MAY TAKE SPECIAL
EXAMINATIONS ON SEPT. 1

The beginning of the first semes-
ter Of the local school is only one
week away, and the teachers and
pupils are getting set for the year.
Superintendent Briscoe is endeavor-
ing to have everything in perfect
shape on >the opening day, and to
that end has issued the following
requests.
Any grade or high school pupils
wishing to remove failure in any
subject may take examination at the
Senior high school building Friday
morning, September 1, 1922.
All high-school pupils who have
taken subjects in a non-standard
high school should take examina-
tions at this time, for the state de-
partment of education requires this
to be done before credit for such
work may be accepted by standard
high schools.
The division line between Junior
high school and the Hawthorne
school will be Pioneer avenue. All
children from grades one to six in
elusive, living on the east side Of
Pioneer avenue, will go TO Haw.

the west side of the avenue will 60
to the Junior high school.
Patrons will help in rapid and
successful organization of the school
term by seeing that all children are
IN attendance at the opening of
school. A few days missed at the
beginning of term may retard
child whole semester, and put all
at disadvantage when working
should be at their best.
Beginners who will be six years

1922, should enter school at the be-
of the fall term, but the

COUNTY FAIR BOARD
CONIPLETESsMOR DETAILS

The semi-monthly meeting of the
Jackson county fair board took place
Wednesday night at Medford. and
further details of the coming fair
were discussed and settled.
Besides the races which have been
previously announced, the board has
obtained an autocycle polo team,
which will entertain the public each
day during the fair.
A disappointing feature came up
at the meeting in connection with
the Andrews opera, which it was
thought could be obtained, as word
from Mr.. Andrews to the effect that
he had a previous engagement at
Seattle for that date, and would not
be able to appear.
Twenty new horse stalls, 10 by ~
each, were ordered built on the east
side of the fair ground, as it was
thought best not to put the horses
under canvas roof. The new stalls
will be rushed to completion before
the fair begins.
Entries in all lines far exceed the
expectations of the directors, which
Is quite gratifying to them, and the
only fear at the present time is that
those who desire to come in at the
last minute with exhibits, will find
no room for their exhibits.
The first horses to arrive for the
races came in today, and will be
housed in temporary stalls for the
present.

TRIP TO SHALE OIL
DEPOSITS WORTH WHILE

The city editor of the Tidings
made trip to the shale oil deposits
Sunday to inspect the holdings of
the Hartman syndicate, and see of
the claims of the syndicate in regard
to the amount of available material

about 10 O'Clock in the morning, 60
ing out on the Dead Indian road as
far as the Lanhini ranch, where a
side road is taken over the noun
tains to point almost directly be-
yond Grizzley peak. A great deal
of this road is rough and rocky, but
the syndicate has a right of way
surveyed in from the Dead Indian
road that will be a much easier
grade, and when finished, will be a
considerable improvement over the
present road. Work of constructing
this road was begun last Monday.
On reaching the end of the road,
horses were obtained, and the rest
OF the trip, which Is about five miles
was made on horseback. Upon as
cending to point overlooking the
Antelope valley, the horses were left
and the trip down the mountain on
the Antelope valley side, started on
foot, only to bring up shortly at
the destination.
At this point was found the oil
shale as 1t had been uncovered by
workmen, and there is little exag-
geration when the statement Is made
that there is whole mountain of
II. for II may be found for a dis
lance Of about two miles along this
side Of the mountain. where II crops
out In many places. Samples that
were brought back are equal to any
'hing displayed by members of the
syndicate burning freely when ig-
nited by lighted match.
Despite the fact that the road Is
rough. it is worth The time and
trouble Of any Interested person.
who doubts the amount Of available
material to make the trip to the
ground and look II over.

lures upon the initiative petition
submitting it, in a complaint filed
in Marion county this afternoon,
McCamant and Thompson, attorneys,

legal signers. Also it is alleged that
many of the names are fictitious, and
that the signers were secured on the

terday evening at the final public
demonstration of the Hartman re-
tort for extracting oil from shale

garage on Pioneer street, and it was

also in evidence.
The firing of the retort was start
ed promptly at 7 o'clock, and at

amount consumed as fuel by the re-
tort. At 1850, the oil began to
trickle from the other side of the
condenser, and was sampled by pref

Walter Scott, local ranch hand, now
in the employ of Lawrence Hagan,
yesterday met the people who had
identified him as the dead man still
being held by reputy Coroner ]. F.
Brady. for Identification. When he
met the people who believed him
dead, the surprise was great, and
now 1t is believed that is reason to
doubt II the dead man was ever in
Pendleton. Most of the people who
viewed the body in the morgue and
declared that they had seen the man
in Pendleton, think that 1t was Wal
ter Scott that they had seen.
The identity of the murdered man
