Shasta Limited
Not to Be Removed

Rumors that the Shasta limited
may be removed from Southern Pa
cific schedules as a step toward traf-
fic economy under federal control
are vigorously denied by John M.
Scott, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, who recently re-
turned from a company conference
at San Francisco, according to the
Eugene Register.
There is no intention of withdraw
ing the Shasta from SERVICE" says
Mr.. Scott, "nor has such a proposal
been discussed. l am at a loss to
know where the rumor originated.
We cannot speak for the future, but
for the present no change of such
nature is even contemplated.
A circular has been issued from
the offices of the Southern Pacific
general freight agent and general
passenger agent, whose headquarters
are in Portland, advising that aside
from the discontinuance of soliciting
business there will be no change for
the present in the service.
Agents will continue to furnish
shippers and passengers with all in
formation available on request, as
has been the practice in the past, but
no suggestions will be made as to the
routing of freight or passenger trav-
ell, the choice Of routes being left en-
tirely to the discretion of the shipper
or passenger.

which is changed from Is cents for
three minutes to 20 cents for one
minute. In general 54 per cent of
the tolls were lowered, 26 per cent
raised and 20 per cent remained un-

Jackson's Exemption
Allowance ReinStated

County Clerk Gardner is watching
the interest of Jackson county in the
matter of draft with a careful eye.
Jackson county volunteered far be-
yond its quota of soldiers and was
entitled under the law to credit
against its draft quota for these vol
unteers. Word same down that this
allowance would not be made. About
that time the County Clerks State
Association met and Mr.. Gardner had
the following resolutions adopted by
that body, each county clerk in the
state being member of the local ex-
emption board. As result, the de-
cision against Jackson county has
been rescinded and proper exemp-
tions are now allowed:
Whereas, almost all the members
of this County Clerks Association are
members of the local boards through
out the state, and there being at this
time a majority of the county clerks
present; and
Whereas, owing to the great de-
mand of the present exigency great
demand is being made upon the man.
hood Of every community of this
state; and
Whereas, a great number through
out the state of Oregon have entered
the service of the regular army and
national guard, which, in some COM
munities, has removed almost all
men in Glass l under the new Select
i've Regulations; and
Whereas, Section 2 of the selective
service law provides that each sub
division of each state shall receive
credit for all persons who were in
the minitary service of the United
States as members of the national
guard on April l, 1917, or who have,
since that date, entered the military
service of the United States from
any such subdivision. either as mem
bers of the regular army or the ma
tional guard; and
Whereas, the acting adjutant gen.
'eral for the state of Oregon has made
the ruling that no credit will be CIV
en- for any net quota remaining on
June 30, 1917, such net quota having
been apportioned to the various sub
divisions of the state on said date;

Whereas, there were in some coun-
ties net quota of from so to 120

counties in this state, under such ap-
portionment, which will ultimately

Oil Company to
Operate In Valley

An organization called the Rogue
River Oil Company was organized
during the past year and has recently
been completed with DR.. E. B. Pickel
as president, A. Evan Reames secre-
tary and James w. Dunlop treasurer.
The board of directors is comprised
of the officers, with the addition of
DR.. F. c. Page and James NJ. Dress
Ter. The company is capitalized at
$3.50 900, with offices in Medford.
The plan that this comp2nv expects
to operate is along co-o2e.a.i~a ideas
with a certain portion of capital stock
set aside for the benefit of any land
owners making leases to this com
pany on a pro-rata basis of the num-
Der of acres so leased All leases
accepted by this company are placed
in the hands of the Jackson County
Bank as trustee, together with a
trust claim deed executed by the
company to the landowner, accom-
panied by an escrow agreement safe
guarding the landowner. When the
desired amount of leases have been
secured and are in the hands of the
trustee, the company will have ar
rangements completed so as to begin
the actual field operations.
From previous test work in this
field the company feels justified in
their action of going ahead and thor
oughly prospecting this territory in
"a conservative and businesslike man

allotted by the government for forest
roads in the national forest states
under Section of the federal aid
road act is $12S.111 for 1918, and
a similar amount each year until

Oregon which have been approved by
Secretary Houston are II miles of
