'The iicy council arm of govern ment has outlived its usefulness urn Medlord is missing a progres Hive step if it fails to take up the commission manager from of gov ernment, Judge V. K. Chews, a nienibor of the citizen's comlttee appointed by Acting Mayor E. M. Wilson a short time ago to study nnd submit a report on this form of government, told members of tlio Kiwanis club at noon luncheon today. The committee has sub mitted its report to the city coun cil, favoring the change, but the council does not plan to take ac tion unless such proceedure ', is re quested by citizens. The weaknesses of the city cSun ell method were recited by the speaker for'cities over 10.0UU pop ulation. He paid a tribute, how ever, to the high type of govern ment Mcdford has had in the past and the method in which the busi ness was handled. Judge Crews declared other cities in Oregon have profited by the new plan and set forth Astoria, La Urunde, Dend and Oregon City where the meth od has proven to be of advantage. . The speaker explained that the commission is composed of three members elected by the people of the city, who are subject to recall ut any time. The three commis sioners are to hold meet'.ngs twice a month and receive $10 apiece for each session. It . is the power of the commission to employ the best man obtainable to act as manager, giving him full control of the city and placing him in direct charge of every department, the heads of which are responsible' to him for their offices. The manager would receive from $350 to $1110 per month and must make a public report every moll Hi of expenditures. If his work is un satisfactory, he can be removed from the office by the commis sion without ceremony. Likewise (ho manager can remove any city official frpm office without cere mony. The city manager also pre pars the annual budget. These features are past of the plan drawn up by the citizens committee but the mayor and a number of the councilmen are opposed to various details. Upon the completion or .ludce Crows's speech, City Councilman Kobert Hammond declared the commission form of government is u necessity, but Indicated that if Mine pressure was not brought to hear on that body, the city council did not plan to take any action on the matter. Tentative plans would havo the commission form of gov ernment up for election next Nov ember. 1 ARE CHAMPIONS Members of tho Cuckoo patrol of tho Phoenix troop of the Cra ter JjUku council, Hoy Scouts, re turned to Mertforrt this morning from RoBoburj;, where they won i'iiMt honoi'H in firwt iiid work, competing; with the winning team of. the HoKcburg council, which i- comprised of three counties.

It seems that the Mail Tribune account of a small bevy of lonely cows surrounding the stalled car of Mr. and Mrs, Justin Smith and Miss Josephine Koppes, high up in the Dead Indian country late ; last Thursday night while they were on their way to Ijike of tho Woods, was incorrect and that Mr. Jerry Young, former high school athletic star, was ill ho one of the party not of cows, but in the car. Tho occupants of the other Mcd ford cars who came to the rescue of the terrified Smith party, who had mistaken the bovine visitors for wild animals, did not eo Jorry, and it now develops that he was up in a nearby tree, and descended and later walked to the Lake of the Woods, Arriving some time next day.
