A year ago HaII was captured at Yreka after he had kidnaped a cus toms Inspector at Seattle Heights. Wash., had trussed and gagged him and stuffed him In the rear compart ment of an automobile, and then had fled with him through Washington and Oregon to the vicinity of the Oregon-California line, where the or flcer was handcuffed to a tree. A traffic policeman and a deputy sheriff were shot to death by Hall, and the latter was wounded when a posse closed in on him at Yreka after a farmer had released the custom.? officer, who spread the alarm.

Pub lic Health Service, a dental survey will shortly be conducted in south ern Oregon, by the Southern Oregon Dental Society. It was announced this morning by Dr. Burt L. Lageson, president. The U. S. Public Health Service Is carrying on a nation-wide survey, and in each state a commit tee has been appointed to do the work. The state committee has ask ed the Southern Oregon Dental Soc iety to take care of southern Oregon in this regard, and Dr. Lageson has appointed a committee to work out the details, composed of Dr. B. R. Elliott, chairman; Dr. J. S. Johnson, and Dr. C. C. Goldsberry. The survey will be confined to school children, and the local com mittee has been assured of complete cooperation by Superintendent E. H. Hedrlck. It Is expected that all den tists in Medford will assist the com mute so that the survey can be thoroughly done and be completed without unnecessary delay. This will entail a certain amount of time as each child will be given a thorough and complete examination. Upon completion of the local sur vey, all the records will be forwarded to the U. S. Public Health Service, Washington, D. C, where they will be properly tabulated. It Is believed by the local com mittee, that the survey will be of great value also to the parents of the children, as defects may be found which may be detrimental to the child's health. Naturally there will be no charge for the work, as far as the dentist are concerned, and everyone is asked to cooperate to the fullest extent o that Med ford's records may be forwarded to Washington as soon as possible.
