Divert $4,000 for
Crater Lake Road

Eight thousand dollars will be di-
verted from the 1916 state appropria-
tion of $45, 900 for the Siskiyou High
way to cooperate with the United
States government in making a sur
vey for paved highway from Med
ford to Crater Lake. This action was
taken at meeting of the state high
way commission at Salem Thursday.
Federal engineers will make the
survey, which will be completed this
year. Work will be started upon the
survey as soon as the weather settles.
The state highway commission also
decided upon the Glendale route for
the Pacific Highway through Douglas
county. The advisory board and
State Engineer Lewis had recon-
mended cutoff about four miles
shorter. State Treasurer Kay voted
to follow the recommendation of the
board and the engineer, but Governor
Withycombe and Secretary of State
Olcott were against it, assigning as
reasons that the cutoff would leave
Glendale off the Pacific Highway, and
also that it would cost SCI 900, and
that it could not be constructed for
several years. To grade the Glendale
route will cost $25, 900 and the coun-
ty has money available for this work.

The scenery for Carmen" is al
most finished. | think (and | also
think that most people will agree
with me) that no better scenery
could be bought. Professor Harmon
is the chief architect. With the help
of some of the manual training pupils
he made the frames for the scenery
and covered them with canvas. Eu-
nice Grubb did most Of the painting,
although she was helped some by
the art students. Both her work and
that of Mr.. Harmon are of the very
best. When one looks at the castle
walls which they constructed he is
at first tempted to think that real
medieval stronghold is before him.
The fault one can now find with
their work is that the smell of paint
pervades the atmosphere in its imme-
diate vicinity. However, this will all
be remedied in the course of time.
Some of the Medford papers are
saying something about a catsup
factory which is to be located at Med
ford (of course). This will surely
be the making of Medford high
school, for it will draw countless
brawny youths to Medford Not only
that, but it will encourage the manly |
art of crate-heaving among the |
younger set of that fair city which
will make for a stronger, more
healthy element in the high school,
an element which is sadly needed at
present. And then, anyway, the trade
in this variety of bottled goods will
be much better than the kind OF
trade that has been carried on here
tofore.
The chemistry class caused much
excitement Thursday morning. They
were working with some unknown
solutions, trying to find out what
substances were present in them. One
student in testing for one substance
poured some sulphuric acid into ;
portion of his solution, causing it to
look like a cold storage egg. He
then started to evaporate it, and
enough smoke came out Of that little
dish to fiji the halls with smoke and
cause a fire drill. The only trouble
with the experiment was that it did
no good The substance he was try {
ing to find was not there.
Miss Dean of Medford visited the
high school Monday She went t
through all the departments.
If you go into the art room now ,
you will see big sheets of paper on
the walls all around the room. On
them are meaning ess letters and de-
signs that look like cubist art. You
will think the place is a mad-house
But if you wish to visit the room you
had better wait few days and you
will probably see some fine Carmen"
posters. They are just in the max
ing now and one can not get much out
of them.
In a class meeting last Friday
morning the seniors decided to have
Rev. H. J. Van Fossen preach the
baccalaureate sermon at the Meth
odist church Miss Harris is to hep
them with their music.
Everyone should have been in Med
ford last Friday night to see "Cli-

indians" on Warpath.

Several Indians" from Chicago now
doing their bit for Uncle Sam have
held q council Of war-a council of war
with cold peace pipe, which is quite
unaboriginal-and the reason Is to be
found in the following soldiers letter:
Sunday.
Camp Wilson, Fort Sam Houston. San
Antonio, Tex.-Just a few words from the
Indians" Of Company L. First Illinois
infantry. The Indians called a council Of
war and decided to hit the trail at a. m
After making blanket rolls they started
on the warpath, on their trusty ponies
commonly known as shank's mare.
BY the time they had tramped for an
hour and a half they suffered their first
defeat at the hands Of General Sun and
his army Of 10 (degrees). The Indians
held their ground, but soon retreated to
the shelter of their cool and comfortable
tepees-cool and comfortable In this case
meaning 105 in the shade and no shade.
We do not want the people in Chicago
to get the impression that the Indians
are uncivilized, as they originated in
Hamilton park. The cause of the out
break this morning was due to the lack
of tobacco for their peace pipes.
AS soon as we receive a supply Of the
weed, which we expect from our fellow
tribesmen in Chicago. peace will once
more reign on the reservation. Hoping
that our friends will see this article, we
remain,

Writes She Got No Pay.

Here is part of q letter written by
the wife Of soldier In the Seventy
first New York regiment who refused
to join the depot battalion before his
regiment left New York until he was
assured his employers were going to
pay his salary while he was away:
New York, Tuesday.
My Dear-Now, dear, don't think l am
crazy for writing so often, as Just can
not help 1t. Your mother called up today
to let me know that your father couldn't
get your money. I had not got a cent.
l only hope that Queenie will never know
the hunger for something to eat as had
since you went away. Florrie and Ida
and Rita have given me some money
since you left and I have been down
there quite often for supper. but you
know how I am. don't like to be al
ways going down there.
Well, Honey, as the days go on seem
to be getting more and more disguised
with life. Here I am, can't 60 out. for 1
expect some one from the Seventy-frst
regiment up. I have not got a cent and
nothing to eat. I don't worry any more.
for I really don't care what happens to
me now. I tell you. Honey. If 1t wasn't
for the children I never would put up
with 1t. I don't know what will do to-
night for have not got any supper for
the children.
P. S.-Don't forget to try hard. as hard
as you can. to come home. for we need
you badly.
When this case was reported one Of
the officers Of the regiment at once tel
egraphed to his wife to aid the family.
and it is supposed that the auxiliary
has considered the case also.

changing his khaki garb for civilian at

cantinas, where, with fingers crossed,
he says, he was forced to drink to
"Muertos los Gringos."
A Mexican dance was In full swing,
and Private Dorres grabbed himself a

peaks Of the Casas Grandes mountains
when the dance broke up and Dorres
came home to be arrested.

Battery A Has Record.

The most distinguished organization
In the camp at Llano Grande is Bat

Is president Of the Indiana Society Of

went into Porto Rico in '0S Its guns
had just been trained on the mountain
passes beyond Guaymas when word
came that peace had been declared.
Battery B is made up entirely Of en-.
cheering students from Purdue uni.
versity, and Battery G also was re-
cruited in the university city of La.
fayette.
Major Robert II. Tyndall, command.
ing the artillery battalion, is consid-
cred one Of the two best posted ma.
tional guard officers in the country. The
other is Major General John f. Organ
Of New York. The two, both captains
then, represented the guard on the
executive council Of the Field Artillery
association some years ago.
Because of Major Tyndall's training
(for years past he practically aban-
doned all other pursuits to attend wal
schools) the artillerymen are the most
comfortable Of the troops here. They
are encamped on the highest land, have
the best equipment, barring ammuni.
ton, and the best organized messes.
