The relief committee stated that the progress Is particularly gratify ing in the sewing, relief canning and wood cutting projects, all of which embody self-help. At the present time, the report stated, logs are being cut In the hills west of Central Point and are being trucked Into the relief wood' yard to be worked, out In the form of winter fuel by needy families. The sewing project, which Is being coordinated with the welfare ex change, under the direction of Miss Helen Carlton, Is providing many fam ilies with rehabilitated clothing for winter use. Announcement yesterday from the relief headquarters revealed that 55,- 000 cans of food stuffs have been preserved In the valley canning kitch ens to date. A warning was Issued from the relief committee that un authorized diversion of any property, canned under the relief project, or any other government relief commod- j Ity used by persons and households, Is punishable under the criminal code by a fine of from 5,000 to 10,000 or from five to 10 yean In Jail, or both. The report continued with a state-! ment that eTfort will be concentrated upon the Bear creek project until a more complete excavation of the chan nel area has been effected In antici pation of winter rains. Further work on the Hoxy Ann pro ject will be held until a future d.tc with this In view. All of the first planned details of the Roxy Ann pro ject were completed at the spring area during the past week, resulting. the report says, in a beautiful recrea tional site. A project located Just south of Medford. the widening, deepening and cleaning of Crooked creek, will be completed within the next work week. This work was Instituted as a meas ure of flood control. Project In the city of Ashland arc progressing satisfactorily, according t the report, with the completion of the Ashland sewage project and the start of the park development pro Jeot. The latter Is In the nature oi a first unit of a larger project plan ned by the city of Ashlsnd as fx major part of this winter's work tv Hof program. Due to the decrease of avallablr private employment, and the ensnr In weather conditions, the repot l stated that a slight Increase in the number of relief workers has been noticeable in the last few days. C.C.C. RAGE RIOT One of the year's best rumors kept Medford In an uproar for a few hours Friday evening. It started with a state police con vention, a CCC train movement and a telephone call. A number of colored and white CCC members hnd been seen In Med ford Friday as they prepared to en train for the middle west. A few hours later, a squad of seven state police cara were seen rushing to the fair grounds. Somebody spread the report that a race riot had been staged among the CCC men and thr.t the state police hBd been mobilized to stop It. In a few minutes Med ford citizens were rushing madly to enjoy the affair. The rumor was embellished, as all good rumors should be. with the com plete details. The white boys hnd drawn a line through the fair grounds, said the report, and dareil the blacka to cross It. The negroes crossed It and the place ran red, so Dame Rumor said. Investigation revealed that Charts P. Brennan, suspected Myrtle Point axo slayer, had been reported seen at the fair grounds. Nine state po licemen, gathered here for a district meeting, were notified by telephone and they hastened to the scene. Bren nan could not be found. Officers at district headquarters scoffed at the report of race trouble. Although the colored and white mon have been working together peace fully for many months, the colored men are being returned to their home corps areas to be nearer thelt own cities. At the same time the "rare riot" waa reported, the special tram was soveral hours out of Medford and there wasn't a colored enrollee near the headquarters detachment. TO 'HARVEST DAYS' Farmers of Jackson county are urged to lend their co-operation with the merchants of Medford In the promotion of "Harvest Days" which will be celebrated Friday, Saturday and Monday, October 5. 