In welcoming the delegates, w. FL.
Gore OF Medford, president Of the
Mecford National Bank, said be was
not surprised at the letter from Mr..
Hill, !, as Mr.. Hill ser eral years ago had
endeavored to pTesuade him that the
logical route for the Pacific Highway
WAS through Central Oregon rather
than through the Rogue River, imp
qua and Willamette Valleys.
81 told Mr.. Hill what I believe
now" said Mr..tGore, "that, while
seotionalism and petty partisanslhip
have no place 10 our good road policy
and the people Of Eastern Oregon, as
vel as the people Of Northern aud
, and Southern Oregon, deserve good
roads and should have them, never
theless the immediate need and the
first work to be done Is to supply that
portion OF the state which Is most
thiokly settled with the Hrst section
Of the PacAo Highway and that SEQ
tion runs through the state from Ash

Judge Watson Of Ashland. He was
followed by Frederick Hollenberg Of

FRIENDS PAY
LAST TRIBUTE
LARGE coNcoURsE GATHERED
YESTERDAY TO 90 HONOR TO
THE MEMORY OF THE LATE
MRS j.. M. WALTERs-FUNERAL
AT 2 O'CLOCK.

Funeral services for the late Mrs.
J. M. Walters, wife of Rev. Mr.. Wal
ters Of the First Methodist church,
were held from the church at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. A large con-
course of sorrowing friends viewed the
body as it lay in state in the parson-
age, and heard the words of comfort
and hope expressed at the services by
those Who had been closest to Rev. Mr..
| Walters in his work.
Immediately following the services
the body was taken to the Northern
Pacific station for shipment to the
old home in Barker, N. Y. Practically
services Joined in the cortege which
followed the body to the train.
DR.. G. A. Mcnamara conducted the
funeral services. Rev. w. j. Hutche-
son gave q scripture reading and pray
er, and short addresses were made by
DR.. r. A. Beard and Rev. A. E. Peter
son. The obituary was given by Rev.
Mr.. Mcnamara and prayer was said
by Rev. F. M. Mccoy OF Grand Forks.
There were NO flowers at the funeral,
as Mr.. Walters expressed the wish
that the money which would have been
expended for flowers be given, instead,
to the junior department Of the Sun
day school, this department having
always been closest to Mrs. Walters
heart.
DR.. Boards address was full of ten
der sympathy and words Of cheer and
hope. God is very near to us always,
he said, and oftentimes the darkness
that distresses us is but the shadow
of his over-brooding and close-ap-
preaching presence.
We cannot always understand the
sad experiences of life. The teachings
in Gods great school are many, and
sometimes we are puzzled and we
query why must these things be, but
the answer is always, do the thing
that I bid thee, and all will be well.
The speaker told of the difference
between the sorroWing of q man with
out hope and that of a christian. The
christians sorrow is sacred, and in
time, to the soul that has hope, the
sorrow becomes so gloritied and lifted
up that it not only ceases to give
pain. but brings peace, n ever after
ward takes it's place, with the sweet
memories Of life. So, in the lives of al
who knew Mrs. Walters, the memory
Of her life and work Will be for al

$4,000.
Many Cars Damaged.
There were about thirty-five cars
in the building, about a dozen on the
second floor and the rest in the main
garage room or the first floor. very
few of the cars were gotten out. AL
of those on the second loor were
damaged, and, though the fire did not
reach the first floor at all, the machines
there were considerably damaged by
smoke and water.
Alarm Turned In.
The blaze was discovered by J. G

7:50 o'clock. He saw smoke coming

wheat last year, is in Fargo today. He
is the man who developed the wonder
full marquis wheat. Mr., Gerlach will
visit a friend at Borup, Mimi, Tor a
few DAYS before returning to Canada.
He gave The Forum an interesting
story about growing good wheat.
It will interest every farmer to know
how the Worlds Prize Wheat, of 1918,
was produced. l was asked: ITO what
do you attribute your success in grow
ing such Wheat?" l replied: TO good
seed, and to- feeling the plants we'll.
How the seed was originally secured
later improved, and finally how the
soil was titled. l will relate.
Marquis is a hybrid, having been
produced by crossing Red Fife with
a Red Hard Calcutta, and the product
carefully selected, under the guidance
Of DR.. Saunders, Of Ottawa. The adj
vantage Marquis has over Red Fife is
about eight to ten days earlier ma
turity, and about six bushels more per
acre. The straw is very strong, of
medium length, and the aid heads
well chaffed. AS to milling value, 1t is
fully equal to that of Red Fife. Now
