Kelly Orders Dealers to
Remove Improper Advertising

All persons advertising to cure
sexual diseases are to be given ten
days in which to clean up such ad
Vertisements. The last session of the
legislature passed a stringent law
against all such advertising, making
q penalty OF from 800 to $1,000 and
from six months to one year in Jail
for such advertising.
District Attorney Kelly started out
to enforce this law Saturday morning
~ giving the proprietors of drug
stores in Medford ten days in which
to clean up this sort Of advertising.
This law was passed." says the
prosecutor, because the effect of
this sort of advertising is to create
an impression in the mind of the un-
sophisticated that diseases of this
character are not dangerous and can
be cur d quickly and at no great in
convenience or expense, and 1t is
this vicious and gross misrepresenta-
tion that is the greatest contributing
factor in the wide spread of these
diseases.
Public closets are the favorite ad-
vertising places of the distributors Of
these remedies, and although the
owners Of the closets have no share
IN the profits Of this business, the

Prehistoric Bones
Are Discovered

San Diego, Cal.-Lying exposed
for years and in full view of hun
dreds of visitors at the Hotel Del
Coronado, portion of the vertebrae
of a prehistoric dinosaur has been
discovered by o. w. Bronson, mem
Der of the Ornithological Society Of
Kansas.
The discovery was made while Mr..
Bronson was walking over the sands
near the hotel. The bones have been
in plain sight for several years, but
were supposed to be those of some
common sea animal. They will be
sent to Topeka, Kan, for exhibition
purposes.
The portion OF the skeleton found
is not only of scientific interest, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bronson, but of a
great monetary value. The dino
saura is an order of reptiles, resem-
bling the early crocodile, which ex-
listed in the Trias period. Although
a number have been found in the
western states nrecent years, they
are very rare and valuable.
Coronado residents, many OF
whom have viewed the bones, were

All children on the east side Of

A Paved Road to Crater Lake.

Medford Sun: The suggestion
that a permanent highway be con-
structed to Crater Lake offered by
Editor Greer of Ashland at the Com
mercial Club banquet is a good one
This paper has suggested the same
thing many times and has repeatedly
called attention to the value of Cra-
ter Lake as an asset in the way of
establishing a tourist crop.
One thing has to be done at a
time, of course, but 1t Is not too
early to make plans toward securing
an appropriation from the state for
this purpose at the next session of
the legislature.
Such a road would benefit the en-
tire commonwealth. There Is quite
as much reason to make this a state
work as to make the Ashland exhibit
a state work. 1t Is gratifying to
know that Medford can count on
Ashland to boost for such an impor-
tant proposition.

SECRETARY FILLED
ARMORY FRIDAY EVENING
HELD To GRAND JURY.
Medford Man Bound Over by Justice
DOX.

Tom Witt of Medford, charged
with a statutory crime against Phe-
bia Witherell, was bound over to the
grand jury Thursday morning by Jus
tice DoX in Jacksonville. Attorney
Kelly will investigate the age of the
girl, which is in doubt, and probe
allegations regarding relations of
others with the girl.
A spectator at the hearing told
Prosecutor Kelly he had known Mrs.
Arthur Walsh, the girls mother, for
years and that Phebia was born in
1894 or 1895 at Yreka, which would
make her age nearer 20 years than
Is, which she claims, and would bar
her admission to the state industrial
school.

Mine Owners
Are CenSured

Washington, Jan. 12.-The federal
labor department issued Saturday q
report criticising the treatment by
mine owners of both strikers and
strikebreakers in the Michigan coun-
try.
Five mediation propositions were
outlined, all Of which the mine own
ers rejected. There was but a pass
ing reference to the Christmas eve
panic in Calumet, in which rs per-
sons perished as a result of false
fire alarm given at hall where
strikers families were holding a hol-
iday celebration.
The report contained a formal re-
cital of facts and conditions in the
strike region, as furnished to the de-
partment by the three agents it sent
there to attempt settlement of the
struggle.

APPOINTED JUSTICE.
George w. Seager Succeeds j. G..
Hurt, Who Recently Resigned.

G.. w. Seager has been appointed
justice OF the peace for the Ashland
district by the county court. The
appointment was made necessary by
the resignation OF J. G. Hurt, who
took on the duties of manager of the
Ashland Ice & Storage Company the
first of the year. The duties OF the
new office will not conflict with Mr.
Seager's duties as secretary Of the
Commercial Club and the trustees
have consented to his accepting this
office in lieu of raise OF salary,
which the club was unable to grant
at this time for lack OF funds.

