aH to tho proper route to
take. v-XMitny local parties plan to
leave Sunday, morning , as; early as
7:30 to 8:30 a. m.
Mrs. Betty Blevens and Miss Peggy
Smith of Venice, Calif., passed thru

MURPHY CASE Will
BE TRIED IN FALL
The petit jury will meet Monday,
July 13th, .to hoar tho cases of B. J.
and Madeline Hodges, and R. and
Nettle Dawson, indicted last week by
the grand jury for alleged violations
of the liquor and pistol-toting in autos
laws; and tho cases, of R. Jones and
Melborn Dunn, also accused of usso
ciatlng rum with guns. .
With the exception of the case of
O. W. Murphy, charged with man
slaughter as a result of the alleged
beating of his wife April 1st, last,
these are the onJy criminal matters on
the calendar. The Murphy case will
be heard i at the October term of
court.
There is some apprehension among
sportsmen regarding the new law pro
hibiting the carrying -of firearms in
autos. The law does not affect fisher
men and hunters, carrying concealed
weapons Jn autos, by excepting "reg
ular licensed fishermen and hunters
on a fishing, or hunting trip." The
law is drastic, and was aimed at boot
leggers, drug peddlers, and citizens on
doubtful missions.,
GRASS FIRES DECLINE,
ONLY THREE THIS JUNE
Tho city .fire department is very
proud of the fact that the month of
June, just passed., was, a banner
month, for only seven fire alnrms
were turned in, only three of which
were grass fires. In comparison with
the grass fires of June. 1924. it is a
record. In that June 21 alarms were
turned in, and with the exception of
one, these were all grass fires, which
had gotten out of control.
The absence of the grass fires this
year is due to the fact that the citi
zens of - Medford have been mojo
educated along this line, and the fact
that permits ore necessary before any
grass can bo burned. It is expected
that another good record will be
maintained through the coming days
of July.

the county .agent:
"The greatest commercial crop
of tho Rogue River Valley is
pears,, and under normal condi
tions tho valley should ship ap
proximately 3,000 cars," said Mr.
Cate. "This season, however, the
tonnage will bo cut down to ap
proximately 1,800 cars on ac
count of the heavy drop this
' spring.
"However, this estimate may
be Increased on account of the
exceptionally good soil moisture
conditions, and good growth that
the pears have made up to date.
Some Bartletts are as large now
as they have been in other years
on August 1. Early picking of
Bartletts will stnrt about the first
of August. The. quality o the
Rogue River pear crop promises
to be the best in history. .
"The apple crop is estimated
at about 60 per cent of a normal
crop, and .the tonnage will be
probably around 300 cars. New
towiiB are the- principal variety,
nnd are doing nicely, with excep
tionally good size at the present
time. Apple thinning is practi
cally over, and the fruit is consid
ered quite free from codlin, moth
at this time of the year. With
proper spraying, there should not
bo a great loss from codlin moth
in this district.
"The cherry crop will be practi
cally over by the fifth of July,
, and although the cherries did not
come up to size this . year,
the quantity and quality was
very good. We are shipping out
about 80' per cent of a normal
crop In the Ashland district.
Prospects for a-good peach crop
in- the southern part of the
county are very good at this time.
The fruit shows exceptionally
good quality, and very little di
sease compared, with other years
as spraying was more general,
and more- attention given the
peach orchards.
"Tho hot weather has been of
benefit to corn, but has had a
tendency 'to ripen up wheat and
barley. However, the. wheat
' and bnrlcy were; well Beaded be
fore tho hot woather and : very
little shrinkage will., occur' on
this account: Some grain is
being hnrvested and exception
ally good yields are expected
"Tho second crop, of alfalfa
hay Is comfei'g on. and is much
better than the first. With good
weather conditions for harvest
ing the second crop, it will be
mostly number one hay.
"Thore has been plenty of

not, suffered .for lack. Of water.

the five hundred miles distance from
there when they arrived in Medford.
and they expect to be in Venice be
fore next Saturday.'
The young ladles wear natty hiking
costumes, nnd wero a bit bronzed by
the rays of the sun. but notwithstand
ing the latter they were most enthusi
astic about their trip. Next year they
are planning to hike to New York
city. It was only due to the fact this
year was so far advanced that they
did not make the trip at the present
time.
They were very much impressed
with the Rogue River valley, its scen
ery and Its climate. -Mrs.
Bcvens was so impressed that
she declared to several Medford citi
zens, who were nearby, "If 1 had ten
acres in- California I would trade it
for a half aero in southern Oregon,
believe me."
The two young ladles, who stopped
Just long enough in the city to refresh
l.emselves, readjusted tho packs on
their backs, and with long nod steady
strides began the last lap of their
long Journey to Venice, hopeful that
the passing motorist would be as good
to them as he had been heretofore.

Good-bye old crutchl"
rT 'HERE IS positively no lonp:er any'
excuse for suffering tho agonies
of rheumatism ! Especially in the
autumn of your life, when the vital
organs weaken, impurities multiply
and linger in the muscles and joints,
as never before. It is now, just now,
when you cannot alTord to guess. No
day returns!
Here is a joyous fact which can
mean to you a fond farewell forever
to all the miseries, the tortures, the
body-twisting pains that you have
Buffered from the demon of rheu
matism. It is a fact that rheumatism
means "blood poverty." It is a fact
with the increase of red-cells in your
'blood, impurities are destroyed. It
is a fact that B.H.S. will help Na
ture build these rcd-blood-cells!
S.S-S. s one of the most powejful
blood cleansers in existence. Its re
sults in thousands of rheumatic
cases have been nothing short of
amazingl The medicinal ingredients
of S.S.S. are purely vegetable. This
is very important to remember 1 What
can be more inspiring;, moe won
derful than to seo the shackles of
pain released from your struggling;
body, swellings, lingering pains, stiff
ness of joints and muscles all dis
appear; your stomach made strong;
your face pink with the old sweet
heart glow, your blood enriched and
your cheeks more plump as they used
to be. You can do it! Take S.S.S., the
great destroyer of rheumatic Impurities.
