STATE HOUSE, Salem,-Or., Feb. ID. Tho Crater Lake Road appropria

A brief but bitter fight took place just previous to its passage..
Medford has made good in tho cyer of the stato. Her spirit the spirit
thai builds cities and makes them famous is again triumphant. Deciding only
a few months ago that a boulevard to Or .iter Lake was a necvossity that she

cheering news that she has accomplished that end. And it is only success that
counts.

STATE IIOUKIC, Salem, Or., Feb
111.
Despite the fact that a favorable re- i
port has been voted by the ways tind
moans eoniinittee of the senate, the
('rater Lake road appropriation bill is
lining held in the se-iate to nwuit ac
tion on the normal school bill.
The coiMiniltee ivf'ises to report tile
norma! school bill until the house acts
upon the senate bill abolishing the nor
llip.ls. It is nppnront that the enemies of the
normal bill are holding up the Crater
road bill ill an effort to force the friends
of the latter measure in the house to
support the bill killing the normals. The
supporters of the Crater Lake road
bill will be between two fires and are
insisting upon a separate consideration
and upon an exhibit of merits.
The situation is critical, as the time is
growing short and the bill is likely to
be killed in the final rush.
The friends of the fritter Lake bill in
the senate dare not take the bill away
from the commitee lest the move an
tagoiiize the members, and every vote
is needed.
The poll of the seuate shows suffi
cieut strength to pass tho Crater road
bill if it could be taken upon the floor
of the senate, but th-' delay is dangerous
as under currents are at work which
endanger its pnsng
