COMES LONG WAY TO SCHOOL.
Virginia Richmond Travels Ten Miles
Day.

Five miles, each way, every day, is
the price Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Richmond
and little Miss Virginia Richmond of
Salt Creek are paying, so that Vir-
ginia may attend school in Dallas.
Miss Virginia entered school Monday
and she will have Travelled 1850 miles
before school is closed next year. As
either parent must accompany her
each day it means an added 1850
miles, or a total of 5000 miles the
Richmond family will spend before
next June. That is, provided Mr..
or Mrs. Richmond do not find it neces-
sary to travel back to their Salt
Creek home after bringing Virginia
in each morning. AS they will prob
ably find it more economical of time
to do this, the grand total mileage
will undoubtedly exceed $500 before
the 1916-1917 school year closes.

SAYS BUSINESS IMPROVES.
Farmers Await Cars for Shipping
Their Crops.


In speaking of conditions in Dal-
las to an Observer reporter yesterday,
a well-posbed business man stated
that business was showing marked i'm
provement, and this winter would see
it better than for several years past.
"The only obstacle to still further
improvement" he remarked, sis the
car situation. The shortage has made
it necessary for the holding of agri-
cultural products here that would
have gone out weeks ago, and because
the farmers cannot get their money
until crops are on the car, many have
been compelled to extend loans and
pay additional interest on borrowed
This condition, however, will
be overcome as the railroad
companies are relieved of the heavy
fall rush of business" he remarked.
F'Crops have been far better than in
the past several years and when all
of the money from them is put into
it is bound to make a still
better feeling. Everybody is anxious
to sell and the stuff will go out just
as fast as the railroad company can
furnish the cars"

To act for Polk county in all dis

able 10 settle the differences between
the two county courts as to the kind
of bridge and the place to erect the
proposed bridge.
The Marion county court wants the

CHAMBERLAIN DEFENDS PARTY
Asserts Opponents Have Criticized
And Offered Nothing.

United States Senator George T.
Chamberlain spoke to a crowded
house in the armory last night in de-
fense of the Wilson administration
He asserted that the Hughes cam
paign had been one Of villification
and personal abuse and that the Re-
publican nominee had not offered one
constructive criticism. The senator
reviewed the acts Of the Wilson ad-
ministration the federal reserve act,
the rural credits bill, the child labor
law, the road bill, the shipping bill,
the Alaska railroad measure, the
eight-hour law and the foreign policy
Of Wilson's secretaries of state.
In introducing Mr.. Chamberlain, E..
K. Piasecki referred to the career
of the speaker of the evening and
mentioned his personal popularity.
That the speaker was personally re-
membered during the evening was
shown by the applause that interrupt
ed his speech several times. Mr..
Chamberlain s ability to remember
faces and names and anecdotes stood
him in good stead

of the prohibition law, but in the

of society will be best subserved by
sspending sentence. Mr.. Shriver is
rs years of age, has served his country
well, has always borne a good repu-

violation of the Oregon

If | were to severely punish him un-

that would feel almost guilty of
crime myself. Those who are dis

penalties in proper cases.

TRAFFIC CENSUS vADE|

ION BRIDGE IN MONTH. VA
Count Was Made by Watchman sta
toned on the Bridge-Motor-
cycles Are Numerous.

A record of all kinds of traffic
over the Marion-Polk county bridge
at Center street, for the month be-
ginning September 10 at $50 a. m.,
to the same hour October 10, has been
compiled by the state highway de-
partment.
The count was made by Watchmen
McAdams, Donaldson and Parker
who are stationed on the bridge.
The figures obtained give an idea of
the inconvenience which would be
caused by suspension of traffic over
the structure.
The census shows that during the
thirty-day period 2l,OO8 automobiles,
1883 motorcycles, bicycles and pc
destrians, 10,307 horse-drawn We
hicles and .923 head of stock crossed
the bridge. The daily average was
as follows: 700 automobiles, 464 mo-
torcycles, bicycles and pedestrians,
343 horse-drawn vehicles and 81 head
of stock. The maximum automobile
traffic occurred on Portland day at
the state fair, when 1879 automobiles
crossed the bridge. During two hours
in the morning of that day the record
shows 300 automobiles having crossed
the river.
The heaviest horse drawn traffic oc-
Cured on Saturdays, the maximum
being on October 7, when 479 vehi-
cles of that class crossed. There are

FORMER RESIDENT HURT.
DEL. ELLIS IN AUTO ACCIDENT
AT MEDFoRD.
Has Foot Bones Dislocated and Arch
Bone Broken When Motorcycle
Strikes Car.

Del. Ellis, proprietor of the Oak.
dale cash grocery at Medford, and O

a year ago, was seriously injured last
Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock when
Eddie Jackson, a 16-year-old youth
living near Roxy Ann, drove his mo-
torcycle into the car belonging to and
driven by DR.. E. R. Seeley, in Med
ford, in which Ellis was riding.
The accident happened when the
Seeley auto came over the brow of a
hill on the Crater Lake road, about
a mile out of Medford. The boy was
seen riding his motorcycle toward the
party at rate of 20 miles an hour
on the left hand side of the road, and
in order to avoid him DR.. Seeley held
the auto close to the embankment.
When within so yards of the auto
the motorcycle wavered and then sud-
denly turned still further to the rid
er's left, dashing into the auto which
meanwhile had turned entirely out of
the road. Ellis was in the back of
the car, sitting on top of a load of
camp equipment with his foot hanging
over the side. When the motorcycle
struck his foot it dislocated every
bone in it and drove the arch bone
through the skin and shoe. Mr.. Ellis
was Immediately removed to Medford
where his foot was operated upon.
