TO ADVERTISE
JACKSON CO.
COUNTY APPROPRIATES 600
FOR PURPOSE.
SUNSET co. GETS The CONTRACT
Proposal of Publicity Manager of
Sunset is Accepted-RailrOad to
Pay Big End of the Expense, Says
Report.

Medford, Aug. 2.-The county
court has accepted the proposal of
the Southern Pacific for the issuance
of $4,000 official booklets of jack
son county, along lines similar to
the Oregon Almanac, devoted to the
resources of the county and it's vari
Gus communities. The plan calls for
a variety of things, and will cost
total of $4,000, of which the county
pays 81 900 and the railroad $2,400.
The following is from the rail-
roads proposal, which was accepted:
1--WE will publish the books, the
style, makeup and quantity to be
decided upon hereafter, to the ex-
tent of $1,000, 1925 of this amount
covering the time and expense of
the special writer. 1t is our idea
that these books should not be of
the usual four-color fancy style, but
a plain, attractive booklet, more on
the order of the Oregon Almanac.
For one year we will run a half
page advertisement of Jackson coun-
ty in Sunset Magazine, and in some
issue during the year will run an
illustrated two-page writeup of the
county. This two-page story will be
reprinted in Aboard, a magazine
nuhlichad hv tho uorriuoon iptaractc
in Liverpool, with a high-class circu-
lation over Europe, and through the
different Hartman agencies among
intending homeseekers and tourists.
This advertising and publicity will
be run in the name of the county
court of Jackson county and will
result in putting you in direct touch
with large number of prospective
settlers who will want the county
book.
During the whole year Jackson
county will be represented in our
various information bureaus at Los
Angeles, San Francisco, Portland
and eastern cities, at which points
the county literature will be kept
on hand and carefully distributed.
Whenever possible the names and
addresses of those obtaining the
books will be secured and forward
ed to you for such further follow-up
as you may think best in each case.
"The county will have the privi-
lege during the entire year of main
tanning an exhibit in the Sunset in
formation and exhibit room at Los
Angeles, in the Pacific Electric
building, the understanding being
that the only expense to which you
will be put in connection with this
is the securing of the fruit and other
Jackson county products and deliv-
ering them in good shipping condi-
ton to the Medford agent, Mr.. Ros-
enbaum. We will stand the entire
cost of the preserving, exhibit case,
glasses and jars and maintenance.

FOREST FIRE FIGHTERS
Additional Guards Being Put On in
Jackson County to Guard
Against Forest Fires.

Medford, Aug. Although the
recent rains soaked everything quite
thoroughly, the present warm wealth
er and high winds have combined to
dry everything out again quite as
thoroughly. The opening of the
hunting season with it's consequent
carelessness on the part of hunters
and campers makes it necessary to
take extra precaution to prevent
large forest fires by discovering
small ones. To this end the state
of Oregon will put on four deputy
state fire wardens August 1.
George Lowd will patrol the coun-
try from Rogue river north to the
head of Pleasant creek and Graves
creek, and from Table Rock west to
the county line. Mr.. Lowd's address
is Rogue River, Ore. Anyone dis
covering forest fires in his district
will confer favor by notifying him
at that place
D. w. Sturgess will patrol from
Beagle north to the head of the east
and west forks of Evans creek. Mr..
Sturgess can be notified at Beagle,
Ore.
w. G. Denny will patrol from An
derson creek north to Rogue river
and from the foothills west of the
valley to Applegate river He can
be notified at Jacksonville.
]. w. Kershaw will patrol from
Little Butte creek south to the Dead
Indian road, along Frog creek. No
tice of fire sent to Wellen, Ore, will
be given to Mr.. Kershaw
These men are all authorized to
issue permits to burn brush, slashing,
etc.
In case you discover fire and
cannot locate any of the fire war
dens, without delay please notify
Supervising Warden B. /. Shannon
by phone, collect, at No. 1856, Med
ford.
To assist these state patrolmen
the Jackson County Fire Patrol AS
sociation has a force of "a men pa
trolling the entire county. Each
man has been assigned to a particu-
| lar district The association has
headquarters at Butte Falls, tele-
phone 9-F-11. They will pay all tel
ephone calls notifying them of forest
fires.
The state, association and forest
service have so arranged their patrol
districts that there is no duplication
of patrol. Thus each district will be
looked after in a thorough manner.
So no matter where you live, hunt
or camp, you will find fire warden
near you whom you can notify in
case of fire.
1t is hoped that everyone while
in the woods will be careful where
they empty pipe ashes, throw cigars,
cigarettes and matches, and particu-
larly careful not to leave camp fires
unextinguished. There is law
against leaving camp fires before
they are entirely out; also against
building them beside logs, stumps,
and in any sort of litter without first
clearing the ground all around suf-
ficient to keep it from spreading.
With the hearty cooperation of
everyone Jackson county should have
the smallest fire loss in the state this
season.

