STORY OF GOOD ROADS
First Progressive Road Work in
jackson County Done Under
Dunn's Administration.

Speaking of good and permanent
roads as an issue in the present cam
paign for county judge of Jackson
county" said a well-known citizen
who is thoroughly acquainted
throughout the county and familiar
with every phase of development in
the beautiful and progressive Rogue
River. valley, "the desperate attempt
on the part of certain of the fren-
Zied interests to create sentiment
among the newer and more unin-
formed residents against the candi-
dacy of George Dunn on the ground
that he is not up to date and pro-
gressive, is most ridiculous.
why, when it comes to perma-
nent and scientific road work, more
was accomplished during the four
years he was county judge, from
1904 to 1908, than in all the preced-
ing years of Jackson county's his
tory. OF course part of it was pre-
fiminary, but his administration
marked the first real step forward
in this county in safe and sane
system of good roads building. The
good work of the Dunn administra-
tion in this respect is demonstrated
today in many sections of Jackson
county and blessed by the farmers
and others who travel these roads
daily and are familiar with their his
tory. They realize, too, comparative
conditions more vividly than they
did at the close of the Dunn admin
istration four years ago.
Take a few concrete examples:
There is the MedfoFdIJacksonville
road. When Dunn assumed the di-
rection of county affairs this road
was all but impossible in winter and
in summer it was a disgrace. Sec
tions of it were still full of stumps.
There were thirteen crossings OF
Jackson creek within a distance OF
a mile and half You know what
that road is today-practically a
boulevard. And Dunn's administra-
ton did it.
"The first good roads on what has
long been known as the desert were
built in Dunns administration. The
cad from Medford to Eagle Point
was famous, or rather infamous, for
it's impassability many months of the
year. 1t was improved by the Dunn
administration, eight miles of it be-
ing macadamed. 1t is today fine
road to travel and a credit to the
builders.
"The Medford-Ashland road Cor
more definitely speaking, the road
from Medford south as far as Jack
son springs), formerly always a
fierce one in the wet season and new
er anything to be proud of, was grad
ed and rocked and stands today as a
hlOuuluenJ 10 JH6 DuHH dumlnlSJId-
tion-a good auto and wagon road
any day in the year.
From Central Point to Table
Rock, one of the main thoroughfares
of the county, graded road was
built by Judge Dunn, including two
miles of macadam. And it is now
one of Jackson county's best roads
"A portion of the road from Agate
on the desert toward Eagle Point
was graded and put in good condi-
tion for travel at all seasons of the
year. And it is mighty good road
now.
From Gold Hill to Tolo the road
was graded and graveled and put in
good condition. And they tell me
that not lick has been put on this
road since Dunn went out of office

THIS rs THE OBJECT ORGANIZED
LABOR IN THE BRITISH ISLES
is NOW ENDEAVORING TO AC.
COMPLISH.

London, May 91.-An eight hour
day for all trades in the British Isles
is the ambitious scheme upon which
the forces of organized labor today
are concentrating their efforts.
Directing the movement is the par
liamentary committee of the Trades
Union congress, and It has the sup
port not only of the General Fedora
tion of Trades unions, but also OF
the labor party These bodies repre-
sent more than two million organized
worklngmen and It is claimed that at
least double that number of unorgan-
lied workers will be enlisted in the
agitation. In parliament, the move
ment will be pushed by the labor
party which now has an eight-hour
Gay bill In course of preparation.
This is to be introduced shortly and
efforts will be made TO compel the
government to take 1t up before the
adjournment of the present session.
Meantime the powerful unions COW
ering the transport, shipbulldlng, en-
gineering, baking and building trades,
are pressing their employers with
demands for the eight-hour day in
their respective fields. In connec-
ton with the agitation, a series of
demonstrations has been arranged to
take place within the next month at
such important industrial centers as
Liverpool Manchester, Leeds, Shelf
field, Birmingham, Bristol and Glas-
gov, winding up with a monster mass
meeting in Hyde Park, London, in
which It is proposed that delegations
representing every labor organization
in the country will participate.
Labor leaders confidently predict
the ultimate success Of the move
ment, one Of the main objects Of
which is to reduce the present dis
tresslngly high rate Of unemployment
throughout the United Kingdom

