This route would provide for a road etralght west from the turn In the highway near the Junction City creamery south of that city. This road would make one turn farther west and connect straight with the turn on the present high way about one mile west of Junc tion City on the ro s i toward Mon roe.

R relrsted , H ow ever, and New I*resident. Mrs. Mabel H . Chadwick was re elected secretary of the county fair board Saturday despite a fire of criticism from C. S. Calef, director and executive board member, on hsr salary, expenditures and pro cedure In administration. C. W. Allen of Vida was elected president. Philip Gent of Irving, vice president; the United States National bank, treasurer, and C. W Allen, C. P. Barnard, Clinton Hurd, O. E. Crowe, C. 8. Calef, R. B. Thompson, Phillip Gent and A. C. M iller to the execqjive board. Calef threw bis bombshell Into a previously tranquil meeting right at the end of the proceedings as E U. Lee, president, was ready to ad journ the session. He attacked the present method of county fa ir ad m inistration and urged adoption of the plan advanced by the state as sociation which would take much of the power out of the hands of the secretary. Under the new system the fa ir would be under the direct supervision of four members of the executive board, who would be placed under bond and be respon sible to the county court. Earlier In the meeting Mr. Calef had succeeded in getting the m at ter of adopting the new system re ferred to the county court for study. The court will report at the next board meeting. Calef prefaced his attack with the statement that no member of the fair board knew Just how the funds were administered, and said that he had looked into the rec ords of the county and of the sec retary and found things the board should have been informed about. The chamber of commerce, at Its Tuesday luncheon, postponed action on a proposal of officials of the Lane county Bed Cross that Cot tage Grove materially Increase Its Rad Cross subscription, put the money In the county treasury of the organization and have cases of distress In this vicinity handled by the county organization. There was considerable opposi tion to the move and some criticism of the large proportion of county Red Cross funds that go to pay salaries. Some one fam iliar with Red Cross activities will be asked to ex- i plain the proposal to the chamber at Its next meeting M arshall Sh ields Is Injured. Marshall Shields of Eugene, who, with Chet Jamison, started a minia ture golf course here last summer on the G. B. Pitcher property, was seriously injured about 12:30 a. m. Friday when the car in which he was riding was wrecked on Pacific highway five miles north of Eu gene He suffered eight fractured riba, two being torn loose from the back bone and puncturing his right lung He la reported to be making satisfactory progress A com panion of Shields was seriously in jured and several others were severely shaken up. The car was badly dokiaged The accident happened when the car attempted to pass a truck hold ing closely to the center of the road and then swerved Into an exposed culvert to avoid being side-swiped by the truck’s trailer. Mountain States Power Is Enlarging Production O f special interest to the many local shareholders and customers of the Mountain States Power com pany Is the shareholders quarterly bulletin recently received here. The bulletin, which accompanied the regular quarterly dividend on Mountain States Power company preferred stock, indicates a steady growth and development of the ter ritory served by this utility. In the W illam ette division addi tional capacity has been provided in the Albany substation by the in stallation of three 2,000 K V A trans formers. Steadily Increasing loads have necessitated this Installation in order to provide adequate facili ties to care for the usual fall and w inter demands in and about the city of Albany. An additional Im provement in this vicinity, carried on during August, was changing of the 11 K A insulators on the Albany- Springfield transmission line. The old insulators replaced had been in continuous service since 1912. Many new line extensions are now being made in the rural districts in the W illam ette division, a considerable number ol farms being electrified before winter- Reconstruction of the flume at Jordan was completed during Aug ust.

A large number of new rural cus tomers were connected in the Ore gon territory during the past three months, many farmers realizing the superior advantages of central sta tion service for lighting, cooking and power. An unusually large load was necessary to supply the many electric prune driers in the W illam ette division during the dry ing season. Practically all of the modern driers operating at Dallas and throughout the W illam ette val ley are now electrified.

When a group functions as an harmonious and perfect whole it is difficu lt to choose any one charac ter or feature as outstanding. Such was the case with the Junior class play, “Tommy," presented last F ri day n ig h t I t scored a decided hit w ith a large audience. Each por trayed his role, whether minor or lead, in a capable manner. Members of the cast were ex ceptionally well suited to their parts The play itself was of a type easily handled by amateur players and was filled with catchy lines, amusing situations and quick ac tion. The cast, the type of play and the capable direction of Miss Earlel Lee G ilb e rt coach, combined to make "Tommy" an outstanding high school production. The story of the play is that of the thorns that beset the path of love's young dream. Overanxious parents, played by H a rrie t Wise man and Lawrence Kent, try to force their daughter Marie, played by Madelle Beidler, to m arry Tommy Mille 'M elvin Breese). Such paren tal urgency makes Marie encourage Bernard (K a rl Thomason). Marie's uncle, David Tuttle (Dayton C lark), seeks to keep Tommy in the run ning and realizing the value of op position in bringing desired results, starts to belittle Tommy, bringing Marie to the boy's defense. The fact that both Tommy and M arie’s father have land for a municipal golf course further complicates the situation. Tuttle, who is political boss of the town, with the aid of his henchman. Judge Wilson (Ettael- bert Craw ford), straightens out this tangle and Tommy finally wins Marie. Mrs. Wilson (Ruth Olson) and W illie Wilson (o ff - stage), played by Orval E tter, contribute to the interest of the play Heta Bailes, was prompter but re ported that she had little work to do. Between acts the high school orchestra, the string quartet and the girls' sextet entertained with several numbers. Miss Gilbert, director, and Miss Jewel Mackenzie, class adviser, were given flowers by the class. Gross receipts totaled about 3180. The producing staff follows: Jun ior class adviser, Miss Jewel Mac kenzie; business managers, M ar garet Leonard, Victor G off; stage managers, Orval Etter, Herman Lafky; house manager, Rodney Safley; ushers, chairman, Dorothy Umphrey; programs, Alton Wood ard, Evelyn Smith; entertainment, Mildred Chapman, Edna Harvey; music, Miss Violet Mills, supervisor; interior decorations, Miss Sara Louise Shields.
