REBATE ON TAXES EXPECTED TO AID Police Unearth A "Human Mole" COMMITTEES GET L E Normal School Placed In ; Charge Historic Pageant Home Products Exhibit Will Be Largest Yet One of tha most enthusiast Us com mittee meetings held In recent months was conducted last night at the Chamber of Commerce when the gen eral committee for Oregon's Diamond Jubilee celebration met to further formulate plans for the celebration. It was announced this morning by 2. C. (Jerry) Jerome, chairman. Every phase of the celebration was covered In dete.ll and each commit tee chairman brought In a report and received Instructions to go ahead with his particular part of the pro gram. The most important phase of the celebration will be the historic pag eant which will be conducted under! the chairmanship of Professor Irving E. Vlnlng of Ashland. . Arrangements have been made for the pageant to be staged by the Southern Oregon Normal school, and the theme of the entire pageant will be written and directed by Professor Angus Bowmer. While definite arrangements have not been made as to where the pag eant will be held, It la expected that It will be staged either at the Junior high school football grounds or at the grounds of the Senior high. Work of writing and directing the pageant Is a big Job, but members of the general committee feel that It Is in capable hands with Professor Bow mer taking care oi same, as he has had a great deal of experience along these lines. Mr. Bowmer Is professor of dramatics at the Southern Oregon Normal school. -Another feature of the celebration which will attract a great deal of at tention will be the pioneer parade, and many novel features will be In troduced Into this which have not been conducted elsewhere m far as Is known. Professor Vlnlng has up pointed J. Verne Shangle to take care of this work. Huge Products Exhibit. The home products exhibit, which will be conducted at the Armory, will be one of the largest which Oregon has wltnesed for years. The commit tee nas authorized W. A. Gates, the chairman of the exhibit, to draw up contracts and Immediately contact the manufacturers of the state In order to have them sign for space. In this work, Mr. Gates la receiving the wholehearted cooperation of the Oregon Manufacturers' association. The question of the publication of a souvenir booklet and advertising was discussed at length and arrangements will soon be completed for the ad vertising of the celebration through out the Pacific coast. Plan Dog Jtacee. It Is expected that dog races will be held at the fairgrounds each night and a proposition has been submitted by a person who has handled dog rices In other places. Complete dj tails regarding this feature will be available, It is hoped, within a very Short while, The beaut If icat Ion committee under Raymond Mlksche has already laid plana for beautifying the city and the surrounding country so that those who attend the celebration will be Impressed with Medrord. It Is hoped that during one after noon a band concert will be held, di vided Into two claseve, one for fra ternal and municipal bands end the other for high school bands. Wilson Walt la in charge of this a-nd will Immediately contact Oregon bands, urging their support for the contest for which prlees will be given. HI Mori ml Skit Contest. An entirely new Idea wsa injected Into the meeting last night which met with the approval of all present, It was suggested by Professor Vlnlng that a historical exit contest be con ducted during one day of the oele brat Ion and entrance be confined only to the schools of higher learn ing In the state, Mr. Vlnlng has ap pointed Ralph Bailey of the Medford high school to work out the details on this. It is proposed to establish an ex hibit of relics at the old courthouM In Jacksonville, and C C. Dunnlugton of Jacksonville will act as chairman of this phase. The committee be lieves that many people throughout the Rogue River valley have old-time relics which they will be glad to lend and an exhibit of this nature will undoubtedly attract a great deal of attention. Question of street decorations will be left entirely to the retail mer chants' committee of the Chamber of Commerce, John Moffatt, chairman, and the general committee has In structed Mr. Moffatt to go ahead and make his arrangements as soon a possible. , Committeemen Go Ahead. Practically all the committee chair men have been authorlred by the general committee to carry out their respective arrangements at once and It is expected that within a short time complete plans will be formu lated. A school essay context will be con ducted throughout the at a to of Ore gon, with many prises being offered for the best essays submitted. C. Glenn Smith, principal of the high school, will have charge of this part of the program. Question of a queen contest was discussed at length and It was de cided that inasmuch as the celebra tion Is state-wide tha,t It was hardly feasible to put on a regular elimina tion contest. In Its place, however, the committee decided to have a queen mother selected, who will be the oldest pioneer In Oregon, and that each county be asked to provide a princess, Murh Work Ahead.

FOR BEAUTY TEST AS A beauty contest has broken out In the ranks of the Gleemen whlcvh has resulted la a stampede to a lo cal photograph gallery where clad In armored shirts and stiff col liars the members are recording their manly pulchritude. Powder puffs, rouge and lip-sticks are barred as accessories but George Peckham, basso-profundo, was re ported seen In a cosmetician's estab lishment with his face in a mud- pack. Other members also aver that Doc But lei and Gordon Pratt have been resorting to curling Irons and peroxide In an endeavor to outrank competltora. These artifices are con sidered technical violations of the code and Director Jim Stevens Is worried with the fear that open dis sension may flare at any time. On the grounds of professionalism the wlKard accompanist, Apollo, has been ruled out of the competition because according to mythology a member of his family won a similar contest a few thousand years ago. This edict has narrowed the race down to Marmle Olson representing the blonde type and Francis Nandle the brunettes. "Red" Denman how ever la making a fight and It la al leged has been buying votes right and left. In spite of his complex ton he may prove to be a dark horse. The pictures will be displayed In some prominent window downtown aome time this week and the reac tion of the public Is eagerly await ed by the contestant!. First prlre means a free trip to Crater Laks on snow shoes and a free swim In the lake for the winner. It la honed thst the exhibition of the pictures will not keep anyone away from the concert, for the Glee men really sing much better than they look.
