Campaigners Have Splendid Meeting On Lower Rogue Many Army Men Attend The Meeting. RESIDENTS OF THAT SECTION ARE EAGER FOR INFORMATION Work Of Spreading Gospel Of Bel ter Roads Goes Merrily On. SlnuiluiK m the tonnane of an au tomobile before the postoffiw t Woodville, JuiIro Willinm M. Colrip Thursday nftcrnoon delhored his most telling nddre.ss of the present ramimiRii for better highway lhrouKhout the state. When he had ceased there was not a man in hear ing who soemM to oppose the meas ure. If JudRO Coins: left ny uneon verled, County JAhIko Neil won them over, for the county judge ws-" known to them all and dealt his faet out as man to nmii. A ptodly num ber of residents of Woodville and ranchers from the adjacent country attended the meeting as did a num ber of the veterans who are en camped at Woodville for their an nual reunion. Following the speaking much ef fective work was done by the good roads advocates in personal appeal to the residents of that section. And the most hopeful sign was the fact that they all seemed to welcome in formation in regard to the bond is sue. A canvas of the business men r.t Woodville brought out the fact that the sentiment was about evenly di vided in that section. Those who have opposed it, for the most part, are men who do not understand what the county is trying to do. Uy spreading the gospel of good roads thoroughly, many votes will be se cured for the bond issue winch would otherwise be cast against it. Judge Colvig during his remarks, confined them to a great degree to examples showing benefit to the farming sections, such as Woodville if the bond issue should be carried. He cited the case of W. II. Gore, who was unable to transport his produce to town in winter. lie dwelt upon the character of the advisory board and county court which would have the spending of the money. In short his address was extremely well tak en. County Judge Neil while speaking remained on the sidewalk and dur ing his remarks often stopped to per sonally address some one of his hearers. In this way he got closely in touch with his audience, giving his arguments and facts more weight by reason of a personal appeal. Ed Andrews spoke briefly, answering a number of questions which he invit ed. The good roads meoting for to ni..J, will ho held at Butte Falls. A number of local neople are going to visit the little city among the timber, returning Saturday morning.

Cowles and George Rut who were appointed by the mayor and city council to nsyl City At torney Neff in the premonition of a building code, havo eonipl"ted their labors and Ininsmittod the code with the following leter to Major Canon concerning their work. Medford, Ore., Sept. 1. 1!)U. The Hon. William II. Canon, Mayor of Medford, Oregon. Sir: Earl labt spring, Your Honor delegated to the committed on fire of the city council, the matter of tho drafting of a building oado for the City of Medford, at whieh time I who a pro tem member of the committee, and the preliminary wotk of selecting a suitable code was del egated to Mr. George Butz, aiehi tect, and myself. Your Honor will easily recognize the difficulty in selecting from ilia numerous codes adopted by other cities, one that will be suitable for the City of Medfonl, and will propT- lj- protect life and property, and, at the same time, avoid any injustice to property owners. It will also he admitted that, to draft and adopt a building code that will be satisfactory to all comers, is" an impossibility. Mr. George Butz and the writer procured copies of what is recognized bj the best au thority upon such matters, as good building codes, namely, that of the City of Portland, Oregon; that of Cleveland, Ohio; that of New York City; that of Hoboken, New Jersey; that of Toledo, Ohio. We use the term,' good buildirg code, advisedly, in so far as ty re lates to thoso features which existed in all of these codes, and which in dicated that they were drafted from a central authority, namely, that of tho National Board of Fire Under writers, which constitutes the fire insurance underwriters of the Unit ed States. We found, with a few ex ceptions, that the codes mentioned were drafted, word for word, from that of the National Fire Underwrit ers, known as tho Underwriters' Code. This code, itself, is admitted by the Underwriters to be far from perfect, subject as it is to modifica tions, changed conditions, and in creased hazards of modern building construction, etc It has the advantage, however, of having been drafted by men to whom tho subject of fire protection has been made a lifelong study, men -n the employment of the United Stales government as engineers and the best fire experts in the country. Inasmuch as tho insurance compa nies are obliged to pay the Iohscs, which, in turn, becomo a per capita tax on every man, woman and child in the United States, it can be safely stated that it is free from political consideration. If it favors anybody it favors public protection, and this is at all times a step in the proper direction. ' Wo feel that, in recommending this code, wo are quite prepared to ?x pect some criticism of the code, and we recognize the desiro for a build ing code in its simplest form. It is impossible however, to subject nn; good building code to nny great amount of modification, whether it applies to a placo the fci7e of Med ford, or Ashland, or to a great city like Portland, Chicago, or New York: in other words, ft modified code means simply a lesser number of rules nnd a consequent decrease of proper protection of life and proper ty. The City of Medford hns always represented progress, and wo urge upon Your Honor nnd the council to permit no demand of selfish inter est to destroy the features of this code which are mado for public pro tection. Wo havo modified certain features of this code and have made cortnin recommendations, nnd, while we would desiro tho abolition of tho .xhinclc roof constituting, a it does.l ., ., ,. .. ' ... .1... I"".!.. ..4 M...1 . " K a grave iiu'iiiici u iov v uj ui mur frd, wo reeognie that conditions, and the situation of .Medford in re gard to its location, freight rates, etc.. render tho substitution of non combustihle roofing a diflioult prob lem at the present time. We particularly urge the adoption of all of those features which have to do with tho protection of life and the enforcement f the laws as regard hospitals, public schools, lodging houses, moving picture .shows, places of public iisseinblngi'. garages, mid the sloroce of paints, oils and explosives. We aNo urge the adoption of the code entirely, in so far as it does not work a positive injury to tho eommnnitj' nt large. The advantage of adopting thw code will be the co-operation of tin entire insurance world of this coin try, nnd the features of adoptm; chnnges to meet future conditions, from time to time, will be simplified bj adopting such amendments n- tin underwriters themselves insert in tin codes. By so doing, we feel sure that the benefits accming therefrom will It visited upon this city for all time to come, and will reflect credit upor the official management of the avoiding the horrors that have been visited upon other communities, nnd which appear upon the records as awful lessons of the past. Medford, with its long dry season, during which the roofs are particu larly susceptible to combustion, must needs adopt every safeguard to post pone a destructive conflagration. A failure to do so will viit upon the. city a disaster which WiH not only grcntly retard its progress, and af fect its financial credit, but may bring death and suffering upon the people.
