Bridge Finished

The state highway bridge across
the Sacramento river at the upper
end of Dunsmuir is completed. The
bridge is ready to be thrown open
TO public travel, but the state high
way commission is waiting for Duns-
muir to do its part by Strengthening
the road at the south end. AS it is
now there is sharp turn right at
the approach of the bridge.
The structure cost close to $50, 600
and is perhaps the most beautiful
bridge on the highway in that part Of
California. There are three spans.
The middle span, under which the
river flows, is $50 feet long The
south span is ia feet in length. The
railroad is under this arch. The
north span is also ia feet long. The
old wagon road passes under this.
Approaches at each end add to the
length of the bridge.
The state highway commission is
graveling the road between Dunsmuir
and Shasta Springs and also between
Yreka and the state line.

be the first test of football strength
in many years between Oregon and
California. The one university out
numbers the other in attendance
about ten to one, yet such is the
quality of the fine Oregon squad
that the giant of the south is be-
lieyed to have small advantage. "Af-
ter all, only eleven men can meet
eleven of ours at once" said Hugo

Coach Bezdek will take eighteen

teen towns, of which eleven are Ore

Health Insurance
Is Debate Subject

Sixty five Oregon high schools
have now become members of this
years Oregon High School Debating
League. Last years membership
was fifty-one. The membership has
doubled in three years.
The subject for debate this winter
was announced last Saturday by the
state Officials. 1t is. Resolved,
that Oregon should adopt a health
insurance law embodying the essen
tial features of the Standard Bill of
the American Association for Labor
Legislation.
Health insurance was chosen be-
cause of increasing public interest in
it, because of the newness of the pro-
posal in the west, and because it is
expected to become an issue in Ore
gon within a year.
Twenty-seven schools are enrolled
this year that we're not members last
year. Central Point, Glendale and
Sutherlin are the new southern Ore
gon members.
The state library and the Univers-
ity of Oregon library can furnish
certain amount of data to inQuiring
debaters. Other inquiries may be
sent to the secretary of the league
Earl Fitzpatrick, University of Ore
gon, Eugene. The siXty-five schools
contest for the University of Oregon
cup, now held by Prineville high
school.

Says SiskiyOu
Road a Wonder

H. II. Fling, manager Of the Port
land branch of the Overland com
pany. was down from Portland last
week visiting Local Agent George
Miner. He made the trip back to
Portland in a single day. Regard
ing the southern Oregon roads Mr.
Fling is quoted bv the Portland Ore
gonian as follows;
"Mr. Fling has great praise for the
roads of southern Oregon, but con-
demns the condition of the road be-
tween Portland and Salem, the two
largest cities in the state.
They can say all they want
about the terrors of the Pass Creek,
Cow Creek and Wolf Greek hills and
canyons, but want to tell you that
the condition of the road between
Portland and Salem is worse than
anything found in southern Oregon,
the canyons included. For instance,
there has been a deep hole in the
road between Aurora and Salem that
is quite enough to break car and
motorists neck. From Central
Point on through Medford to Ash
land and then over the Siskiyou
mountains to California Is the finest
sort OF a road. That new road over
the mountains is a wonder and the
beauty Of the thing is that they are
improving it all the time. The
weather was beautiful and I want to
tell you that those valleys in south
ern Oregon are about the prettiest
sights that ever confronted motor
ist.

An automobile OF the vintage Of
1906 plays an important role in a
new Triangle Keystone comedy now
being directed by Clarence Badger.
The comedy is a rural story in which
Gloria Swanson, Bobby Vernon and
Reggie Morris form a triangle com
posed of beautiful girl, hero and vii
lain. The REQ was found in the me-
chanical department of the Keystone
studio and was once the property of
Mack Sennett. Guided by Bobby
Vernon, the honest farmer boy in the
picture, the roadster is run up the
front steps of a downtown palatial
home through the reception hall and
on up the stairs. Much care and in
fact skilled engineer was required
TO build the set on a sufficiently firm
foundation to support the weight of
the macLine, Bobby Vernon and a
butler, whom the driver of the car
picks up on the hood during his spec
tacular ride through the various
rooms. Trouble arises when the REQ
hits a polished floor in the hall.
Spinning about like a top, the ma
chine whirls all about the hall, final
ly settling down to a regular reyoly-
ing glide in a circular motion, which
throws Mr.. Vernon and the butler on
the floor with heavy thud. During
the shooting" of this scene soft soap
was required to produce a sufficient
smoothness on the floor for the mo-
tor to turn about rapidly on its heavy
tires.
