Gold Hill Boy is
Decorated in War

Corporal William Dewey Heron OF
Gold Hill, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Heron, has returned from France
with the decoration of croix de
guesse with a palm leaf, which was
presented to him in recognition Of
his heroic conduct on the battlefield
at Chateau Thierry. This young man
was a member of the famous Fifth
marines regiment for 20 months,
which as he remembers 1t had rs per
cent of its members killed at Chateau
Theirry, and most of the remaining
alive were wounded. Out of his COM
pany of about 200 men, all but 16
were killed.
The deed of heroism for which he
was decorated was when he with six
others went after German machine
gun nest. The seven American sol
diers circled about to the rear of the
Germans and charged them with
hand grenades, exterminating the
Germans and capturing the machine
gun. During the attack five of the
seven were either killed or wounded
After Corporal Heron and one
other man reached their own lines
unscathed and turned over the cap
tured gun. they learned that the
stretcher bearers had refused to go
out to the location Of the captured
gun nest and bring in the wounded
marines Heron and one other man
Immediately volunteered to go out
after their wounded comrades. They
advanced with bullets raining around
them and found two of the marines |
still alive, and brought them safely
back into their own lines.

Red Rupert Seen
On Way to South

That Red" Rupert, former Port
land athlete and policeman, now
fugitive from the penitentiary, since
his escape from the Gold Hill lime
quarry last Sunday, is fastening thru
California to cross the Mexican bor'
der, or with the intention OF secur-
ing passage to South America, is the
belief of Warden Stevens, who has
received reports that the convict has
been seen 80 miles south Of the Ore
gon-C California boundary. That he
has assistance In making his escape
which apparently had been pre-ar-
ranged, is now a virtual certainty.
Rupert was seen at Gazelle, Cal,
early Tuesday morning and boarded
southbound train at that place at
about 4 O'Clock in the morning The
Identification is said to have been
without question, and also the in
formation that ne took a train at Ca
zelle. The authorities are practical
ly assured that an automobile with a
driver awaited him at some pre-ar
ranged meeting place near Gold Hill
when he escaped Sunday and that he
was hastened toward the California
l:Le.
at Gazelle he bought a soft black
hat at a store and from the railroad
fireman purchased pair Of overalls
and gray flannel shirt
William Bryon. OF Portland, a gov
eminent secrc. agent, and specia
Agent Catouri. of the Southern Pa
cific company, are working with the
California officers in an effort to
head Rupert off before he leaves that
state.
The supposition IS that Rupert Is
hurrying to get out OF the United
States to escape the federal charge
that has been lodged against him be-
cause of his theft of Liberty bonds.
He had a right to go before. the Ore
gon parole board this month with an
application for a parole because his
minimum sentence has expired. nut
did not do this because lie feared
that the federal charges would bring
a sentence to the government prison

ness by State Highway Commission
er r. A. Booth, the chief guest and
speaker at the three-city banquet

showed that the interests of the COM

roads projects, and that they are
thoroly awake to the fact that this
movement means the salvation OF
the Rogue River valley in opening up
the vast resources in this section.
The Hotel Medford was the scene

er, and Mayor Gates of Medford wei

the Grants Pass Commercial club
and vice president of the state Cham
be. of Commerce, served as toast

bringing a message from the people
of klamath county stating that they
would join with Jackson county in
making the Green Spring mountain
highway, and to Josephine county
the message was sent that Klamath
would join them at Waldo. He then
dilated on the wonderful progress

all over the state, and called Jackson
county the pioneer in this movement
in Oregon. !

