Will Extend Rural
Postal Routes

Postmaster-General Burleson has
announced that by the end of the
fiscal year, June 80, the rural free
delivery mail service will be extended
to one million new patrons without
increasing the cost of delivery. This
is to be accomplished by the read
justment OF routes and the use Of
motor cars. Congress authorized the
use of motor vehicles after July 1,
next. This will be an important fac
tor. Changes were authorized last
month that reduced operating ex-

Finds Siskiyou Highway in Oregon
To Be in Excellent Condition

Harry L. Sinclair of this city
made the trip over the Siskiyou
mountains Sunday and incidentally
made several interesting discoveries
in regard to the much discussed bad
condition of the roads. Going up this
side of the mountains over the beau
tiful new grade, the road was found
to be in perfect condition with the
exception of two short rough places
which are now being smoothed out.
These were the only places where it
was necessary to drop out of high
gear, and when these are ironed out
the entire grade may easily be made
on high gear. The scenery on this
side of the mountain is beyond de-
scription. One who has travelled over
the mountain several times realized
more of its beauties yesterday when
the strain of watching the tortuous
old road was no longer present.
The highway is in fine shape down
the other side to the California line,
which, by the way, is unmarked ex-
cept for a board sign with California
chalked upon it. From there on the
road shows evidence of lack of care
and is rutty and rough in frequent
spots.
Coming back from the other side
the reason became easily evident for
the departure of several auto parties
from the highway. During the past
week two or three parties have come
into Ashland highly disgusted with
the Siskiyou grade because of the fact

loves Exhibit Wins
Highest Awards

D. M. loves one-farm exhibit in
the Agricultural building at the Pan
anna exposition has scored sweeping
victories over all exhibits of it's class.
The exhibit has been awarded the
medal of honor, highest award made
as the best agriculture exhibit, and
the medal of honor for the best one
farm exhibit. This was in competi-
tion with exhibits from the entire
world and are the highest awards
made in that department.
In addition to these awards for the
collective exhibit Mr.. Lowe received
the gold medal for the best collection
of barley, gold medal for the collec-
tion of go varieties of products from
one farm, gold medal for the best
collection OF seeds, bronze medal for
the collection Of grasses and honor
able mention Tor the collection of
clover and alfalfa. A letter from o..
e. Freytag, director of agriculture,
highly compliments Mr.. Lowe on his
sweeping success, the exposition man
saying: your farm is an immense
factor in helping Oregon to take its
place at the TOP of the agricultural
states" A letter from George NJ.
Hyland, director of exhibits, says:
Congratulations on awards won by
your splendid exhibit in the agricul-
tural building, and | wish personally
to express my appreciation for your
efforts in helping to make the Oregon
display grand success. You are
needed in San Francisco" These
awards reflect great honor upon Mr..
Lowe and upon the Ashland district.

that they got off the road on the
other side and unknowingly came
down the old toll road instead of the
new grade.
At the top of the Bailey hill COM
ing toward Ashland a road turns off
which connects with the new high
way, but no sign marks the road, and
as the old road leading to Hit is just
as greatly travelled and is straight
ahead, the tourist naturally takes it
unless he has been otherwise direct
ed.
There are no evidences of work
having been started on the grade on
the other side, and while the road is
not steep it is very rough and does
not compare with that on this side.
The stretch of road after the autoist
turns off at the top of the Bailey hill
to come over to the new highway is
steep and rutty, resembling a wood
road rather than a part OF the great
highway.
Track is being laid up this side of
the grade almost as far as Steinman
for the paving work which is soon to
begin.
The Ashland Commercial Club or
some other local body should see to
it that the Oregon line has at least a
painted sign set up upon it Informing
tourist that the good roads from
that point are Oregon roads, and by
all means a sign should be put up at
the top OF the Bailey hill to direct
the tourist over the new highway.

T0ltuOuS Trip
Down Old Grade

A party consisting of Mr.. and Mrs.
George II. Blackburn of Cleveland,
Ohio, and Mr.. and Mrs b. X. Gal
breath of Chino, Cal, arrived Friday
for a days stay in the city. They
were en- route from a visit at the
exposition to Seattle and from thence
east. The party made the mistake
OF taking the old toll road down the
Siskiyou mountains, being informed
by some fiendish monster that the
new road was not open. The old
road Is all cut to pieces and the party
had a'far from enjoyable time maxi
ing 1t through. No work has been
done on the old road since the COM
pletion of the new grade last fall.
II is such misadventures as these
that have caused the rumor to be
spread that. the Siskiyou grade is i'm
passable.
The party left Saturday morning
after spending Friday in the city, and
before leaving hunted up represent
ative of this paper to pay a tribute
to Ashland. The charms of Ashland
had captivated them, not only the
scenic beauties but the homelike
aspect of the city making a lasting
impression upon the entire party.
The Ashland roses and cherries were
particular objects OF enthusiastic
comment.

Thousands of
ShrinerS in July

Coming from every part OF the
country, 100000 mobiles and families
of the Mystic Shrine will begin their
pilgrimage late this month or early
in July to the oasis of Seattle, where
they will participate in the forty-flrst
Imperial Council session.
Because OF the many sights which
the Shriners wish to take in while on
their journey to the northwest, many
of the temples will leave home several
weeks before the opening date OF the
convention. In their special trains
they will assemble at Seattle, and
after the meeting is over will dis
tribute to every corner of the west.
A total of $50 special trains is ex-
pected. Fourteen special trains from
the south will pour through Ashland,
Portland and Tacoma, bringing the
oregon, California and southwest
temples to the meeting. Thirty spec
ials will travel practically in one solid
string from st. Paul westward, stop
ping at Spokane and crossing the Cas-
cades by various routes.
After the council meetings the
specials will either take their hordes
south to California, stopping at Ia
coma and Portland, as well as other
points, or will 20 north through Ever
EFT, Bellingham and other points and
going east via the Canadian Rockies.

1000 People Hear
Bruce Evans Sunday

Saturday night Bruce Evans said: p
"A man who becomes Christian has
nothing to lose and everything to
gain. A man who does not become a
Christian gains nothing and he may
lose everything"
Last evening the Chautauqua
building was filled with 1900 men
and women who came to hear Bruce.
This great crowd was held all atten-
tion for an hour while Bruce talked
on the objectionable Sin, saying:
Some men and women said No to
the appeal of God in Christ when they
were children. Later in life the ap-
peal came and they said No. Again
the appeal came, and again the an
swer was No Today that big No
represents the objectionable sin"
Evans says 1T is a refusal to yield
to the appeal of Gods spirit. Man
is three-fold in his nature-physical
mental and religious To fail to use
one of these is to lose it. Not to re-
spOnd to the religious impulse is the
objectionable sin. God ever loves
man. He IS ever ready to hear the
appeal or cry of His creature but ye
(man) will not come"
Bruce will speak every night this
week in the Chautauqua building.
Our best local talent of the city is
contributing special numbers every
evening Large chorus.

The big cement mixer for the paw

through Ashland this morning. This
was the first machine that ever
passed through the city which even
the most pessimistic of bystanders

power. was making the tremendous
speed of about on-eighth of a mile
per hour when it passed through.
