Community Day
Attracts Hundreds

Z Medford entertained several hun
dred out-of-town visitors last Satur-
day afternoon at Community Day"
celebration. The day was taken up
with a parade, speeches, free dinner,
free performances at the theatres and
band concert, and was voted an un-
qualified success. No doubt the mer-
chants who put up the necessary
financial backing enjoyed heavy pa
tronage. The community day idea
comes from the middle west. Med
ford was so pleased over the success
of the day that plans are being made
already for another bigger and better
day for the near future.
The purpose of the day was to lay
foundations for closer relationship
between the people of the country dis
tricts and the people, and incidentally
the merchants, of the city.

Crew is Putting
Grade in Shape

Several men and teams are at work
on the Siskiyou grade putting it in
shape for the summer travel. Teams
and autos are crossing the mountain
every day in spite of the wet weather
and a few days OF dry weather will
put the road in fair shape. The state
engineer, who was recent visitor
here, has given orders to have the
road put in good shape for this sum-
mer's travel as soon as possible. 1t
is doubtful If any of the grade will
be paved this summer as the dirt has
not settled sufficiently in many
places. According to word brought
by Councilman Ware from the county
seat, the Billings hill will be paved
as soon as the state highway commits
sion has decided as to whether it may
be done out of the state appropria-
tion for the Siskiyou grade or must
be paid for out of the county's fund.

Judge Says County

Judge of Jackson county.
Judge Tou Velle declares that the
work on the Pacific highway, which
was performed under the direction
of Bowlby, was well done, with a
watchfulness as to cost and character
OF workmanship. He says those who
have watched the work are well sat
zsFiea with It, The work was done
under the immediate supervision oi
F. r. Kittredge, who was assistant
state highway. engineer. Judge Tor
VeTle's letter was written in reply tC
request for the facts in the matter
His letter says
I'VE who have followed the prog
ress of the construction of the Pa
cific highway in Jackson county, be
lieve that it has been carried forward
with the greatest economy. In look
ing over the finished product those o
us who are familiar with the differ
ent grades of pavement and their cos
are satisfied with the expenditure
and results obtained in this county.
Although this work was all under
the former highway engineer, the act
ual administration and execution oI
the project was in the hands of Mr.
Kittredge, and wish to say that his
efforts in the county's behalf have
always been capable, energetic, and
conscientious. To his watchfulness OF
cost and efficiency and his relentless
supervision to keep out careless work
manship, the county is now able to
be proud OF her road building"

Form Nucleus for
Animal Exhibit

The baby coyotes which attracted
hundreds of people daily while on
exhibition at Greive's store have been
taken to the Herrin ranch by the
owner, Fred Herrin, who will raise
them.
1t has been suggested that a suit
able pen be placed in the park and
the coyotes secured for exhibition
purposes. In all probability the own
ers would part with them for this
purpose and they could be fed on
refuse from hotels. The attention
which the coyotes attracted while in
the show window shows that they
would be an attraction worth having.
No doubt at some time collection of
animals will be housed in the park
and 1t would seem that these beasts
would form an easily secured and
maintained nucleus for collection.
