Vern C. Corst, of the Pacific Air
Transit Co., panned through Medford
last evening en route to San Fran
cIhco, met a committee of the Cham
ber of Commerce and explained their
proposition as to the government air
mall from Seattle to Los Angeles, as
reported in the Associated Press
dihpntchPR in this paper last evening.
This company has the refusal of
this route and will no doubt accept
the same In the hear future.
They have organized a company
for $150,000, of 1&00 shares at $100 a
share and will use the Curtis biplanes
equipped -with the latest model
Wright "Whirlwind motors of 200
horsepower with high speed of 120
miles an hour and a cruising speed of
SO miles an hour, required by the
government. ' '
Medford will he mnde one of tho
principal stations of the company, be
ing a relay for both the southbound
route from Seattle and the north
bound from San Francisco. This
means mechanics and relny planes
siatiuned here at all times.
The planes will carry (iOO pounds
of mall and if there Is not enough air
mail to make up this amount daily
the government will no doubt arrange
to give them the balance of their
capacity In regular first-class mail,
thereby insuring a full loud each trip.
The rate for air mall from Seattle
to Los Angeles Is $0 per pound or
StiMO per ion pounds, of which the
Pacific Air Transit company will re
ceive 75 per cent or $450 on the 100
pounds. On first class mail th com
pany would receive the same per cent
which would average about ?G0 per
100 pounds.
As has been slated, this coast line
would have stations at Seattle, Port
land, Medford, Sacramento, San Fran
cisco, Fresno, Bakersfleld and Los
Angeles. The contrncis require six
day service; one plane each way
daily.
In this connection it might be well

week, against Deputy Sheriff L. J).

an undivided one-third Interest in

a divorce from 'Thomas F; Gorman,
charging cruel and ' Inhuman treat

In the divorce suit of Wllmot
against Webb Neathamer, residents
of the Cold Hill district, the de
fendant Tuesday filed his answer to
the complaint. In reply to accu
sations of the wife, the defendant
charges her to be of an Irritable disposition-
given to picking quarrels
with defendant's sister. He alleges
that when he attempted to pacify his
wife, "she hit htm In the face when
he was not looking, and dug her
finger nails into the arm." After
this Incident, the defendant 'admits
he "very lightly spanked the plaintiff
with the open hand."
Neathamer charges that the do
mestic storms "can be directly traced
to the Intermeddling of the - parents
of the plaintiff," and further that
"they counselled plaintiff to leave
him," thus finding "It difficult to
compete with the said parents for
the love and affection of the plain
tiff."

Archie Nutt.v
It Is further charged that the de

as planned, but eight months of
married life had begun to pall on
her youthful and venturesome spirit

man residing In Grants 1'ass," that
,' his mother-in-law cursed and threat
ened him, and that the plaintiff was

deep flavors of rare "aged" coffees,
You'll detect an unaccustomed coffee-flavor
when you try S&W. For you will experience,
perhaps for the first time, the full goodness nat
ural to fine coffees, but which develop only when
the coffee is aged in tropic warehouses before
shipment.
Few have realized true coffee-goodness because so little coffee is
permitted to remain in the tropics to age properly. The immense
demand for this product makes prompt shipment necessary.
There is a treat, then, for coffee-lovers in S&W. There is a deep,
mellow richness awaiting your palate satisfying flavors put there
by nature and brough t to your cup by nature's slow method of aging.
S&W is a blend of those prized aged coffees secured at greater ,
