LIGHTS TO BE INSTALLED Forest Service Places Iron Ladders lor Vao of Tourists 10,000 Visitors In Summer Expected. GRANTS Pass. Or., Jan. 28. (Spe - clal.) In co-opcratlon with the fed eral government, the state has com pleted a road costing $130,000, with n additional contract recently awarded for $29,000 covering tlie cost of three miles to connect the Caves highway with the Crescent City hlgn way, throwing open to the public an attraction that will be visited, it is estimated, by 10,000 tourists next summer. The forest service has, at the re quest of the chamber of commerce, which is backing the proposition, submitted to the commercial organi zation proposed expenditures totaling JlO.iioO to be used in lighting and im proving the caves and vicinity. This amount is nearly $10,000 In excels of that provided in an appro priation bill which will be pressed on congress. Under the proposal, the following amounts would be spent: Lighting system, $7300; water and sewage system, $000; shelter, guide's house, $1000; visitor's house, $10,000; camping facilities. $350; fences. $500; auto park, $5000; trail system, $10,000 and for further exploration of the caves, $600. Trall Lead to Scenery. The lighting system as proposed calls for a flume, turbine generator, and a general wiring and HghUng of the interior of the caves. Nearly 3000 ft-et of lA-inch plp is planned to carry water to various hydrants, com fort stations and septic tanks. The visitor's house would consist of a largo lobby, lunch room or grille, and 10 or 12 sleeping apartments. Addi tional shelter Is provided for In cot tages In connection with the main building. As the country surrounding the caves is rough and steep, the cham ber of commerce la seeking to have an additional flat of about 35 acres included in the Siskiyou National for est, located upon the Caves highway. More ground will haveto be cleared at the Caves proper to make room for campers. t Several scenic trips are available with more trails. The divide three miles east of the Caves monument is more than 5000 feet high, with peaks running up to 7000 feet. From the summit of this divide the Pacific ocean. Coast and Siskiyou mountains and Mount Shasta can be seen. It Is to open this country to the tourist that more trails are sought. Improvement Held Easentlnl. From the fact that a good-sized stream comes out of a small crevice In the lower Caves, and also from the formation and the geology of this country, It is inferred that there are many undiscovered chambers and passages. A competent person will be asked to make a careful survey of The interior of the Caves to decide if exploration would pay. Also if Is planned to have the Caves guide ex tend some of the passageways thai are blocked and which appear as If Jhey could be opened. The forest service this winter is pending $11000 fur the installation of iron ladders for the benerit of the tourist, many of which have already been put in place. All the Improvements mentioned are recommended Dy the rorest serv- i 1 V..... ...... a onAU-r. Aa-'l eritial for the safety, health and con venience -of the public.

Official invitations of Gov ernor Olcott and Mayor Baker were sent to A. R. Talbot of Lincoln, Neb., head consul of the lodge. Although the great majority of the membership of the Modern Woodmen lies in the Mississippi valley, Mr. Talbot has agreed to give Oregon's invitation every consideration. The fact that the order has never held its national convention in the west Is ground enough to warrant the hold ing of the head camp in the exposl tion city In 1925. local members de clare. They express every intention of. pressing their case for full con sideration at every opportunity. Mr. Talbot Sends Answer. Mr. Talbot has headed the Modern Woodmen of America, a fraternal beneficiary order with a membership of more than 1,000,000 continuously since his first election In June. 1903. Mr. Talbot was a law partner of William Jennings Bryan from 1887 to 196. During President Wilson's first administration Mr. Talbot was appointed as United States peace commissioner to Bolivia under a treaty providing for international commissions of Inquiry to adjust dis putes arising between foreign nations and the United States.

