Portland, May 1 111».—The la-autiful spring weather that is being enjoyed everywhere in Oregon is »utlieient to make every man, woman and child in every village, town and oily, and upon every farm, feel as though their* was the best place in the wide, wide world to live. Street paving and hard surface pav ing of the metropolitan type has be come the rule throughout the cities and towns of Oregon. Many hun dred thousands of dollars will be in- i vested in hard surface pavements in ; Oregon, outside of Portland, and dur ing the present season Portland is do ing more paving than at any time in history. A vast area of Klamath, Harney, Lake and Malheur Counties, compris ing some three hundred thousand acre«, is to be opened for settlement. Much capital is behind the enterprise and this project must.of necessity at tract enormous attention to that great I portion of Oregon, which only needs improved transportation facilities to make it one of the most productive and popular sections of the North- I west, and the rapid settlement of these lands w ill force the building of tlie transportation lines. Out uf the greatest attractions of Rose Festival Week will be the 50- mile and 100-mile automobile speed contests to be held during the after noon of Thursday, June 4th. This will be the greatest racing event ever held on the Pacific Coast; the course lies east of this city, each lap being 14 miles, and a grandstand seating 10,000 jieople has been erected in full view of the start and finish ot the races. No machines will be allowed to enter which are not capable of a speed of 65 miles j>er hour. Three magnificent silver trophy cups are offered for each rate— one valued at #500, one at $250, and four at $100 each. The entire course will be oiled and in perfect con dition, the roads being closed to all traffic duriug the hours of the races and guarded by detachments of the Oregon National Guard. A field op- jiosite the grandstand will be reserved for the use of any who may wish to view the races from automobiles or carriages, while telephones stationed at different points will report the pro gress of the races, announcement to be made on bulletin boards.

The Death Valley Magazine, which is publishing the life ot Death Valley Scotty, will begin the story of the “ Jayhawkers of 4'J” in its May num ber. The “ Jayhuwkers” discovered and gave Death Valley its name The story will l*> written by John B. Col ton, one of the survivors, who is now 75 years of age. He was the youngest member of the party, being 16 years old at the time. April 5, 1849, the party, consisting of 36 members, organized at Galesburg, Ills., under the name of “ Jayhawkers," and started to the gold fields of Calif ornia. They were on foot the last 52 days of the trip, having abandoned their wagons and butchered their oxen for food. There arc four survivors, one a wo man aged 94 years, w ho carried a child upon her back and kept in Hue while strong men fell dead oa went insane upon the trail. All of the story will be told for the first time, the humorous as well as the pathetic. Publishers have sought it for 50 years, but the survivors have now deemed it fit and projicr to give it to the Death Valley Magazine. No pioneer nr lover of American history can afford to miss it. The subscription price of the maga zine is $1 a year. Every ¡»sue con tains stories and pictures of the desert worth the price. The publishers are also giving five shares of stock in the Death Valley (Junrtz and Placer Mining Company as a premium. The stock is of the par value of $1 j>er share.
