SHAM BATTLE ONE FEATURE 'Something Doing F.veiy Minute is Flan Adutnced ( 'oinniittee at Work olid Council M.ty lie Aked for Streets. In response to the recent agitation for a real patriotic Fourth of July celebration, the Fourth Company of : Coast Artillery yesterday set on loot h jdun which they believe will meet i all requirements. In a day replete with all kinds of events, much noise jand continuous excitement, the or Iganb.ution would hark back to the celebrations of the past and stage an : affair long to he remembered. Among the features already con sidered is a realistic sham battle be I tweeii forces composed of two divi sions of the local company, or be : tw tn the company as one force and another company invited here from ionic other point tu participate. This battle would be fought either en the streets or in a district outside the icily. A similar battle was held here about 2'i years ago. i A committee is in charge of the I arrangements and the city council-' will probably be asked fur the use. of the streets within the next week.' If the concession is granted, the company w ill also hold laces and' , various tourn-iments to interest the crowds and will probably maintain Islands for the dispensation of re-' i freshments, by which they hope to i raise a small fund for the benefit of i ! ibe organization. This money would later be used to procure supplies and .small conveniences, such as would ' he needed when the company is , ; called into service. On the commit- ' i t-c are I. lent.

The shaded grounds about the site of the onto famous institution were throng ed with no less than 6U0 people and much time was passed in renewing old friendships and acquaintances and exchanging reminiscences of the lung ago. There were many present at the reunion who had . not met for the span of half a century, and they re called vividly the days when they were s-hoolinatfls together at the old academy. The program, which had been arranged under the direc tion of .Miss Inez Mill"i'. and a num ber of other prominent residents of that vicinity, was one which will Ions be remembered by those who participated.

Instructors ASSAILANT OF GUARD IS PROBABIY INSANE; I Wilt BE QUESTIONED; That the fellow who was arrested south of Ashland u few days ago charged with knocking Private Adam Garreu from a bridge spanning Grave Creek, is "nuts," was the opin ion expressed by Sheriff Jennings, of Jackson County, who interviewed the prisoner yesterday. The Med ford Tribune this morning published the following item regarding the prison er, and the same will probably be of interest to the Guardsmen and friends of the injured man stationed in this city: The prisoner .who has stubbornly refusesd to give his name or any in formation about himself, is put by I Sheriff Jennings and Acting Chief of Police SC raw ford In the class of hu man beings known as "nuts." Ac cording to Crawford the prisoner has not got sense enough to become clear crazy. Captain Todd .of Company I. who arrived in the city Wednesday even ing, could not give the authorities any advice as to what charge to place against the prisoner. The puzzling thing about the arre.st is that the crime was committed in a not her county, while the arrest was made In this county. Captain Todd wrote to the colonel of the Third Oregon Infantry Wed nesday night and asked for advice from headquarters as to what should he done with the prisoner. He expects an answer by Saturday morning. I! .iosf.i-ii M-;l.NNis. Tin: cow CltFFK YAl.l.FV ItAMHFIt, WAS Tltll:l ox CIIAItdF. OF ASSAI I.T OX I'FltSO.X OF l.ll. I.IAX KOXhF.ir.

BIG SUPPLY Of ROCK ORDERED County Commissioner W. F. St. John W ill Ite hi Charge of Improve ment1 Rock Will Re Fluted In Two l.aer.. In subslantiation of au article pub lished exclusively in the Review a lew days ago to the effect that a con tract had been awarded by the Coun ty Court lor 4 out) aids of gravel and crushed lock for immediate improve ments to the 1'acilic Highway, ar rangements were made today for the delivery of the first consignment or material near Winchester. This ac tion completely disproves the conten tion made by a local publication lol I owing Uie announcement, which taid that the court had awarded no such cont ract. According to County Commissioner V. F. St. John this morning, four carloads of crushed rock would be delixeretl at Winchester probably to day and would be applied to the road grade there al once. Other cars will be handled as soon as ihe trans portation is secured anil the material loaded. In all as many as iM cars may be delivered next week. The contract for the entire Dm cars has hern placed with the Kosehurg Sand ic Crael Co., us was indicated in the previous issue of The Review. The improvement near Winchester. stated Mr. St. John, will extend prac- ! tically all the way from that place to Kdcnbowcr. The grade has been pre pared utider the direction of K. (!. Cloake. and scrapers, rollers and graders have been at work for sev eral days. This improvement will be one of the biggest pieces of work un dertaken in Oii.s section of ihe Pa cific Highway and will consume it lan;o share of the material ordered from the local crusher. The rock will be applied in two layers, one of which will he of larger size to form the base, while the second will be a j surface dressing of much finer size. Commissioner St. John will be in ac j live charge of all the Improvement I and of the others for the northern I pari of tht county.

These wen recently perfect ed by Mr. Larson and later adopted by the County Court.

Kiddle, winner of the prire essay contest conducted by Representative Chas. A. Hrand, of (arden Valley, returned here last night rrotn a trip as rar south as the Calirornla line, where he made a thorough 'nspection nr the roads. Mr. Kiddle today furnished Ihe Itevlew with a brief account of his trip, hh follows: ," A brier account of my trip over the Pacific Highway will probably be of Interest to the people of Doug las County at this time. As the guest of Mr. W. 11. Gore, Joint Rep resentative from Douglas and Jack son counties, nnd Mr. Westerlund. president of the Tri-Slate Hood Koiids Association, I made the trip to the state line. I had been over this road many tlinen during the last iii; years, but the trip over the Im proved highway was a. revelation, nnd for skilful engineering. I do not believe the road over this Siskiyou mountains is surpassed In the world. ' The ascent of the Siskiyou road begins at the old stage station which pri'M-nta tho same appearance as It did III years ago. The road Is taut In graceful curves to the summit, whli h Is six miles. Al no place on the road does the grade exceed 4.2. The road Is H feet .vide nnd. strange to say, there Is not a blind curve at any point. At one point the road forum a loop, passing be neath a beautiful concrete bridge. Next the loop crosses over Ihe bridge that also spans the railroad track. There are three concrete bridges and they are lonslructed in the most sub stantial manner. The culverts are also of concrete construction and will last for all time. Over this road Mr. Hole drove his heavy Pack ard automobile on high. We also met or parsed nil kinds of vehicles. Immigrant wagons with poor teams, and many automobiles. Indicating that Ibis road is used for all kinds of traffic. "This road demonstrates the dif ference between permanent and scientific road construction and the patchwork so nollcable In Douglas County. A little over two years ago Jackson County bonded lor J'lti'i, ii im to construe! permanent roaiK and the result Is a pave.l nignway from Central Point lo Ashland, a distance of about 17 tulles. This ! paved road is HI leet wide. An Ini ! proved road from Ashland to the I California line also adds lo easy traveling ill that part ot Ihe stale i The latter road Is paved, and not withstanding these Improvements. JaikMiin County has 1 7.i of its j road money which has not been ex ' pended. The people of Jackson i County ale the pioneer road build : ers of Soul hern Oregon and e should take our hills oil lo them, j - It is folliinale that this splendid pieie of highway Is the gateway to Oregon, and I am sine that liniiil- grants or tourists upon entering tins stale are mole than pleased Willi conditions.
