IDEAL FUTURE ROAD
TO BE DEVELOPED

Seven years ago the idea of {
transcontinental highway connect
ing New York with San Francisco
improved throughout its length
and forming a backbone for t
great national system of arteria
roads, was only dream in the
minds of a few. Who will deny
today that the accomplishment OF
this dream of a great memorial
route stretching from ocean to
ccean-the Lincoll highways
absolutely assured of early reali.
zation?
The opening up Of main line
interstate highway from the At
lantic to the Pacific Is an accom-
plished fact Its continued i'm
proyement to higher and higher
standards is certain. As a mem
orial road 1t is on the map OF the
United States no less certainly
than the Mississippi river
In 1914, one year after the
proclamation of the Lincoln high
way, DR.. Frank Chase, the we'll
known publicist of New York,
wrote in his syndicated publica-
tions: "The Lincoln highway is
original. 1t breathes the TWEEN
tieth century. II is an inspira-
tion. In centuries to come it will
be adorned as was the Appian
Way with landmarks, statuary,
homes, inns, a vast chain of the
splendid marks OF men. 1t will
be the path of progress, the river
course of humanity, part of the
golden girdle of the earth.
When it is completed, along it
the traveller can pass over a per-
feet rOadbed under Overarching
trees, by beautiful temples,
fountains, arches and statues,
across the plains, by the side Of
winding streams, along great riv-
ers, over artistic bridges, through
mountain passes, deserts and
green valleys, from ocean to
ocean"
Crane, the editor, the econo-
mist, the writer, caught and ex-
pressed then to his audience Of
100000 readers. the final idea
in the minds of the men who pro-
NOTED the Lincoln highway pro-
ject.
The past seven wears have been
filled with endeayor toward that
first end which is so nearly ac-
complished-the securing OF ma
tional interest and attention and
OF official cooperation 10 the end
of providing an open road from
coast to coast.
Now, it is not too much of Il
dream to look ahead twenty years
and to provide on the Lincoln way
a section OF road presenting in
tangible form the crystalized
opinion of our foremost highway
a section which will
present no compromise with the
best which expert consideration
is wise and practical
and adequate and safe.
A practical ideal is now to be
on the Lincoln way.

Cattle Auction
Sale, Sept. IS

A committee appointed by the
cattlemen at a recent meeting al
Medford to arrange for the hold
ing series OF cattle auction sales
of beef cattle in Jackson county
this fall have decided to hold the
first sale OH Wednesday, Septem
ber Is.
j. j. Murphy reported that he
had talked with the majority of
cattlemen running cattle on Keen
Creek and Dead Indian ranges, and
that approximately 500 head had
been pledged for this sale. It
now appears that all the cattle
men in this section will hold their
cattle until this day, which will
insure about 1900 head OF beef
cattle for this sale.
These cattle are some of the
best in the county and usually
bring from lac to &c above the
other cattle in the county. Some
OF the largest herds in the county
Craze on these ranges and the re-
port comes from this section that
the cattle are fatter than they
have been any time during the
past ten years, making an ideal
time to try out this new method
Of marketing cattle.
Considerable interest is being
aroused all over the county in re-
gard to these proposed sales. J
]. Murphy of Ashland, +. c. Ham
lltOn of Medford, X. d. Flaherty
of Medford, and Howard May
field OF Central Point left this
morning to attend two sales in
horthert California, on the first
OF September and the other on the
second, They are attending these
sales to learn as much as posi-
hle about how they are being
conducted in northern California
so that they will he able to carry
on the local sale without any
trouble.
A detailed account OF these
sales will appear in the Tidings
the latter part of this week, which
will include how the sales were
conducted, the number OF cattle
sold, the price received, number
OF buyers present, etc. Several
packing companies have already
agreed to send buyers to the sales
here on the 18th. Any one having
cattle in the Keen Greek or Dead
Indian countries and wish to sell
their cattle in this sale should get
in touch with Mr.. Murphy of Ash
land or X. ID. Flaherty. manager
of the Farm Bureau Exchange q;
Some OF the main points in ia
ror of the establishment of this
system is that the cattle will be
sold at home and the owner will
have one bid offered on his cat
tie. If he isn't offered what they
are worth, he is not compelled to-
sell them. If he gets what they are
worth, he sees them sold and
weighed and takes his money
while the buyer takes the cattle.
1t is expected that nearly every
in the county will be
present at this sale Watch the
rldings for further articles.

NEW YORK-Winter coats are
now on display in many Fifth
Avenue shops, and although few
women are buying them, hordes
of iemininity besiege the clerks
to show these winter models, in
order that they may know how
far behind the times their own
1920 model is.
The models upon exhibition
show four distinct types OF winter
wrap, although all the new sea
son coats are marked by lOoseness
and general freedom. The Red
ingote seems to be leading in pop
ularity. This is "A full-length
model with semi-fitted back,
straight and full front, with cord
irgs, shirrings, or shocking at the
normal waistline. 1t is this model
that is most like a bona-fide coat
and not the dOlman- wrap, as are
mGst of the winter outer wraps.
The Redingote may have Il fitted
sleeve or the loose kimonl sleeve,
and it is the latter that is most
frequently seen.
Then there is the flared or bar
rel-skirted coat, the coat cut cir
cular like a cape, with full,
straight back and front, and belt
at low waistline, and the sack
coat, loose and beltless, and per-
fectly straight from shoulder to
hem. The raglan sleeves of all
these models are heavily embroid-
cred with gay designs in wool or
metallic threads. Braid is copi-
ously used in swirling, intricate
designs. Collars are almost as di-
rcrsified as the wraps themselves,
although preference is shown the
extremely high directoire collar.
Shawl and funnel collars are
shown on few models.
Most of the winter wraps are
skirt length. although some seven
eigth length models are shown. !
Wraps show the same Irregular
ity Of hem as do skirts and hat
brlms. It is considered very chic
iol one side OF a coat to hang
several inches father
than the opposite side, Deep
capes, sometimes as many
as three or four. are another verV
new feature, and these capes Of
-en terminate in a rolling collar

Hood" model is shown made of
crimson. Although Sc
