bach from San Francisco:

for Medford of Crater Lake pictures,
but have been delayed in having them
hung!
s,,"I hope, when the time is ripe, to
have some feature display of the Ash
land mineral waters. I have some
thing in mind, but 1t will take several
hundred dollars to construct it, Here
not a cent should be spent except on
displays different from any others, or
it will not attract attention.
My wife and took in the illumi-
nation of the exposition grounds last
Saturday evening. It is simply won
derful, and so simple that | believe
it would pay you to come down here

Medford Boy ElOpes
With Ager Girl

A nearly heart-broken mother is
happy and two young people have
learned valuable lesson as a result
of the outcome of an incident which
was brought to the notice of the local
police Tuesday morning. A woman
who gave her home address as Ager,
Cal, accosted one of the patrolmen
early Tuesday morning and between
sobs asked that the police aid in the
search for her daughter, who had
run away from home with a young
man from Medford. 1t seems that
the young couple were desirous of
getting married, but parental objec-
tions forced them to the world old
expedient of eloping, and the girl,
who is only II years of age, left home
without leaving any word of her in
tentions. The mother followed her
daughter over here and was almost
frantic. She told the officer that all
that she wanted was for the young
folks to get married and come home.
The police of the valley were all put
on the lookout and the couple were
located at Talent. The boy, Raymond
Beige of Medford, and the girl, Mabel
Pullen, are to be married, the mother
has returned home, and God bless
you, my children" is the happy out
come.

Mr.. Bell has for many years taken
an active interest in the educational
affairs OF this state and will ably rep
resent its interests at this great
worlds exposition. He expects to
see probably one million people in the
next two months, and he can be de-
pended UPON to do his share toward
impressing them with the fact that
Oregon is mighty good state to live
in, whether viewed educationally or
|climatically, or from the standpoint
of productivity of its soil or abund-
ance of natural resources. While rep
resenting the schools, and especially
the public schools, he can be depend
ed upon to be an able ambassador for
Oregon in all lines OF endeavor and

the matter of the legality of con-
demning the old disused barns and
other unsightly buildings investigated
by the city attorney, There are many
such eyesores of this kind which dis
figure the streets of Ashland. From
time to time petitions have been re-
ceived by the council asking that such
buildings be condemned The city
attorney rendered the opinion that
whenever such buildings were found
to be in an unsanitary condition they
could be condemned by the council.
While such action on the part of the
council might be fought in the courts,
it is believed that the city has power
to enforce such condemnation pro-
ceedings and that the courts would
back up such action.
