The state Is now liquidating its-holdings and sales are Increasing with the upturn In real estate and the Improvement of general economic conditions. So tar this year the state has sold more of Its properties than In the four previous years combined."

It la estimated that realty transfers In Jackson- county In July were about 40 percent above those In the same month of 1935. - Realty men state that activity has continued at a fast pace during the summer months when ordinarily a lull can be expected. They predict a spurt In the purchase of homes and suburban tracts. this fail. Demand for Tracts Garl Y. Tengwald, real estate agent and Jackson county representative of the veteran aid commission, said that Id the past 90 days the realty market has been more active than at any other time in the past six years. "So many tenants have been com pelled. to move from .place to place because of the sale .of their resi dences that they are becoming anxi ous to own rneir own homes," Mr. Tengwald stated. He related that there Is a heavy de mand for small' suburban tracts of five -to ten acres with all Improve ments, a demand, he added, that cannot be met. He predicted that before long some of the large tracts of the county will be divided .and Unproved to meet the demand.

CHEMAWA FIRST TIGER OPPONENT; MARSHFIELD NEXT The colorful Chemawa Indians will rurnlsh the first football opposition for the 1936 edition of thr Medford high school Tigers, roach Bill Bower man said yesterday u announctnR the lineup of games for the year. The Rnme will be playt-d here Ootolnr 3. Effort to sign an earlier game have so far failed, although negotiations nre not yet completed. On October 10 the Tigers will raid Marshfield for the laet any-from-home encounter until Nov. 21, when Medford plays Salem at Salem. Rase burg will be plftyed here on Ocober 17. and on October 24 the Tigers play Grants Pass h'rv. What is expected to be the toughest same of the year win be apainst Klamath Falls here on October 31. with the bluRcst crowd In .evenU years anticipated after athletic relations were nearly niptured as an aftermath of a close game at Klamath Falls in sub-freezing tem perature last yenr. The Ashland team will probably play here on Armistice Day. Bower man eald, although that la not yet certain. Last year the Tigers were given 350 to play In Ashland, but the OrlK?llea are asking 500 for he Medford game this yenr. Such a sn will probably be found prohibitive, the coach aald. The Salem game will mark the first time In history that the Tigers have tangled with the Vikings on their home grounds, although- the two schools have been meeting in foot ball for many years. Last season the Tigers mowed down the northen squad here by the lop-sided count of 42-6. The Eureka team, put on the regu lar schedule for a home-and-home series under the regime of Darwin K. Burgher, now head conch at Boise, Idaho, high school, will not be played this year, Bower man said. Oiher teams will be contacted In an effort to bring the schedule to eight or nine game. Bowerman said. An Innovation adopted by Bower man in basketball will be Introduced into football this year, with a Sophomore shocks squad. This team will scrimmage with the varsity, and will play secondary high schools In the valley in special games. By the system Bowerman expects to provide games for twice the regular number of players, enlivening the season for those who would ordinarily bo forced to alt on the bench because of their size or other factors. Pre -season Indications are that the Medford line will be heavier than the last year forward wall, with a smaller backfleld. Despite the fact that pros pects' last year Indicated a rosy sea son for 1036. Coach Bowerman. and Asslsant Coachea Klrtley and "Finch, are frankly worried about the coming squad's outstanding aars are gone, squad's outstaning stars are gone, with Bob "Smithereens" Smith, line cracking halfback; Stan Kunr.man, small but fiery end. and John Dlck 1 Inson. stocky guard, all smduated 'and planning to attend college. Dick I lnson is signed at Oregon State, with ; Smith and Kunrman casting their fortunes with Oregon. ALBERT STRATTON CALLED BY DEATH Albert Elliott.
