State Road Survey
To Be Made Shortly

j. II. Scott, locating engineer for
the state highway commission, has
spent the past month in Jackson
and klamath counties looking over
the road situations in this section. He
acw has corps of men here with
the object Of investigating the var!.
ous routes between Ashland and Kla-
math Falls preparatory to selecting
the best grade over the mountain
with view to making a highway
connecting the two sections of coun-
try.
This Is a matter that has long since
feen under the advisement of the
ashland Commercial club. The ad-
Yantages to be gained by communi-
eating the sections of territory con-
sisting Of Jackson, klamath and Lake
counties have been before the minds
Of the leaders Of the club, and un-
ceasing efforts have been made to
secure a highway for many years.
Early in the spring Secretary f. J.
Shinn made a trip to Portland in
the Interest of this project, and the
fruits of this visit have resulted in
the state highway commission TAX.
ing over the work which in connec
tion Sith the southern tier OF coun.
ties will in all probability open this
field for communication with one an
other.
Engineer Scott has his crew near
the Wagner soda springs, and is pre-
pairing to make an extensive and ex-
haustive survey Of all the feasible
routes over the mountains to the
klamath Falls country. He is al
ready satisfied that he has found a
q per cent grade over the mountain
and will make a fine highway be-
tween the two sections. However,
n thorough survey will be made of
the various routes and the one most
practicable to the engineer will be
selected.
The work of securing a route for
q practical highway over tho moun-
tain will occupy about three months
and will be the basis of the state
highway commission action in the
matter of building the highway.
This project is considered one of
.he most important for commercial
advantages in southern Oregon, and
VIII be an advantageous factor in the
military highway program that is be-
ing advocated along the coast.

Valuable Gifts TO
The Salvage Depot

Some very liberal contributions
have been presented to the salvage de-
pot recetly that are of vast help in
augmenting the funds for the Red
Cross. Not only is the depot being
filled with many articles of house
hold and wearing apparel, but many
other donations have been offered
that are of much worth to the donor
and indicate the patriotic sentiment
that prevails among the people Of
this community.
Among recent valuable contribu-
ticns is that made by Mrs. A. F VIII
son, of 1872 Seventh street, in which
she has placed large number of val
liable canaries at the disposal
of the Red Cross to sell, the
proceeds of which go entirely to
the Red Cross. Mrs. Wilson has
large number of pure bred Andreas-
burg Roller, Oriole and Hartz Noun
tain canaries, and these may be Or
oered at the Red Cross salvage de-
pot, or call her by phone number

Another patriotic offering is that
made by Mrs. John f. Butler, of $50

fine singing birds to the Red Cross

HuckleberrieS Are
Big Crop This Year

J. j. Walker and family have re-
Gently returned from the Huckle-
berry mountain in klamath county,
where they spent several days in
hat region gathering the lucious
berries that grow in such wild pro-
fusion there. This section has been
we'll known for many years as the
only place where huckleberries grow
IN great quantity. 1t is vast area
Of state land and is available for
any one to reach and help them
selves.
Mr.. Walker states that the buckle.
berry crop is a wonderful one this
year. At the present time thous-
ands of quarts of berries are going
10 waste on the bushes, and are OF
unusually fine size and quality. In
c-der to corner the market, Mr.
Walker says, report has been cir
Culated that there are no berries on
.he Huckleberry mountain this year.
This statement is incorrect, as there
are more and finer berries than he
has ever seen there before. The rea-
son for this statement being made,
Il Is claimed, is that huckleberries
sell this year for 81 per gallon, and
in order to obtain this price those
who pick them for sale wish to dis
courage people from gathering the
nerries for themselves.
The huckleberry district is easily
reached, Mr.. Walker states. 1t Is
located about IA miles from Crater
Lake and any one going from this
section would do better to go the
Medford road, as there is an excel
lent highway all the way. The berry
season is now on, and despite reports
to the contrary, there are oodles of
berries going to waste on the tract

