THE 3IORXIXG OREGONIAX. rilURSDAY, SEPTE3IBER 11, 1913. 1G BOWLBY TO BUILD ROADS 111 JACKSON State Highway Engineer Will Supervise Expenditure of $5CO,000 Bond Issue. WORK TO START AT ONCE County's Example Will Be Followed Throusliout Oregon, Says Julius 1,. Meier Mountain Grade to South to Be Made Easy. At the request cf the Jackson County Court, the State Highway Commission will take complete charge of the road construction work for which JoOO.OOO In bonds were voted in Jackson County on Tuesday. The work will be super vised in person by Major H. L. Bowlby. State Highway Kngtneer. Major Bowlbv. who was in Portland yesterday, was pleased with the action of the Jackson County voters. He ex plained the purpose of the bonds and outlined his plans In the road work, which will be taken up at once. "The $500,000 la to be spent for a modem, first-class highway. 24 feet wide, with a hard surface 16 feet wide, cald Major Bowlby. "The entire bond ssue Is for the construction cf one main trunk road, an extension of the Pacific Highway north through Jack eon County from the California line to the Josephine County line. The dis tance is about 6 miles. The State Highway Commission al ready has a party In the field survey ing the new road from the California line, where it Joins the new California state highway, thence north over the Siskiyou Mountains to Ashland. This stretch of 13 H mlls will be of new construction. The grading alone for this piece of road will cost $135,000 and the hard-surfacing as much more. Mock of Grading; I I'.nny. "There is little grading to do over the rest of the route. We shall let the contract for the grading as soon as possible on this section sometime la October, probably so that It can be completed and have time to settle through the Winter. Then we can start hard-surfacing in the Spring. "The voting of these bonds Is a bis thing for Oregon. Jackson County la the first county In ie state to take advantage of the county bonding act passed by the last Legislature author izing counties to Issue road bonds up to 2 per cent of their assessed valua tion. Jackson County's energetic ac tion sets an example for other coun ties to follow. "The present road over the Siskiyou Mountains, known as the "Dollar Hide Toll Road." is bad. It is impassable at times and. has grades as high as 20 to 30 per cent. The maximum grade on the new road will be 6 per cent. We expect to have the entire SO miles of the highway in Jackson County hard-surfaced and completed by the end of next year, so that it will be open to travel in 1915, the San Fran Cisco fair year. Road vvin Brlns Tourlata. "Jackson County people are expect In; this road, to bring many 1915 tour ists into the county, and it wilL The rounty will get back more from the tourists coming through by automo biles than the entire road will cost them. The highway passes through Ahland, Medford. Central Point, Gold Hill and Rogue River. "The building of this road, particu larly the stretch over the Siskiyou mountains, will not remove every dif ficulty for autoists between Portland and the California line, but it will re move one bad obstacle. There still will be a bad stretch through Douglas County. The people of that county, however, are already talking of a bond Issue to improve this section of the highway." Among the good roads' workers of Jackson County, whose efforts re sulted In the voting of the 1500,000 bond issue, are: George Putnam, of the Medford Mail Tribune: F. U Tou Velle, County Judge; W. H. Gore, "W. M. Colvig, A. E. Reames and J. A. Perry, vice-president of the Pacific Highway Association for Jackson County. Two years ago the people of Jack son County voted a bond issue of $1, 600.000 for good roads, but the Supreme Court declared it invalid on account of a defect in the law. The vote on good roads bonds