er points in the cunt whero ho went
to attend to business matters, lie
reports that tho war Is the principal
item of discussion in the eastern
states and that they take it much

the west.
Business conditions arc not as op
timistic as they were a few months
ago, although there is a r-lenlltuile of
money, hut it Is being held to a large
extent until after tho war bcaro has
passed. On his return Mr. Smith

very dljcornnble In that portion of
tho country he snys, especial so on
account of the lack of young men.

AsjisUnt State Engineer C. C.
Kelly arrived in the city today and
opened up the offices in the Perkins
building, -:vhkh were engaged by the
highway comlmsslon a short time
ago. Mr. Kelly will make his head
quarters hero for about two years it
is said, as tho work in southern Ore
gon v.ill take at least that long and
the entire amount of improvement
in this section of the state la to be
handled from the local office.
Mr. Kelly stated today that the
commission will meet in Portland
with tho county court July 28 at
which time they will map out a
definite program for Improvement
work in Douglas county, at the pres
ent time plans are. being made so
that the contracts may be formed
wltho'ut delay.
He has completed nearly all details
for tho project and will have every
thing in readiness for the considera
tion of the commission and the
members of the court on the day set
aside for tho purpose.
Although no official announcement
lias been made Mr. Kelly says that
the work to ho considered this year
will probably be tile elimination of
the bad roads In the Pass creek can
yon vicinity, the grade crossings be
tween Itoscburg and Oakland and
south of Itosebtit-g, tho Improvement
of both approaches to the national
forest by way of Canyonville, and the
changing of the Pacific highway so as
to go by way of Dlllard. This later
project may l.o held In abeyance un
less right of way can he obtained at
once. Some of the residents are in
clined to put aii exhorbltunt price on
their land- which Is necessary for the
establishment of this route and un
less they agree to more reasonable
terms the project will be dropped
this year and plans made to open up
a road on tho other side of the moun
tain', a very practical route being
open In that way.
Mr. Kelly will work throughout
Jackson and Josephine counties and
liming his absence the office will be

Today's afternoon program at the
cnautauqua was wtnessed by a large
crowd despite the warm weather and
the musical prelude furnished by the
Boston Light Opera Company waa
pleasing in every respect and only
gives an "inkling" as to what the ev

were greeted by great applause at
the end of each number.
Tho afternoon lecture was given
by Dr. A. E. Turner, the dbmmunlty
builder, who chose as his topic
"Watch Your Step." His talk was
full of "pep" and each statement ut
tered by him carried a great deal of
weight with the audience. Dr.
Turner knows the problems of the
American town and city and he of
fers sane, sensible solutions. He id
a constructionist of the first order.
His lecture was listened to with great
interest.
The sheriff's ofllce thrs after-
noon received a list of 1. W. W.
card names and- numbers to he
used by the local officers ns
means ot Identification in case
an Invasion Is made by the
"workers". These names and
numbers have been placed on
lile in tl e sheriff s office nnd it
any captures are made it will
be an easy matter to ascertain
their identity.
