Afier having read the .v.hef day
In the Mall Trllium of .Mr. dates'
ndvei-rte sentiments relative to the
feasihility of the HUggeHted high

InipoHKll'le, Impractical nnd totally
out of line with the mate highway

present policy, l'resident Mohr nnd
htN coiuinlttee were anxtoun to di.s

I'iiHt band, in the hope that when
) heir pOKltion in ndvoency of the
change wits, more fully explained
the latter might look upon the
mutter favorably.
The local highway member,
however wan adamant In his oppo
sition, giving the Riime reaxoiiH uh
were itiven In the Mail Tribune
Interview on the matter. All thru
the diHcus.sInn, In which he told of
tho Ktate highway commls.sionH
general policy anil outlook, and Its
plann for highway work thruout
thin flection, Mr. fiateK made It
plain that he wan talking. Imper
sonally, as a state ufficial mem
bet of the state highway commis

and neighbor. I If declared that
he could not conscientiously as a
member of the commission look
favorably on the suggested change
i n ro ite. b nd a d voca t e such a
change with the other member of
the commission.
l'resident Mohr and one other
member of the committee were
plainly peeved at Mr. dates' atti
tude on the matter, especially his
looking at it as a state official.
"Pop" also made it plain, as In
his Mall Tribune interview, that
no change whatever In Pacific
highway routing was contemplat
ed for five or ten years yet and
then the Commission had only in
mind the straightening of the short
stretch between I'enlrul Point and
the Owen Oregon mill in order to
do away with the turns and curves
between the two points.
Mr. Cates, however, willingly
agreed, that if any contemplated
change ever came hi-fi hp the state
highway commission 1 nthe Pacific
highway route in this territory, he
would hold the mutter back until
the Medford New Highway associ
ation here could pluce its argu
ments and views fully before the
com mission t or the route change
advocated by the commission, the
pet it inns for which have 300 or
more signatures.

P.lak bass are plentiful In the
Jjiko of the Woods and Medford
sportsmen are urged to drive to
the lake if they would enjoy good
fishing, according to A, J. Voll
man, caretaker for the Lake of
the Woods Hermit Ion company,
when he was in Medford today.
He reported that Klamath coun
ty fishermen have been hooking
them by "the carloads,' with but
little trouble. The trip to the
hike can be made In four nnd
one-hnlf hours, with the Klnm
nth Kalis highway the best route
to take. The Head Indian road
is piissahie, but far from good.

The Record annual summer ncs
slon of the Medford illy schools,
consisting of summer work for
six weeks in hich school and ele
mentary grade subjects, has been
authorized by the school board
and will begin June 4 and close
July 1.1, according to an announce
ment today by city School Super
intendent K. j. llcdrick. The
sessions will be held in the Junior
High school building from 8 a. m.
until noon each Jay nnd will bl
under the direction of Charles
C. Smith, nsslsteit by .Miss Esther
Van Camp, who was in charge,
of the school Inst year.
In speaking of last year's ses
sion, Mr. Jlcdiick said this after
noon that a uttended and Unit
over 150 uio expected for this
year. Special work in penman
ship nnd coaching In grades, first
and second, are added features of
the lie's session.
"The fee charged by the board"
Bald Mr. llcdrick. "In no way
covers the cost of instruction, hut
there Is a distinct return to the
district financially through the
work of the summer school, due
to the fact that It saves the cost
of "repeating" many pupils In
the grades through the regular
year, because of tho fact that
opportunity is afforded by tho
summer work to make up defic
lences and nvoid repetition of a
grade." ,
For elementnry grade pupils,
the ebjeet is to afford un oppor
tunity to do make-up work In one
or two subjects, In grades 1 to
S, which they may have failed
lo complete during the regular
year, and necessary to enable
them to go on with the next
higher grade in September. If
the demand is sufficient, special
work In penmanship will be of
fered. in the same manner high school
students may have nn opportu
nity to do inuke-up Avurk In one
or two subjects selected from the
following fields: Kngllsh, history,
civics, mathematics, science, and
Latin.
Students of extra good ability
and preparation, as chosen by
past grades, hut slightly short on
college entrance requirements, may
do a semester of new work In one
of the following fields: History,
mathematics.
Pupils . from both elementnry
and high school are not encour
aged to attempt the doing of
woolly new work, although In
rare cases it may he allowed. The
primary object of summer school
is tile doing of review and make
up work. The time is rather too
snort for Hie completion of a se
mester of new work.
"Work completed In summer
classes Is uccepted us regular
class work In the Medford sys
tem. :. i
There will ho very little for
mal clnss work;, the school will
bo organized mainly on the Indi
vidual method plan and every ef
fort will ho mado to give each
pupil tho special coaching and
attention he most needs. Teach
ers from the regular staff will be
used. Only those who ore sympa
thetic, versatile and most capable
for this particular work will he
selected.
A charge of tT.iio- for a six
weeks' course, payable the first
day of the session, June 4th, will
be made for each pupil, to help
pay the cost of Instruction.
. All pupils who desire to avail
themselves of summer work must
register wilh the city school su
perintendent, E. H. llcdrick, Med
ford building, or Director Charles
O. Smith at tho high school for
the courses they wish to take be
fore Saturday evening, June 2.
This is necessary In order that
the proper teachers he retained to
handle the courses desired.

years in Arkansas two men, Mike
Wallace, top, and Frank Bethel,
both of Monette, have been sent
enced to death in tho electric
chair on June 1 for criminal as
sault. The two hsvt been con
