I. 1 Friends of Heno Ouilnnd, who pi loted the plane in which Haold Amundsen was riding when he dis appeared, are not convinced that the finding of tho pontoon from the machine means It was wrecked. They conjecture that tho flontB day received a cablegram saying "Aften-Posten has nnnounced Just found outside Fugloey, near Trom soe, floater from airplane possibly Latham plane,' Amundsen and five companions wore loHt in a French Latham son piano while attempting to rescue members of tho Nobilc Arctic party. 4 .

Stennett, foreman of tho mechanical department of the Mall-Tribune and make-up man off : this newspaper, departs for ..a i : month's trip through theouihwcst, southern, eastern and mlddie west! j parts of the I'nlted States this j ; evening he goes loaded down with;' the best wishes of many friends and requests that if he gets a chance to "take one for me" and prepared to spread tho glories of Med ford and Crater Lake among the Ignorant outlanders while away. The primary purpose of Mr. Sten- nett's trip is to attend the seventy- third annual convention" of the In ternational Typographical Tnlon in Charleston, S. C, Heptemher'10-15, as a delegates from the Med ford -Ashland union, and, while the cul tured gentleman has for years tak en the National Geographic Maga zine and been an ardent student of travel, this will ho the first time he has ever been cast of the Missis sippi, hence Mrs. Stennett has sewn the pockets containing his fpate spending money tightly shut, and all the printer fellows have warned him to ho careful In mak ing change and to keep his hands clasped tightly over his pockets while looking at tho tall buildings of the cities. When "Sten hands out his hand some visiting card, both at the con vention and at the other places vis ited, the eyes of tho natives will pop out with admiring curiosity, as this folder card Is a two-page af fair. Tho first page tells that ho is secretary and treasurer of the Medford-Ashland Typographical Un ion, representing that union at the convention. Then Inside is a fine picture of Crater Iake In tints, be neath which Is the line, "Modford. Oregon. Ontoway to Crater Lake." On the last outside page of the card Is on orchard vlsla view of the val ley labeled "Med ford. Heart of the World's Largest Pear District." Leaving Aledford this evening Mr. Stennett starts for Charleston via Ixs Angeles, Cal., Phoenix, Ariz., Kl Paso, Texas, and New Orleans La., with short stops at each. Following tho convention he will visit various eastern, other southern and western cities includ ing Washington, I. C; New York City, Niagara Falls; Lynchburg, W. Va., and possibly may visit Tf iron in. Can. But the red letter feature of the entire trip will he a visit at his boyhood home at Stennett, Iowa, which place was named for his family. E H.

This pre-regist ration was only for those students who did not register at the closo of school last year, those who have been doing inake-up work In summer school, and pupils who have never attend ed Med ford schools. About 700 students are expected tn he in the senior high school this year anil about 4.',o In tho junior! high school; The principals of j tho various buildings met with , Huperintendent Jledrick this fore-! noon, and at 1:30 this ufternoon all the teachers of ,the public schools met with the superinten dent at the 'junior high school.

A patriotic dinner program was an attractive featuro of the noon hour. Twenty-eight veterans were fin ally registered and of that number John Crawford, 79, of Talent was the. youngest and A. D. Whitney of Ashland, 06, was the oldest. Two members of the association have been called by death during the past year. in appreciation of the courteous treatment that' the veterans have received at tho hands of Ashland people and Ashland business men, the following resolutions were i passed' unanimously: "The Southern Oregon Soldiers ; and Sailors association wish to ex- ' press their sincere thanks to the park board for the use of the ; beautiful Lilhia park, the city electric light department for the ; electric lights furnished, the Amer- j MARSHFIELD TEAM HERE FOR GAMES EARL FEHL FILES .KLAMATH FALLS .
