GOSSIP OF LOCAL
AMATEUR ATHLETES

If anybody believes that the Central
High School track team is below par
this season they ought to go up to the o
street school and watch the boys work
out some day. There is very little doubt
about Central being IS per cent better
than any of the other high schools. Some
of the candidates now in training would
grace many a college squad. Hunt and
Brag, in the hurdles: Kelly and Hamil-
ton in the 40. Reuter- and King in the
dashes and Dyson in the distance events
form a combination that it would be i'm
possible for any of the other local schol-
astic institutions to compete against sue
cessfully. Besides these men there are
several others who are above the average
scholastic athlete. 1t is doubtful If a
team could be gotten together from the
other scholastic institutions capable of
winning from the Blue and White.
Georgetown is to meet LOyOia College of
Baltimore tonight at the Arcade. and the
chances are that the BaltimOreans will
come away with the short end of the
score. There is only one aggregation as
good as that Georgetown five in this sec
ton and that is the Navy.

done, and that with no regularity. The
best runners in school are playing basket
ball, and that sport will settle their career
as runners more quickly than any other,
except rowing.
1t seems a shame that such good ma
terial as there is at Business should be
wasted in such manner. Undoubtedly,
next to Central, the Stenographefs had
better prospects than any other scholastic

these old men there is much new material
in the school from which whole lot was
expected at the beginning of the year.
The best teamwork that has been
shown by any basket ball team on a
local floor this season was that exhibited
by the West Branch Y. NJ. c. A. five in
the game with the Central Branch last
Saturday night. In handling and passing
the ball and in general all-around work
the Baltimore quint was almost perfect.
King, the Central High foot ball player,
is showing lots of class on the track.
With the speed developed this winter he
should make good back field man for
the foot ball team next year.
Georgetown should make a good show

ships to be held in this city in March.
In the gymnasium held by the Hill
toppers there were several grapplers who

GOOD ROAD ERA HAS BEGUN
Once Constructed. Highways Should
Be Looked After Regularly-Dust
Preventative is Needed

The good road era has begun I'm
many state s. and already the steam
roller. the piles of crushed rock along
the roadside and the digging out OF the
original roadway are familiar sights in
many Of the eastern states The
roads built are generally OF approved
macadam construction, which, com
pleted, are perfect strips OF white rib
bon running through the green fields
aid hills OF the rural sections.
These roads are perfectly built, and
as soon as completed the farmers and
other ratepayers contentedly sit back
and eXclaim: These roads are now
good FOR generation or more without
trouble This is a serious error, and
one being made In many states. That
1t is an error is borne out by the dust
cloud raised by passing car travel.
Ing at 20 miles per hour. or perhaps
faster
Many fail to realize that whenever
dust Is raised a road is being de.
stroyed. says the Motor Age. This Is
particularly the case on smooth mac
adam surfaces. where there is nothing
to hold the dust on the road, and
where every cross wind blows off any
loose material
AS soon as roads are built arrange
ments should be made to keep them In
repair With roads 1t is essentially "A
stitch in time saves nine" Some dust
preventative should be used immedi-
ately macadam roads are completed.
In order to prevent dust
Oil, tar and many special prepare
lions are now on the market and the
communities should be educated to
looking upon these additions as a le-
ultimate part Of the road maint -nance.

motorist and not d dust bath to the cit.
lien who happens to be on the road
the same day, or who has the misfor-
tune to reside along a well-traveled
highway.
Massachusetts proved last year that
road treatments are success and
more economical than continuous ap-
plications Of water; and in England
dust preventing is always considered a
part Of the road problem

THAT HIGHWAY TO THE OCEAN.

The necessity for an outlet to the ocean for Grants
Pass commanding the attention of many persons and it
plain to be that is Of first Importance to this city
and county 1t will be noticed that John A. Dale one of
our leading citizens has letter this subect in the pres
ent issue of The Courier This communication worthy
of careful study by those who to be posted on our
needs and necessities Mr. Dale makes the matter very
clear well forcbe and practical The time has come
when action should be taken along the line of building the
highway advocated by correspondent and it is to be
hoped that the work other communities are doing in road
building will be taken object lesson by the people of
this county.
The practical thing to do first to have survey by
our county surveyor and estimate made the actual
cost of construction Of this highway to the state line For
sixteen foot road it is the opinion of The Courier that
large share of the distance will not cost than from
$1,000 to $4,000 per mile but, if it did reach double the
amount mentioned it would be worth to the taxpayers
of the county The survey and estimate of cost is the
thing to consider first If county court could be per
shaded to order this done this season, they would
both the respect and thanks of the people of this city and
county Let the slogan be from on, "a permanent
highway from Grants Pass to the ocean," When this road
is built it will make profitable market for all the prod
ucs that be raised in this section Let Josephine
county take her place in the states of the foremost
in practical good road work.

WILL FINISH AUTO TRUCK ROAD.

The Almeda company will, within short tlme COM
work again the Leland auto truck road so to
complete it at an early day, This modern highway will
be the first of its kind in southern Oregon 1t is to be
strictly auto road and so constructed as to prevent
teams passing it. The rock work the road is prac
tically completed and the balance of construction work
will be done with the plow and scrapr The auto truck
will revoutionize reghting in the Gaice district it
will reduce the price OF hauling more than Onehaf at
single stroke. AS everybody knows the mines in that
district have been held back by the high price of freight
made necessary by the tired freight wagons hauled
by horses.
The Almeda, from the very first, suffered because Of
lack of transportation. The road, when completed
will this difficulty and make it possible to haul
coke from the railroad to the smeter and matte from the
smelter to the railroad at minimum cost 1t will readily
be that the question of transportation will be solved
by this new road which the Ameda company has under
mines highly important matter to the entire Gace
mining district as the Almeda company will undertake
the hauling of freight for all the other mining companies
and merchants at Galce.
The Ameda people will demonstrate that the auto
truck on road such they building is entirely prac
tca and consequence other sections of the county
will follow their lead and thus reduce the time and cost OF
freight hauling Other parts OF the state introducing
the auto truck country roads and the experiment has
been very successful The Country Club orchards be-
tween Grants Pass and Merlin have been using auto
truck all to haul vegetables from their gardens to
Grants Pass and they report that the work has been done
most satisfactorily. The people of the whole county will

MAcADAM ROAD SHOULD BE OILED.

Macadam and oil roads are discussed generally by our
best informed people and great interest taken in these
highways They adapted to all sorts OF vehicles, and
command the attention of the public generally e. l..
Churchill who made tour with his this past summer,
through Indiana Ohio Pennsylvania and New York, says
that macada mroads Oiled popular in all those states
The large majority of these roads are sixteen feet wde
rounded and well drained Some few OF the highways are
twenty feet wide but these by means common The
idea in each case Mr. Churchill says, is to make road
that will be permanent for all time with only occasional
repairs The people of the states named proud OF these
roads and are constantly increasing their mileage OF them
He says that he road made of dirt, well round
ed and rolled as well as oiled These were passaby good
but of course were not equal to the macadam Road con-
structon he says in those states holds high place in
each community and it is generally admitted that is use
less to permit without experience to undertake road
work Mr. Churchill is strongly in favor OF good roads
throughout Josephine county and he expresses the pn
ion that if we had these they would help business of every
kind and no would be more benefited than the farmer
