mo Leather" Shoes
TO Soon Be with Us

The mo leather" shoe is out. Not
one bit of leather, say dealers, will
enter into the new shoes Driven by
the scarcity Of hides, manufacturers
have gone the full limit and absolute
" tabooed leather. Instead Of soft
kid or kangaroo leather for the shoe
uppers, they plan to use new water
proof cloth. The shoe soles will be
made Of composition which like
wise is waterproof and can stand hard
wear.
The mo leather" shoes, 1t Is said,
will sell for about half the price Of
the all-leather kind. The CLOTH
which will substitute for leather, is
woven under process that prevents
the fiber from spreading, and 1t is
said shoes made from It will hold
their shape as long as leather.
The mo leather" shoes will be
made in tans. blacks, browns, grays
and other colors, say retailers who
have seen the samples, II is not
known when the mo leather" shoes
will be placed on the local market

will Prepare Road
Bond Argument

Hillsboro, Ore, March 12.-Dr. W.
D. Wood, senior member of the legis-
lative committee of eight, appointed
to represent the state legislature in
preparing the official argument for
the road bond bill, has called meet
ing of that committee to be. held at
the Imperial hotel, Portland, Satur-
day, March II.
At that time the committee will
give formal consideration to propos-
ais that have come in from all parts
of the state, asking the committee
as the official body representing the
legislature in the bonding act, to call
a conference for the organization of
state committee or association
which can establish an information
headquarters for the bonding cam
paign.
Such a committee would include
representatives of local good roads
organizations of all the counties in
the state.
Senator Wood views with favor the
moves initiated at Astoria, Eugene,
Medford, Pendleton and Redmond to
organize state highway associations or
district good roads associations.
THE main thing" he said today,
"is to have some headquarters to
issue impartial and authentic infor-
nation such as is being requested by
the different county organizations.
Either the different movements
for state organizations can be Joined
in the interest Of economical manage
ment of one headquarters, or they
can work separately if the people pro-
noting the different organizations so
prefer. There is plenty of work for
all to do.
1T is very important, however, to
have one association or committee
which is looked to as representing
all the counties, and whose authority
In furnishing statistical matter and
to the press will com
mand confidence and respect. Such
an association should be organized
and controlled by delegates from all
the counties, and should not merely
some one section Of the
state"

Think Natr0n Road
May Be Completed

The possibility of early commence
ment upon the work of completing
the Natron cutoff is impressed by the
following item from Springfield, Ore.
which is at the northern end of the
proposed cutoff
"Thc Eugene Chamber of COM
merce. the Portland Chamber of Com
merce and the Sen Francisco Cham
Der of Commerce have been asked by
the citizens of Springfield to use what
influence they have against the un-
merging of tho Southern Pacific anG
Central Pacific railroads. o. B.
Kessey of the Commercial State Bank
of that city has wired such a request
to the Portland and San Francisco
chambers.
"Thc recent decision ofthe court az
Salt Lake City, Utah, in the govern
ment's suit to separate the two COM
panleS, ana Wnlcn was IN raV0r or the
company, has greatly encouraged the.
people of Springfield, as they say that
they have been promised by the
Southern Pacific Company that if it-
wins the suit great shops will be
erected there on several hundred
acres Of land purchased number of
years ago, and that the Natron- KIam-
ath Falls cutoff will be completed 1t
will probably be some time before
final decision is rendered, but de-
cision in. favor of the railroad COM
pany in the lower court Is taken as q
good indication by tho Springfield

nounced that the time of closing the

voters pamphlet, and from the many
essays already received a great deal
of valuable data is now available.
"The most popular Of the four
prize contests is contest B, which is
to show the benefits which will &C
crue to the state from the improve
ments described in the bond bill. For
this a prize of $25 is offered for the
best essay and SIS for the second
best"
All manuscripts should be sent to
Senator w. D. Wood at Hillsboro

