FOOTBALL is ON "
FOR THE NEW YEAR

A group of the young athletes of
the city have laid the plans for a
pleasant surprise to the Grants Pass
public for New Years day, in the
way OF football game. The affair
promises to be a bloody battle in
deed, for Medford is stung to the
quick by the defeat given on Novem-
Der 2S, and they have promised faith
fully to make the local boys eat the
old score with a lot more thrown in
for good measure. Although the
local boys won an easy victory last
time they realize that they are up
against a tough proposition for the
old Medford high school team will
be greatly strengthened by the addi-
tion of all the last years players and
some of the members of the alumni
team. This will be practically the
same aggregation which won the
southern Oregon championship last
year. Needless to say, they are fully
confident that on January first Grants
Pass people will see their warriors
wallowed in the mud and Medford
again triumphant
However, the local boys are deter
mined to fight out victory II fight
ing counts for anything and the To-
cal public can count on seeing the
real fighting spirit in working order.
The boys began practice this after
noon and VIII get into the best shape
possible for the game. The local
team will be much strengthened by
the return of several stars of old
times and as near as can be ascer-
tained the two teams will be pretty
evenly matched, with Medford show
ing a shade the stronger,
Prospects are now bright for q
record breaking crowd, as many
dollars worth of tickets have beer
sold already, and from the enthus
iasm shown by people about town the
entire public will be in attendance tC
help the boys win glorious New
Years victory. In all probability the
game will be played at the Athletic
Club grounds so the public need no
stay away on account of rain. This
game will be the greatest athletic
event Of the season for the rival cities
will be represented by exceptionally
strong teams, aside from the fact tha
this is the deciding game each team
having won one game during the
fall.

SOUTHERN OREGON ORGANIZA-
TION HERE TUESDAY.
RESIGNATION is ACCEPTED
ZONES TO Consider Withdrawal of
Rev. RObt. Mclean From
Local Pastorate.

There was special meeting OF
the Presbytery of Southern Oregon
held at Bethany Presbyterian church
on Tuesday, called for the purpose
OF dissolying the pastoral relation
ship existing between Rev. Robert
Mclean and the church. The Pres
bytery was represented by the min
listers from Ashland, Merrill, Central
Point, Medford Rogue River and
Roseburg, II. s. Prescott represent
ing the local church, In joining with
Pastor Mclean in requesting the sep
aratiOn, Mr. Prescott presented in be-
half of the church an expression Of
regret in part as follows:
while the membership of Beth
any church joins with the pastor in
requesting his separation, we wish
hereby to testify that such action is
taken with the greatest reluctance
and sincerest regrets, for we realize
that he has occupied a place in the
hearts of his people and among the
Christian workers of this community
that will be hard to fill. A quarter
of a century of growth and progress
in this church bears witness to the
fact that he not only laid its foun-
dation well, but wrought upon the
superstructure with the hand of a
master builder so that the name of
Bethany church is lifted among the
foremost in the commonwealth. IL
is only because we realize that he
has been called to a vastly broader
field, and that he is eminently fitted
for the arduous duties of that field,
that his resignation is accepted with
out a dissenting voice; and there Is
even touch of gladness upon our
regret. for we feel that Bethany
church is, in a sense, honored in
thus releasing her pastor to a mis-
sion that is Of national Importance. "
Similar resolutions Of regret we're
presented by committee of the
Presbytery Of Southern Oregon.
Mr. Mclean closes his work in
Grants Pass with the end of the
year and will leave for Albuquerque
New Mexico, to take charge of tha
work among the Spanish speaking
people of that vast territory, COM
prising California, Arizona, New Mex
leo and Texas and representing a
population Of 500 900 Mexicans.

Angeles Times explosion were given
In the trial Just ended here.
Herbert S. Hockln, former secre-
tary-treasurer of the International
Association Of Iron Workers, who
.Ortie McManlgal said started him on
his dynamiting career, was branded
by three government witnesses and

structural steel concern, who It was
that was doing the "jobs" all over
the country and Jewell told Burns

in's motive was said to have been a
desire to displace ]. J. Mcnamara as
secretary-treasurer of the union.

fessed dynamiter, Hockin was given
the office When the governments
guns were trained on Hockin during
the present trial, he was forced by
his fellow officers 10 resign.

mond both admitted that while they

Mcnamara, then known guilty OF the
Times explosion in hopes Of getting
men "higher up" the two dynamlters
pulled OF other jobs and destroyed
hundreds OF thousands OF dollars
worth OF property and endangered
human life.

writer in a French magazine tells
a curious story about how they man

Along Chinese roads, 1t seems. there
are many of these lodging houses
where the charge for a nights lodg
Ing is considerably less than cent
All the bedding provided Is one huge
mass OF feathers, into which all the
guests burrow.

but some time ago tho WHO ran

LOSSES on account OF the theft of
blankets by guests were far too large.
Something, they decided, had to DO
done. Finally an Ingenious man among
them hit on this:
Over the feather filed room of his
lodging house he hung an enormous
canvas covering. In the daytime b
hung nenr the ceiling. At night 1t wa,
lowered by means of pulleys unil II
covered the entire mass OF feathers
and all those sleeping thereon. thus
taking the place of individual blankets.
This huge canvas was provided with
a large number of small Sits through
which the guests might stick their
heads and escape sufTocation beneath
the immense covering.
Early each morning the loud pound.
ing of drum served to waken the
sleepers and warn them to get their
heads out OF the Sits in the canvas
