les in the middle west and east like
Eugene do not have payements, In
the west almost every small town
you travel through has its pave
ment, while in the middle west and
the east such Improvements are lack

has paved roads for miles, as soon
as you reach the city limits you
leave the pavement and travel on

= Business conditions in the east
are very good" said Mr.. Wetherbee.
From Washington north to New
York and Boston one travels con-
tinually through one manufacturing
town into another, and they are all
busy. The big manufacturers realize
that after the war times will be diff
ferent with them, but many others
do not realize it and believe that
their prosperity is simply due to

Cuba to Have
Naval Academy

Havana, Sept. THE reuublic of
Cuba, which boasts a navy of 20
ships, is about to have an up-to-
date naval academy for the training
of her cadets in seamanship and sea
fighting. The new naval academy
which is to be opened for the re-
ception of its first class next week,
is located at Mariel, little seaport
about 25 miles west of Havana where
the bay is large enough for such
purposes and where other shipping
is not sufficient to interfere.
The celebrated Rubens Palace,
built by the former New York lawyer
who helped work out Cuba's legal
tangles of the New York junta dur
ing revolutionary days, is to serve as
the main edifice of the new school.
Cuba desires to have several officers
Of the United States navy among
her instructors, and President Memo
cal has requested President Wilson
to furnish them. She is anxious to
have American naval officers for
two branches especially submarine
and artillery. She does not boast
a submarine yet in her fleet, but it
is the present plan to purchase one
or more of the udersea craft in the
near future.

Wireless Chain
Longest in World

San Diego, Sept. THE third of
five links in the longest chain in the
world-from Washington, D. c., to
Cayite, P. l., via the Panama canal,
was completed here today.
The chain is the navy's and the
links are wirless stations that will
enable United States fleets all over
the world to keep in touch with
Washington without the aid of car
rier pigeons mails or prestidigation.
San Diego's link consists of three
towers, each 900 feet high. They
will connect with the two stations al
ready in working order at Arlington,
Va, near Washington, and in the
Canal Zone, half way between the
canals Atlantic and Pacific termin-
ais and with the proposed huge sta
tion at Pearl Harbor, Honolulu. The
Honolulu station will connect the
Philippines with the United States.
The San Diego radio cost Uncle
Sam $25O,O0O. When the wireless
chain is complete the United States
will be far ahead of all other ma
tions in this respect.
The formal opening of the big
radio station here will take place
later, when the first messages will
be sent out to the.world by the pro-
prietor, Uncle Sam.
A force of 20 operators will be on
duty at the station. The equipment
provides for the reception and dis
patch of messages at the same time.
The flashes will travel practically
around the earth at the speed of
light.
Lieutenant ]. NJ. Ashley, of the
navy, will be in command here.

Stanley Explains.

Editor Tidings: l noticed in last
Mondays issue an account of myself
on the former Friday. If your re-
porter had come to me he might
have got it accurately instead of up
side down. The only thing l have
any objections to is, it kind of made
me look like a rowdy, which l am
not. But to cap the climax, the Ash
land Record must try and make me
look as small as it possibly can. Fur
thermore, this is the second time
that they have made some sneering
remarks concerning me, and the
reason is that l have not been able
to pay for the advertisement they
are carrying for the year. Worst
luck, for it is not doing me the least
good; in fact, l have done less busi-
ness since they have had my ad in
their paper than | did before it was
there. But aside from that, If he
or they, as the case may be, have
any personal i'll feelings towards me,
let them come and see me personal
" like a man and argue with me If
they want to; not try to bite pieces
out of a poor devil who is hanging
on by the skin of his teeth to hold
his business together, and half starv-
ing half his time to do so.
The other man argued to my face
and got his face hurt with my fists,
not with sticks and stones. as stated.
The next one that comes along may
do the same for me. Anyway, / am
not looking for trouble with any
body. but if they are looking for
trouble with me, l don't think they
will make me run. Furthermore,
have had within this last twelve
months more trouble than many a
one gets all their lifetime, and any
one coming along and trying to push
more on my back is likely to get it
in the neck themselves. only hope
it may not happen. l am, sir,

THE JACKSON COUNTY FAIR.

