Talent, former state traffic captain In , this district, who was not ap pointed to the state police organisa tion, made chief of police, of Ash land. -. ' Blnoe August when the state traf fic squad ceased to exist, its duties having been taken over by the state police body. Mr. Talent has refused to state his plans for the future, end the above Is the first Inkling as to . those contemplated plans. The fact that Captain J. J. Mc - Mahon, well known Jacksonville and Medford man, who performed state trafflo duty In this territory for many years before transferred to duty In Multnomah county and Portland years ago, was left out In the cold when the state police or ganization was formed recently, by not being appointed a member of that force. Is pleasing to Ms many local enemies here and likewise dis pleasing to his local friends who probably outnumber the former. However It 'was not surprising to many Medford people that Joe fall ed of appointment to the stato police, t which took over, among - other duties the trarnc won, as was an Intimate friend of Hal Hoss, secretary of state, between whom and Governor Meier there has exist ed' a bitter feud since the letter assumed office. It was figured gen erally throughout the state that Governor Meier because oi nia un friendly attitude to Hoes, would make It his especial buslnsss to see that Joe was kept off the state police body. ' However, no plausable reason is known why Captain Chas. P. Tal ent and Herbert Moore of the state trafflo squad were not appointed to Mil : 'elate police, as their records were also good, when so rhsny others of the squad received ' appointments to the state police force, especially In the case of Moore, when his feat of capturing Jflngsley. h murder er, was taken Into consideration. ' ' It Is not known here as yet as to what other line of occupation J. J. McMahon will follow, but o rumor aavlned circulation the past few days that he would be associated In .some capacity with a big finance com pany of Portland. riTV COVHT 41IIHJB,- V ' BACK ROM JAUNT Judge and Mrs. (llen,n O.

Hutchison, head of the V. 0. w'her bureau of Medford. In his re. port 01 me meteorological notes lot last month. This report follows In part: "Clear, warm, dry weather with temperatures averaging well above normal prevailed throughout the month. Dally maximum tempera tures averaged higher as compared with previous records for July and minimum readings wero proportion ately high for the season. "High day temperatures and the lock of precipitation during the' month rapidly , depleted sou moisture In the Rogue River valley and In many Instances caused considerable heat damage to crops. Past weath er records for Medford and vicinity, however, indicate that extreme tem peratures of 100 degrees or slightly higher are to be expected at times during July. In 1911 the July maxi mum reached 110 degrees which Is the record high temperature for the past ill years. "In outstanding contrast to the total of 3.4S Inches In the preced ing month of June precipitation was notably lacking during July. A few scattered thunderstorms were re ported as having occurred In the surrounding mountain areas, but no moisture fell In the valley. The seasonal rainfall total remains at 13.67 Inches. The normal precipi tation for July la 0.38 Inches, the lack of which ow brings the total seasonal deficiency to 4.17 Inches. "The 'unusual- dryness of the month's weather Is Indicated by the fact that the average percentage of relative humidity as compared with, former July records, was con siderably less than previous years." ,t The Ju)y summary data follows: Max. 1 Mln.
