Judge Tou Velle informs The It'd
ings the Pacific highway will be COM
pleted between Medford and Ashland
by the middle of this month and will
be opened for travel the entire dis
tance not later than the first of De-
cember.
Between Phoenix and Talent there
still is about a half mile to be sur
faced, while about a mile between
Talent and Ashland is to be COM
pleted. The paving has been opened
to travel the entire distance, it be-
ing necessary to travel the tempo
rary roads only along the unfinished
mile and one-half in the two places
mentioned above.
1t is the consensus of opinion that
the contract work between Talent
and Ashland will be more satisfac-
tory to the people generally than the
stretch from Talent to Central Point.
This opinion is caused almost entire
ly by reason of the surface. The
Talent-Central Point highway has not
been surfaced smoothly but is con-
sidered by the county board to be
more durable and will need less re-
pair in the years to come than the
Talent-Ashland part.
hng fa1 nf
smooth-surfacing from Talent to
Central Point, but this has not been
decided by the county board.
One thing is certain in the minds
of all who have gone over the high
way-when completed Jackson coun-
ty will have the best roads on the
Pacific coast.
The paving will stop at the foot OF
the Jackson hill until legal questions
can be more thoroughly gone into by
the city and county officials over the
matter of right OF way.
A general inspection of the Siski
you section of the Pacific highway
took place last Thursday, when about
sixty-five Ashland and Medford citi
zens autoed to the big grade. The
citizens went at the invitation of j
w. Sweeney, the highway contractor
1t was through the efforts of th'
Commercial Club and Mayor johnson
that so many autoists were persuad
ed to go. The roads on the highwa

S. P. Supplies New
Grape Varieties

About a year ago, when President
j. Kruttschnitt of the board Of di-
rectors of the Southern Pacific Com
pany was in Ashland, he expressed
himself as very much interested in
our possibilities. He gave it as his
opinion that all of the side hills be
planted to grapes of varieties that
would insure commercial yields. He
spoke of two varieties which he
thought would yield well in this soil
and environment-the Delaware and
Niagara. He said he was anxious to
see these varieties tried out here.
Yesterday Agent Kramer received
two dozen of each variety from Mr..
Kruttschnitt with instructions to
place them in proper hands for the
experiment. He desired that they
should be distributed as much as
might be among our vineyardists so
that the test would be effective.
Mr.. Kramer turned the distribu-
tion of the vines over to the Com
mercial Club, which, through its Sec
retary, is delivering them today to
about a dozen of our best grape cul.
turists.
The plants were selected person
ally by Mr.. Kruttschnitt and shipped
direct from New York state.

The Utilization
Of Wood Waste

It has been estimated by the For
est Service that 100000 cords OF
wood waste is consumed annually as
refuse in the Pacific northwest. This
would be sufficient to yield 195 bill
lion cubic feet of producer gas, and
develop from it 1,125 million X. W. n.
of electric energy.
Among the present uses of pro-
ducer gas as a heating medium are
annealing, enameling, japanning'
soldering, forging, coffee roasting,
glass finishing, paper drying, in lime
and cement kilns, pottery kilns, glass
furnaces, bakers ovens, and laundry
irons.
In view of the fact that there is so
much wood waste in the northwest,
the process of utilizing it in the gas
producer and the gas engine Is one
which seems to have good chance
for larger development. 1t is a more
economical method OF producing
power than by burning wood under
steam boilers, especially where such
small waste as shavings and saw
dust can be used.
The district forester, Portland
Ore. will furnish further infoffna.
tion to those who may be particularly
interested.

New Machine to

that he will soon have a new steam
press in his well-equipped plant on

Another Ashland Victory;

land we're surprised to see long
line of enthusiastic high school boys
and girls worming their way down
the street doing the serpentine. They
gave goodly display of school spirit,
contrary to the opinion of Mr.. Ruch,
who had addressed the students be-
fore and expressed the belief that
school spirit was lacking. They then
proceeded to show him what they
were good for, and as a result the
rally in the streets occurred.

c nstipated People
Can Now Forget Ills
Tho sands of Former Sufferers
Now Happy Through Taking
DOdsOn's Liver Tone In
stead of CalOmeI

Many thousands of people
have found that constipation can
now be safely and easily over
come, in a perfectly pleasant
manner, by taking Dodsons
Liver Tone in the place of Gallo
mel, which is really dangerous
to so large a proportion of suf-
ferers.
Dodson's Liver Tone is made
to take the place of cslomel and
has been from the first bottle
put on the market. 1t has none
of the disagreeable after-effects
of calomel, which is in fact a
form of mercury, a mineral and
a poison.
Bearden & King, a reputable
local druggist, positively guar
antee to refund puachase price
(5Oc.) of Dodson's Liver Tone in
case you are not entirely salts
fed, and they will recommend
this remedy as a strictly vege-
table liquid, containing nothing
harmful.
Aside from its perfect safety,
Dodsons Liver Tone not only
leaves no bad after effects, but
works easily and naturally,
without pain or grippe and with
out interfering at all with your
regular habits, diet or occupa-
ton. 1t is very simple to profit
by The experience of others and
gain relief from constipation and
sluggish liver now. adv.

"HOulka Yesterday and Today

This is the title Of Rad Reeds
book just out. 1t contains about
$50 pages, but this does not
mean that it is an ordinary book
of that size. Each page con-
tains as much matter as the
common run Of books carries on
four. The workmanship is a
good piece of printing, good
paper, good print and good il
lustration.
The work gives a short history
of Houlka as a town and touches
on some other matter pertaining
to this county. 1t next takes
up the people now living in
Houlka and gives a short but
graphic account of each. Next
it tells of those Houlka people
who have accomplished some
thing but who labor in other
fields.
There is but one Rad Reed
and but one style of writing
like this book-the Rad Reed
style.
Though himself an invalid, he
leads his reader through a treas
ure island in paths of sunshine
with here and there a gem be-
side as it were a guide post tC
direct the reader to the greater
truthes. There are few BY
paths and none of these lead tC
Gloom.
The book sells for $1.25, and
may be had by writing Mr.. Reed
at Houlka. 1t is worth many
times the price to those wit
would be posted in the history
of the county, and the day viii
come when those who passes {
