SURVEY ROAD OVER THE STSKTYOUS
COUNTY COURT ORDERS SURVEY WHICH Will AVOID HEAVY GRADES
AND DOLLARHIDE TOLL GATE s. HOWARD IN CHARGE

j. S. Howard, pioneer civil en-
gineer of this section, was instructed
by the county court Wednesday to
proceed. at once with a survey for a
new wagon road over the Siskiyou
mountains to the California line.
The construction of the road will
eliminate the present toll road over
the mountains, will cut down the
grade to an easy climb, and make
the trip far more ppleasant for tour
lists. The county court will make ar
rangements for the construction of
the road later. 1t will be a part of
the Pacific highway.
Mr. Howard knows the Siskiyous
better than any other engineer who
has ever endeavored to put a road
over the Siskiyous. He located a
line for a railroad many years ago
and engineers later pronounced il

cient.

Representative of State Department
of Education Lauds Ashland
Institutions.

E. F. Carleton Of Salem, assistant
state superintendent of school for the
state of Oregon, spent part of Wed.
nesday and Thursday in Ashland.
He is checking up the work in the
schools to ascertain just how nearly
the work comes up to the require
ments of the state school depart
ments in preparing students for
teaching and college training. He is
charming visitor and talks inter
estingly on educational topics. In
regard to the work in Ashland public
schools he said:
THE public schools of Ashland are
introducing the industrial work and
giving it just the proper place in the
school system. There is a tendency
today in many schools of this coun,
try to give the right of way to only
those subjects which show.
Here l find that the scholasti,
subjects are being taught thoroughly

an Institution for Ashland at Its
Meeting Monday Night.

Ashland may have Y. NJ. C. A. in
the near future. The matter was
broached at the meeting of the Meth
odist Mems Brotherhood last Mon
day night and decided sentiment in
it's favor showed up. Two gentle
men expressed their willingness to
give $1,000 toward such an institu-
tion and others proffered smaller
sums.
The idea of forming a union of all
the mems religious organizations in
the city was also talked over and
found favor.
The project of fitting up the old
Baptist church as boys gymnasium
was also discussed, as was the form
ing a local company of Knights OF
Methodism among the youthful mem
bers.
The organizing of baseball team
was taken up and Jack Rigg and jim
West were entrusted with that duty
Messrs. Beaver, Hodgson and Ell.
hart were selected to chaperone the

the best ever put over the mountains.
He viii follow this line with the new
road and declares that when COM
pleted automobiles will be able to
follow it at 20 miles an hour. The
grade will be per cent the greater
part of the distance with a few G
per cent climbs. At present some of
the grades encountered range from
25 to 80 per cent.
For some time the matter of pur-
chasing the toll road over the Sis
kiyous has been discussed, but the
price demanded was considered toe
high. Mr.. Howard states that the
new road can be constructed at less
cost than it would require to pur-
chase the toll road and place it in
repair.
Mr.. Howard will start the survey
at once.

BUYS CAR LOAD OF PIPE
City Fathers Decided to Purchase
About 5000 Feet of Four
Inch Pipe for Mains.

At the meeting Tuesday evening
the city council decided that it would
be good policy to purchase a carload
of pipe for the use of the water
works. By taking 5000 feet they
could save about 800 on the
amount. 1t is probable that at least
1000 feet of the purchase will be
laid on Beach street to replace two
inch pipe which is inadequate to han
die the irrigation on that street.

''cause celebre," and was again on
the boards Tuesday night. After a

ing city water without paying for
it, and was otherwise nuisance.
Water Commissioner Rosecrans stat
ed that he had investigated the COM

For Land Show Exhibit.
d. NJ. Low was present and ad-
dressed the club at some length on
the proposition of an exhibit the
coming autumn at some of the land
shows throughout the country. He
stated that the best plan in his opin-
ion was to exhibit at one of the
shows in the middle west. He also
offered to devote his time free of
charge is the club so desired to max
ing arrangements for the raising and
preparing of the exhibits, and also
to raise dry land exhibit himself.
The club instructed Mr.. Low to go
ahead with the project, pledging him
its support.
Oppose University Referendum.
The Commercial Club went on rec
ord as being strongly opposed to any
action toward a referendum on the
appropriations of the legislature for
the state educational institutions,
one of the members going so far as
to advise the use of tar and feathers
on anyone caught circulating such a
petition.
The following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, There is being circulat-
ed in some portions of our state peti-
tions calling a referendum on the
appropriation made by the last legis-
lature for certain buildings at the
University of Oregon, which are
much needed by that institution in
order to effectively handle it's work;
and
Whereas, Such a movement as
this is, in our belief, wholly uncalled
for and the special election necessary
to decide the matter would cost the
state nearly as much as the appropri-
alton itself; and
Whereas, 1t is very evident that
this movement is but an outlet for a
'grudge' rather than a sincere inter-
est in the welfare of the state; and
Whereas, The University of Ore
gon is a valuable asset to our COM
monwealth, and the continued perse-
cution is bringing it into discredit at
home and abroad, with an ever-in-
creashg number of young people go
ing out of the state for their uni
versity training,
Be it therefore resolved, That the
Ashland Commercial Club heartily
condemns the efforts of those seek
ing to place this referendum and
hereby declares itself favorable to
every move for the better equipment
of our state university"