The biggest audience which Ash.
land has seen for many a month
gathered at the new armory Friday
evening to witness THE Private Sec
retary." To use a well-worn phrase,
1t was the dramatic event of the
season, listened to by a typical Ash
land audience, representing all class
es, for the public felt that the cause
was a worthy one and deserving of
liberal patronage. There were over
600 spectators present when the cur
tain rose on the first act and al
though the expenses were consider
able, the company cleared the gener-
Gus sum of almost $500, which villa
be used to seat the drill hall and pay
for stage fittings. The latter is the
largest room in Ashland that is suit
able for public gatherings and the
need of seats was imperative.

this fact and the fact that the ex-

Protest Against Change.

The older inhabitants in the neigh
borhood of the Bybee bridge across
the Rogue river protest against the
naming of the new structure on the
site of the old the "Modoc" bridge
The name Modoc is not being given
because of any connection with the
Modoc war, but because Mrs. Potter
Palmer has renamed the Bybee ranch
the Modoc Orchards. Landmarks
should be preserved whenever possi-
BILE and it would seem unnecessary to
change the name of the Bybee bridge.

EVIDENCE IN SALEM HEARING
TENDS TO THAT BELIEF.
OFFICER SAYS He DOESN'T KNOW
Fact That Pacific Employees Audit
Books of Home Concern Taken to
Indicate That Competition Between
Them is More Apparent Than Real.

Salem, Ore, Jan. 12.-Does the
Pacific Telephone & Telegraph Com
Pany own the Home Telephone &
Telegraph Company Of Southern Ore
gon, in spite of the supposed sale of
the competing plants of the Pacific
company to the Home in July, 1912?
This was one of the questions
raised Thursday at the hearing of
the application of the Home COM
pany for increase of rates before the
railroad commission. 1t was during
the examination OF Manager A. j.
Vance of the Home company that
this line OF inquiry was taken up by
Commissioner C. B. Atchison.
A. ]. Vance, manager OF the Home
company, had been called to the wit
ness chair and was examined at
length by Commissioner c. B. Atchi-
son. He was asked flatly If the
Home company Is owned by the Pa
eific States company, and said he had
NO knowledge of such ownership, ex-
eept that he understood that the Pa
ofic company held 100000 worth
0f the bonds.
Audited by Bell Company.
Mr.. Vance admitted that the ac-
counts of the Home company are
audited by employees of the Pacific
company. Asked by what authority
this is done, he said it was by au-
thority of C. w. Phillips, general
auditor of the Pacific company. That
was about all the information he
could give about it.
Further questioning showed that
in several other ways the Home
company has relations with the Pa
cific company that would not be ex
pected in the case of an independent
company. Mr.. Vance stoutly main
tanned that the local company oper'
ates entirely by itself, and said he

DOES PHONE COMPANY
OWN ITS COMPETITOR?

had paid little attention to the own
ership of the stock.
"Candidly," asked Commissioner
Atchison, after pursuing these in
quiries for some time, "is it not a
fact that the Home company is owned
by the Pacific Telephone G Telegraph
Company"
May Affect Decision.
That brought the usual reply that
the winess had no information as to
that. The question of ownership
may have important bearing on the
question of rates to be charged, for
If the Home company is only in fact
branch of the Pacific company's
system, the commission may not be
disposed to allow a return on the
same basis as though it were strug-
Cling on in an Independent position.
Mr.. Vance in his testimony stated
that even with the increased rates
askel for by the company he did not
hope for any profits to the stock
holders for some time to come. All
that is expected, he declared, is to
keep up the interest and other
charges until business grows to the
point of profit. AS to the exchange
at Rogue River, he said he could see
no hope at all to make it earn mon
ey 1t was bad investment, he said,
and should never have been made.
Physical Valuation.
Other testimony during the day re-
lated to the presentation of evidence
by experts of the commission relat-

phone company's property in the
four southern Oregon towns. The
inventory submitted by the company
was questioned in some respects, and
upon the figures submitted the de-
cision of the commission will ulti-
mately be made.
/ The hearing was finished Friday
morning and the case is ready for
consideration by the commission. 1t
is expected that physical valuation OF
the plant will be fixed within short
time, preliminary to the decision on
/ rates.
