Equipment for Installation of a "hog fuel" burner In te new county court .house arrived last week and is being put In place. "Hog fuel" was substituted last winter when It was shown as efficient and more eco nomical method of beaming the court house. The "hog fuel" will be fur nished by the Timber Products com pany, the Owen-Oregon and other local mills. The chute for the trans fer of the chopped fuel to the fur nace la also under construction. It is expected that the work of placing the Indiana limestone on the exterior of the structure will start within the week. The limestone Is now being water painted and arrang ed for quick handling. Each piece of stone is cut to specifications, and will require some work by expert stone cutters. Placing of the Ash land granite on the front entrance is well under way. The Interior partitions are being installed and as soon as completed a force of plasterers will be engaged. The main work Is centralized at present on the roof, where the Jail la located, and the pouring of the concrete for this department was completed last week. The Jail equip ment has arrived for Installation. Present maintenance of progress will mean that the general construc tion on the structure will be com pleted late in June and the court house ready for occupancy by mid September.

ROGUE VALLEY YOUTH BREAKS STUDYJECORD (Continued from page one) read and write when he waj four years old, and thereafter continued with his own education so rapidly that by the time, he entered school at six he waa promoted six times mak ing 6 grades In his first year. Educa tional magazines wanted to write up this prodigy, hut were refused; In stead, hts father took him out of school and sent him on dally hikes In the hills with a sterling old pros pector, to study nature and those things not learned from books. Tet at odd times this lad picked up old famlly,text books and taught him self such subjects as Latin, German, Physics. Calculus; later took examina tions and received full credits for them; when ho entered Stanford uni versity all the chemistry he knew was what he had taught himself in the amateur laboratory he had rigged up at home. Yet at th end of that year young Ferry was awarded the gold medal as the outstanding first year student In chemistry. Other scholastic honors followed early election to and offices In both the national chemistry honorary fra ternities, Alpha Chi Sigma and Phi lamba, Upsllon; elected to Phi Bet Lamba U pal Ion: elected to Phi Beta lastlc fraternity while only in his Junior year: elected to Sigma Xi. the national research honorary fraternity when he took up graduate work while still a senior. Perry's professors potm out that his college career was not merely a "grade-making" business; the straight A's came along as a side issue to get ting all there was out of his courses, including many stiff subjects outside the chemistry department. John Ferry was taught as a child not to look for soft anaps; eventually the hard jobs became easy for him. Ferry has managed to find time to give to several outside activities at college and also to instructing oth ers; In his senior year he was teach ing a class of Juniors and seniors. He la far from being the typical high brow dlg' however, and is sociable and modest and has many friends at college and In the Rogue River Valley, where he spends his vacations with his parents on Foots Creek, employ ing part-of his time In engineering work for the Ro?ue River Gold com pany, managed by his father, D. H. Ferry. It was research work in chem ical and electrical treatment conduc ted by, John Ferry which contributed to the solving of the muddy water problem at the dredge, which has been so successful for two years straight In eliminating all discolora tion from Rogue River from Foots Creek, which was formerly a source of complaint from sprrts fishermen. The Ferry tradition at Stanford university, from which both John's parents graduated, bids fair to be car ried on by his twin sisters, Frances and Elizabeth, who are preparing for Stanford at Medford high school, and featuring a "straight A" record them selves for their three years at high school to date.
