One of the boldest burglaries for
years in the county was perpetrated
early Sunday morning in Eagle
Point The burglars made raid on
the general merchandise store of
George Brown & Sons, gaining en-
trance by forcing side window, and
carried away with them goods to the
value of $500. They used a large au-
tomobile or small truck in getting
their plunder away. There seems to
be no clue, although they changed
shoes, leaving their old ones behind
and wearing new ones away. Sheriff
Terrill and assistants worked on the
case all day Saturday.
From the Brown store the bur-
glars went to Roy Ashpole's hard
ware store, which they broke into,
and took number Of knives and
minor articles to the value OF SIS
or $50.

COUNTY SEAT R.R.
IS TAKEN OVER
BY NEW OWNERS

A new era has dawned or the
county seat. The old "Trolleyville"
conveyance that has served as the 60
between for Jacksonville and Med
ord is soon to 60 into the discard,
owing to the fact that the railroad
has changed hands, and the new
management, in view of big freight
contract with the Southern Pacific,
will equip the road with new rolling
stock, and promises to make the old
line a modern means of transporta-
tion. or course, to do this, an in
creased revenue will be necessary, so
the fare will be raised, but it is
hardly likely any kick will be regis
tered on that account, II 1t brings the
relegation of the old trolleyville van
to the relic warehouse.
John W. Opp is announced as
manager. taking the position for
merly held by ]. T. Gagnon.
A force of men is at work repair
Ing the roadbed with new ties and
rails where needed, preparatory for
the heavy traffic soon to be hauled
over the road in compliance with the
big contract of furnishing the South
ern Pacific with 100000 yards of
rock and gravel for ballasting pur-
poses.
The contract calls for at least 10
carloads per day delivered at Med
ford, and it Is estimated that it will
require nearly three years to COM
plete the contract which will give
steady employment to large num-
ber of men.
Rock crushers are being installed
on the ground half a mile west of
Jacksonville and everything is being
put in shape to begin work on the
contract as rapidly as men and mon
ey can do 1t.
II will cost an enormous amount
OF money to equip the road with ne
cessary rolling stock and other
equipment.
A large eightwheel passenger
coach is being fitted up to take the !,
place OF the old four-wheeler now in I,
use, which will add greatly to the
convenience and comfort of the ira
yelling public.
The new management found that
II would be impossible to make these
needed Improvements without rails
ing the fare to what it formerly was.
Therefore the fare has been raised
from 10 cents each way to 20 cents
each way or 80 cents for the round
trip. Book tickets, good for 20
rides between Jacksonville and Med
ford, are on sale at 50, making 1t 10
cents ride.

POLICING THE RADIO
 HIGHWAYS AND BYWAYS

Radio is unique in many ways, but in no other way is it so unique as in the fact that is followers insist on having laws and government reSula-
 ton to the utmost. The reason is sim
 pie enough: without laws and gov
 ernment relution. radio would become
 free-for-au fight in the ether, with
 dominating in it's immediate vicinity.
 and with long distance work and un-
 interrupted reception sheer impossi-
 bility. Of course. there is such
 thing as too much government regula-
 ton. In certain countries the radio amateur is required to secure a license
 for a receiving set as we'll as a trans
 hitter, and the laws are SO severe that amateur radio has made little, if any, progress. But our American laws and government regulation pertaining to radio have been fair in the extreme. and under them amateur radio has thrived to the wonderment of the en- tire world. and radiophone broadcast ing has attained a vogue that is rev elation to everyone
 Laws and regulation must be form ulated to maintain the ether or radio 1 icient condition for the great ma jor- ] ty of radio amateur noviceS. commer- ,ial companies. and government sta i ions The ether is not a Hnitlass me lium so far as our present adio prac- ice is concerned. and il is even now ICite evident that with the ever-ir- 'reasing number of radiophone and
 adio telegraph stations in operation Jringent rules must be followed in or Ter to reduce interference to a nainu- aum--Scinetific American. l.

G. O. P. GEMS

From Ohio State Journal (Rep.)
 Opposites attract opposites and per haps the fact now pointed out by Senator Lodge, that President Hard ing has never misinterpreted his re- lations to the universe, explains why dear Cabot seems to like to go to the White House parties so well.
 The cOnScienceleSs Democrats ac- cuse our towering Republican leaders of not daring to take a firm stand, and here within the space of a week our great Presiden has indorsed George Washington and Francis Scott Key in the boldeSt and most unequiVocal terms and we noticed the other day that our great Ohio captain, Hon. Carmi Thompson. had placed the stamp of his unqualified approval on the Ohio river and its possibilities, let the chips fall where they might
 Success involves it's penalties and we have our moments of depression when we almost wish that we Republicans were in the nlinority.so the fool things we do wouldn't be so noticeable and those the Democrats would do if they had the chance would show to good advantage in this critical hour.
 Well, the Old Guard candidates are taking the stump and our prediction is that the abolishment of human slavery is going to come in for some very warm inducements between now a LA election.

Haynes Wants More Ships To Hunt Rum
 Runners On Coasts
By w. H. ATKINS, International News Service Staff Cor
 FGSDOndent.

Washington, June 29 Whether 1 prohibition really prohibits still pro- vokes acrimonious debate. But pro- | hibition at least seems to be paying 1 it's own way. Enforcement of the | dry laws. upon the present rigid scale, l is held by Commissioner Haynes to be
 more than seIf-suStaining.
 1 Counting what the Government ac- l tual1y collects from fines, Commis- | sioner Haynes maintains that prohi- | bition enforcement is paid for, and l then there is left probably as much more for the United States Treasury. ] In the past six months figures sub | mitted by prohibition directors set | forth that collections in penalties i'm posed upon violators exceeded S1O,- OOO,OOO. In one group of noted cases Haynes said, com uprising more than | twenty members of the wealthy i- quor fraternity, most of them brewers more than S1,0OO.00 In another group, almost as large, the fines and panalties assessed exceeded $5OO,- 900.
 missioner Haynes maintains that better attitude by courts is responsi-
 ble for heavier revenues from this source. His records. he said, show the imposition of larger fines than were imposed in the early days Of prohibition. He suggests also that stiff fines are having an important effect in keeping down violations, or at least in preventing the violators from getting into the class of second or third offenders.
 Prohibition finances thus cited are not embracing the very much larger sums involved in seizures of property and extra ordinary assessments, which are tied up in pending litigation. En- forcement officials estimate that S20,- 000.000 is due the Government by violators in contested cases. Many of these. however. may not be tried for several years and when tried may result frequently in defeats for the Government because of disagreements by juries.
 The figures shown are significant They are important because prohibit ton officials will demand from Con- gress a sum which may run as high as S20.000.000 next year for prohibit ton enforcement. The amount now allowed is s1O.OOO.00 a year. The argument will be made that prohibi- tion always can be depended upon to return to the Treasury 10 per cent. more than it's costs. MT. Haynes is ambitious to build up a big dry navy" He will not be content with a. small fleet of sub-chasers to cruise the cOasthnes. He wants a regular navy. It will take money to pro- vide it But he will be prepared to show that the Treasury will benefit by the elceriment. He also wants larger fonce of rum raiders, The present force of 2,500 for the entire country is entirely inadequate, he de- cIared. SuCC esSful enforcement de- mands a force so strong and efficient that all of the avenues Of liquor will be closed. in MT. Haynes opinion.

Buyers Request Demonstrations

Ever increasing public interest in
 radio has added to the troubles of de-