"You are very gracious and kind Indeed to extend this invitation to us, and we appreciate It most thoroughly. I will take pleasure In eubmitting this Invitation, with other cor respondence concerning this subject which I have had with his honor, the Mayor of Portland, to the executive consul or committee of this society, which will determine the location of the next camp. Great Handicap Faced. "I would be very glad personally, !f conditions were such that we might hold this session in your state at the time mentioned. I realize, however, the rreat handicap which confronts our society In "the Item ot traveling expenses in taking from 600 to 1000 delegates from the Mississippi valley to Portland for this occasion. Our large membership is In the Mississippi valley and we have heretofore se lected some city easily accessible in this valley for our head camp city. All of these things, thererore, will have to be carefully considered in ar riving at a conclusion touching this matter of location. "Be assured, however, that we are not unmindful of your kindness, and desite to thank you and the state of Oregon and the members of our so ciety in your commonwealth for the interest manifested and for the kind ness extended." PENSION FIGHT IS BEGUN IDAHO SEEKS TO COMPEL BOISE BOARD TO PAY. Payment by Teachers Not Com pulsory and Contention Made That Plan Is Impracticable. BOISE. Idaho, Jan. 28. (Special.) The action of the stats of Idaho through the attorney-general's office in demanding that the Boise school board pay the amount due the teach ers' retirement, or pension, fund has opened a case which involves every teacher in Idaho and which promises to develop into a legal controversy. In reality the teachers' retirement WALL PAPER TAPESTRY PER ROLL I O Regular $1.50 Miller Paint Co. 172 First St. ARONSON'S Broadway and Washington The Jewelry Ilouse of Traditional Quality. law is at stake. It was placed on the statutes of Idaho after a hard fight that extended over a period of years and its purpose Is to protect and to provide for teachers who have been long in the service m this state, mak ing it possible for them to retire at old age and have something on which to live. The law provides that a sum of money amounting to one-half of 1 per cent of the teacher's annual salary shall be paid into a pension fund by every teacher in the state. This fund makes It possible to pay teachers who have taught continuously for 25 years and who are past the age of 50 years, an annual income of 4700 for the remainder of their lives. Under the provisions of the law, a teacher with a salary of $1000 per annum pays into the fund $5 per year. The law also obligates the school clerk to collect this fee from the teachers from their annual Income, but does not stipulate that the teach er has to pay it. The claim Is made that this condition is not favorable to the teachers of the state. The school board of Boise asserts that the law is not workable and is not prac ticable. While the board paid the amount due the fund from the teach ers, it marked across the warrant that It was paying it under protest. The" state refused to accept the war rant with this protest.

The Washington state fish commis sion has not only indorsed the Oregon anti-purse seine law, but has gone a step further and prohibited trolling for salmon in coast waters over which it has control. Such is the an nouncement contained in a dispatch received tonight by Senator A. W. Norblad, father of the Oregon anti purse seine law, from Ernest A. Sea borge, fish commissioner of Wash ington. The telegram says the Wash ington commission has promulgated an order prohibiting the fishing for salmon with any gear whatsoever, along the coast of Washington, In the waters of the Pacific ocean over which Washington has sole Jurisdic tion or over which that state has con current jurisdiction with Oregon. This Includes the mouth of the Co lumbia river. The commission has instructed the attorney-general to prepare the or der in legal form and it will be ready within the next few days.

Under the Oregon law the trollers can fish during the coming season off the Oregon coast but the order announced today forbids them fishing along the Washington shore this year. The action of the Washington com mission bas brought joy to the hearts of everyone interested in the fishing Industry locally, as this, coupled with the Oregon law, is expected to put an effectual stop to the destruction of salmon off the mouth of the Co lumbia river. "This order comes at an oppor tune time," said Senator Norblad, "as we are hoping thia spring and sum mer to get returns from the millions of sockeye salmon which were re leased by the Oregon fisheries de partment four years ago. The check ing of purse-seine fishing off the mouth of the Columbia will permit these sockeyes to enter the river and they will without question aid ma terially in building up the pack to something like its former propor tions." That the individual members of the Washington commission were alive to the necessity ot action to save the fisheries is indicated by a letter which Commissioner Edward P. Blake wrote to State Senator Meserve say ing," the whole matter is certainly in very bad shape and if the fishing in dustry is to be preserved .the people themselves should awaken to the ob stacles, which the authorities in this state will have to overcome."
