Promotion of a jitney passenger ser

tent city for Tourists with a side trip
to Crater Lake, and the same rate as
railroads offer, is under way by Seat
tle capitalists, headed by L. H. Grif
fiths, who engineered the deal that
built the famed Moore Hotel in the
Sound metropolis. Mr. Griffiths is in
the city today arranging the prelimina
ry details. The final decision on the
plan will not be known for a week or
ten days. It is planned to put the
scheme in operation by April 1st.
Medford will be one of the division
points on the proposed service. Ne
gotiations are under way for the rent
ing of the fair grounds as the site for
the tent city, where meals and lodging
will be furnished the over-flow from
the hotels. Roseburg has furnished a
site, the other division point in the
state outside of Portland and Medford
Mr. Griffiths is also arranging for the
securing of automobiles in this city for
the trip over the Siskivous, and will
leave tonight for a meeting with his
associates at Seattle upon the feasi
bility of the plan.—Mail Tribune

If war were as slow as diplomacy,

Kaiser Wilhelm apparently regards
the crown Prince as the infant terri-

Possibly Carranza is still hanging

Perhaps the report that Gen. Villa

the loss of Mexico City hurt his feel-

California is thinking of dividing in I
