OF COUNTY COURT!
SOUTH DAKOTA GIRL HEALTHIEST
The matter of eity people using
the countryside an a. dumping
k round a rathft widespread cus
tom was discussed informally
and briefly,- at the regular meet
ing of the county court this morn-irK-
County trucks have started
the annual task of gathering up
the rubbish, and more will be
put on the Job after the first of
tho year. The county court is
looking for a cure.
County .Judge Alex Sparrow was
iruto uhout the abuse, and Bald
he would like to catch a male
factor. He said he would use
diHcrction, and "tear in" to him if
conditions looked favorable.
Commissioner J3iir.se 11 was not
so warlike, and suggested, "that
us country fellers ought o dump
a load of tin cans on' a few
lawns, to see how they like It.'
Commissioner George Alford
voiced no opinion on the evil, but
' registered deep disgust at the
practice, as did County Engineer
George Rynnlng.
City folks are charged with fill
ing up a gunnysack with tin cans
and other rubbish, before the Sun
day afternoon auto ride, later
throwing the sack overboard, along
the rural highways and by-ways,
when nobody is looking. Unwant
ed cats und kittens are disposed
of fa the, same manner, it is
claimed. This latter custom, is
work for the County Humane so
ciety. .
LAW ADJUSTMENT
'GUARDIAN' ROLES
"The Guardian," the latent play
by Helen Norritv which had Its
premiere audition here two weeks
hko, whr repeated last night over
KMHn, the Mnil Tribune-Virgin
station, thru' the courtesy of the
'alifornia Oregon Power company
This second presentation was
prompted by a wide number of
encore requests from various sec
tions of the valley.
With Fletcher Fish unable to be
present, Karl Davis demonstrated
his versatility by playing a dual
role. From local reports, he was
successful In entirely disguising
liis voice In the. "heavy." Harold
Corliss again did his splendid piece
of characterization in the role of
Jed, the mountain recluse. Mrs.
Stella Quistenberry, as the mercen
ary daughter-in-law, gave an ex
cellent Interpretation, as did Mary
Clrelner, who played the sympa
thetic role of the Mule mouniuin
girl, and Kenneth JOakln who
played Harney, the prodigal moun
tain lad, who came home to make
good, after failing in the city.
Statin; that more than 51 25,000
000 is put into circulation through
out the state annuully through the
timber lands of Oregon, Ueorge K.
Griffith, superintendent of public
relations for the forestry depart
ment, who was the principal speak
er before the Lions cluh today, urg
ed a wiser and more Intelligent ad
justment o:. the timber land tax
laws. ,
The necessity of getting a refor
estation measure before the legisla
ture and passing It was cited by the
speaker as one of the first impor
tant steps to be taken if the state
wanted to preserve Hh principal In
dustry" That 20,000,000 acres of
Oregon land will not ;row anything
but timber, and if not replanted
will turn into idle land, was a start
ling fact brought out by Griffith.
After showing that the timber
problem was of vital concern to
every resident of the state, as It
materially affected him, the speak
er claimed that he did not udvo
cate a yield tax. Such a tax, lie
said, .has proved a burden to tho
grower, that he cannot stand up
under It, and consequently is re
sponsible for much of the unpro
ductive land throughout the stuto.
The only fair tax, according to
Mr. Griffith, would be a combina
tion of a low basic land tax and n
yield tax, which would apply only
(o the young timber now in the
process of early growth.
Mr. Griffith was introduced by
W. V. Fuller, director of publicity
for the state forestry department.
The program for the day was un
der the direction of the local foest
service department.
Other guests for the (lay wero

"Are you from Missouri?" is the
way Big Jim Kramer began his ad

ing last night. Dr. Kramer de
clared that Missouri has no mo
nopoly on wanting to he shown;
that the wortd is waiting with a
big reward for. the man who will
show the world how. Morse, Edi
son, Wright brothers, and all the
rest of' the men and women who
have pointed the way and shown
the world how to live better, have
had their reward. Taking the ques
tion of Nicodemus to Jestrs, "How
can these things he?" as his text,
the evangelist proceeded to show,
in one of his most powerful ad
dresses, how Christ shows the way
to the men and women of this
world. The response from the au
dience was splendid.

Kramer showed them a great time

An alleged game law violation
trial of considerable interest was
on today before Justice of the Fence
Glenn O. Taylor, in the circuit court
room at the court house, with Karl
Garfield, Jack Stalsworth und R.
E. Haynes, all of Medford, as the
defendants. They arc charged with
having hunted deer at night last
October In the Kvans Creek dis
trict, the arrests having been made
by Deputy Game Warden Roy Harr.
At the time they pleaded not guilty
in the Justice court and their trial
was sot for today. Don Newbury
is their attorney.
Up to early this afternoon the
state's testimony had been unable
to positively Identify the defend
ants as the men seen hunting after
dark, the testimony being only to
the effect that their parked car
was seen in that vicinity at the
time. The trial was expected to be
concluded some time this afternoon.

A compromise ncars between the
citizens of Jacksonville, who want
the pioneer Kreutzer mill road
closed, and those who do not. The
Chamber of Commerce and .others
dcnlre that the road bo closed, so
the Santford Jonen company can
erect a packing plant to cost about
$50,00 und employ 11! to 14 men,
and comply with the state law
which requires a packing plant be
built a certain distance from a
public road.
Opponents of the plan hold that
the closing of the road would work
a hardship on woodcutters hauling
their wares to market, and cut off
the exit of mining land, owned by
John Opp and the liny estate, as
yet undeveloped.
It is now wutrgested that a Bate
be built across the road, which
would end its usefulness as a road,
legally but not actually. This step
would allow the erection of the.
plant and allow tho woodcutters
to haul wood by simply opening
the gate and then closing it.
The road in early days was the
road to Sterling, but has been lit
tle used .for 20 years. In early
days . the road whs Jacksonville's
"J-overa .Lane."
Advices come from Washington
that the Bureau of Aeronautics Is
planning for a location site for
dirigibles. on the Pacific const nnd
will investigate Medford with other
cities.
While no appropriation has bepn
made for this purpose as" yet it no
doubt will be authorized within a
short time.
Medford being air-minded, and
having many other advantages,
may have a chance to land this
dirigible site, which would he a big
proposition.
