A new ROAD PROGRAM
Petition Conforming to Wishes of
County Court Being Circulated
in jackson County.

Petitions having the approval of
the county court, calling for a road
bond election, are now in circulation.
They call for the issuance of $780,
600 bonds bearing interest at five
per cent, and were drawn to meet
objections of the court to the former
petition, which asked for $500, 900
thirty year bonds, and provides for
the retirement of 100000 in ten
years and a similar amount every
five years thereafter
This retirement provision will en-
able the county to find a ready pur-
chaser for the bonds," states Judge
Tou Velle, ''as this is the class of
bond sought by insurance companies.
II the bonds carry, it will mean the
expenditure of 100000 of new
money among our own people and
give Jackson county the first paved
highway in Oregon, materially con-
veniencing and benefiting the entire
county, and place it in the lead of
highway construction in the north
west, as well as make it the mecca
OF all auto tourists on the coast"
The petition reads as follows:
eve, the undersigned registered
voters of Jackson county, Oregon,

tion of issuing bonds to provide for

CHANCE BELONGS
TO THE YANKS
Farrell Receives Formal
Papers From Garry
Hermann.

New York. Jan. 3.-The legal right of
the New York American league club
to sign Frank Chance as manager for
this year was established today when
President Frank Farrell received the
formal release papers from President
August Hermann of the Cincinnati
National league club
Last Friday Farrell was notified by
President Johnson of the American
league that Hermann, having secured
waivers on Chance from all National
league clubs. was ready to make the
transfer. Farrell accordingly mailed a
check for $1,000 to Hermann. and
when it's receipt was acknowledged the
meeting between Farrell and Chance in
Chicago, set for next Tuesday, was ar
ranged.
The receipt of Chances release Off
cially confirmed the deal and for the
first time gave the New York club a
clear title to the services of the former
manager of the Cubs.

ey for McCarty in the show business,
Luther does not have to depend on a
boxing act or bag punching turn to
entertain an audience. He is an adept
at lariat twirling, sharp shooting and
all that kind of thing and can go into
towns where boxing is barred and give
an interesting performance.
Il expect his next match to be with

McCarey thinks well of the McCarty-
Wells proposition. He did not appear
too enthusiastic about 1t. as 1T is rule
OF the fight promoters not to become
hysterical over an attraction while one
of the fighters is still footloose. 1t is
very likely, however, that MeCarey will
place himself in communication with
Wells at the earliest opportunity.

MURPHY BIDS FOR1
TWIRLER CULLOP
Asks New Orleans Owner
for Terms on Pitcher of
No-Hit No-Run Fame.

Another southpaw pitcher may be
added to the Cub staff in the near flu
ture. A youngster named Cullop of the
New Orleans team, who made an ex-
cellent record in the Southern league
Murphy is after. The magnate heard of
Cullop's prowess last fall and wrote
Owner Franks of the Pelicans asking
for terms.
Cleveland also is said to be after the
Southern Lacquer. Cullop went to
Cuba with a team of minor league
stars at the close of last season and
while there was credited with a no.
hit no-run game against the best team
in Cuba.
Official confirmation of the report
that Tampa is to be the training camp
for Manager Evers' squad was received
yesterday by Secretary Thomas in
telegram from Murphy. The magnate
is not expected back before Monday or
Tuesday of next week.

McCarey. ION account of its interna-
tional significance.
Personally I would like to see it
come to a head. | recognize that box
ing had its origin in England and that
the English have improved upon the
game and kept 1T clean and wholesome
For that reason, in my opinion. when
ever a good man develops in England
he should be made welcome among us
and given chance to show how he
compares with American fighters.
But in the meantime there is no
reason for the heavyweights to remain
Idle. McCarty will be away on a the
atrical tour and it will take Wells
some time to get here. In the months
that intervene between now and July
the other heavies should fight 1T out
among themselves. i think that Pal
Ger. who has shown himself such a
game fellow and such a fair fighter,
should be given chance to come to
the front. I would like to see matches
in which Palzer. Jess willard, Bull
Young, 'Gunboat' Smith and others
would figure. And it would please me
very much to match the winner of a
tournament of that kind against the
winner of the -McCarty match
That 1 think. would be the final bout
of all in the worlds championship Sc

son.
Both players are OF the smuggling
type, and as neither of them played a
deliberate safety shot, the game was
replete with forceful efforts. five and
six cushion attempts being of frequent
occurrence.
1t was a great game for Kandul to
win and one of the best played in the
league series here. McCourt got away
to a good start, while for ten innings
Kandul was moored to the zero mark.
The big Chicago man finally began
to gain and at the thirtieth inning was
only two points behind. McCourt with
count of three in the thirty-first in
ming again forged ahead and two in
nings later let off his big bomb in the
shape OF an eight Three smaller con-
tributons enabled him to lead 81 to 10
at the end of the thirty-eighth in
ming.
1t looked like stern chase for the
Chicagoan, but in the forty-third in
ming he sprinted along with a finely
made run of seven and following with
four three innings later he got on
even terms with McCourt. each having
81 buttons.

All this time, Billy Mccartney the

the office discussing the possibilities
of the future in the matchmaking line
with McCarey. Here is what Mccartney
had to say when he left the august
presence:

5OTH ANNIVERSARY OF
JEWELRY BUSINESS HERE

AconunuOus and successful mercantile
career Of fifty years is a record which
few achieve. Next week Samuel c.
Evans, senior member of the jewelry
and optical firm of Evans & Son will
receive the congratulations of his many
friends and acquaintance, on his having
made the record With one exception,
this is the only business house of Milford
that has continued in active business for
the last half century.
Samuel c. Evans came to Milford in
1860 and entered the employ of the
local jeweler, Alexander w. Hall. The
store was then located in North Milford,
in the old APPEL Building, next door to
the residence of DIR. James p. Lofand.
In February 1858, fifty years ago Mr.
Evans bought out his employer and in
June 1867 when John w. Jump erected
the stores on North Walnut Street ION
the site of the recently erected brick
block Mr.. Evans was the first tenant
to occupy one of the stores.
Here he remained and prOspered until
he built and occupied the store at Is
Walnut Street in 1872 This move was
considered rash by his friends, as there
was no business then in South Milford,
the business center being the National
Bank corner and North Front Street,
as far out as Church Avenue The
move however, was a good one as South
Milford was the section that made the
largest growth. In 1899 the style of
the frm was made Evans & Sons Samuel
G. Evans, Jr., being admitted and the
business has been under his active
since that time.
In February 1909 the firm moved to
their present commOdious store at 8
South Walnut Street where they carry
on thriving business. Since 1897
Mr.. Evans, Jr., has been interchangeable
student of optics, and has built up the
largest optical business in the State

equipped and complete in every detail.
