THE MOItNTNG OREGOXTAX, WEDNESDAY, DECE3IT5FR 13, 1023 21, 3 CRATER LIKE ROAD JOB TO BE ASKED Completion of Last Gap to Be Requested. TWO DELEGATIONS HERE Work on John Day Highway in Gilliam Coiinty Also to Be Keauested ol Commission. to urge the construction of the last gap on the Crater lake road and the last gap on the John Day high way in Gilliam county, two delega tions have arrived to meet the state hiirhwav commission today. An other delegation will appear asking that the "inside route between As toria and Portland be placed on the state map, and the commission aiso will be requested by Astorians to extend and build the Columbia River highway through the town of As toria. These and other matters promise to make the session of the commission exceedingly busy. There remain nine miles between Prospect and Trail to be graded and surfaced to complete the road from the lake to Medford. Jackson county already has expended 5500,000 on the highway. The cost of the nine miles' of grading and macadam is esti mated, roughly, at $300,000, and the Jackson county court wants the work done as a co-operative project between the highway commission and the government. The commis sion is said to view the matter fa vorably in order that the state can reap the benefit on the money already invested in the road. Work in Winter Possible. G. A. Gardner, judge of Jackson county, says that the nine miles can be graded in winter this winter and be completed before the travel starts next season. This section is along the Rogue river, and there Is no way for a detour. Because of this peculiar situation. Judge Gardr ner is eager to have the contract let and work started during the winter so that the grade will be in readi ness for the traffic in spring. It is sa;id that government men want a surfacing piaced on another section of the highway. Thecouniy Is will ing to agree that if the nine-mile section is graded the county will run water wagons on the dusty division which "the government wants sur faced. A 17-jrtile gap remains in Gilliam county on the John Day highway, and the county court arrived last night to talk it over with the high way commission. This gap is from the south end of Shuttler flat to Gwendoiin. The county has $17,000 left from a $50,000 jag of bonds, and there are $40,000 of bonds voted for the road between Lone Rock and Condon. If a way can be found to divert this Lone Rock money and use it on the John Day highway gap, with the state matching the $57,00 and what can be'obtained from the government, the gap improvement can be financed. The sticking point is how to divert the $40,000. The Lone Rock people are said to be agreeable, for their connection writh Condon can be developed as a mar ket road. Astoria Pavingr Favored. The Columbia River highway now stops just outside the city limits of Astoria. For a long time the com mission has tried to have the city speed up so the highway can be paved to the end. In view of the disaster to Astoria and the financial difficul ties of that town, a proposal will be made to the commission today that the Columbia highway be built and paved directly through the city. Once more the commission will be requested to place the "inside route" on the state road system. A year ago when a similar request was made the commission showed how the route could be built as a market road by the counties interested co operating. Those advocating the insult- route did not enthuse over buijding it with market road funds. The destruction of Astoria has given a new argument, and the delegation is returning with the plea that if the inside route is made a state highway and built by the state it will benefit in the rebuilding of Astoria. Bids have been advertised for today for the surfacing of the Mount Hood loop road between Sandv and Cherryville, in Clackamas county, and two small paving jobs on the Pacific highway in Linn county also are advertised, as well as the pav ing of the Columbia River highway through the town of Rainier. Before the commission ends its sessions this week it will again take up the further working out of next year's highway programme.

PETER BJMIS GUEST LUMBERMEN'S CLUB ENTER TAINS NOTED WRITER. Dinner in Bensosn Hotel Marked by Fun A. J. Russell and Jack Dionne Also Guests. . Monday night the Lumbermen's club of Portland entertained at din ner in the Benson hotel for Peter B. Kyne of Los Angeles and his troupe of "trained fleas," as the famed fic tionist describes them. Peter Kyne. veteran of four wars, including the latest shingle war in California, gets his fiction over be cause he writes facts. His charac ters and his stories are alive. The explanation is that Kyne has lived them. He knows them all and his writings are not forced. They act as real characters for the reason that they are real. . When Mr. Kyne introduced A. J. Russell. "Old Silvertip," that night, few present had any diffi culty in recognizing J. Augustus Hidden, hero of the shingle and grape stake stories. J. Augustus confessed that he is an Oregon prcduct. Inasmuch as Cappy Ricks and his son-in-law, Matt Peasley, hail from Grays Harbor and tfie Kyne troupe has just returned from a sojourn in that vicinity, where Matt is now sailing a full-rigged ship, this might have been charac terized as a sort of a homecoming. Fred Roblin presided as 'toast master and Fred Cutler, president of the club, closed the meeting. The preliminaries went off with a rush. The chairman merely introduced Frank Morrill, second vice-president; Carl C. Crow, secretary-treasurer, and the man who arranged much of the entertainment; Forrest C. Haworth, chairman ofthe enter tainment committee, and Herbert J. Anderson of the membership com mittee. Fred Roblin, abetted by J.

Marshall Grenfell Compiles Set of Rules to Be Observed in Safe Decorating. In an effort to -prevent the usual crop of holiday fires. Fire Marshal Grenfell yesteraay issued a warn ing interview ana compiled a set of rules for decorating safely. j "More carelessness with fire is apparent at the Christmas season than at any other time of the year," said, Mr. Grenfell. "Each year has seen recorded a number of deaths and a very large number of in juries as a result of Christmas ires. Many children are burned to 'Jeath every year by fires started from Christmas candles; many homes are in ashes because of carelessness with Christmas decora tions." Rules for safe holiday practice as issued by the fire department fol low: t j Do not decorate your Christmas tree ! Mth paper, cotton or any otner in flammable material. "Use metallic tinsel and other, non-inflammable decorayona only, and set the tree securely so that the children in reaching for things can not "lip it over. Do not use cotton to represent snow. If you must have snow use asbestos titer. Do not permit children to light or re light the candles while parents are not present. They frequently set fire 1o their clothing instead. 1 Do not leave matches within reach of children at holiday time. Candles are meant to be lighted, and if the children clii get matches they will experiment Vrith them. They imitate their elders. Do not allow tree to remain inside Luildings- after the holidays. The tree itself ignites readily when needies have become dry. A large number of 'fires usually occur in January from this cause. 1 Quiclvly and safely dispose of the boxes, excelsior and other combustible packing material which comes with Christmas gifts. Keep all Christmas decoration? a safe distance from gas jets and electric light bulbs. A current of air may blow the I't'ht inflammable decorations against the gas flame or against the electric lipht bulb. Make no changes in electric wiring without first obtaining the approval of the electrical inspector. j NAME CAUSES TROUBLE Friends Mistake Local Doctor for Another Man.

Dr. Drake ex plained that he was not even pres ent in the city at the time, the man who appeared at the meeting and with whom he was confused being T. Francis Drake. The fact that Dr. Drake is a former member of the school board, as "well as the similarity of names, led to the con fusion.

That's the Goodyear Gold Seal ljootl It was in the seventies that the son of Charles Goodyear, inventor of vulcanizing, authorized this company to use his father's name. Gold Seal boots, he had found by the severest tests of the laboratory and actual use, were worthy of bearing the family name. They were the best then; they are the best today. It is regrettable, however, that many concerns now apply the Goodyear name to inferior rubber goods. Some even try to duplicate our trademark. There is only one genuine Goodyear Rubber Company and only one Gold Seal label This venerable, gold-colored mark that identifies the finest quality of rubber footwear it is possible to make, is round in shape.' It bears the name of the Goodyear Rubber Com pany stamped upon it. It is your guarantee that there is no shoddy, reclaimed rubber or substitutes in Gold Seal boots, only pure virgin rubber.