in Jackson County yesterday was 3567 to 1102. or a majority of 2365. Every city and town In the county, whether on the proposed highway or not. voted for the bonds, the only opposition being in the remote districts. Medford led for good roads by a 16-to-l vote. Ash land followed closely, while Central Point. Gold Hill. Rogue River. Phoenix and Talent all registered their hearty approval. Nearly two years ago this county voted a $1,500,000 good road bond issue by 100 majority, but It was knocked out by the State Supreme Court. Other Counties May Follow. "As one deeply Interested In good roads I am especially pleased with the public spirit displayed by Jackson County." said Julius I. Meier, presi dent of the Columbia Highway Asso ciation, yesterday. "Now that Jackson County has pointed the way. I expect a rush on the part of other counties to vote good roads bonds. All that was needed was for one county to act first, and Jackson County has been especially lib. eral. "It is only a question of a few years until every county In the state will have good roads within its boundaries, with fine trunk highways traversing the state. The benefit to the counties and to the state as a whole from these good roads will be enormous. No phase of the state's development is more im portant." "Jackson County has shown a won derfully progressive spirit In voting fuch a. large bond Issue," said Frank B. Klley. vice-president for Oregon of the Pacific Highway Association. "As soon as this road has been built and the great benefits it will bring have been demonstrated, as they soon will be, the other counties will be clamor ing for roads as good. The start has been made by Jackson County and Its people deserve much credit." ASTORIA BABIES ON stfOW Youngsters In Fancy Costumrs Join in Parade With Dolls. ASTORIA, Or.. Sept. 10. (Special.) The Better Babies' Show and Moose Carnival that is to continue during the week opened today with a large attendance. The opening feature was the baby and doll parade. In which yores of youngsters, attired in all sorts of fancy costumes and carrying or wheeling their dolls, participated. There are nearly 100 entries for th prizes In the baby show and the ex jm I nation by the physicians and trained nurses started this afternoon. j BABIES, LARGE AND SMALL, I CONTEST AT fea :. r i GROI P OF MOTHERS AND CHILDREN ATTENDING BABY TESTS. BABY SHOW IS HELO Stern Judges Pause to View Eugenic Exhibits. NEW SOUNDS FILL HALLS Experts Pass Youngsters and Tell Mothers What to Bo for Those Found Defective Winners to Compete at State Fair. The halls of the fifth floor of the Courthouse resounded with strange sounds yesterday afternono. A show was in progress in the rooms of the Parents' Educational Bureau. There were so many babies and their moth era that the doctors and assistants were kept busy every minute from 1 to 5 o'clock. Several of the toddlers played out in the hall and attracted the atten tion of every visitor in the building and of the occupants of offices. Dignified Judges and busy clerks left their court affairs to take a peep at the little folks who were taking the Courthouse by storm. The eugenics tests were carried on thoroughly under the auspices of a bu reau conducted by the Oregon Congress of Mothers. Specialists examined eyes, ears, throats, noses, spine, limbs, chest, questioning the mothers and when the slightest defects or tendency to weak ness were found the doctors made sug gestions. Some of the youngsters took the ex amination in good part, while others yelled. When one Degan to cry at least a dozen followed suit, and then there was an uproar. This didn't ap pear to bother the doctors or nurses. There were many truly beautiful babies entered for the examination and some of these will compete for the eugenics prizes to be awarded at the State Fair.

