MEDFORD, OttF.fiOX. TUESDAY. APRIL 192S. GRAND JURY QUIZ w H in a t to M I ,. a The crauil Jury, which resumed Its long investigation, supposed to be into expenditures of the county prohibition funds and liossihly some other matters, for years past, yes terday morning with the under stood expectation of being tu ses sion the remainder of the week, unexpectedly changed its plans and adjourned In the afternoon un til next Monday, unless otherwise summoned to resume before that time. The hitch In the program that caused the adjournment yesterday was caused, It is understood, by tMJje absence of an important wit iniess from the city for several days at least, whom the jurors had ex pected to have before them for questioning.' Humors, some of much absurd ity, continue rife as to the scope of the Investigation, ns to when It will be completed and what will be the outcome.

S. weather bureau at San Francisco for a heavy frost tonight and fair weather for tonight and Wednes day. Hence the speeial forecast of Floyd Young, the local govern ment frost expert, which will be given at 7 p. m. to the telephone exchange and at S p. m. over the radio will be awaited with much interest by the orehardists. Here after Mr. Young's special forecast will be announced over the radio at S p. m., following his forecast at " p. in. for the phone exchange. The prospective frost for to night is received by the valley orehardists with mingled fueling, those who do not smudge being apprehensive, and the majority of the smudging orehardists ami aonio of tho other leading fruit ex perts welcoming it, as they think that a frost might bring fair and warmer weather for much needed polleni.ation. They reason that they can fight the frost with smudge and that the great need now is for pollenizatton of the blossoms. A rather heavy snow began falling about 1 :30 this afternoon, to later turn into rain. Over the week end ami up until 5 a. m. to day the rain had amounted to 02 hundredths of an inch. During the most of this time there was more or less heavy snow falling in the foothtlls and high mountains with much snow in both places, but heaviest in the mountains. The snow was reported today to be a foot deep on the summit of tho Siskiyou mountains with the Pacific highway open for travel, after snow plows were used all last night to keep the highway free from drifts. While the highway is open for motor travel, the use of chains is advised, due to the slip pery condition of the paving. Snow fell heavily In Ashland last night and the ground there was covered this morning, but melted off before K:30, to be succeeded ' other flurries of rain anil snow during the day.