Colonel Roosevelt today telegraphed
Walter Brown, his Ohio manager, in
structing him to entertain no PROPOSE
ton from the Taft camp. His tele-
gram read:
81 have just seen a telegram which
President Taft sent to Arthur /. Vorys
declaring he would not tolerate any
compromise in Ohio. Until l saw this
telegram, had never seen any sug-
gestion that there was to be any COM
promise, and I assumes suggestion
came from the Taft forces In the first
place, would not consent to any COM
promise, and in the next place we car
ried Ohio by more than 10000 in the
popular primaries Any attempt to
give Taft single delegate would
mean to sanction deliberate effort to
defraud the people by trickery and to
nullify their expressed will. Taft has,
in morals and equity, no claim whatev-
er to a single Ohio delegate I wish
this issue clearly made; we stand for
the right of the people to choose their
own candidate, and to have the dele
gates carry out their choice. ANY in
dividual who attempts to secure a
single delegate at large from Ohio for
Taft is openly taking the position that
the convention is not to represent the
will Of the people, and that politicians
are to be encouraged to defy popular
will and commit an outrage on Justice
"Any district delegate at the Ohio
convention from any district that went
for me at the primary, who himself
votes for single Taft delegate at
large, commits an act of treachery to
the people. Any man condoning or
approving such an act, condones and
approves treachery"

HIGH SCHOOL
CLASS DAY
RIVALRIES
FRESHMEN OUTDO JUNIORS AND
SOPHOMORES CAP THE CLIMAX
BY TAKING DOWN THE FLAG.
STAFF ITSELF - STARS AND
STRIPES NO LONGER WAVE AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL.

Last night as the town went to bed,
and the average Salem cop was work.
ing on other beats, daring bunch of
Juniors perpetrated the scandalous
act of painting their numerals on the
walks leading to the high school.
But their paltry deed did not live to
see the gray dawn, for as the town
/ clock struck one, band of valiant
freshmen poured onto the high school
grounds and proceeded to trim up the
flag pole with purple and white. They
were treacherous to their friends, the
juniors, for they wasted many good
daubs Of paint in covering the jun
iors' "1S," and substituting the num-
erals, "14".
Then they devoted the balance of
darkness to the flag pole. First they
unfurled large bed sheet bearing the
numerals "'15."
The freshmen were determined to
distinguish themselves by tearing down
the green flag of the softmores", and
hand-painting out of existence the
green rings on the flag staff put their
by their enemies. viii Sherwood, son
Of Prof. Sherwood, of Willamette Uni
versit, was chosen to climb the flag
staff, about so feet high, and he did
not shrink. About 1 a. m. he went up
the pole, ruined a suit of clothes by
smearing himself from head to foot
with axle grease, and began painting
out the green rings Of the sophs with
purple paint. He nailed their flag to
the mast, and fastened up the halyards
so they could not be reached, and as
he came down painted the pole with
another coat Of axle grease so no one
could climb up. He was no more than
through when along came two sopph
leaders with a ladder, but they saw
the Jig was up, and no way to get up
that pole without climbers. The fresh
les remained on guard, and soon six
scph scouts were away, gathering
their crowd, which swooped down on
the freshies In two bands, captured
them, and either roped them to tele-
phone poles or made them prisoners.
The sophmore captain held council
of war and It was decided that, as they
could not reach the obnoxious nag
they would take down the high school
flagstaff itself With monkey
wrench they unscrewed the bolts and
the tall pole fell to the left. and It's top
was broken off about two feet from the
tip The sophs then proceeded to paint
the pole white, obliteratlng the nu-
merals Of the freshles and the juniors.
A student, who is not freshman. put
the numerals "12' on the brick OF
the fest face Of the high school. This
was first charged to young Sherwood,
but the students say he did not do II,
although he did climb the pole and
nailed up the halyards and creased It.
He was called in by Principal Kirk and
given his option Of telling the names
Of some Of the principal offenders or
