Look Out for Coins
That Say "Thud''

Five dollar gold pieces should be
scrutinized carefully. At least coins
purporting to be gold should be in
vestigated by the -honored
methods Of ringing on the counter or
in some other way before acceptance.
The reason lies in the fact that coins
made of lead are said to be in circu-
lation in the valley, two or three hav-
ing appeared in Medford. The coins
are said to be a good imitation of the
real thing but will go "thud" instead
of ting if dropped.

from the spring. This last method
carried with it the risk of sedimental
deposits in the pipes in transit, and
in some cases inadequacy of carbona-
tion. The commission examined care
fully into each plan and finally Sc
decided that the best method to adopt
would be to force the water direct
from the spring in its natural state.
This method was followed. 1t had
this distinct advantage over the 9TH

The stores of the city will be
closed Monday, New Years day.
Most of the business houses of the
city are now busy with invoicing and
preparing for odd-lot sales and other
winter sales. The past holiday sea-
son was profitable one for most Of
the stores, buying being freer than
prior to any Christmas for a number
of years. Not only were more good
bought, but in most cases higher
quality of goods.

Mayor Lamkin Says
''No Radical Changes

The most important and, to the
average citizen, the most interesting
council meeting of the year Of 1917
will take place next Tuesday night,
January 2, at the city hall council
chamber. Mayor Lamkin will take
his place in the chair after being
sworn in by Mayor Johnson, and
Councilman Caldwell will replace
Councilman Ashcraft. Recorder
Winner will wield the pen.
After the usual preliminaries the
portion of the procedure in which the
public is most vitality interested, the
appointment of officers and superin-
tendents of the city departments, will
take place. Mayor Lamkin, when in
terviewed, would not make any state
ment regarding the appointments
which he intended making and con-
fined himself to the statement that
there VIII be no radical changes"
The police department, of course,
will be turned inside out, Chief Por-
ter having resigned to enter other
work and Patrolman Winner going
into the recorders office. Who the
new chief will be is matter for
conjecture only and that appointment
will be eagerly awaited. But one
patrolman will be appointed as the
fund for police departmental work
has been cut down for 1917.
Whether there will be any changes
in the superintcndencies remains to
be seen.

Reports for the year from the
heads OF the various departments

sociation should have several hun
dred members. Those who wish to
join may do so at Dodge Bros. store.
Primary Aim.
The primary aim, of course, of the
association is to protect the steel

and its tributaries by working for a
closed river and stopping the meth
DDS used by the cannery at the mouth
which have kept the fish from com
ing up the river. However, the asso
citation will make every game prob
lem its problem and will become a
great big, live factory in the COM
munity.

The club voted to send delegates
to Salem should Representative
Thomas, who is engineering the
closed river fight in the legislature
call for them. The lower valley or
ganizations will send several dele
gates.
Resolutions.
Several resolutions were passed
and will be forwaIded to the south
