but suddenly when Joe Cans arrives, a welterweight he draws the color line. Why? Is it because he is afraid of being knocked out by Cans. There are scores of clubs who will give Will son his price to box Cans. decision or no decision, and Cans will present Wilson with $1,000 in cash the moment he enters the ring to box.
 Cans has beaten Jeff Smith Jamaica Kid, Wild Burt Kenny, Frank Car bone, Cleve Hawkins Fred Dwyer George Ashe and a host of light heavy weights, and although he will box any man in the world at the welterweight limit, here is his proposition to all first class men in the three divisions: He will give any welterweight $500 if he fails to knock him out in 12 rounds: he will give $400 to any middleweight whom he fails to both knock down and win the decision from, and he will give $500 to any lightweight who gets as good a draw with him in 12 rounds or even 10 rounds. Tommy Robson of Maiden accepted a s1,000 guarantee to box Cans, but took the gate run out.

STORE COURTESY.

Some people used to give the
excuse for buying goods away from
their towns, that they liked to go
where they were not known per-
bonally. 50 they could slip out
easily If they didn't want to buy.
Years ago merchants and clerks
would sometimes get mad If peo-
pie wouldn't buy. But modern
store people have long got by that
stage If they can't sell an arti-
ele. they are anxious to be partic-
ularly polite, so that the customer
will at least leave the store with

Fortunately no livestock and only
one beef which had been butcher

department responded to a call
in order to do what they could in
protecting nearby barns. The
loss was partially covered by in
surance.
According to Nj. Barrett, the
cause of the fire has not been as
certained, the first arrivals on the

had made such progress as to
make even a guess at the source
impossible.

MANY VISITING
THE MARBLE CAVES

Despite the fact that the roads
and trails to the Josephine caves
are hard travelling and hold out
small inducement for the tender
foot" to try them out, over 800
tourists have so far this season
visited the famous caverns. This
year 1t is thought that the num-
ber making the trip will surpass
the 900 mark of last season.
Many of the tourists are from
other states. Only 2S have made
the trip from Grants Pass this
year. Medford has found out that
the caves are in existence and 35
from that city have made the trip.
Some Of the visitors were from
Alaska, a large number from Port
land and many frcm California.
A large number of other states
are also represented.
A complete register of all those
who made the trip during June
and July of this year is kept at the
Chamber of Commerce and will
be shown to anyone wishing to
look at it.-Grants Pass Courier.

PROTECTS HOME
BREW WITH GUN


Tom Murphy, junk dealer OF
Medford, was stewing up a mess
of home brew Monday. George
Douglas, who upholsters chairs
and lounges with excelsior when
ever he can get job, and up
holsters his insides with any
thing that resembles liquor when
ever he can get it, shifted Muir
phys home brew. Douglas in
sisted on going into Murphy's
house and sampling the brew.
Murphy objected; backing up
his objections with a horse pistol.
One shot grazed Douglas tenn
pie; another inflicted a slight
wound in his chest.
Neighbors and the police arriv-
ed in time to prevent Douglas TAX
ing a trip where Anti-Saloon
leagues are unknown and unnec-
essary.
Murphy is held on $4,000 bonds
to the grand jury on charge of
attempt to butcher. He also faces
a charge of having a still in his
possession.
Medford is stirred up over the
problem of how far a man can go
in protecting the sanctity of his

others claiming prices will not be

complacent feeling that it is

the railroad wage and rate raise
matter.
For while prices will OF course

where, Ashland's biggest payroll,
the Southern Pacific, will be in
creased by sum by the wage
award which will more than off
set minor rises in prices so far as
the average prosperity of the COM
munity is concerned.
Because Of the fact that exact
data on the amounts of wage in
creases have not reached the local
division point as yet, the exact
amount which the Ashland pay
roll will be increased is not known.
That 1t will run into an increase
of well over $4,000 a month
seems certain.

tions, individuals and agencies

of Miss Susanne Hcmes. to fill the
vacancy created by his resigna-
tion and gives the following sug-
gestiOn which will be of interest
to every county resident interest
ed in education:
In the hands of my successor,
her principals, teachers, assist
ants and school officers will be
left the future guidance of our
schools, so possibly suggestions are
unnecessary. However, ! wish to
add a word relative to what seems
to be a trend in education in which
all are vitally concerned. Our
school system is undergoing an
important and necessary change.
Advanced steps. are being taken
from time to time. the process
seems slow, but the time should
not be far distant when the arbi-
trary school boundary lines will
be entirely eliminated. The edu-
cation of our boys and girls is a
matter of concern to the state at
large as well as to the individual,
who under present conditions can
not give it the attention it deserves
and which was formerly possible
and necessary. The management
of school affairs, except possibly
certain community and civic in
terests, should be in the hands of
county board Of about five men,
bers whose business it should be
to establish schools, erect build
ings, employ teachers, secure nec-
essary supplies, etc.
"The little school district EN-
ploying one teacher and managed
by local board did very well in
pioneer days, but as an admins
trative unit for school purposes
1t has outlived its usefulness. Re-
cent consolidation of schools in
many parts of our county is only
an indication of the increasing
demand for a more effectives chool
organization.
"The teacher situation looks
more favorable than it did a few
months ago. Nearly all schools
are now supplied with teachers.
Salaries have been increased about
so per cent oyer those for last
year. AS result competent
teachers are being attracted. Con-
siderable interest is being shown
in an effort to bring our schools
up to a higher standard, and TAX
ing all into consideration, pros
poets seem bright for a very sue
cessful year"
