MEDFORD SITE Of
POSTOFF|CE CENTER
Of LEGAL DISPUTE

MEDF0RD, Or, Oct. 3.-Title to
the property on which the postoffice
is located is clouded, and negotia-
tions are on between Earl H. Fehl
and the government for adjustment.
The details of the dispute are as
follows:
On March 10, 1911, Uncle Sam
purchased several lots in Medford
for a postoffice site. Since then a
modern postofflce and federal court
house building have been erected on
the grounds. At that time the abb
stractors and then United States dis
trict attorney and the sheriff's Of
flee asserted that the property was
free from all incumbrance.
In 1916 Jackson county officials
decided to buy in all property on
which taxes had not been paid. An
agreement was made with the city
OF Medford to sell to the city all
property within the city limits to
protect the city on its street liens.
County officials found that the taxes
on a strip OF the postoffice property.
20 by 1875 feet, or a strip twenty feet
wide running along the alleyway for
1875 feet, had not been paid They
were S69.23.
The county took over the property
and attempted to sell 1t to the city.
Fehl brought suit to enioin the sale
and won out on the grounds that
there were no street liens against the
government PROPERTY Fehl then se-
cured title for about $145. The as
sessed value Of the property at that
time was $500.

U s. EXHIBIT AT
ALL STATE FAIRS
ATTRACTS CROWDS

SALEM, Or, Oct. 1.-The Unit
ed States department of -agrieultur,
is represented at the Oregon stat'
fair by the largest and most compre
| heusive exhibit ever shown in the
state. The exhibit is housed In the
auditorium Of the Educational build
ing and is attracting large crowds
daily. 1t is in charge of special
committee of the department, con.
sisting of Major John d. Guthrie, OF
the office of public relations of the
forest service in Portland, as chair
man; A, C. Rose, of the Portland Of
flee of the bureau of public roads
and Stanley G. Jewett, of the blolog-
ical survey, in charge OF predatory
animal work for Oregon, whose

The material making up the e1-
hibit is all new, having been pre-
pared in Washington, ID. c., and re-
Gently shipped out to the committee
and having come to Salem from the
Washington state fair at Yakima,
Wash, where it attracted a great
deal of interest. The main object of
such government exhibits is to bring
home to the public the fact that the
results OF the agricultural depart
ment's varied lines of work are avail
able for the fullest use by the peo-
pie.
Under the new plan put into ef-
feet this year this fair material of
the agricultural department is to be
kept in the northwest and exhibited
on fair circuits,
The bureau of public roads pre-.
hsents at the Salem fair large
amount of material of interest both
TO the engineer and to the public
generally. There are models of ma
cadam and earth roads, an electric
, ally-operated miniature road roller,
graphic colored transparency models
of dangerous and safe railroad cross
ings, together with a large amount
of statistical and map data.
The work of the beneficial results
or the determination of predatorN
animals and rodents destructive t0|
farm crops is shown by mounted
specimens and pelts, by the biolog-
zeal survey. One case of great in
terest to the ladies contains speci-
mems of aigrets and bird of paradise
plumage, now forbidden by federaI
law to buy, sell or have in ones pos
session.

mometers, barometers, rain. snow
and wind cages. The bureau of crop
estimates and markets contributes
charts showing the latest production
figures of various Oregon crops. The
bureau Of farm management has
large wheat proSuction model as
well as model equipment for poultry
raising. Forest pathology is repre-
sented by specimens mounted under
glass of the more common tree leaf
diseases and panels showing the
fungous diseases attacking structural
timbers in the northwest

especial prominence to the protec-
ton and use of the fourteen national
forests of Oregon

ASHLAND PEACHES
AND GRAPES SCORE
At FAIR EXHIBITS

SALEM, Or, Oct. 3.-And still
they come. Not content with win
ming a sweepstakes prize at the state
fair, jackson county today ran away
with the blue ribbon in every indi-
vidual class entered, from the
peaches to pumpkins. Here are the
winners:
Best three boxes Of pears, Anjous
and Bartletts, Paul Scherer, Central
Point.
Best three boxes of apples, De-
liclous and Winter Banana, G. M.
Frost, Ashland.
Best plate display of peaches, NJ.
j. Norris, Phoenix.
Tuscan cling, W. r. Bagley, Tai
ent.
J II. Hale peach, Albert Johnson,
Ashland.
Heaviest squash, Mrs. c. f. Gates.
"Things came in bunches," as Mar
ketmaster Runyard once remarked.
This has been Jackson county's fair
from the start. Medford's mayor
bossing the stunts and Jackson coun-
ty farmers carrying off all the prizes.
And, speaking Of prizes, it should be
noted that Ashland was there with
both feet in the prize list, carrying
everything before her in grapes and
peaches.
No one is more delighted and no
one deserves more credit than Miss
Florence Poole, the home demon
stration agent from Jackson county.
who has been an invaluable assist
ant to Messrs. Cate and Oatman. AS
a matter of fact, without her assist
ance the work would never have
been done on schedule time.
An eighteen-hour day was her
regular program the first part of the
week, and now that the strain is over
and the battle won, she refuses to
rest, but is at the booth from morn
ing to night, showing the visitors
just why Jackson county is the ban
ner agricultural and fruit county of
the state.
Old Senator LaFollette, the peach
king Of Marion, who has a statewide
reputation for saying what he thinks,
visited the Jacks--i county exhibit
this afternoon, and after looking
over the peaches for some time,
chewed his cud for several minutes,
scratched his head, then remarked
to no one In particular; "Yes, sir;
you got us beat"
George Mansfield appeared today
no state gathering would be com
plete without him-and brought
farmers from all parts Of the state to
see what southern Oregon has done.
Pop" Gates incidentally ordered a
large blue ribbon bouquet made up,
engrossed with the state seal. which
will be presented to Messrs. Cate and
Oatman, in addition to the 800
which all the counties over &C per
cent are awarded This seal will be
properly hung and photograph
taken.
Mayor Gates, Of Medford, is still
going strong. Last night he pre-
sented new carnation called the
Ben Olcott to Governor Olcott and
his party with an appropriate speech,
which could be heard throughout
the fair grounds, Saturday, as rep
resentative of the fair board, he gave
the main speech at the dedication of
the new G. AR. building at the fair
grounds, before large audience
and he was given a most enthusiastic