8 and 8. It was announced yesterday by W. F. Isaacs, chairman of the retail mer chants' division of the Jackson Coun ty Chamber of Commerce. It Is expected that farmers will bring their products to the various retail stores in the city for exhibi tion purposes in the windows so that overyone may see first hand what Is raised In Jackson county. An added Incentive In this pro gram Is the fact that on Friday and Saturday next the Shasta Cascade Wonderland association will convene I here and by having the windows of the stores display farm products the opportunity will be afforded for hun dreds of Callfornlans to see them. Many merchants ae contacting farmers In order to arrange for the display but It Is sugfsted by Mr. Isaacs that farmers make arrange ments with the various merchant? the early part of this week. Mr. Isaacs himself has made arrange ments for a window in The Toggery of a display of filberts and It Is hoped by Chamber of Commerce of ficials that vegetables and fruit rais ed In the valley will be given mucn prominence during the Harvest Days sale. Farmers who would like to co-oper- not able to contact merchants tte ate In this movement and who ar? aAkfd to get In touch with the Cham ber of Commerce and arrangements will be made for the various exhibits In the stores. T The Medford Gleemen have made final arrangements for their first con cert of the season, to be presented at the Pelican theater In Klamath Falls, Monday, Oct. 29. A well-balanced program consisting of 14 numbers -will be presented at this time, with much of the music recently acquired and perfected. James Stevens, director, and Roland Beach, president, are enthusiastic over the concert, and state that the member ship of their organization has now Increased to 40 singers. In preparation for the concert, the Gleemen are requested to meet for rehearsal next Tuesday night at 7:30 o'clock In the courthouse auditorium. 1TE0 KRIDERir E. M. Hussong from the faculty of the Senior high school reports that a specimen of Klder's Hawk (Buteo borealls Krlderll), has been brought to his biology class for Identification, and that, from report, a few others have been seen In this locality. This Is a beautiful fairly white hawk with body resembling a pigeon, but the upright poise of a hawk. It can be easily approached which makea it the easy prey of hunters, though it Is In fact one of the most valuable of birds to the farmer and orchardlst. Its food consists entirely of field mice, rats, gophers, squirrels and other injurious mammals, never known to molest barn-yard fowls or other birds. It should be allowed the happiest and safest freedom as the balance of worth tips decidedly in Its favor. IS OPERATING AS With the recent erection on Berke ley lane, north of the Wing orchards, of a plant for the manufacture of table sorghum,, a new Industry has been Introduced on a sizeable scale in the Rogue river valley. The plant, owned and operated by B. O. Lock wood and son, has been producing a finished product, manufactured from sorgo cane grown locally, for the pastfl three weeks. One thousand gallons of the table syrup, which la used as a spresd for hotcskea, and as a cooking medium for cookies, ginger bread, and fancy pastries, have been produced by the plsnt, so fsr. The market for the syrup Is found throughout all of Ore gon and northern California, and much of the product has been sold In the valley, both through retailers and at the mill. Although table sorghum has been produced In the valley la the past at small mills, the Lock wood plant Is the first to make the' Industry one of appreciable nature In southern Oregon. The seed for the sorgo cane, which Mr. Lockwood first planted In the valley last April, Is obtained from the east. Several varieties of the cane are being Introduced, Mr. Lockwood said, chief among which are "honey dew" and "honey." Twenty-five acres of the cane have been planted, and It is the hope of the owners of the mm to in crease this acreage to 50 next year. The cane grows from 13 to 13 feet high In the better varieties, and some times reaches a diameter of two Inches. In the manufacture of the syrup, the cane, after being harvested, lsj pressed through a series of rollers. where the Juice, which comprises 50 per cent of the cane's' weight. Is re moved. The Juice la then placed In containers where sediment and Im purities such as parts of the stalks are taken out. The Juloe then runs Into an 18-foot evaporating pan, ! where It is heated, the rest of the Impurities come to the surface In a foam, and the syrup comes out a fin ished product. The syrup, which Is kept uniform by use of a hydrometer. Is manufactured at a rate of 15 gal lons per hour, with from seven to nine gallons of csne Juice required for one gallon of syrup. The product averages 120 gallons or more from an acre of cane. The table sorghum contains no soda or other chemicals, and is noted for being much thicker and heavier than many western varieties. It Is put up st the plant, where besides Mr. Lock- wood and his son, six men are em ployed, in 24-ounce bottles, snd In 2 -pound. 5-pound, 10-pound and 5 -gallon tins. The plant Is open to visitors who may be interested In Inspecting the process of manufacturing the syrup.
