"IcuKMt and if ill I lip "The committee in charge of the Clean-up and Palnt-up Campaign Is making splendid progress and pres- ent indications are that the effort to rie extended during the week of April 8rd will be productive of very splendid results," stated J. O. Carie, chairman, today. "Wo hare already had several prom lsee that remodeling and painting work will be done and by the time the campaign opens, we believe this number will have greatly Increased further stated Mr. Carle. At a meeting of the general com m It tee held this week a definite pro gram was outlined and Is now being perfected by those who have been given certain responsibilities In eon- neotion with it. The Med ford Real Estate board has been ssslgned the task to cover the r--i.1rr.ttal district and late reports are that a considerable amount of painting can be expected by the time the campaign opens. At a meeting on Friday last the Real Estate board passed the follow ing resolution with regard to the campaign being sponsored by the chamber of commerce: Wo heartily commend the cham ber of commerce for Initiating the movement to Improve the appearance of Med ford and the Rogue River val ley. We fully realise the Importance of this movement and pledge our full support and earnest efforts to cooperate to the end that Med ford present a more pleasing picture to the new comer as well as arouse feeling of self pride In the home folk. Arrangements are being made for speakere to appear before clubs and various groups of citizens under the direction of Col. W H, Paine. Much encouragement In this regard has been received from TB H. Hedrlck, su perintendent of schools, who is n thuslsitlo over the campaign and will see that speakers appear before the school groups. The Med ford Garden olub will shortly outline a definite program to tie In with the remainder of the cam paign It is expected that the retail mer chants will within a few days organ- lfte a committee to canvass the down town business sections In order that the various business blocks may take on a brighter appearance with the -help of some paint and varnish, In this connection It may be noted that price of paint and varnish Is steadily going up and those who an ticipate dolmj work on homes or business buildings should take ad vantage of present prices before fur ther raises in price ire announced. The board of directors of the cham ber of commerce at Its meeting last Friday, decided to set an example and the building committee has been Instructed to see that the chamber of commerce building, both Inside and outside, In put Into first class shaps and repainted. Vntant lote and alleys of the olty will be given special attention and a committee will see If something can be done to make improvements in this teg awl. The organisation of the complete campaign committee la being effect ed as fast as possible and it Is ex pected that the American Legion, sere rice clubs, Women's Greater Ore gon association, Greater Medford club, Garden club, Boy Scouts, Coun ty Health unit and all other organi zations In the city and county will be given a definite assignment before the program is definitely establish ed. The encouragement which we have so far received leads us to believe that the campaign will be an entire success," continued Mr. Carle, "and this can only be accomplished by ev eryone pulling together and present ing a united front." Within a few days a meeting of the general committee will be called to go over the program so far made end complete the various committee as- igntnenta In order that the organl- naUm set-up shall be completed be fore the campaign actually gets un derway.

L. MaoDonald, chair man of the publicity committee to day. "I do not know If there Is a derth of bog callers In this territory or whether people are negligent In send ing in the entry blanks, but we sin cerely hope that within the next few days we shall receive a large number of contestants," stated Mr. M&cDo ald. The program, as at present ar ranged, calls for the hog calling con test to start punctually at 11:00 a. m., and the contestants will all shout down the Southern Pacific tracks towards the north where the Judges will be stationed at various points under the direction of Mr. Horace Bromley. Prizes of $10, as, and $2.50 will be awarded by the retail mer chants of the city, both in the men's and women's divisions. Considerable Interest is being tak en m the contest by those who ex pect to witness It and It Is hoped that entrant will come in In larger numbers before Saturday. It Is be lieved that a large number of farm ers will be on hand to cheer their friends who will be participants in the contest. As an sdded attraction for Satur day, March 2Sth, the Southern Ore gon Mining sssoclatlon will stage an other gold panning exhibition on the Southern Pacific lot opposite the Chamber offices. The organization sponsored a similar event two weeks ago which was attended by over five hundred persons and It Is expected that the one scheduled for Saturday next will be witnessed by a far great er number. The exhibition this week will not only include a gold panning contest for men and women but will present for the first time In Medford mechanical operated gold saving de vices and will undoubtedly be of great Interest to those who are close ly following the mining situation here st the present time. Since the last contest sponsored by the Mining association the number of visitors calling at Its headquarters has greatly increased and those close to the situation are convinced that the contest la a splendid means of creating Interest in the opportunities afforded in this section for mining. The Mining sssoclatlon exhibition, will start at 3:00 p. m. and coupled with the hog calling contest for 11:00 m., should be the means of bring ing to Medford a big Influx of visit ors.