is TO be held at Medford on Septem-
ber IS. II, Is and 16. Liberal
premiums are offered for exhibits OF
stock, poultry, fruits, grains, flow
ers. minerals, products Of kitchen
and pantry, embroidery and fancy
work. fine arts, children's exhibits,
school exhibits. etc.
In addition to the premiums Of
fered there are other features OF in
terest. among which is field day
program open to participation by all
who attended the Jackson county
schools last year. Prizes are offered
TO individuals and to schools for the
best records made.
The elimination of horse racing at
county fairs is becoming more the
custom every year. so that the ef-
forts OF the exhibitors and the man
agement are centered more strongly,
not upon the feature Of entertain
ment which elicits rivalry and keen
competition among few, most or
whom are often from outside the
territory, but upon proper encour-
agement of the development of the
orchards, farms and the handiwork
OF the people living in the commun-
ity and whose best interests are
served through the progress made
in the homely efforts of tilling the
soil and educating the hands and the
brains OF the common people tC
make the most OF the wonderful op'
portunities within the grasp of the
ambitious and the intelligently in
dustrious men, women and children
in every community.
Publicity is the very keynote OF
the life of modern competition
Through county fair exhibits and
gatherings is secured the publicity
which stimulates friendly rivalry and
the efforts on the part Of all to do
their best in the common walks of
life. without knowing of their
neighbors' efforts and without COM
ing into the personal touch with
other members Of the community
through grange meetings, public pic
mics, school meeting and other gath
erings OF the sort OF which the coun-
" fair is the largest and most repre-
sentative, the people of any locality
can not accomplish the legitimate
and exceptional results which are
only the outTowth Of cooperation
IN its widest sense.
So. in the hope that the county
fair will accomplish all the good
which it is designed to accomplish
and will bring real and lasting re-
suits TO those who have the mind
and heart TO see and understand the
possible benefits, the, Tidings urges
upon everyone in Jackson county the
importance OF cooperating in every
way with the management Of the fair

able. Those who secure premiums
viii receive their reward in material
form, and those whose exhibits do
not win premiums will receive a re-
ward perhaps greater in stimulating
within them a determination to win
a place among the best. The bene-
fits to all will be measured largely
BY the spirit in which they expend
their efforts and with which they
accept the results.
The direct management OF the fair
this year is largely in the hands Of

things and accomplish results. 10y

Road Patrol System
And Dry Towns

Eugene heSlsbSAs h"N NA-N f
system OF roads is the only success
full and economical system, is the
firm belief Of F. +. Wetherbee, OF
this city. who recently returned from
over a sO0O-mile automobile tour
TO the Atlantic coast in which he had
an opportunity TO ride over roads
in "a states and view conditions
first hand. Another matter particu-
larly noticed by Mr.. Wetherbee is the
marked difference in conditions in
the dry and wet states in favor OF
the drys.
Mr.. Wetherbee was accompanied
on the trip by Mrs. Wetherbee, his
daughter, Miss Beatrice, Miss Ruth
Davis. instructor in the university
school of music, and Kenneth Cock
erline. They were gone II weeks
travelling approximately AZ days and
visiting friends and relatives for 81
days on the trip.
Mr.. Wetherbee reports delightful
trip and encountered less trouble
than he often has experinced be-
tween Eugene and Salem. They lost
the road but once, and that was in
Eastern rOegon where they travelled
seven miles out of their way.
81 am firmly convinced that the
patrol system is the only reasonable
practical and economical method OF
preserving our roads, said Mr.. Weth-
erbee. The patrol road we found
in the east, which system is begin
ming to he more popular, were dis
tinctly better than the others.
Where we spend thousands OF
dollars to build a road, then let it
go until it is necessary to spend
thousands more dollars to replace it,
the patrol system, at very low ex-
penditure comparatively, keeps the
road like a boulevard the year
around.
I'VE stopped to inquire of a patrol
man the way on a road in Maryland
one day, and I questioned him con-
cerning the patrol system. He told
me that he had a district extending
2S miles. It was like boulevard.
It had been built five years before,
and the only work done on 1t had
been dore by this man. the only ex-
pense being the employment Of that
man and a horse the year around
with small loads Of crushed rock
placed at intervals of half mile or
such matter. These he used to fill
in and work the road over continu-
ally. He received perhaps $3.50 per
day for the work.
"The patrol system of preserving
roads is used in the east much more
than formerly and is proving econ
omical and practical. Where the
system has been started it has never
been dropped.
Another thing We noticed is
marked difference in the wet and
dry states. It was not only noticed
by us but many tourists on the road
remarked of it to us. In Illinois we
had to visit two towns, somewhat
smaller than Eugene, and in Wiscon-
sin three towns before we found a
hotel that was respectable enough
to take a woman into. Almost every
one about the hotel was intoxicated.
CAS- soon as one leaves Idaho on the
way east, a great change in the ap-
pearance Of the towns, the buildings
and the streets is noticeable. When
it comes to civic pride. cleanliness
and Identification of towns. the sa-
loon certainly shows its effect.
Another thing we noticed was the
fact that the towns and smaller cit