Camp Meeting Is
ArOusing Interest

The camp meeting which opened
near the park last Friday evening is
attracting much interest among the
people of Ashland, and at each serv-
ice a large audience greets the speak
trs. Interesting and impressive SER
mons are delivered each afternoon
and evening, while the music Is one
OF the attractive features of the
meetings.
Rev. j. T, Little, district superin.
'endent of the north Pacific district
is the leading evangelist at these
meetings. Mr.. Little needs no in
PRODUCTION to many of the attendants
of the camp meeting, as he is a form
er pastor of the local Nazarene
church, and filled the pulpit here for
three years. He has been away from
Ashland for five years, however, and
sees many changes and new faces in
the congregation of the Nazarene
church.
The afternoon services are in
charge Of Rev. Arthur Ingler, noted
singer and composer, whose efforts
along this line afford a special at
traction and interest in the meet
ings. Mr.. Ingler has Travelled extern
sively in evangelistic work, and has
sung in every state in the union. He
also sings a solo at each evening
service.
Rev. Frank Sutherland, the return
ed Canadian soldier, completes the
trio of talented exangelists who bring
a splendid service to their audience.

Canning Factory
OF Talent Starts

+. Il. Koozer, manager of the Bag
10y Canning factory of Talent, was
in Ashland yesterday in the inter-
es,s of his company. He states that
the canning factory has started on
It's seasons operation, and are busy
with large run of pears and toma-
toes, which will he followed later by
the canning of apples and apple juice.
The pear crop available about Tai
ent is an unusually large one this
year, and large acreage of toma-
toes has also been planted which will
afford a good season this year. The
apple crop is not so good, but a wide
field to draw from will bring in to
The factory a large amount.
Shortage of labor especially among
women and girls, is the greatest
drawback to the Bagley factory this
year. The local field is too small to
draw sufficient help from, and Mr..
.oozer has been interesting Ashland
workers to seek employment in the
factory.
The plant is well equipped with
modern improvements, and when full
ly equipped employs about so per-
eons. This has been hard to obtain
this season, and up to the present
not enough help has been secured to
run the factory to its full capacity.

Soldier Preacher
Told OF Trench Life

A large audience listened to the alb
soIblngly interesting tale at the Naz-
creme camp meeting tent that former
Private Frank c. Sutherland related
OF going over the top at the battle
Of Lens last summer when he receiv-
ed wounds that incapacitated him
for service. This story was particu-
larly interesting, as 1t unfolded many
personal touches OF trench life that
only a man who has lived through
the terrible experience of being unde:
fire can impart to those who are 50
far away from the war zone.
Mr.. Sutherland is a Canadian.
When the war broke out in 1914 and
az Canada was aflame with patrio-
t;sm, he was a student of a theologi-
cal school in the east. AS his class
mates were enlisting rapidly, Mr..
Sutherland also sought place in the
service of his country, but was re-
Jected on account of being much un-
dersized. After coming to British
Columbia he discovered a regiment
that met with his requirements, and
was received with open arms by the
Canadian "Eantams," regiment
maze up of men who were rejected
on account OF being too short in
stature.
On arriving at the front Mr.. Suth-
erland was chosen as a stretcher
bearer and his position was one of
the most hazardous in the service.
IN the battle around Lens he receiv-
ed a wound that took him from the
field with a paralyzed limb and was
invalided home.
During his service in the army he
endeavored to carry the gospel mes
sage to the boys at the front, whose
reeds for enlightenment were felt by
him to be great. In this manner he
carried on the great work for which
he had been fitting himself before
the outbreak of the war, and was
able to bring comfort to many boys
during their terrifying moments
when the shells of the enemy were
bursting near.
Since returning home he will con.
Ilnue in this service and will tell
something of the needs of the boys
at the front to those who know so
little of their lives, and thus open
the way to presenting the consola-
tions of religion to the soldier in his
hour of greatest need.

fer, single handed.
Led by an Alpine guide they scale

dangling thousands of feet over gap
ing space, these scenes are the most
inspiring and thrilling war views ever
taken, and have been preserved in
the archives at Rome by the Italian
government. Maciste carries a five
hundred pound gun carriage on the
entire journey. The heights gained,
q battle follows. Maciste rescues
the old counts nephew. In the castle
