At nine o'clock the following
morning, wo left , the Milwaukee
station aboard the Columbian, for ;
Aberdeen. H. . The Milwaukee
has much of Its road through the I

As we climbed ever higher j
Into the Cascade mountains, there
were drifts of snow along the '
track. Km m Ihe observation I

of the lime during the days, we j
gained magnificent views of snow- ,
capped peaks, forest covered,

with now and then a larger river. .

(ff) The television radio talkie,
youngest and mosL precious child
of electrical science, had Us world
premiere as a theatre attraction
here today.
Audiences witnessed the unpre
eedt nted spectacle of an orchestra
In the theater being lead by the
Hie size radio television Image of
lu conductor, who In a laboratory
a few miles distant wielded Ills
baton as ho received the music of
his men by telephone. Merrill
Tralnor, laboratory assistant of Yv,
K. V. Y. Alevanderson, television
pioneer, was seen and heard as he
explained the way In which the
pletures and the sounds reached
ihe theater. Other performers con
tributed to the demonstration by
gesture, vocal music and Instru
mental selections.
The demonstration was arranged
by Dr. Alevanderson, who is con
sulting engineer of the General
middle section of the building Is ' l;"' company and the Kadio
tlie anticipated public auditorium
t
The growth Medford has realized
during the last 10 years Justifies
the belief that there will bo suf
ficient demand to necessitate con
struction of this auditorium within
'T years.
The most imposing building In
the sketch, however, the county
court house, is the ono to bo
erected first and therefore tht one
In which members of the planning
commission ami other residents f
Medford are most Interested. Mem
bers of the commission stato thoy
are pleased with tho county's
choice of the site and feel that the
people who voted for It will realize
In 20 yearB from now that thoy
have taken the greatest step pos
sible toward beautifying Medford
Corporation of America, to show
the possibilities of television as u
mode of entertainment. Dr. Alex
anderson has been experimenting
with television for several yeurs.
His first demonstration, in 1U27.
was a picture In a three-inch
aperture. An Image 1 4 Inches
square was exhibited at tho NeW
York radio show last fall. The
projection today was on a screen
six feet square, with all the grey
shades between white and black
being produced, reglsterinR the

ing both depth and detail to the
picture.

filled with wind-blowp sand. As
we approached Spokane the coun
try began to look more promis
ing, and we found Spokane to be
a beautiful city. We reached
Kpokarc about seven o'clock, so
we saw It lighted up. The Spo
kane river Is superbly beautiful
beyond the descriptive power of
words. ,
When I awoke the following
morning. I thought that I bad
plenty of time to make my toilet
before we reached Untie, but I
had barely finished my dressing
when our train drew into Uutto.
For a short time I was puzzled,
as my wateh had not been In the
habit of UmIiik time; then it oc
curred to me that we had entered
the .Mountain Time belt, ant) I
should have -;t my watch an
hour ahead as we passed
through Avery, Idaho. I was not
very well Impressed with Unite,
i hough I know that few cities
have the best sections near the
railway. However, if seemed to
me that Uutto held itself very
much aloof from the station. It
was cloudy as we passed through,
which only added to the denial
aspect of the place.
Not far from Unite, we passed
over the Continental divide, thru
Pipestone Pass tunnel, which is
almost half u mile long, at an
altitude of six thousand, three
hundred thirty-five feet. We were
soon parsing down the .lefferson
river, which Is a tributary of the
Missouri. At Three I'orks we
came to the p'im where the Jef

I ers unite to form tho mighty

jsopil a few miles further on. and
j started up a small stream in Mou- j
