The city council met in regular
session Monday evening. One of the
principal duties devolving upon the

most progressive towns of progress
sige Oregon, could be no less than
up to the times. 1t was the first
town in Oregon to elect a woman
for recorder and IL kept its lead by
choosing Mrs. Minnie Vogeli as coun-
Gilman. Mrs. Vogeli has been prom
inent in civic and other activities of
Talent and will without doubt make
good in the councils of the town
fathers and mothers.
The council also granted to the
Talent Athletic Club the use of two
unoccupied rooms in the town hall

first-class gymnasium, putting in

Regarding School Supervision.

Climax, Jan. 81.
To the Editor: | have just been
reading the controversy between
Judge Tou Velle and the county edu-
cational board and would like to say
this on the subject:
/ have been serving on the board
of directors of our district for the
last four years, and have done all
l could to increase the efficiency of
our district school, and l thought
that the new supervisors would be
great help to districts such as ours,
but l have been disillusioned this
last summer. During our six months
term from April to September we
received but two visits from the su-
pervisor, and they were "hurry-ups.
Late during the term we received a
long communication from the super
intendent, Mr.. Wells, in regard to
Standardization OF rural schools;
also information that the supervisor
would be out and go over it with us
and let us know what part of the
new instructions we would be called
upon to fulfill. That was the last
we ever heard of it, and the super
vision did not materialize.
Another matter is the library
books which each district is sup
posed to buy each year. We ordered
them and never got them. They are
always left somewhere for us to call
for them, and as we have to earn
our salaries" by sticking to the
ranch pretty close, We doa't get the
books. These are small matters but
of a good deal more Importance than
having a picket off the fence or a
broken window light. We have no
fence at all, so that was not our dis
trict.
In conclusion, l do not think the
supervision the rural districts have
received justifies the expense, and !
am for the Judge.

MISSING MAN FOUND.
Medford Man Missing Four Years
Located in Hospital.

Medford Sun: Four years of an
guish and heaTtaches ended for the
family of l.. w. Fansher last Thurs
day when word was received that the
father and husband who mysterious
ly disappeared from Medford Novem-
Der 23, 1908, had been located in a
hospital in San Leandro, Cal. He is
expected to return to Medford Tues
day night, accompanied by his son,
Wilbur. The disappearance created
stir at the time. Fansher was well
known and took an active interest in
civic affairs.
A few days before his disappear
ance Mr.. Fansher acted peculiarly,
but aside from members of his fam
lily no one noticed it. Mrs Fansher
has exhausted every means to locate
her mate during the last four years,
and the conclusion is a great burden
off her mind. Mr.. Fansher was a
man of education, having held the
position of school superintendent of
Pacific county, Washington.
Mrs. Fansher said Monday after
noon that she feared that her hus-
band would not live long after his
return, as her son reports that he is
! in a serious condition.
I'VE were very happy together, "
said she, and with our five children
had an ideal home. There were nc
financial worries and the disappear.
ance has always been a complete
mystery to me. My only hope now
is that my husband will retain his
reason and live long enough to be
at home once more and will take the
place that has been so long vacant
in the family. We had mourned for
him as dead, and now it seems a
strange provision of fate that he
should return only to leave us for
ever. l have not given up hope, but
might as well face the truth"

Dear Sir: | see the controversy
still goes on in regards to supervis-
ion of public schools. When we had
but one supervisor cur schools got as
much attention as they do now. /
am satisfied that one supervisor
with an office deputy can give more
efficient service than three of them
can by running to the different
schools two or three times each
term, then give the balance of the
money to the schools, so they may
have more efficient teachers. No
one will kick about taxes for main
tanning the schools, but what is the

Washington, Jan, 1.-THE govern

The decision is construed here as

ence by a combination of retailers.
