At Duron Tchida's conferences with the president, it has been learned, the Japanese diplomat agrcct that bis country would cease all ef forts to got a coaling station at Cam pos, near Manznnillo; would not seel, to secure a naval base on Magdaleua bay, and would refrain from all far mer euoris 10 colonize (he isthmus of Tuhuantepec, THIS Crater Lake highway and the efforts to build it snniik volumes for the' imblie spirit of Medford. There is probably not another city of its size in the world that has made such a gallant, fight for a highway. Its history is worth while as an inspiration to future efforts. It, more than any other one attempted accomplishment, shows the superior stuff that iMedford is made of the indomitable spirit that creates cities. Jn the summer of 1.007, James i. (larfield, secretary of the interior, was induced to visit Crater Lake. He fell in love with the scenic wonder, but he told the people of Bed ford that the United States government would do nothing to improve the national park until this vast playground of the people was made accessible to the people by highways built by state or county. So in the summer of 11308, K 11. Uarriman, Governor (J. M. Chamberlain and others in the seats of the mighty, were induced to visit the hike, with the result that a con certed effort was undertaken to secure a state highway. Governor Chamberlain appointed a temporary unuer Lake highway commission to arouse interest in the project and to discuss ways and means. Jn the legislative session of 1909, a bill was introduced, calling for an appropriation of $100,000 from the state for the Crater Lake, highway, another $100,000 to be contrib uted by fJacksou and Klamath counties and $50,000 from outside sources. -A trainload of Medford business men des cended upon the state capital, wearing badges and labor ed for the bill. A delegation remained throughout the ent ire session to lobby for it and it passed and a new com mission was named. Then a Salem mossback enjoined the appropriation. The supreme court took a narrow view of the law, and after a year's delay, pronounced the appropriation uncon stitutional. In the meantime, leading lawyers had volun teered in the bill's defense, prominent citizens appeared as witnesses in behalf of the highway and a state-wide agi tation followed. The iMedford Commercial club then undertook to raise funds by popular subscription for the highway's construc tion. Subscriptions were asked of $100 each, payable in two annual installments. Survey of the highway under an engineer allotted by the good roads bureau of the gov ernment was begun. A contract was let for a four per cent grade to replace the almost insurmountable Pumice Hill grade, the worst feature of the present road. Between $25,000 and $30,000 was subscribed to build the highway. About one-tenth was raised in Portland, another tenth in Jackson county outside of iMedford, and the balance in iMedford. On the strength of the effort made, the forestry bureau diverted $5000 to fix up roads in the Crater reserve, and congress appropriated $10,000 ! . - t 1 .

As the subscriptions did not come in fast enough to enable the construction work to bo rushed through to com pletion in time for use of the new road this year, Colonel Prank Kay and the banks of iMedford have given another instance of the iMedford spirit. They advanced $10,000 nec essary cash upon the subscriptions. The county court has assumed charge of the enterprise and will complete this section of the highway, furnishing additional money re quired. When the improvements under way arc completed, it will be far easier to reach Crater Lake than ever before but it is only the beginning of the boulevard. The state must and will build it if the constitution has to bo amended to permit it. And to accomplish this is the work of the future. With it will come the expenditure of mil lions by the government in the national park. X . . - I r-. - iiK iTfirlAv srcl Saturday Saturday 1 Mar.24 SURPRISE SALE Mar.25 :: Treaty Tei-mlnuleri.
