One of the most important
changes was effected in the lower
Smith River country. There is now
road from Sulphur Springs to the
fulls on Smith ltiver and a road
for a few mil lea up the North Fork.
I These roads do not connect up and
only lead to the river, where the
residents must take boats to reach
Reedsport or Gardiner. For many
'years the Smith River people have
been endeavoring to secure a road,
hut hnrmi0 rtf th front rnt nnth.
New District Is Created to iug has ever been done. There is a
: road from Gardiner f to Florence
(running considerably ' west of the
I North Fork, and there is a road
up Fiddle Creek in Lane county,
connecting up with the Gardiner
Florence road, but not quite reach
ing North Fork. The county now
proposes to connect up the Sulphur
Springs road with the North Fork
road and have the promise of the
Sluslaw national forest that If this
is done the forest service will, con
nect the Fiddle Creek road with
the other end of the North Fork
road and thus give a way out to
Florence or ' Gardiner' for the
Smith River residents. This road,
however, is not Intended to be the
main Smith River road, but is
merely designed for an outlet for
a few years while 'a road is built
down the river from Sulphur
Springs to Gardiner. This will be
heavy and expensive construction,
but the growing importance of the
Smith River district is believed to
justify the expenditure.
County Surveyor Eppstein is
now surveying the proposed North
Fork connecting road . and it is

Consolidation at Smith
River to Help in Build
ing Way Out
to Port.
Only a few changes In road dis
trict boundaries have been au
thorized by the county court which
has had several proposed . altera
tions under consideration. A new
district has been created to take
care of . Umpqua Park, Miller's
Addition and the aviation . field,
and a consolidation in the Smith
Vi.rii.r ... .1.- . T..,n,f.i hoped to build that section during
ing an important road . there. h coming "uramer. The district
ip nhannes have also been au-! . . .
Minor changes have also . been au-!
thorized in the Kellogg and Tyee
districts and the Dlxonvllle and
South Deer Creek boundaries. The
request for a consolidation of
Cleveland and Cole a Valley dis
tricts was denied. , .,
By taking portions of Districts
37, Melrose; 18, Happy Valley;
and 38, Roberts Creek, the county
court has created a new district,
No. 81, which takes in Miller's
Addition, Umpqua Park and the
aviation field roads. The new dis
trict has a . valuation of between
$150,000 and $200,000 which will
ruise approximately ... $250 yearly
for maintenance and will permit
the district to raise a maximum of
$1,500 by means of special, tax if
dosired. The Miller's Addition resi
dents have been anxious to secure
a new district in order to have a
loop road improved in .that section.
The road will follow Booth and
Mars tors . streets f and Starmer
street, which forms a connection
between the two east- and -west
streets, one lying on each, side of
'Farrolt Creek. Tho Umpquu park
residents ; are i anxious -to., have
money spent on their road,' along

and has available between $12,000
and $15,000 from the O. and C. tax
refund, so that it is believed that
an outlet can be provided by way
of North Fork during the present
year. It is then proposed to start
construction on a good, substan
tial road from Sulphur Springs to
Gardiner. In order to provide funds
to take care of tills improvement
program the county court has de
cided to consolidate all of the in
terested districts, Numbers A and
73 and a part of 5, giving a dis
trict with a valuation of more than
a million dollars. ;
Deny Consolidation
The petition asking for the con
solidation of Coles Valley and
Cleveland districts 'was . denied.
There was a considerable mum
ence of opinion regarding' this pro
posed change, each lac Lion being
well represented. After giving the
proposition thorough considera
tion the' court' decided not to make
any change in boundaries at this
time. - -
The boundary line between dis
tricts 9 and '68 Kellogg, and Tyee,
was shifted. The .line , was moved
about one mile north giving dis
trict 53 about Hi sections ioi island

trict took in a portion of the Deer
Creek road.
- May Revise System
There is a good deal Of; talk at
the present time concerning a com
plete revision of the county's' foaj
system. Now there are nearljj (70
separate road districts, each Hav
ing a small amount of road with
valuations ruuuing 1 all the way
fronr $5U,000 to more than one nu
lion dollars. Some districts, badly
in need of road improvement,
have not the wealth to build their
roads, while others with well im
proved roads have plenty of money.
It Is planned tc organize the coun
ty Into about ten largo road , dis
tricts. A permanent road crew
would then be maintained in each
district, so that continuous road
work could bo kept up. This would
give sutficient valuation in each
district to properly improve and
keep each main road In good con
dition and at the name time leave
maintenance funds for the smaller
and less used roads. This plan is,
of course, opposed by many farm
ers who have been in the habit of
voting a special roud tax on the
heavy timber holders and then get
ting employment on the roads so
that they could earn back what
they had paid plus a portion of the
money paid by the timber owners.
Such a system, the court believes,
while providing' a source of in
come to many persons throughout
the county, is not conducive to ef
ficient road building and there is
a strong sentiment favoring tho
larger district plan.

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 15. An
eminent professor in a leading sci
entific institute has completed a
very Interesting fesi on a most re
markable white light tor home use.
The test shows that this wonder
light is superior to electric, is
cneaner than common oil light and
Is the closest to sunlight of any
artificial light.
A leading eye specialist says this
light is a boon to country people
where poor lights are causing much
damage to eyeHight. Tho fuel used
is common kerosene und the lamp
is so simple and safe that a child
can light ft. It burns without odor
or noise, no pumping up.
The V- S. (Government and 33
universities have also tasted this
remarkable lleht and have data as
to its wonderful quality, elficiency
and economy.
