DR., kL0PPER TRAVELS
SOUTHERN OREGON ROADS
Thereby Becomes a Stronger Ad-
vocate Than Ever Of
Good r oads.

DR. Henry Klopper arrived in
Grants Pass Monday evening and re-
mained over night when he continued
his journey to his home at Kerby.
The Doctor had been on business
trip to klamath Falls and made the
trip in his buggy. BY a liberal
patronage of the biaoksmiths by the
way he was able to get his buggy
home in serviceable condition, but
the trip has made him stronger ad-
vocate than ever of good roads, for he
had experience with the best and the
poorest roads, The road from Ash
land to klamath Falls he found
almost impossible to light vehicles
by reason Of rocks, ohuokholes, stumps
and roots, The Jackson county road
from Gold Hill to Ashland he found
to be in good shape and credit to
the county. OF the road along Rogue
river in Josephine county he could
not say so much for it was not
in condition that would encourage
the settlers up the Valley to come to
Grants Pass to do their trading. The
good roads that the Doctor saw in
jackson county, and the apparent
prosperity of tho farm communities
of that county. conyinces him more
strongly than ever that good roads
would do more than any one thing to
give larger development and greater
pro- perity to Josephine county.

f0R FIRING ON FISHERMEN

PARIS, Feb. 25-The decision of the North Sea in
quiry commission made public this morning. 1t is
adverse to Russians. The decision states that Roesven
sky not justified in firing the Dogger bank fishing
fleet.
The opinion signed by majority of the commits
sioners, the only dissenting voice that of Admiral
Doubassof the Russian member. The commission con
vened at $3.50 this afternoon when the findings read
aloud. They consist of thirteen typewriter pages
Although it is admitted that the Russians had reason
take the utmost precautions the commission holds that
the responsibility for firing and it's consequences fell
Admiral Rojestvensky.
1t held that the firing lasted longer than necessary
but that Roestvensky did his utmost to protect boats
known to be fishing craft Under the circumstances there
sufficient uncertainty to justify Rojestvensky in
nung his way but they regret that he did not inform
the naval powers, in the channel, of the occurrence
The commissioners do not reflect the military vaor
of Admiral Rojesvensky and They make state
ment regarding the indemnity, which will be settled by
direct negotiations between England and Russia.
