of the new highway from the Muir
ply bridge, on the Applegate river,
to Williams, a distance of 1919
miles, will be undertaken by the
county itself, all bids received
Saturday by the county court hav-
ing been rejected, the court con
cluding to do the work direct with

the other bidder. Woke made a
bid based on the yardage to be
moved, his figures being 80 cents

$3.50 for class two, and $3.50 for
rock. Woke also bid 20 cents
per yard for overhaul. The Med
ford firm bid 81 cents, S1.10 and
S1.75 for the same classes of ex-
cayatiOn, and six cents for over
haul. The latter finn also bulked
its bid at $29,S95.

Tourist travel is commencing to
FOUR into Ashland f:Om both north
and south, despite the stories that
come in of bad roads in some sec
tions OF the Pacific highway. The
road to the south has a fairy good
reputation. 1t is stated that aside
from a section OF 4 few miles on
the Siskiyous that is reported
rough, roads are exceptionally
good all the way down into Cali
fornia.
1t is from the north that tales
of bad roads come. Smiths hill,
10 or IL miles north OF Grants
Pass, seems to hold the palm at
present for being the worst point
on the whole highway. All mo-
torists reaching Smiths hill are
accepting tows there, and thank
fdl to get out of the mud, even
behind a team of horses. Cars that
manage to churn through on their
own power at all other points give
up the ghost on Smiths hill.
At this place the highway is
swamp on both sides Of the sum-
nit. The mud is so bad that cars
not only have to be tOwed up hill,
but down grade on the other side
as well. Two or three farmers
there have gone into the teaming
business and are laying up nice
excess profits for the income tax
collector next year
The sunshiny days of this week.
however. are doing wonders at
drying up the roads, and should
this continue the mud will be
hardened in short time suffi-
ciont to have the roads worked
down and smoothed off. When
this is done, the Pacific highway
will be unsurpassed as a fine au-
tomobile tourist road.

NO COUNTY MONEY
USED IN MEDFORD

Owing to the fact that in the
call for election in the matter OF
the proposed county bon dissue
for 5000 to meet certain state
and federal funds for the improve
ment OF the Ashland-Klamath
Falls, Crater Lake, Applegate and
other roads in this county, the
Crater Lake road improvement
was stated to begin at certain
point on Roosevelt avenue, the
impression was gained by some
that part of the money was to be
spent for improving streets with
in the Medford city limits.
None Spent in Medford
Secretary Mowat of the Ash
land Commercial Club has been
investigating tho matter and
finds that no county money is to
bs expended within the Medford
city limits, the Crater Lake road
improvement to start outside the
city limits of Medford. The fol-
lowing letter explains the matter:
Mr.. Lynn Mowat,
Secretary Chamber of Commerce,
ashland, Oregon.
Dear Lynn:
After having had my attention
called to the publication of the
notice for the one-half million
dollars county bond election, ]
made 1t my business to inquire OF
County Judge Gardner the exact
location where paving on Roose-
Nelt avenue begins for the Crater
Lake highway. Judge Gardner
informs me and the same has been
verified in this office that the
present paving on Roosevelt ave
nue. ends at the city limits. There
will be no money belonging to
the county expended on any high
way OF the city of Medford.
Where county funds used for
the construction of roads are
matched with funds coming from
the state or federal government
the highway commission of the
state or federal government will
not permit the use OF this money
on road highways in the cities Of
larger than $500 inhabitants. This
being policy of the State of Ore
gon Commissioners and of the
federal authorities there need be
no apprehension that funds from
the half million dollar bond issue
will be expended upon any of the
streets OF Medford. 1t is hoped
that you will give this the widest
publicity in order to counteract
any efforts of opposition by un-
fair means to defeat the bond is
sue to be voted upon this month.
Yours very truly,
II. o. FROBACH,
Secretary, Medford Chamber of
Commerce.

With thorough appreciation OF
] the value to the state of trained
agriculturists, versed in modern
methods and with knowledge
OF applied mechanics necessary
to modern farming, the Salvation
Army in its Home Service Pro
gram for Oregon, plans to make
useful farm hands, il not farm
experts, of many neglected and
dependent youngsters. Through
out the state there are always lads
whose ages range from seven and
eight to fifteen years, who will
have no future apart from pov-
orty and comparative ignorance
ana probable criminality. Op-
portunities such as those to be OF
fered by the Industrial and Agri-
cultural school the Salvation Army
plans to establish at North Yam
hill, on the 100 acre farm on which
now stand the buildings of the
Bishop Scott school, will open be
fore these lads a useful life,
Brought up to manhood III
clean surroundings, with daily in
struction in ordinary schooling
and practical instruction and prac'
tice in farming, the youngsters
will not only be saved 'from bad
citizenship but given an honora-
BILE profession or trade with which
to earn their own way as men.
At the Yamhill school, to be
patterned after the famous Lyt-
ton school conducted by the Sal
vation Army in California, both
boys and girls will find all the
essentials OF preparation for life
battle. The girls will be taught
sewing, household duties, cooking,
etc. The boys will be trained in
several trades and in farming,
horticultural and animal husband
ry pursuits and modern farm me-
chanics.
And while their bodies ana
minds are being trained their re-
sponsibilities as citizens and mem
bers of society will not be neg
lected in fact, one Of the strongest
teachings of the Salvation Army
is Americanism. The school IS
non-sectarian.
Through the efforts OF the Sal
yation Army in Portland, several
boys have been taken from up
state Oregon towns and placed
at the California farm school TEN
roTarily until the funds made
available by the financial cam
paign, May 1 to May 10, provide
for the opening OF the Yamhill
school. County advisory boards
il every county in Oregon are
helping the Salvation Army in
this great work with children.