Madi- POLICE COURT SMILES; SOME REAL, SOME GRIM 'Tor the Sake of the Child," Judge Stevenson Sends Man and Wife Back Home to Try Again Auto Speeders Feel Law. WHO would take Judge Stevenson for a thief when they, looked into his honest face? Tou would hardly have thought a soul. But that's what happened yesterday morning, and, as though to add insult to Injury, Just w'hen he was doing a kindness, too. It happened this way: Judge was walking along with Will Inskeep down Fifth at Pine street. Everybody knows the way he walks, as though he were running perpetually lor a lire, neaa downward, ponderlnj-over those sen tences on Bpeeders. Vetc. et al. w en. a demure little girl, carrying a buii case, about five feet high (the girl not the suitcase), stopped -nisoner lLnri asked him where the substation postofflce was. Judge woke from his reverie, looked around, got his bear ings, and. In his proverbially impetu ous manner, seized hold of the suit case and started off at about IM.P.E The look on that girl's face was a study. Evidently she thought the wretched man was stealing her suit case, for she started to run after him Even at that she had to keep run ning for two blocks to ca-tch up with him. and until the station was reacneo ever and anon, as she trotted along be side him. she would peer up at his face as if to reassure herself that this wasn't a bold bad man going to do the vanishing act round the corner with her suitcase. WHO stole the banjo and why? Was it to get more money for more "booze" or was it a deliberate attempt to do the owner out of his property? That's what Joe Sansett. "the famous Cowboy Banjoist. came up to court about yesterday. 'Twould seem, oh, horrors, that Cowboy Joe "had been imblbjpg some of the wine that cheers. He still looked It yesterday. In fact, he admitted It himself when ques tioned. "Looks as though you were drunk today, Joe." commented the law yer. "Yesli. bin drink' quite li'l, an' I'll drlnksh'more 'morrer," was his comment. "However, Joo was drinking along with his one-time friend. W. K. Mose ly, and when all Mosely's simoleons had departed they both still wanted more of the fiery water. So Mosely took Joe's banjo to pawn (at least that's what Mosely says) In order to get more money, and raised $2. When he got back Cowboy Joe was gone, but that, of course, did not prevent Mosciy from using tip all the $2 In an effort to drown his sorrows. Of course, the trouble started when he met Joe again, for. naturally, Joe wanted his banjo back. That's what he came up to court for and that explains Mosely a presence also. Finally Mosely was giv ENTERED IN THE EUGENICS COURTHOUSE. gan. secretary of the Milk Show Copi mittee and prominently identified with the eugenics movements, were among the visitors.

Nolan to Deputy District Attorney Delch yesterday that Japanese farmers liv ing beyond Mount Tabor, on the Sec tion Line road, have beeen shooting at birds and targets with high-power rifles. The complainants said that bullets had gone through a couple of houses and that the whole neighbor hood was terrorized. Mr. Deich cited the law requiring that aliens may not even be in posses sion of firearms unless they have alien gun licenses, which cost $25 each, and referred Mr. Nolan to State Game War den Finley. The latter declared last night that not a single alien gun li cense has been taken out in Oregon this year and that the complaint will be investigated. BOND DOUBT IS EXTENDED Eastern Experts Declare Recent' Is sue Is Not Valid. Although City Attorney LaRoche says there is nothing to the conten tion. Eastern bond experts who recent ly raised a question regarding the validity of dock bonds, have extended their contention to the municipal wa ter bonds which were sold a short time ago to raise money to make needed ex tensions of water mains in various parts of the city. Persons who purchased the bonds were notified yesterday that there is no certainty as to their validity. It is the contention of the Eastern experts that the new city charter prevents the sale of any bonds not directly author ized by the voters. City Attorney La Roche says he cannot see the question in any otljer way than that the water bonds are absolutely valid. en until Saturday to go and work, for a change, in order to raise "those two bucks of mine" back for Joe. They're not friends yet. MR. A. COHEN Is now wondering whether $6 a mile is not an exces sive price to pay for gasoline. He was traveling 30 M. P. H. in the 23 M. P. H. limit, and ho got pinched. Those extra five miles per hour cost him the neat little sum of 30 "bones." Had he been travefing at the ' pre scribed and legal rate his probable to tal cost per mile would have come to about 2 cents. But they will have those few extra miles. SO. TOO, was it with one J. Rous sellot. In his case it worked out Just a trifle differently; not quite so expensive, to be exact, as he was doing ten more than he should have done in the 15-mile limit. The price he paid was $25, or at the far from excessive and costly rate of $2.50 per; whereas, had he been content with Just those nice little 15 miles, he could have saved himself something in the region of $2.47 U per mile for ten miles. STILL they come! W. T. Halo lost $23 to the state in his game of catch-the-speeder, for he lost the toss. C. C. Anderson, motorblcycle this time, was fledged of the same amount, though he was given until September 13 to pay it. as he said he was broke. Then an auto truck in the hands of one James Yeakey got giddy and gay, waltzing along to the tune of from 18 to 20 miles an hour. This cost Yeakey the better part of a week's wages, as he had to fork up szG for the good of his country, and as a finale to the day's work, A. Dupuis was requested to come across with $25 for exceeding the limit in the restricted district. ' SHE was hashing it in the Panama; he at First and Salmon. One com plained of the other and in the mean time their 5-year-old child, the pride of both, was neglected by each. Neith er would give way and the climax came when he, Charles Dant. was ar rested by her, Dorothy Dant, for tear ing her new dress. "Make it up; re member your child is Just the very age when he needs you both; each give way a little. You, Charles, try .to avoid stopping out so late with your boy friends: take your wife out in stead," said Judge Stevenson. "Any how, I'll give you a week to see if you can't come together again. Only, do try for the sake of the child." They went out sm!U- SEATTLE BID LOW Sound City Firm May Repair Steamer Thode Fagelund.

