the House. 1t carries total appro-
priation of $1.se6.355. which is about
$275, 900 more than the same bill car

The handsome residence belonging
to Jack Morrill,, near Gold HILL was
entirely destroyed by fire Monday af-

covered by insurance The cause of
the fire is not known, but Is supposed
to have been due to a defect in the
chimney of the fireplace. No one was
home at the time of the fire except
Japanese servant, and while he
worked valiantly to save few of the
more valuable articles, practically
everything was destroyed except
few rugs. The house was one of the

nished dwellings in the valley.

Winners Of Talent
Meet Announced

The Southern Oregon track and
field meet held at Talent on May 4,
was a great success. There were rep
resentatives from Rogue River, Gold
Hill, Central Point, Phoenix, and Tai
ent to compete for the town school
trophy And contestants were en-
tered in the rural meet from Apple
gate, Puch, district IS; Belleview,
district 80; Fern Valley, Butte Falls,
district 20; Neil Creek, district 1903;
district 8, and others.
This was perhaps the largest meet
of its kind ever held in this part of
the state, and it certainly was the
most successful. There were about
200 contestants entered from the diff
ferent schools and most of them ap-
peared for all their events, this max
ing it necessary for the judges to
do very rapid work in order that
every event might be carried out ac-
cordng to schedule.
Phoenix was successful in the town
section and they are now i'm posses
sion of the silver trophy, but at no
time during the day could it be GER
tain that they were going to win.
The final scores by towns Is as fol-
lows: Phoenix 156, Central Point
1871 Talent 1161 Rogue River 92k
and Gold Hill 2.
The highest individual point win
ners were Autumn Lynch Of Central
event, (25 out Of possible 3O) Lloyd
Lacy, Talent, (29 out Of possible 800;
Albert Henry, Phoenix, (26 of out
possible 90), and Wilbur Dunlap,
Central Point, (25 out of possible
800. Mary White, Rogue River, scor-
ed the highest for the girls, making
a total of 13 points.
Applegate was successful in the
rural meet, making 90 point to the
next schools SO. This part of the
meet was new feature but It proved
to be very popular and will no doubt
become permanent part Of the pro-
gram. The results by schools was as
follows: Applegate, 90; Ruch, 80;
District Is, 4.5 Belleview, 8; Dis
trict S2, 19; Fern Valley, 2.5; Butte
Falls, 10; District 20, s. Neil Creek,
7.
A crowd of more than thousand
people witnessed the contests, and all
reported fine time.
AS side issues at the meet some
thrilling horse contests were staged.
The first being potato race in which
eight of the local riders contested for
$3.50 cash prize and. some hand
some souvenirs. the first being offer
ed by the Talent Mercantile Co., and
the second by the Ashland Roundup
committee.
Another event was the pony block
race, which materiaIized into just the
old potato horse race, but on account
of the scarcity of potatoes, blocks
were used.
A pillow fight was staged on the
front lawn and proved to he a popu-
lar event, some of the boys showing
great ability along that line. The
winner of this event was Carleton
Morse.