Invite Teachers
To Come To Oregon

County Superintendent Of Schools
G. w. Ager is sending to all of the
schools of the county the following
letter with urgent requests that the
children help along in the work Of
attracting many of the thousands of
teachers of the country to the Port
land convention and also to this sec
tion of the country while in the west.
Ashland and Crater Lake literature
is being sent to the teachers and will
be enclosed with the letters:
Jacksonville, Ore, March 8.
To Teachers ard School Children,
Jackson County Oregon.
Dear Friends: Oregon is to be ia
vored by having the National Educa-
tional Association meeting at Port
land during the week of July to IA,
1917. This is the greatest education
al organization in the world, and
every teacher should attend. We
want those in the extreme eastern
part of the United States to attend
with teachers and educators of the
west.
The great conflict in Europe will
prevent many from going across the
waters, but the cross country roads to
the wonders Of the west will offer no
barriers. An effort is being made to
induce every teacher in the United
States to come to that meeting this
summer, and incidentally visit some
of Oregons scenic wonders. Crater
Lake, so easily reached from Med
ford, Is one of the wonders OF the
world, and teachers should know OF
1t in order that they may stop en-
route. Ashland, with her mineral
springs and beautiful camping
grounds, will appeal to many. The
great roundup at Ashland July 3, 4
and 5 might appeal to others IL they
only knew of 1t. Will you help get
the word to them?
School children in this county havs
been asked to write to teachers in
the east, telling thcm of this great
educational meeting in Portland July
7 to IA, and In order to have the
work carried out systematically, We
are enclosing a list of supcrintend-.
ants or teachers and will ask that
you write personal letters to them
land others If you wish, calling their
attention to this meeting. Several
letters might be sent to each super
intendent for distribution among his
teachers. The commercial clubs OF
both Ashland and Medford have kind
ly contributed leaflets and scenic
stickers for our use. Some of these
are enclosed and are to be given to-
those who prepare good letters.
A form of letter Is being enclosed,
but am sure there will be no objec-
tion to your inserting something
about other attractions Of which you
may know.
Very truly yours

County School Superintendent

Many Changes in
State Game Laws

Fishermen and hunters may save
so cents on each license by buying
them before May 21, as on that date
the law passed at the recent session
of the legislature goes into effect In
creasing the price of hunting and
angling licenses from 81 to $3.50, and
a combination license from 50 to 50.
State Game Warden Carl d. Shoe
maker says that there hes been quite
a rush for licenses in many parts of
the state, due in all probability to
the fact that the raise In licenses will
become effective soon. Other changes
in the game code made at the session
of the legislature just closed are as
follows:
Free running dogs, or dogs follow
ing upon the track of any game ami
NAL, may be declared q nuisance after
notification in writing to the owner
of dogs, and the animals may then be
killed without any criminal or civil
liability on the part of the person
killing the same.
One-half of all fine moneys will
hereafter be sent to the credit of the
game protection fund.
Women are exempt from purchas-
ing angling licenses, but must obtain
hunting license If they desire to
hunt for any Of the game birds and
game animals of the stete.
The deer season for district No. /,
which is western Oregon, has been
shortened two weeks and will here
after open on August Is and close on
October 10. The bag limit has been
reduced from three to two deer in
any season.
In game district No. the open
deer season begins on September
and will close on October 81, with
the exception of Klamath, Malheur
and Harney counties, where the sea-
son will be the same as In district
No. /. Bag limit is reduced to two
deer.
The open season on migratory
birds throughout the state will be
from October / to January Is, with
the exception Of Malheur and Harney
counties, where the season will be
from September 16 to December 81.
The Chinese pheasant hen has beeri
projected and only male birds may
hereafter be killed. The bag limit is
five in any one day and not more
than ten in any seven consecutive
days.
In Hood River county ten days
open season on male Chinese pleas
ants has been provided, from October
/ to October TO- with bag limit of
three birds in any one day or ten
during the season.
All over the state the bag limit on
trout has been reduced from rs to so
trout, or 35 pounds in any one day.
Winter fishing for trout in game
district No. has been prohibited
with the exception that trout over IS
inches in length may be caught,
The open season on six-inch trout
begins April l, and sportsmen are
urged to purchase their licenses and
carry them on their person, as strict
orders have been given deputies to
check up all anglers found fishing in
the streams.
