Medford, May 27-Uncle Sam
will give Jackson county $4,000 for
the constructiSn c.Ad improvement of
rural free delivery routes, the coun-
ty on its part appropriating 100000
for the same purpose. The formal
contract was signed yesterday by the
county court and presented to B. H.
Burrell, senior engineer of the bu-
reau of public roads, Washington,

The government will maintain the
roads for an indefinite period and
will have charge of the work of i'm
provement, thus relieving the county
of a large proportion of the road
expense.
County Judge Tou Velle is respon-
sible for the appropriation coming to
Jackson county, he having taken the
matter up with Governor West short
ly after his election. The entire
amount for the state of Oregon of
$4,000 from the Bourne bill appro-
priating 100000 thus goes to this
section and the people of the county
are naturally highly pleased with the
result
The route to be improved is as
follows:
(a) The road running from the
northern city limits of Medford in
general westerly direction to the
intersection of the old stage road ;
thence along the old stage road to
Gold Hill; thence following the star
route to Sans Valley postoffice;

WILSON SWATS LOBBY
President Accuses Big Interests OF
Using Money to Defeat I'M
derwOOd Tariff Bill.

Washington, May 26.-Smashing
tradition for the 'steenth time since
his election, President Wilson today
talked right out in meetin' about the
desperate efforts being made in
Washington by an industrious and
insidious lobby which, he said, is US
ing big money to affect the tariff
bill.
81 think" said the president, that
the public ought to know the extra
ordinary exertions which are being
made by lobby in Washington to
gain recognition for certain altera-
tions in the tariff bill. Washington
has seldom seen so numerous, indus
trious and insidious a lobby. The
newspapers are filled with paid ad.
vertisements calculated to mislead
the judgment of public men and the
public opinion of the country itself
There is every evidence that mon
ey without limit is being spent tC
sustain this lobby and to create the
appearance of a pressure of public
opinion antagonistic to some of the
chief items of the tariff bill.
1T is of serious interest to the
country that the people at large
should have no lobby, should be
voiceless in these matters, while
great bodies of astute men seek to
create artificial opinion and to over
come the interests of the public for
their private profit.
81 know that in this / am speak
ing for the members of the two
houses who would rejoice as much
as | would to be relieved from al
unbearable situation"
President Wilson was moved tC
make this statement because, he said
he did not believe the nation was
advised of the extremities to which
the lobbyists have gone.
He added that he did not meal
by his statement that the Lobbyists
were corrupt-only that they were
waging campaign of misrepresenta
ton.

Not Main Thoroughfares.
These highways are not the main
thoroughfares of the county, but are
important roads and the county will
hereafter be relieved of all care con-
cerning them and enable to devote
its energy and money to other high
ways
Since his first trip, Engineer Bur-
rell has been in Humboldt and San
Mateo counties, California, where he
mapped out system of highways to
be constructed under proposed bond
issues. By means of illustrated lee
lures and talks he was of material
assistance in the passage of a road
bond Issue for $1,5O0,OOO in Sar
Mateo county, by a vote of 6 to l,
which at previous election had met
defeat.
Should Jackson county vote 6
road bond issue, Mr.. Burrell state:
that the assistance of the office Of
public roads can be secured upor
application by the county court, ant
either himself or some other high
way engineer be sent to assist il
formulating a program of highwa!
Improvement. The county court will
in all probability ask for the assist
ance.

CALIFORNIA;, Short of Feed, Seek Ore
gOn Supplies.

Owing to the drouth across the
border and a short hay crop especial
ly in the central and southern por-

ing made concerning the supply in
this section. The Commercial Club
is replying to these communications
by stating that there will be an
abundance hereabouts, giving the
names of various parties who raise
hay on a large scale, and as a result
there will undoubtedly be opportuni-
ties to ship considerable of this
product south.
