AUTOMOBILES IN GLIDDEN TOUR THIS YEAR
10 INVADE HEART Of SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST

Without the blare of drums and
bugles or the rattle and crack of
musketry, but with the blare of
the automobile horn and the rat
tie and crack of the engines as an
accompaniment, the South is to
be invaded this year and the in
vasion will be by the autOists who
participate in this years renewal
of the Glidden tour.
The automobile world recog-
Mics the fact that in the South
and Southwest hes one of the
greatest markets for the automo-
bile, market which has hardly
been touched as yet, even in these
days of strenuous competition.
Consequently the manufacturers
anxious to show the people IL
these sections of the country Ju st
what can be accomplished by an
automobile under all conditions,
routed the Glidden tour through
the country.
The peaceful invasion starts
from Cincinnati June 5.
The drivers will go throu oh
Tennessee, Mississippi, be ferried
across the Mississippi river, land
ing at Helena, Ark, and then pro-
coed southwest into Texas.
The Glidden tour is the blue
ribbon American road event.
Speed does not count so much as
reliability and mechanical perfec-
tion in the cars entered. Conse-
quently manufacturers are at con-
siderable pains and expense 10
send the best machine their fac
tory can produce to enter the
tour.
Chas. ]. Glidlden, wealthy
sportsman of Boston, Mass, start
ed the tour, and offered a cup for
the winner. He himself, with his
wife, has participated in several
of them, and will probably be at
the wheel of his own car in TIE
tour this year.

Woodville's Awakening.

The people of Woodville and vicin-
ity are beginning to sit up and take
notice of the fact that they are on
the map.
School opened January 8 in fine
brick building that has just been
completed at a cost of $4,000, and
it is said that Grants Pass must erect
their new high school building before
they will have as good school
building as Woodville. The finish
ing touches are just being put on
the bridge, which is a steel structure
and will be a big thing for the town,
as now a large share of business
which has previously gone to Gold
Hill and even Medford, will come to
Woodville. Messrs. Garner and Sabin
have just completed the survey and
stalking of an addition, containing
about 40 acres, and which joins the
present town site on the northeast.
In this addition is one main street,
80 feet in width, and another GO
feet, and already a number of lots
have been contracted for with the
purpose of building business houses.
Besides they have numerous applica-
tions for residence lots. These lots
are all cleared and lay with a slight
southwest slope, there not being
rough or undesirable lot in the whole
addition. These lots will be offer
ed for sale beginning next Tuesday.
A bo. factory and planning mill is
to be built this spring and together

Oregon ranks seventh among all
the states in railroad building dur

the Beaver state added 1874 miles to
its railroads during the year just

A horse race was run on Pine
street last week which stirred up
quite a little crowd and some excite
ment as well. The race was between
Mrs. Amos Smiths driving horse,
George, and a pony belonging to
George Bowers. In the first dash
there was a difference of opinion be-
tween the judges, so it was run a
second time. The horses started off,
but Mrs. Smiths horse flew the
track and the rider, Ernest Lewis,
had some difficulty in getting him
back, when he made a good run, al
most catching the other pony in the
finish. On riding home, Mrs. Smith
noticed that her horse limped and on
examining his foot found a nail IN
it, thereby showing the reason for
his flying the track at so inopportune
a time.

POORLY BALED COTTON.
Southern Cotton Reaches Europe IN
Very Bad Shape.

A decision was handed down by
the interstate commerce conmts-
sion Wednesday VIA the Importance
Of the proper eaiins OF cotton ship
ned from points In the South to Eu-
ronean destinations. In the course
OF the opinion the commission says:
-.It is not deemed amtss to call
the attention u cotton growers and
shsppers and the railroads to the
fact .has cotton bales from the Unit
ed States shipped to Europe are re-
eeired in worse condition as to pack
ing than cotton bales arriving there
from any other country.
The case was brought by Ander-
son. Clayton & Co.. OF Oklahoma.
asains. the Chicago. Rock Island and
Pacific Railway Company. and other
Interstate carriers, in which it was
alleged that every service. including
the applying of the owners or ship
oers patches to cotton bales in their
asupression. was inclua%d IN the
through freight rate to fnal deso-
nation OF the shipment
The commission holds that the
facts do not justify an order against
the defendant carriers: that the car
r;ers have the right to compress cot
ton in transit and that the shippers
or owners have the privilege OF con-
cen.rating cotton at designated com
presses, with the right Of such ship,