FISHERMEN PAID $100,00 0 Alaska-Portland Company "Distrib utes Summer AVages. Yesterday was pay day on the sal mon ship Berlin, of the Alaska-Portland Association for the men of the Berlin and the Levi G. Burgess. Almost S 100.000 was paid out to the 200 fish ermen, cannery employes and trapmen. who are mostly Chinese, although sev eral other nations were represented on the payroll. This represents the men s earnings for their entire trip to the Far North. The value or tne nsn brought on the two cannery ships ia approximately $368,000. The Berlin, Captain George jioiton, is moored at the Albina dock, where she will discharge 43,000 cases of sal mon. The Burgess, Captain E. Thora sen. was left at St. Johns, as the Ock- lahama, which towed her from Astoria, was needed for other work. She car ries 49.000 cases of salmon, 8000 .of which belong to a San Francisco com pany and will be sent on by a coaster. She will lie in the stream until the berth occupied by the Berlin is Tcady for her. A large portion of .the pack of the two vessels will be shipped by rail lo New York and some of It to Europe. The season has been one of the best ever known in the Bristol Bay country, and the 18 days' voyage down was made in almost ideal weather until the mouth of the Columbia was reached, according to Captain Bolton. The weather in Nushagak and Bristol Bay this Summer was the finest the captain has ever seen, he says, sinco his first voyage in 189a in the bark Montana. The ship Standard, which was dam aged by running aground in Alaska waters last Spring, was to have carried 8000 cases of salmon which the Bur' gess brought here and which will have to be reshipped to San Francisco.

"Worth mountains of gold,", says one woman. Another says, "I would not give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for all the other medicines for Avomen in the world." Still another Avrites, " I should like to have the merits of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound thrown on the sky with a searchlight so that all suffering Avomen could read and be convinced that there is a remedy for their ills." We could fill a newspaper ten times the size of this with such quo tations taken from the letters we haA-e received from grateful women whose health has been restored and suffering banished by Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Why has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound accomplished such a universal success ? "Why has it lived and thrived and kept on doing its glorious work among the sick women of the world for mora than 30 years ? . Simply and surely because of its sterling worth. The reason no other medicine has ever approached its success is plainly and sun ply because there is no other medicine so good for women's ills.

Before it was gone the bloating left me and I was not so sore. I continued taking it until I iad taken 12 bottles. Now I am stronger than I have been for years and can do all my work, even the washing. Your medicine is worth its weight in gold. I cannot praise it enough.

McAllister, convicted as a member of the vice clique, attempted suicide in the West phal apartments in the period between his arrest and conviction last Fall, was given in Circuit Judge Cleeton's Court yesterday. The witness who made this statement was Del V. Meagher. Meaeher said that ono night McAllis ter took poison, laudanum, he believed. and that the witness and tne lanaiaay of the apartment house worked over him till 4 o'clock in the morning to save his life. This evidence came in the trial of Meagher's suit against Alice M.
