Neglect Of Surface
Cuts Expensive

Motorists who have been reading
the suggestions for the proper use
and care of tires in this paper will
find a statement recently made by
c. E. Gates, distributor of Savage
tires in Medford, of considerable in
terest.
eve build good mileage into every
tire we put out" said Mr.. Gates,
''but it is up to the motorist to get
it out. We take pride in the records
Savage tires and Grafinite tubes are
making, and we naturally like the
fullest cooperation we can secure
from the tire users. The proper re-
pair of surface cuts will assist Savage
tires and any other tires to give the
good service that all of us in the tire
game like to see our tires render.
'It is an easy matter to repair a
surface cut or jab when 1t is first
noticed. A motorist can do the work
himself or he can have the repair
made at a very small expense. A
neglected jab or cut allows moisture
and grit to penetrate the tread to
the fabric. This soon leads to
weakened carcass and probably to a
blowout. Prompt repair of such in
juries will add hundreds of miles to
the average length of service that
tires give.
1--WE have seen surface cuts that
were patched without first removing
a sharp pebble, piece Of metal OF
some such foreign matter that lodged
in the bottom of it. This, of course
only made matters worse. Motorists
who make their own repairs should

Grover also maintains that if this
short cut to Hit were opened up the
bulk of the traffic that at present
goes to Hornbrook would come to
Hit and make conditions bad, there
being no police protection.
Grover also intimated that if the
road were opened it would probably
compel the Fruit Growers Supply
company to do away with the one
saloon at Hit, which has hitherto
been conducted in an orderly man
ner.
The commission took the case un-
der advisement.

Shortcut to Hit
Meets Opposition

Certain residents of Hit, presum-
ably the owners of the one Hit sa-
loon which is the first oases met
by dry Oregonians crossing the line,
petitioned the state railroad commits
sion to allow them to cross the
Southern Pacific tracks with a new
road to connect Hit with the Pacific
highway above the town.
The Pacific highway passes within
about a mile of Hit, but the only
road open to Hit at present is about
three miles in length from its con-
nection with the highway. When the
Bailey hill rough spot is removed
by the completion of the highway
tunnel, the road to Hornbrook viii
be smoothed out so as to be pre-
ferable to thirsty autoists to the
bumpy three miles of road to Hit.
They met up with decidedly strong
opposition from the lumber company,
however, a Yreka despatch in the
Redding Searchlight telling as fol
lows of the antipathy for the thirst
trade displayed by the lumber COM
pany:
State Railroad Commissioner West
over held a hearing in Yreka on the
application of several residents OF
Hit, for permission to cross the S. P
company's tracks in the town with
proposed new road to connect with
the state highway on the hill above
Hit
The manager of the Fruit
Growers Supply company opposed
the application on the grounds that
the road would come down through
company property and over 80 pei
cent of the traffic that would come
over the proposed road would bt

up at the Fallon Sink, near Fal-
Ion, New, we are sinking we'll and
building a sample section of road to
show that 1t is possible to make this
VIGOROUSLY bad stretch of the Lin
coin Highway one of the best pieces
of road in the state. The we'll will
be known as the Savage Tire Well,
and will furnish a permanent water
supply free to all motorists, in addi-
tion to supplying water for mixing
the material from which the roadbed
will be made.
"Of the 425 miles of Lincoln
Highway in Nevada, the roadway
between Ely and Reno has become
so notorious that tourists avoid 1t
whenever possible. We are trying
to permanently improve the worst
spot in the west, and we hope to
get all those who will naturally ben
eft by better highway interested
to such point that the improvement
of the entire Lincoln Highway in Ne
vada will soon become a fact.
"The nightmare spot of the whole
state is the Fallon Sink, particularly
the twelve-mile section between Sand
Springs and Salt Well. Sink is
very appropriate name for this
stretch of road, divided into the
eight-mile flat and the four mile flat,
is at least foot deep with sand in
the middle of the summer and the
rest of the year it is a quagmire
where a car often sinks up. to the
hubs. Besides this there is a great
deal of heavy travel from nearby
mines which keeps the road cut up
all the time. 1t is nothing unusual
for an auto or truck to become so
mired that it takes thirty mules to
pull the car out"

WATSON ACQUITTED
GeOrgia's Incendiary Journalist will
Probably be More Vituperative
than Ever
ASSOCIATED Press)

Augusta, Dec. Tom Watson was
acquitted by the jury here today Of
the charge of sending obscene matter
through the mails.
Watson's case went to the jury at
$3.50 last night. Judge Lambdin
charged that the questions to be de-
cided upon were: Whether the Ian
guage cited had been mailed or caus-
ed to be mailed by the defendant and
whether the same was obscene, lewd,
lascivious or filthy" as charged.
Watson admitted responsibility for
the mailing of the articles. The Judge
told the jury that the questions OF
truth of the articles was not an issue.
The jam was so great when the court
room opened at the afternoon session
that John Murphy, twelve year old
boy, sustained a broken arm.
In summing up the defense Watson
read many quotations from classics,
including the Bible. District Attorney
Donaldson based his plea for con-
viction mainly on the alleged viola
ton of the federal law of the lang
uage contained in Watson's publica-
tions. 1t is argued that the Latin
phrases were ineligible.
The jury retired for the night al
1890 o'clock without reporting ver-
dict.
