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.

rested at Raymond today and will
be returned to Cliehalis on a charge

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. Augus
tus Riddel, characterized Portland
; as the lumber capital of the world,
i and. as th.ey were both engaged in
i the lumber trade paid Portland ful
some tribute.
One of the big attractions of the
evening was Jack Dionne with his
inimitable store of southern and
darkey stories.

DANGERS DURING HOLIDAYS
ARE STRESSED.
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.
Similarity' of names is causing
Dr. J. Francis Drake, prominently
identified with the Oregon national
guard and a former member of the
school board, no end of embarrass
ment, according to Dr. Drake, who
recently returned frpm a trip to
California.
Upon his return from the south,
Dr. Drake said, he was joked and
criticised by acquaintances for
what they supposed was his part in
the recent school board meeting, in
which religious issues in connection
with letting of contracts for archi
tectural work were discussed with
considerable heat. 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. SAFETY DINNER IS HELD
Heads of Mills and Factories Are
Told of Accident Problems.
RAYMOND, Wash., Dec. 12. (Spe
cial.) Thirty-three managers, su
perintendents and foremen of mills
and factories were in attendance

visor of safety of the department
of labor and industry, who talked
to the men more than an hour, ex
plaining in detail the number of
accidents that are occurring in the
hazardous industries of the state.

brought out by Mr. Hughes in the
course of his remarks were that
from 20,000 to 25,000 industrial ac
cidents have occurred during the
year, of which 300 to 400 were fatal,
and that 522,000,000 has been -paid

children in this state during the
last 10 years. I

There is only one
Gold Seal trademark
A boot first made when Grant was president and the Northwest was
young
Built layer upon layer of the finest, new, pure virgin rubber to withstand
the gruelling wear of miners and fishermen of those stirring pioneer days
A boot -made today with the same ruggedness with even more wearing qualities
added by late improvements. 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.
Gold Seal Boots will out
wear ordinary boots. They are
crack proof! Good stores up
and down the Pacific Coast
sell them in a range of weights
and heights. Always look for
the genuine Gold Seal label
