PARTS OF REPLY
A motion to strike from the reply
of Nledermeyer, Inc., In their suit
against Earl Fehl and the Pacific
Record-Herald (or collection of a
promissory note and chattel mort
gage for 96446, a goodly number of
paragraphs and portions of para
graphs, was filed In the circuit court
late yesterday,
Fehl alleges that portions of the
reply to his answer and counter claim
for $22,000 for services rendered are
"Irrelevant, redundant, sham, and
frivolous." Fehl claimed 910,000 for
promotional efforts, approximately
97100 as bis commission for the
construction of the 971,000 Holly the
atre, and 95000 as his share of the
lot value upon which the structure
stands.
The reply set forth that Fehl laid
no claims for services In the shape
of fees or commissions, that "en
hancement of Sixth street values
would be reward"; that ,he was em
ployed as a general foreman, and paid
therefor, at a substantial rate and
L. Nledermeyer furnished the fin
ances, and attended to most of the
business In connection with the con
struction. The motion to strike further con
tends that the action should be held
to an "accounting basis."
Attorneys Kelly & Kelly, T. J. En
right and H. K. Hanna appear for
the defense, and Attorney George
M. Roberts and William McAllister
for plaintiffs.

Sixth and Holly. '
Contract to aupply fuel for the
coming year to the senior hlg,h and
Washington school bultdlnga haa been
awarded to the Owen-Oregon Lumber
company by the Medford board of
education, It was announced today.
The contract provmea ror 300 units
of fir hog fuel at (3.40 a unit, and

delivered to the bins at the two
schools.
Explaining the school board's pref
erence for hog fuel as a meana of
heating the buildings, Supt. E. H.
Hedrlck thla morning reviewed the
experiences of the past year, which
showed that the school board heated
the buildings with hog fuel for one
third the cost of oil required in the
heating of corresponding space.
The two new buildings were last
year equipped for burning of hog
fuel, or sawdust, and the board made
lta Initial attempt to aubstltute hog
fuel for oil. The program proved
even more satisfactory than antici
pated, Superintendent Hedrlck atated
today.
Costa checked at the close of the
heating season In May showed that
the cost of heavy oil at the Junior
high school, with a radiation of 8400
feet, was 91547.45. Cost of heating
the high school, with a 30,000 foot
radiation, with hog fuel was S1228.38.
At tha Washington achool, with a
radiation of 6000 feet, the coat was
(392.75. The total for the two build
ings, with 26,000 feet space, amount
ed to (1,621.13, while the Junior high
school, with less than one-third the
load, cost the district (1547.45.
In the early fall aorne trouble waa
encountered at the high school due
to the mechanical arrangement of the
grates. Thla was soon Ironed out,
however, and aatlsfactory heating of
the building accomplished.
Through keeping close check on the
parallel casea throughout . the year.

SPLIT IS
(Continued frutn Page One.)
Zorn said John Ramage ana other
merger leaders are also dissatisfied
with the alleged Interference of Cyril
Brownoll with their plans, "We hired
only Slocum," Zorn said, "and
Brownell came into the picture with
out our consent."
The head of the group sponsor
ing the bill said the campaign on
oehalf of the bill has, thus far, been
financed by "prominent Portland
residents, who desire the merger as
a step toward economy, but are not
yet ready to have their namea made
public." He Intimated that the
names of the persons would be re
vealed within a few days.