WOULD MUZZLE NATIONS WAR DOGS
PRESIDENT WILSON STRONG In HIS DETERMINATION NOT TO Be
DRAWN INTO MEXICAN MUDDLE If POSSIBLE To AVOID IT

Washington, Aug. 2.-While Pres
ident Wilson has not announced the
policy which he thinks the American
government ought to pursue toward
Mexico. two developments today en-
phasize the trend of affairs toward
the attitude of friendly noninterfer-
ence.
1t became known that the presi-
dent in conference with members of
the house military affairs committee
had discouraged the idea of making
any preparations for a volunteer
army.
Likewise Secretary Bryans request
for an appropriation of 100000
with which to transport destitute
Americans from Mexico in emergen-
cies developed the feeling in official
circles that the American govern
ment would endeavor in any crisis to
remove the Americans expeditiously
from the trouble scenes.
This procedure, it is felt, would
minimize the chances for internation-
al difficulty, as any destruction of
property would be cared for through
indemnification.
With the Americans out of those
parts of Mexico where chaos may de-
velop the United States government
would feel less responsibility for the
progress of events there, and could
assume the role of observer rather
than participants.
Hope that the Mexican factions
will agree on a provisional president
to succeed Huerta still prevails here.
Washington, Aug. Develop
ments in the Mexican situation today
were confined to the efforts of the
administration to prevent any unnec-
essary agitation over the revolution.

Vile and Nashville railroad the jury

tent of $3.50 Mr.. Sims was injured in a
recent wreck on the lines of the defend+
ant.

STATE WANTS TO COLLECT
LICENSE FROM DRUMMER

The New Orleans drummer who was re-
Gently compelled to pay ss00,50 for SELL
ing garments to the elite of Birmingham
in apartments at the Hillman may be
confronted with most serious PROPOSE
tion. according to letter received yes
terday from Col. D. W. Troy of Mont
gcmery.
The Montgomery attorney is special
counsel for the state engaged for work
in connection with foreign corporations
In letter to ]. j. Boggan, license collec-
tor. Colonel Troy says from all accounts
the New Orleans drummer owes the
state $1,000 for each business transaction
that, he handled in Birmingham, and all
information was desired by the state as
to the activities of the drummer in Rir-
mingham.
The custom has been in Birmingham to
allow statesmen for New York, New Or
leans and other houses to come here. en-
gage apartments at the hotels. send out
engraved cards to the fashionable citizens
listed in the blue book" and in that way
sell thousands of dollars worth of goods

remaining STREETS
TO COME UP TODAY
Kirkpatrick Will Submit
Recommendations to the
Commission

The recommendations of City Engineer
Walter G. Kirkpatrick relative to re-
naming the streets of Birmingham will be
ready for the commission this afternoon.
That announcement was made yesterday
by Mr.. kirkpatrick in reply to requests
for data as to his plans. The city official
said that he preferred that the commits
sion hear first what he thought should
be done in connection with the remaining
of streets. and that he would walt until
this afternoon to make any statement.
He was requested by the commission
some days ago to study out a plan of
relieving the city of names of streets that
are duplicated frequently in this COM
munity. The outside sections seem to
be the real spots where the commission
wanted new names worked in and gen.
eral conformity with avenue and street
direction.
Mr.. Kirkpatrick, it is understood, has
considered it advisable to rename all
city streets and avenues, and will take
Twentieth street as a basis for the new
work. That Twentieth street will be the
dividing street is said to be the general
idea. What the city will call that street
under the new arrangement has not been
determined.
