Siskiyou Highway
Open October Is

C. F. Bates, Harry Pellet, Frank
Jordan, E. ~ Butler and F. G.. Nc
Williams made a trip to the new Sis
kiyou Highway Friday. They are
very enthusiastic over the work, de-
scrbing it as regular boulevard. Z"
Today about four miles of completed
grading was opened for general
travel. The party who visited the
work Friday reported that which was
finished to be very smooth, and one
of the finest, easiest grades they had
ever seen. An auto can very near
go over the Siskiyous on high when
the road is completed, instead of
crawling, pushing and boiling up the
hill as before.
This winter, after October Is,
travel will be open for the whole road,
for at that time Contractor Sweeney
hopes to have the work complete.
During the rainy months, until next
spring, no hard surface will be put
on. This is to allow the roadbed and
fills to settle to their limit before
hard surfacing.

Facts Concerning
The School System

Children nowadays do not realize
the superior advantages they possess
in the way of education over the chill
dren of ten years ago. In the city
of Ashland alone it cost $51, ,629.73
to operate the schools lats year. The
results, however, are we'll worth the
expenditure. The city now pays in
terest on $4,000 bonds for the
school system. This is being gradu-
ally paid off. Sixty-six thousand,
two hundred and ninety-one dollars
and fifty-seven cents was received by
the school department last year,
which made quite an excess over
what was paid out
The teachers wages, for instance,
amount to much more than would be
expected, $24,157.25 being paid out
for the latter expense the last term
From the foregoing figures, very
roughly estimating, 1t costs about
$50 per child year for their educa-
tion. There are pretty close to 500
enrolled in the city schools. At the
last school census II was found there
were 1875 children in the city OF
school age-that is, between four and
twenty.
Ashland people can be proud of
their efficient school system.

State Commission
Issues Booklet

For the benefit of homeseekers
and prospective settlers in Oregon the
State immigration Commission and
the State Development League have
issued booklet of information de-
scribing the irrigated lands of the
state open for settlement, including
a list of privately owned lands for
sale on the Tumalo irrigation project
and the central Oregon lands. The
two projects are located in Crook
county, in central Oregon, near the
towns Of Terrebonne, Redmond, Des-
chutes, Bend and Prineville.
The central Oregon irrigated lands
project was started under private su-
pervision in 1902, but funds for car
rying on the work gave out, and in
1913 the Oregon state legislature
voted $450,O00 toward the compile.
ton OF the project. Early in 1914
the desert land board opened part Of
the land under what is now called
the Tumalo project. The rest of the
irrigated district was opened later
making a total of 1000 acres now
open for entry.
The new lien on this land has been
fixed at between $3S and $40 an
acre, to be fixed permanently at some
time during the fall. The settler may
acquire the land by payment of 10
per cent, the balance to be paid with
in ten years, with per cent interest
on unpaid installments. II the settler
improves one-third of the irrigable
area each successive year for three
years, no installment of principal will
be required for these years, the de-
ferred payments to be apportioned
over the seven remaining years.
The lands are described as slightly
