SUMMER CAMPS
COUNTY Y. NJ. G. A.
MAKE BIG SUCCESS

The three-day camps conducted for
the boys Of the county by the Y. M.
c. A. this summer have proved a
fine success. Sixty-one boys and
adult leaders from six different com.
munities of the county have svailed
themselves Of the camping privil-
eges thus offered.
The camps have been so handed
that the three-day outings have been
no expense. The transportation has
been provided, and the boys have
drawn on the home larder for pro-
visions. Hiking, cooking, swimming.
climbing, baseball, yolley ball,
quoits, bible study, campfire stunts,
etc, have made the time all too
short.
One of the features OF the camps
has been the fine spirit of co-opera-
ton and ready response to disci-
pline. Cleanliness. so far as con.
sistent with camp life, liberal use
or soap and water at stated times,
familiarity with the toothbrush, etc.,
nave been encouraged. and II neces-
sary, insisted upon, and net results
discovered at inspection each day.
The boys understand that this is a
regular part Of army discipline. asd
as such, they sort of glory in the
unwonted hardship.
A pleasing feature OF the Rogue
River camp was the swimming In
Little Butte creek, while the much
coveted objective point of the wag-
ner camp was the ascent of the butte
itself. From the summit of this
lordly young mountain a fine view
OF the valley was had.
A number of men from Ashland,
Talent, Phoenix and Medford, by
their assistance and use of their au-
toes. as we'll as by their attendance
at the camps. added materially to
their success.

To LAY 70 MILES
PAVING IN STATE
DURING NEXT YEAR

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 19.-From
Portland to Drain there will be hard
surface pavement on the Pacific
highway within a month. The ex-
ception will be the small gap be-
tween Albany and Corvallis which
is county and not a state road.
There will be about seventy miles
of pavement to lay next year and
finish this highway.
At the October meeting OF the
state highway commission the work
of 1922 will be laid out SO that con-
tracts can be awarded this year, en-
abling contractors to assemble their
equipment and start early in the
spring. There is to be special meet
ing of the commission Tuesday how
ever, the purpose being to receive
bids for $l,O00,O0O OF state high
way bonds. There may be one or
two small contracts awarded at this
meeting, but the big program has
been scheduled for the October meet
ing.
The new pavement from Salem
south will be thrown open to traffic
Wednesday, according to Division
Engineer Mcleod, who was in Port
land Saturday. The Corvallis south
job, nine miles of concrete, will be
opened in twenty-eight days. The
pavement job from Monroe is to be
finished at noon today, the only un-
finished piece on this section being
a block in Junction city. The 1872
miles job between Drain and Divide
will be finished this week. From
Goshen to Walker the concrete will
be laid this week, and will be op-
ened about October IS. There is a
good all-rock detour available while
the concrete is being cured. Camas
swale, on the Pacific highway, is not
being touched for the present. II is
a half-mlle gap. There is a gap be-
tween Wilbur and Roseburg and an
other between Myrtle Creek and
Galesyille. but from Galesville to
the California line the highway is
either paved or under contract for
paving.
Owing to the absence Of rains,
which usually interfere with road
work early in September and which
handicapped the building program as
early as August last season, the con-
tractors have been making rapid
strides and the unpsved gaps on the
Pacific highway are becoming few
and far between, With the finishing
OF the various paving jobs now draw
ing to a close. It will release equip
ment and enable contractors to give
attention to the projects up for con
sideration at the October meeting.
