of tho pontoons of the Amundsen
hydroplane, Bays' that the' float bore
marks of having been violently
torn from the machine. It had evi
dently been In tho water a long
time '
, The' newspaper believes tho trag
edy must have occurred on June 18
iik to the French naval seaplnno
Latham in which Amundsen rode
with Keno Gull baud as pilot. Com-
rrienQS Kraphs of tho plane tended to con
firm the identification.

Ithorltiea that he had picked up the
pontoon at U:30 last night 10 miles
northwest of Phrosborn light house

Island.

reached tho geographic- lab-!n Prentice, Ion.- nssocinted with

about 7 p. m. Acquaintances of
Amundsen who were present when

fied the pontoon as belonging to
tho Fronch seaplane.
PAWS, Franco, Sept. 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

travel, this will ho the first time
he has ever been cast of the Missis

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

convention. Then Inside is a fine
picture of Crater Iake In tints, be

The prc-rcgistration of now stuA
dents at the senior high school and
Junior high school, yesterday and
today numbered 157, of which 117
reKlstered at the senior high
school and 40 at the junior high
school, Is a big Increase over the
prc-rcKistrutlou of these same
schools last yeur. giving force to
the prediction that the high school
attendance tills year will be record
breaking.
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.

j nual reunion In accordance with
the action taken at tho business
I meeting held on Friday morning,
j Furthermore, a one day session
; will supplant the usual threo day
conference which has been the
custom for many years. The
change seemed advisable since- the
veterans are few in number and
they cannot be present for the
whole session which rather breaks
In l,he pleasure of the reunion.

I JI. Kmerson, was chosen from the
hostess cny. a. ivyie or i-'olu Hill

year. Mrs. Anna Stelnbaugli of
Grants Pass was named adjutant.
The veterans held their annual
dinner at noon of Friday in the
J. O: O. F. hall, where 100 were in
attendance In answer to mess call.
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:
