Harding May Sell
Famous Front Porch
President-EleCt Harding May Sell Fa-
nous Marion Home and Also Home
on Wyoming Avenue, Washington,
and Buy New Home on Pennsyl.
vania Avenue Instead.

MARION, o., Jan. Strange feet
may tread the famous front porch at
$50 Mount Vernon avenue here after
March 4, II present plans of the Har-
dings are carried out.
Having engaged home on Pennsyl-
yania avenue in Washington for the
next four years, they hope to dispose
of their home in Marion and the brick
house on Wyoming avenue in Wash
ington, where Han ding lived during
his term in the senate.
President-Elect Harding. however,
has no intention OF selling the Marion
Star. as this little newspaper made
him several times his senate salary
last year. In fact he Is planning to
erect large, modern plant in the
near future.
The Harding home In Marion prob
ably will either be leased or sold in
the next few weeks. The house was
shut up for six years while the Har-
dings were in Washington. News
papers were put up in the windows.
the house went unpalnted. and tall
weeds grew in the frant yard, where
thousands gathered around the front
porch last fall. Senator Harding had
to dig up several hundred dollars to
put II in condition for occupancy dur
ing the campaign. A shortage of
housing in Marion and reluctance to
allow so much money to remain tied
up in an empty dwelling have prompt
ed Mrs. Harding to cast about for a
way TO realize on the investment. But
Senator Harding. and his wife, too,
hold the place in a deep sentimental
regard, and may at the last minute
decide to keep It for the memories of
the presidential campaign.
An ex-senator. who probably will
be in the Harding cabinet. has al.
ready expressed a desire to purchase
the Washington home. and it prob
ably will be disposed Of. furniture
and all. to him.

foregoing road work the state has
almost finished paving the Pacific
highway, the county being the first
outside of Multnomah to have the
work completed. Cooperation on a
$3.50 basis with the state has been
consumated whereby a road is being
constructed over the Green Springs
road to the klamath county line, the
maximum grade being per cent;
this will open up road for the bene-
fit of all the valley from Il CONNER
cial standpoint and will be equally
beneficial as an outlet for Klamath
County. The estimated cost to
complete the grade and surface mot

county has been able to proceed with
its portion on this project by the
state advancing the county's share
of the expenditure, same to be re-
funded to the State out of the pend
ing bond issue.
Another project OF much impor-
tance to the County is the Crater
Lake highway The State Highway
Commission have let contracts to
grade the road from Cincaide's, near
Eagle Point, to Trail, also contracts
have been let for the bridges which
are to be of concrete and steel and
as soon as the grading and bridges
are finished it is on the program to
let the contract for matchmaking,
When that is done there will be a
stretch of road from Nledford to
Trail, % miles, about ready for
pavement. The Crater Lake High
way has been designated as a Post
Road which allows the county CO.
operation with the U. ). Government
and the State of Oregon, the county
being required to pay twenty-five per
cent of the cost of the road. The
contracts mentioned with reference
to this project will cost the county

estimated yardage and material
Under the bond issue there is $780,

The marriage of William H. Sans
and Miss Agnes McAllister, two well
known young people of this city,
occurred last evening. The ceremony
took place at tho Methodist parson-
age, Rev. Charles A. Edwards read
ing the service. The event was a
quiet one, the young couple being un-
attended. Both these young people
have host of friends In this city.
Mr. Sans is the son OF Mr.. and Mrs.
c. Il. Sans Of Helman street, and
is one of the rising young men of
Ashland. He is an ex-service man,
serving with the 69th regiment in

strip on the mountain have been stor-
ed in the Smith livery barn, which
the company has procured for this
service. Only memory hangs
around that scene so replete with
activity during the past summer,
which is all that is left to show what
was once bustling hive Of industry
during the highway construction out
OF Ashland. The plant on the noun
tain is closed down for the winter
and is left in the care OF a watch
man, to be opened when good weather
allows for the resumption Of road
building at that point.
The completion of the Pacific high
way out from Ashland removes a
number of families who have been
identified with the city's enterprises
during their tentative residence here,
and more will be going shortly. j.
NJ. Baker, the crusher foreman, has
already moved his family to Port
land after being an Ashland resident
for the past year. William A. Hines,
paving foreman, finished his work
here this week and left for his home
in Dallas. d. Concer, grade foreman
on the hill, has gone TO his home in
CAROLS, Wash. George F. Osborne,
plant foreman, is still in charge Of
the work here, but when this is COM
pleted will leave for the north
Many of the truckmen have already
departed for Portland A few will
remain in Ashland for the winter,
pending the completion Of the paw
ing in the spring. This work will
not require the large force that has
been sustained during the past year
The paving of this stretch of the
Pacific highway has been of great H.
nanclal benefit directly to Ashland.
A payroll of from $4,000 to S25, 900
a month has been carried by the con
struction company, and upwards of
$4,000 of supplies were purchased
monthly. Aside from this factor 2
large number of people have been
making their home in Ashland during
the construction of the highway. ad-
ding materially to the welfare of the
city. The large crews of men who
have been employed on the construc-
tion have been associated more or less
with Ashland, coming in for week
end sojourns and taking part in the
many interests of the city. Many
have also held rooms in the city, con-
tributing extensively in this manner
to the city's financial welfare. The
removal of this enterprise will be
greatly felt in Ashland.

