Mail Tribune 100, Jan 17, 1917 Tuesday Jan 17, 2017 at 12:01 AM Jan. 17, 2017 POULTRY SHOW CLOSES TONIGHT The Southern Oregon Poultry show will close today. The attendance during the three days of this week has been very satisfactory, and because of this, the financial burden which the officers have been carrying has been eased up to some extent, but the efforts to increase the local membership to 200 is still in progress, and it is expected the 200 goal will be reached. There will be a meeting of the members of the association at the public market at 2 o'clock Saturday, January 20. The object of the meeting is the election of officers. MEDFORD DEBATES WITH GRANTS PASS The first of a series of inter-school debates will be given in the high school auditorium Friday night, January 19, on the question, "Resolved, that Oregon should adopt a health insurance law embodying the essential features of the standard bill." The visiting Grants Pass high school team will take the affirmative and the Medford high team the negative side. The Medford visiting team, on the affirmative side, will debate the same night in Ashland. Much preparation is being done by the local team under the able direction of Miss Anderson. With the hearty co-operation of the parents, as well as that of the high school, the M. H. S. will win honors in debate as it did in football. ASHLAND AND VICINITY Further developments last Monday in electric heat complications at the Depot hotel resulted in the proprietor, J. P. Wolf, being held to the grand jury on a charge of appropriating the city's electric current for heating purposes without paying. Upon search several heating devices were found on the premises. The case was brought under a state statue for the district attorney to prosecute. For some time past it has been surmised that much of the city's electric current has been unlawfully used in this manner all over town and authorities are taking steps to put a stop to the practice.
