MY LADY'S HEADGEAR.
My lady's headgear of today is frequently fearfully am
wonderfully made, only a trifle less remarkable than tin
millinery run mad monstrosities that might be said to cap
the climax of her grotesque waistless figure. Xo longer
"like careless flowing fountains are the ringlets of her
hair." Xo more can the poet sing 4 '
"Shine out, little head, sunning over with curls
To the flowers and be their sun."
Instead there is a conglomeration of twists, loops, con
volutions, braids, puffs and rats and occasionally peroxide
a destruction of natural lines and tints that baffles mere
man. .
Various and absurd, bizarre but seldom beautiful, art-
shapes, designs and sometimes shades attained ; occasion
ally it seems as if a flap-jack had been smashed over a fair
face ; once in a while what is apparently a bird house pro-
. trades from beauty's head, adorned with piazzas and rail
ings: sometimes it is a winding stairwav up a conical hil
or a miniature Table Rock above my lady's brow; not im-
frequently an untidy mess resembling a worn-out mop
dangles over daintiness beneath.
Bawano Tiunbo will be surprised upon his return to
find the jungle fashions of headgear in vogue in his native
land with a 'preference for head-hunter and Hottentot
models. A blase civilization, having exhausted its ingenu
ity for the novel, has returned to the barbarous for inspir
ation, and twentieth century culture smirks complacently
beneath the creation of the cannibal ot the Congo.
Once upon a time woman's crowning glory was hoi
hair but that was before the rats got' into it- Oh! foi
a pied piper to charm the rodents from the tresses o
beauty!
PLANT SHADE TREES.
of
It is hoped the movement for the beautification
Medford will not stop with park improvement.
Parks are essential and ean be made visions of beauty,
but the streets of the city can be beautified at less expense
and with better results.
Beautiful streets go further in making a city attractive
than parks or any other improvement. They are an affaii
of workaday life ; parks are affairs of leisure.
Many an ugly little flat prairie town of the central wesl
has been transformed into a veritable bower of beauty
simply by planting a sufficiency of shade trees.
Medford, from a rather uninteresting residence town
with houses bordering on the dingy and streets on the shab
by, can be transformed into the most attractive of all Ore
gon towns simply by plenteous planting or shade trees..
Left to individuals, the trees will never be planted
Experience proves this. The work must be pushed sys
tematically by organized effort.
The ladies or the Ureater .Medtord club are best equip
ped for such work, and it is hopqd that they will take iifld
and make tree planting a feature of their useful work.
The co-operation of school children and city oiiieials can
be utilized.
Every street should be lined with shade trees, of uni
form variety, planted at uniform distances apart.
"Winter is the time for tree planting. Xow is the time
to mature plans and order stock. If left later, there will
be another fiasco and efforts will end in nothing, as they
ended last year.
A STATE HIGHWAY POLICY.
Candidates for governor might as well begin to think
about a state highway policy, says the Salem Journal.
The people are thinking about it.
They wonder why-this state cannot do something for
state highways.
For instance, the federal government has been expend
ing $75,000 a year building magnificent highways in Rain
ier national park.
Oregon has been getting a pittance like $3000 for Cra
ter national park. t
When the state tries to do something to build a state
highway to make Crater Lake accessible the injunction
fiend bobs up to stop it.
Between the dead ones who still encumber the earth
and the kickers should not encumber the earth we are mak
ing slow progress. '
This state should adopt the policy of building one first;
class state highway through each county.
It might cost $10,000 a mile, but it would be a good in
vestment. Such a highway with a forty-foot macadamized road
way, would bo traveled day and night.
Thousands of the most prosperous business men of
the state and the tourist travel of the whole world would
bo passing over it. v
It would not be long before such roads could be elec
tric lighted.
Residences and beautiful country homes would spring
up along such roads, and land on such roads would become
worth $'J00 to $.")00 an acre.
Such a road would be an object lesson for the people to
demand good county roads.
One good macadamized state road thmigh each count v
would stimulate the whole county to build better roads as
feeders to the main road.
Nothing would do so much to develop the country, bring
in people and stimulate property values as these state high
ways. The Capital Journal proposes that we enter upon a state
campaign for state highways.

John F. Stevens, president of the
Oregon Trunk line, now building into
central Oregon, has reached Port
land from the cast and is quoted as
follows in the Oregonian:
