1925 EXPOSITION
WITHOUT TAX Is
SHELDON'S VIEWS

That, In all probability, there will
be an exposition In Portland in 1925,
but that the plan for financing the
same will not be determined upon
until after careful survey of the
sentiment over the state has been
made and such plan made to COM
port with the sentiment found is the
report brought from Portland by
Ben c. Sheldon, of Medford.
81 was invited to a meeting of the
1925 exposition committee held last
week in Portland" said Mr.. Sheldon
The situation disclosed Is apout as
follows. The warm advocates of the
plan, a fine body OF progressive. pub
lie spirited men, have awakened to
the fact that they had not appreci-
ated the feeling out over the state,
due to the heavy tax burden the peo-
pie are carrying. Their plea was
that the Legislature would put the
matter up to the people and then a
campaign could be made which
would convince the people to sup
port the fair. But they now see
their mistake; see how very heavy
the tax burdens are, and are some
what disposed to blame themselves
for making mistage at the leglsla- |
ture rather than to blame those who
opposed he fair.
Now they say that, having gone
as far as they have, the exposition
must be carried out, but that they
Will not ask the state to cooperate
unless some plan can be worked out,

which will have the cooperation of
the outlying sections. The forming
of this plan is left until after a
canvass of the state has
been made,
IL feel that an exposition will be
held; but that the action Of the leg
slature has prevented the mistake
being made Of trying to put the plan
across through taxing the people of
he state.
This affair has brought sharply
o the minds OF the men In public life
n Oregon, the necessity of giving
earnest and heroic attention to the

JACKSON COUNTY
SCHOOL DAY TO
BE INAUGURATED
By GEO. A. BRISCOE

This year the county school super
lntendent will depart from the old
custom Of giving out eighth grade
diplomas in January and June, and
institute Jackson county school day.
At that time all the pupils who
have finished the eighth grade dur
ing the school year Of 1922, will
meet with their friends at Ashland,
this year, and receive their eighth
grade certificates.
The purpose Is TO make this a
great day. A good program of mu-
sic will be given, a speaker of more
than local reputation will make the
address, and some of the children
themselves will take part in the ex-
ercises.
In addition to the graduating ex-
ercises, which will be but a part of
the days program, there will be
drills, songs, pageants and athletic
performances And it is hoped that
neither the last nor the least of this
initial Jackson county school day
will be the basket dinner at the noon
hour This will be in beautiful Lii
thia park.
Everybody interested in the well
fare Of the schools OF Jackson county
Is urged to be present that day The
Chautauqua building will provide
room for all during the speaking and
formal exercises. The park will am
ply and pleasantly care for the peo-
pie at the noon hour and during the
athletic and soUlal events.
So all pupils who have finished
the eighth grade In January will not
get their diplomas until June, 1922,
when they with all those pupils fin
ishing at that time, will meet with
their parents and friends for a good
day in Ashland.
Let's all 'get ready for this day !
and make 1t red letter one for
Jackson county schools and people,

all to be In the evening. There are
two accredited sewing teachers, one
being Mrs. X. Huntsberry, of Ash
land, and the other being Mrs. NJ.
j. Wade, of Medford. Pupils have
the privilege of choosing the teach
er under whom they wish lnstruc-
tion. and five have enrolled for work
under Mrs. Wade, and as soon as
this number reaches 12, the class
will start.
These classes provide an unusual
opportunity for women who wish to
learn sewing. The students pay only
half the fee, the United States gov
ernment paying the other half
thereby enabling women to receive
valuable instruction for a small fee.
Those who have never sewed, can
learn from the beginning. while 9TH
ers may take advanced work. The
smith-Hughes people, however, are
especially anxious to have more be-
ginner classes.
There are only three towns in Ore
gon which have the advantages of
this work, and Ashland was the town
which started II.

OREGON TO GET
$1,875,044 FOR
FOREST ROADS

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. A.
Fifteen millions have been appropri
.ated by the secretary OF agriculture
among the 27 states, Alaska and
Porto Rico in which national forests
are located for the construction oi
roads and trails.
or this amount Oregon will re.
ceive $1,S75,644, Washington will
receive $l.311, ,022, and Alaska fs al
dotted $l,020.49S. In totals allowed
for all national forest states, Oregon
ranks third, Washington fifth and
Alaska is in seventh place; Idaho
leading, with California second and
Montana and Colorado In fourth and
sixth places.
or this sum s9,500,OOO known as
the national forest highway fund.-"
is set aside for roads of primary i'm
portance to states, counties and ma
tional forest communities; $5.500,-
900 constituting the national forest
development fund will be used for
the construction of roads and trails
needed for the administration and
utilization of the forests themselves.
These appropriations will mean the
development of roads and trails
throughout the forests which will
aid materially in fire protection.
In the past, construction of many
urgently needed forest roads in Ore
gon. Washington and Alaska has
been deferred for lack of sufficient
funds. Much OF this work can now
go forward. The forest service esti-
mates that eventually over $780,
100000 will be required to supply a
thoroughly adequate system Of trans
pOrtation throughout the 156,000,-
900 acres within the national for
ests.

ETNA MILLS GIRLS DEFEATED
Locals Win 20 TO 37-H. =. Boys
Beat Alumni ~ to 83

The local high school girls played
the Etna Mills, Calf. girls team at
the high school gymnasium last
night. and while the score was tied
at the end OF the first half, the locals
did some good team work soon after
the beginning OF the second half and
ran the score to a safe place. never
being in any particular danger
thereafter. They won by the score of
81 to 20.
The high school team and the al
umni played what proved to be fast
game. and one that should prove OF
value to the high school team. The
alumni played hard game, and
with a little more practice would
have carried away the large end OF
the score. The high school showed
to much better advantage in practice
than the alumni. but seemed unable
TO get by the alumni with advantage
with their plays. The final score was
Al to 32 in favor Of the high school.