SHORT STRETCH OF PAVING

This week sees the dismantling Of
tho hot stuff plant in the valley
east OF Ashland used by the Oskar
Huber construction company in max
ing the pavement for the Pacific
highway, which this company has
been building from the city limits TO
the California state line during the
past two years. The lower end OF
the Ashland contract has been vir-
tually completed. and only about 4
mile and a half is yet to be paved on
the mountains. This could not be
finished in the fall on account OF
winter setting in, SO work on It Will
be taken up as early as possible next
spring.
Already the crusher and machinery
of the lower plant have been shipped
away, and the stores and equipment
that will be used for completing the

Playing Managers
Are Coming Back
The Popularity of Playing Managers
Is Again Rising-Ty Cobb Now
Joins the Slim Ranks OF the Play
ing Managers - Will Experiment
Next Season With Detroit Tigers.

NEW YORK, Jan. Playing man
ayers, after having become almost
extinct in baseball, are returning to
favor.
Bench managers were Just as rare
in the old days as the active field
leaders are today until the belief
spread among club owners that the
worry and troubles of a manager
were too much for a player.
When Lee Fohl resigned late in the
1919 race, James C. Dunn, owner Of
the Cleveland Indians, made Iris
Speaker, one of the greatest out
fielders in the game, his manager.
Experts predicted the decline Of
Speaker as star when he took upon
himself the burden of management.
But last season he not only played
one of the greatest seasons OF his
career but he took his club over a
bump filled season through bump
filled worlds series to the champion
ship.
Ty Cobb now Joins the slim ranks
OF playing managers. His expert
ment with the Detroit Tigers will be
one of the features of the coming
season.
Cobb's game fell off some last sea-
son and he had to finish below the
top of the batting pile for the second
time in fourteen years.
William Baker. owner of the Phila-
delphia Nationals, would have liked
to have had playing manager to
succeed Cavvy Cravath, who got in
only few games last season as a
pinch hitter
Harry Hooper, the star outfielder
of the Boston Red SOx, was the choice
of the Hub fans to succeed Ed Bar
row as manager and Owner Frazee
considered him for some time before
he secured Hug Duffy.
Rabbit Maranville, the diminutive
star shortstop of the Boston Braves,
believes that the day will come when
all the teams will be led by playing
manager again.
The Rabbit admits, however, that
he isn't ready to take chance on
all executive job.
The magnates are not opposed to
playing managers, in fact they ap'
prove OF them because 1t is money
saving proposition-killing two birds
with the same stone, as 1t were.

been raised over previous years, say
1919, the year before the present
County Court took office, as follows.
The county tax was raised mills

Quite an increase in the levy for
State and County tax is necessary
for 1921 expenditures, for the reason
that a change in the law requires Il
larger school and high-school levy.
and the state tax has been increas-
ed from s129,0OO.OO for 1920 to
s270, 100000 for 1921. The General
Road tax has been decreased s. of a
mill below last year, while the Mar.
ket road tax has been increased s. of
a mill.
During the past year the Bank of
Jacksonville failed and at the time
there was on deposit in the bank
over $1O7, 100000 OF cOunty's money.
On account of the tangled affairs OF
the bank the county has no informa-
ton as to the amount of assests. il
and there will be for the creditors,
SO are not able to state as to the
likely amount that will be returned
to the county. However the county
claims that there has been received
by the county, OH account OF securi-
ties and bonds to date $31 10000
which has helped to reduce the orig
inal amount 20 per cent.
With assurances for the year 1921
OF 81 900, 10000 road building, most.
ly outside money; prospects OF 49,
900, 100000 irrigation ditch construc-
tiOn and the building OF permanent

ty feels that there are many good
things in store for Jackson county
during the coming new year.

There seems to be diversity as
to whether or not enough rain has
fallen this winter to make the ground
sufficiently wet. One man, 1t is stat

depth OF l2 inches. Another claims
he penetrated go inches before he
found dry ground, while third says
he dug four feet and found the rain
had soaked in as far as he dug, and
he could see no dry ground at any
depth. The fact that the streams
are rising greatly after each rain
indicates that the ground has all the
moisture 1t can hold, and that the
surplus is running off into the rivers
