PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFOKD, OREGON, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1935, LYNCH MOB INVADES JAIL CELL PRIZE WINNER AT FLOWER POT SHOW 5 2:1,,2 FREEZING STUNT CITY PARK TONIGHT T A description of the development program now under way In the Port Orford area was presented before the members of the Medford Rotary club by Gilbert E. Gable, president of six companies, active in the promotion of this eoctlon of Oregon. The Ro tarlana and guests who attended to day's luncheon at the Hotel Medford heard Mr. Gable tell of the potential ities of the vast area which he termed "America's Last Frontier." Mr. Gable heads the Oregon Engi neering Corporation. The Port Orford pock to Terminal Corporation. The Trans-Paclflc Lumber Corporation. The Trans-Paclflc Lumber Sales Cor poration. The Last Frontier Realty Corporation, and the Gold Coast Rail road. He holds an honorary member ship In the American Museum of Natural History of New York for his explorations in the Painted Desert. The speaker introduced his inter esting talk In a brief description of Navajo tribal ceremonies on the Painted Desert, followed by facts con corning the mineral and timber re sources of the vast territory surround ing Port Orford where his companies are active. He predicted geat future prosperity for "America's Last Fron tier", backed by a long period of re search in southwestern Oregon. "Ten percent of the standing tim ber in the United .States lies within the radius of 100 miles of Graveyard Point," according to Gable. "Trcmet) dons 'coal deposits, copper second only to the Anaconda fields and vast chrome deposits lie in the regions ad jacent to Port Orford. With extensive imports of chrome from foreign coun tries, the development of chrome mines alone will be a tremendous in- dustry." the speaker said. Mr. Gable described the fine Port Orford dock now nearlng completion and told the Rotojlans that the first shin to use this dock would arrive on Sept. 2nd, initiating regular lumber sailings to San Pedro. The mill, re cently constructed adjacent to Port Orford, the nucleus of future exten stve lumber operations. Is operating In two shlfta with lftO.000 board feet canacltr. The projected railroad to Leland would have a water grading, he eald, with a maximum grade of one percent and an average grade of one-quarter of one percent. . 'We are not concerned with rail road development at the Immediate time," Mr. Gable said. "It Is our aim to have the Port Orford dock In oper ation and our mills and mines in order first, and the railroad develop ment Is sure to come." Mr. Oable concluded his interest-. Ing talk with a cordial invitation for members of the Medford Rotary club to attend the opening ceremonies for the Port Orford dock to be held on Labor Day, September 2nd. He paint ed an Interesting picture of the elaboiate program planned for the occasion. - ' Id ' k t .'--tKfi L p. - . a.j : A TUMmammimM ttfrnivirim.inirrr t " A band of masked men dragged Clyde L.

(AP) Two leaders in, medical science stood to day on the assertion that Ralph B. Wlllard of Loe Angeles can no more freeze Stephen SImkhovltch to death and revive him, than he can reas semble a scrambled egg. Dr. Iao Galdaon, secretary of the New York Academy of Medicine, said that when the 80 per cent of body tissue which Is water Is frozen, prot oplasm disrupts and can't be restor ed. Dr. Morris Flahbein of Chicago, ed itor of the American Medical Jour nal, said Wl Herd's monkey freezing was "probably achieved by a neat trick of substitution which any com petent magician could perform."

I have tended with such care: I know It will fade with the summer. Leaving only a memory fair. I have a love that la far more sweet Than any rose that may bloom. Oh, It will fade when youth Is gone. Leaving only a memory's gloom. For I know the sun will cease to shine If the light of this love grows dim. My poor heart would starve and wither With only a memory of him. Yet life Is made of memories dear, From morn to clow of day; For we dream of love of beauties When our Ideals are away. Mary O. Carey. PORTLAND, Ore!, Aug. 13. (API E. L.
