"Will Live at Ias Angeles.
The Grants Pass Courier contains
the following report of a reception
to Rev. and Mrs. John MacAllister,
formerly of Ashland, who zo to Los
Angeles to make their home:
"Rev. and Mrs. John MacAllis
ter were tendered a reception at
Bethany Presbyterian church on
Thursday evening, previous to their
departure for their new hor.ie at Los
Angeles. Many of the members of
the church and congregation were
present and expressed their apprecia
tion of the jrood work done by Mr.
MacAllister during the few months
he has supplied the pulpit. Words
of commendation and appreciation
were spoken by George Riddle and
George Parker and pleasantly re
sponded to by Mrs. MacAllister.
Fruit punch and cakes vere served,
and a good time enjoyed by all pres
ent. During the several months Mr.
MacAllister has served the church as
temporary pastor he has made many
warm friends and his wife has also
entered so thoroughly into the work
that she will likewise be greatly
missed. This genial couple left Fri
day morning for Ashland and, after
a few days" visit with friends, will
go to Los Angeles to be with a son
and daughter."
Are Our Chickens Too Handsome?
Herbert Quick, editor of Farm and
Fireside, writes an article in the cur
rent issue of that publication, in
which he says that many American
chicken fanciers have been breeding
on the theory that fine feathers make
fine birds, which is not the truth.
Now they are confronted by (he fact
that the utility breeders of Australia
and England have been breeding for
laying and have beaten them. Mr.
Quick goes on to say:
"No work of a higher scientific
character or of more general utility
has ever been done in poultry than
that of Dr. Raymond Pearl of the
Main station. He has taught the
world how extraordinary laying
qualities are Inherited. He has giv
en us working plans for improving
the laying qualities of our poultry.
Nothing that has ever been done in
grain breeding, or any other plant
improvement, is more important eco
nomically. In a few years the breed
ers who still breed for feathers and
shape will be outclassed by those
who breed for only one thing eggs.
There will be record books as closely
kept as those of the horse and other
livestock breeders.
"Of course this will set up new
conditions which the present breed
ers will have to face. Many of them
are already facing it. The most of
them are already facing it. The most
of them are trying to keep their birds
up to exhibition standard as to out
ward appearance, and at the same
time breed for eggs from extraor
dinary laying strains, and with indi
vidual pedigrees. Maybe they can
succeed. If they do, they will have
done a fine thing in breeding. But!
I think it safe to predict that out of
the laying contests, and out of the
principles of heredity established by
Dr. Pearl and others, will come
breeds of laying hens, the breeders
of which will pay no more attention
to color and conformation than do
the breeders of the Pit Games. But
they will lay.
"The farmers are Interested in bet
ter laying whether the hens doing
It have any feathers at all or not."

Bowlby To Build Roads
(Continued from Page One.)
ing act passed by the last legislature
authorizing counties to issue road
bonds up to 2 per cent of their as
sessed valuation. Jackson county's
energetic action sets an example' for
other cpunties to follow.
"The present road over the Siski
you mountains, known as the 'Dollar
Hide toll road,' is bad. It is impass
able at times and has grades as high
as 20 to CO per cent. The maximum
grade on the new road will be 6 per
cent. We expect to have the entire
50 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 Francisco fair year.
Road Will Kiing Tourists.
"Jackson county people are expect
ing this road to bring many 1915
tourists into the county, and it will.
The county will get back more from
the tourists coming through by auto
mobiles than the entire road will
cost them. The highway passes
through Ashland, Medford, Central
Point, Gold Hill and Rogue River.
"The building of this road, partic
ularly the stretch over the Siskiyou
mountains, will not remove every dif
ficulty for autoists between Portland
and the California line, but it will
remove one bad obstacle. There still
will be a bad stretch through Doug
las county. The people of that coun
ty, 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 result
ed in the voting of the $500,000
bond issue, are: George Putnam, of
the Medford Mail Tribune; F. L.
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.
Other Counties May . Follow.. :
"As one deeply interested in good
roads I am especially pleased with
the public spirit displayed by Jack
son county," said Julius L. Meier,
president of the Columbia Highway
Association, 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 liberal.
"It is only a question of a few
years until every county in the stale
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 important."
"Jackson county has shown a won
derfully progressive spirit in voting
such a large bond issue," said Frank
B. Riley, 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 clamoring for roads as good. The
start has been made by Jackson
county and its peopple deserve much
credit."
Ashlanders at Table Itock.
Table Rock correspondence in Cen
tral Point Herald: Rev. Schwimley,
the Congregational minister at Ash
land, accompanied by his wife, the
male quartet of his church and oth
ers, making a party of 14, held ser
vices here Sunday evening. The ex
ercises were in the nature of a sa
cred concert. The music and singing
were of a high order and much en
Joyed by the congregation, which
would have been much larger were
it not for the absence in the moun
tains of many residents.
Mr. and Mrs. George Eubanks and
son of Ashland were welcome callers
at the Nealoni home Sunday. Mrs.
Eubanks, then Miss Goodyear, taught
a term of our school in 1885 and this
was her first visit to Table Rock
since those good (?) old days when
teachers were paid a salary of $25
per month for a three months' term
and had to board around among the
patrons of the school. Well, things
are different with us now and she
was surprised and pleased at the Im
provement. .The Tidings Is tor sale at W. M.

HIGHWAY TO BE SCENIC
State Assumes Engineering Ex
pense of New Road Over Biski.
. yous View- to He Sujierb.
Medford, Sept. 15. No time will
be lost in starting wort on the Pa
cific Highway, states Judge Tou
Velle. The road law authorizes the
issuance of 5 per cent county war
rants and it is probable that the
work will be carried on by warrants
until the formalities necessitated by
the bond issue are completed, the
warrants then being taken up by the
proceeds of the bonds.
Assistant State Highway Engineer
Kittridge, who with Engineer J. S.
Howard has been surveying the new
road over the Siskiyous, came to
Medford Thursday. The survey has
been turned, over to the state high
way commission, which at its last
meeting adopted a resolution reim
bursing Jackson county for the cost
of the preliminary surveys and as
suming cost of all engineering work,
thus showing state co-operation with
the county.
Engineer Kittridge states the route
selected will take one of the most
picturesque highways in the world.
The road runs along the skyline at
the summit of the Siskiyous for over
two miles, with the Rogue River Val
ley in view far below on one side and
the California valleys stretching in
the distance on the other, a surpass
ing panorama of mountain scenery.
No curve on the line has less than
150 foot radius, and only one such
curve. The line is free from forest,
and snow will not accumulate as In
the present toll road. The grade will
be 24 feet wide, with 16 feet paved.
Surveys will be completed within
a week so that bids can be called for
for construction work.
