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.

“ JAYHAWKERS OF
A 9 ."
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.
