FORMER SENATOR
GARLAND IN CITY
Likes Grants Pass and Our Auto
Park. but "DctOnr'' Gets Him
In Trouble at Saginaw

Samuel II. Garland and family
arrived In the city yesterday and last
night camped In the Grants Pass
auto park. Mr.. Garland was former
| ly state senator OF Linn county. He
has not been In the best OF health
lately and viii spend a few weeks In
Callforla, his family intending TO
spend tho winter at Los Angeles or
San diego.
Mr.. Garland speaks highly OF the
fine auto park at this place and says
some OF the members OF the civic
improvement club who we're work
Ing at the park last evening showed
him avery courtesy He says they
made him feel at home" and as a
result he has kindly feeling In his
heart for our cIty-but he has kick

pened 10 Mr.. Garland and family at
Saginaw. near Cottage Grove;
Workmen we're busy grading the
highway. There was a detour, but
no sign marked the way and the
Garland car and another automobil-
ist after driving ahead for some dis
tance. found themselves In "pock-
et." and only got ont OF fsthelr pre-
dicament by some hard maneuyer-
Ing. Mr.. Garland says he tried to
get some information from the work
men, but they gave him little notice
and the language OF the man who did
finally decide TO talk with the tour
lists was abusive and not what
should. have been said In the pres
ence OF a mans family.
Not all contractors and their fore
men are so discourteous. says Mr..
Garland. but he is OF the opinion
that most OF them could make II
much more pleasant for tourists
without dlscommoding themselves in
the least, by putting up proper de-
toar signs and giving information
when questioned about the roads.
"Workmen should remember" ="
says Mr. Garland, that n II were
not for the tourists and heavy auto
mobile traffic. these fine roads
through Oregon would not now be
under construction.
The word 'detour" certainly
strikes terror in the heart OF the
average tourist, but present road
conditions are something that must
be endured until the highway is fin
ished.

WARSH|PS TIED Up
FOR LACK OF SAILORS

New York. Sept. 25.-Eleven Unit
ed States war vessels are tied up at
the New York navy yard without
crews sufficiently large to man them.
1t was said today that as result OF
the shortage of enlisted men and the
possibility OF many designations
among the officers the annual fall
and winter maneuvers of the Atlantic
fleet may have to be abandoned.
The destroyers have been the
hardest hit by the discharge Of men
enlisted for the period OF the war.
A similar condition is said to ex-
list in the Pacific fleet. and the naval
authorities are greatly worried by
the situation Of big navy and no
one to operate it. 1T is estimated
that fully one-half Of the navy's war
efficiency has been destroyed.
