SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 3. (AP)
The belief that Andrea Mardells and
Doris Sparks, Hollywood cosmetics
demonstrators, might haw been kid
naped was expressed here today by
F. Ware of Berkeley, Cel., step
father of Miss Mardelle.
Ware and his wife, Audrea's moth-
arrived here late lsst night to
assist in the searo) for the two young
women, who have been miming since
they started from litre to Klamath
Fslls. Ore November 11.
The desolste Scab Rock country
between Connell, Wash., southwest
here, where the girls were seen at
midnight on November 11, and Pasco,
Wash., Is being marked off prepara
tory to thorough air search.
In Vie meantime a searching party
headed by Sheriff N. J. Balllls of
Franklin county, set out from Pasco
thla momlnfg to conduct a ground
search of the area.
Sheriff O. O. Miles has expressed
the belief the girls light coupe had

Medford postmaatershlp at the
hands of the "New Desl" Democracy,
Is forecast as coming within the
monVi, and in time for the appointee
to take up the burdens of the fed
eral Job by January 1, or ahortly
thereafter.
The commission of Wllllsm N. War
ner, Incumbent, expires December 18.
In the Interests of efficiency during
the Chrlstmss rush, he Is not apt to
be displaced until the greatest labor
period of the year la finished. Post
m aster Warner lost August complet
ed 30 years of postal service under
the civil service, and Is subjeot to
retirement on psy under the emer
gency economy leglslstlon. Warner
started the first rural free delivery
route established In the county and
has advanced over the years, with
the rank of assistant postmsster and
then postmaster. He has held the
post for 13 years. The retiring fund
Is msde up of contributions from
postal employes and by tho civil aer
vice.
Vacancies will also occur In the
Ashland postofflce and the Gold Hill
postofflce the first quarter of the
coming year.
Fred Wagner la the Ashland post.
master. The name of John H. Fuller
Is mentioned as bla probable suc
censor. Mrs. Nellie Reed Is the Oold Hill
postmistress. H. D. Reed Is mention
ed ss the probable appointee In the
down river town.
Both Mrs. Reed and Wagner are
Republicans. Their successors will
be "old line" Democrats, according
to word from Washington, D. O. The
Democracy of all appointees will date
back before the Hoover administra
tion and the depression.
For the Medford postmastershtp.
Attorney Frank De Sours Is rated
as .having the "Inside track." He Is
county chairman, close to the state
Democartlc leaders, and his Democ
racy runs back to his first vote. He
waa bsttllng In Jsckson county for
Democratlo victory when members of
thst faith were few and far between.
He even fought for the party In the
Coolldge and prosperity era. He was
a "redhot Roosevelt man," all of
which counts, under the "New Deal."
Other long time Democrats also
mentioned are Bid I. Brown, who
never lost Vie faith either; Lewis
Ulrlch, J. Frank Wortman of Phoe
nix and Hiram Meador. Three or
four dark horses are also reported
back of the stable. Some Young
Democrats are also eyeing the berth
but they will have .to grow older,
propheta aay,
Carl c. Donaugh, Democratlo state
committeeman, and Congressman
Walter O. Pierce will have a lot to
do with the recommendations for the
county postofflces. Postmaster Gen
eral Farley, who haa the final aay, la
now in r.urope. He expects to be
back In America by chrlstmss.
Medford has not had a Democratic
postmaster sines 1920. Then Post
master General A. S. Burleson named
an old North Carolina friend to the
Job. T,he local Democratlo grief
knew no bounds as they felt a tried
and true Jackson county follower of
Jelferson should have the post. The
KepuDiicans were returned to power.

ing, at a sheriff's sale to Mrs. Corln-
thla E. Stalley. Mrs. fitalley bid 13000

facts or truth, and was the fountain
head of the Jackson county turmoil.
