ILG MYSTERY IS STILL UNSOLVED Pretty San Francisco Girl Is Still Missing Only Theories So Far Have Developed No Progress Is Made by Police. Medford has shown the spirit which cannot he daunted by obstacles and obstruction. Defeated by a Supreme Court decision in its efforts to induce the state to build n road to Crater Lake which would open that grcut natural wonder to tho sightseer, the town raised n fund of t2.'5,OiJO by subscription mid used it in changing the worst piece of rond on the route to the lake into the best piece of road in Oregon. The Med ford Mail Tribune boasts of it with just pride in these words: TIiIh Mrttclt of lilcliwny Is our road. We, (he progreioilvc proplo of Jncknon Count)' liulll II. Therefore? wo am proud of It. Tlio road Is two and seven-ti-nlliH miles In length and has eliminated the crrAtmt obatnclo to Crater trfiko travi-l, J'mnlcn HIM. A wide, iimooth boulevard of easy grado has bcerf cut through thn nolld rock of a precipitous mountain sld, replacing an almost Im poHnlhle grndr. In places as great as 3$ per cent, always knro'deep In pumlco dust. , t This section of highway Is only a start towards what will ultimately be tlv flncftt road In America, equal In scctilc effects to any In tho world. It iiliirkn th.' awakening of Oregon to the commercial as well as aesthetic value of llit natural wonders and beauty spots an awakening pioneered by Medford. Hut niori) than all IIiIk, thla bit of highway In the best fxample of the Medford aplrlt tho spirit that known no obstacle to balk Its creative energy that pulls unit edly for the common good. The Medford spirit has followed up the construction of this road by establishing an nuto stage line to the lukc, whereby any person desirous of seeing Oregon's greatest natural wonder may reach it in speed and comfort. An nutoraobile has already traveled the new road to tho rim of the crater. With the continuation of the road work it will be come more accessible every year to the tourist. A great electric plant of 2.'),000 horsepower is being erected by Colonel Frank II. Ray on the Rogue river nnd will furnish light and power to all the Roguo Valley towns and to Crater Lake park as well. With hotel and traveling con veniences secured tho lake will soon be as strong an attraction as Yel lowstone park mid the Grand Canyon. The completion of the modern highway might be hastened by the employment of convicts by the state. It is a matter of interest and pride to the whole state to build this road. Medford has done her part; let the tntc help in this wuy if no other method is open. Editorial in Portland Orcgoninn.

"I have given no consideration whatever to the possibility of calling a special ses sion of the legislature for the pur pose of good roads legislation," said Governor West this morning, "nnd up to tho present time nothing of this character has been brought to my at tention. Unless fcomo one takes ac tion along this line, I will call no spe cial session, but if it is presented to me I will, of course, consider it, nnd possibly may cull a special ses sion." The fact that Governor West would consider, perhaps favorably, an extra session for good roads legislation, is gratifying news to the good roads enthusiasts. Waiting two full years before any state legislation can be enacted does not appeal to that class of workers who liavo felt that good highways nro tho first duty of a state inviting development nnd immigra tion. Defeat of tho bills presented last winter has been lamented by these workers. On every hand it is conceded that tho road condition in Oregon is bad. It is generally main tained by the good roads enthusiasts that the present county nnd precinct plan is not producing very marked results, nnd would not bo compatible with any general schemo for broad state highway development. Medford started tho movement for a special session. Since- then it has been communicated to other comuior cml organizations. It is known that failure of tho state to do anything in promoting good highways is a dis appointment to tho railway magnates who are building into different por tions of Oregon wagon ronds. They reoognuo in this typo of work tho AMERICANS IN GRAVE DANGER Situation In Hayti Becomes Most Serious State Department Is Counting On Presence of American Cruisers to Prevent Massacre.

C, July 2L- Reports from Port Au Prince, Ilaytt, that a desperate situation cpnfronts Americans and otherf oreigu residents there nnd that American guns may be needed to save them from murder and pillage, wero confirmed hero today by the state department. Secretary Knox depends on the United States warships to save the lives of Americans, if, as it is report ed, he must do, President Simon sur renders the capital to tho victorious insurgents who aro hotly pressing to attack it from the north. The Petrel, the department says, is already at Hayti, and both tho scout cruiser Chester and the cruiser Des Moines are racing to the imperiled city. The Chester, which was despatched from Long Island sound with orders to steam under forced draft for Uort Au Prince, will arrive Saturday night or Sunday. Tho Des Moines cannot nrrivo until next week. Officials of the state department declared today that they knew noth ing of the yacht America, upon which it was said Amoricans had taken ref fugo nt Cape Haytien. Tho depart ment Teimrts are that anarchy pre vails in Ilayti, and that President Si mon, who is seriously ill, may even bo too weak to flco from the country nnd plans to defend his capital with the remnant of his nrmy which has not deserted to tho revoltuionisists. Should Simon decide to fight it out tho danger to American and foreign residents the, department fears, will bo greatly increased, and it is not im possible that, should tho city be stormed, thoy might bo victims of a general massacre. 10 MAKE FAIR IN OCTOBER A BIG SUCCESS Meeting Is Held and Committees Ap pointed to Dispose of $5000 Capi tal Stock Later the Stockholders Will Be Called and Officers Elected ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION ARE PRESENTEO BY DAVIS Messrs.