The question of the barrier which
the peace conference intends to erect

We are all immensely elated over
the way the state highway depart
ment is setting about II to ensure
the early completion Of the Pacific
highway thru Jackson county, but I
wonder how many OF our people in
the Rogue river valley realize the
possibilities OF the projected new
highway across the Cascades over the
Green Spring pass from this valley
into the great Klamath basin. All
Southern Oregon, believe has cause
to rejoice over the fact that this i'm
portant project has been approved
by the state highway department In
cooperation with the county courts
Of klamath and Jackson counties.
and that contract for construction OF
the first unit is soon to be let.
Location survey from the Pacific
highway junction to Jenny creek was
completed last fall by Engineer Scott
of the state highway commission.
The rout eastward from Jenny creek
is comparatively simple matter Of
engineering. A maximum grade Of
six per cent was obtained in the new
location survey over the mountain as
against grades up to 20 per cent ON
the present road The new location
is also largely along sunny slopes and
favorable in other ways.
From the Pacific highway junction
seven miles south of Ashland the dis
tance to klamath Falls is a little
over so miles. With this new road

CHARMING BILLIE BURKE IS POPULAR WITH PUBLIC.

There are few motion picture ac tresses who are more delightful in their portrayals than is Billie Burke, the charming and magnetic Para mount star, who is appearing in Lets Get a Divorce" her latest Paramount vehicle just released, to be seen at the Coliseum Theatre to- night, Friday and Saturday matinee
 Let's Get Divorce" is based upon Victorien Sardou's~, "Divorcons,' and was adapted for the screen by Anita Loos and John Emerson. The scenes are laid in France, many of them oc' curing in convent of which Cyp- rienne Marcey, the role assumed by Miss Burke, is1an inmate. Of an un usually romantic turn of mind, Cyp rienne finds her convent life more or less irksome, and indulges in numerous flirtations, which cause the Mother Superior grave concern
 When Henri dc Prunelles, a stu dent and writer, announces to the Mother Superior that he desires Cyp rienne for his wife, she heaves sigh of relief and willingly assists Henri in prevailing upon Cyprienne to take part in a faked-up elopement. Their marriage follows and for a time Cyprienne is quite happy, but find ing her husband has lapscd into the habit of working instead of devoting all his time to her, she strikes up a irritation with an officer of the For estry Service, and. convinced that she loves him, begs her husband to give her a divorce. f,t.
 With this as a. basis of the story it's development is logical and cap tivating.

NEW YORK, June 1,-Frazier Hunt, in special cable to the Her aid, quotes Rikov,s the new big man of Russia, as saying: With the signing of the peace Treaty Soviet Russia will be quite willing to set tie with the foreign-owned factories that were nationalized. Foreign capital and foreign business will be welcomed, and all that we will in sist on is that it be under the gen eral supervision of the Government. We will even permit foreign retail stores, handling foreign-made goods, to reopen" Rikov, true Russian, and son of peasant, is today one of the hopes of the country. His position as head of the supreme council of national economy, which has charge of all production and distribution in Russia makes him tremendously important. Russia IS promising not only to pay her na- tional debts, but her private debts as well. /
 Regarding the establishment Of foreign n-owned factories, Rikov men toned the chemical works, paper mills, shops to produce machinery and all branches of the motor in dustry. In order to reopen the textile mills at least 5,00O,0Qo pounds of American or Egyptian cotton are desperately needed to mix with Turkcstan cotton.

NEGOTIATIONS
SUSPENDED
And German Commission Is
Said to Have Left
Spa
CAUSE FOR MOVE
is NOT DIVULGED
1t Is Probable There Is Only
a Temporary Ces-
sation

Geneva, Feb. 26.-This evenings
Swiss newspapers print Berlin dispatch
stating that, owing to the sudden sus-
pension Of armistice negotiations the
German commission left Spa this morn
ing for Berlin. The reason for the re.
ported suspension is not given. General
Ludendorf is expected to arrive in Ber-
lin tomorrow and Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg viii go there shortly.
Negotiations between allied and Ger
man financial, economic and military
missions have been in progress at Spa
for some time, but there has been no in
timation from allied sources that any
thing in the nature of a crisis had de
veloped there. In the absence of definite
information, it would seem probable that
the meetings, if they have been broken
as reported, have been suspended only
temporarily. On Feb. IA. Marshal Foch
presented to the German armistice com
mission at Treyes the provisions for an
extension of the armistice between the
allies and Germany. These provisions
he received from the supreme council OF
the peace conference. They We're accept.
ed by the Germans, after being referred
to the national assembly at Wcimar, and
were signed by the German delegates on
the evening Of Feb. Ii,
