Klamath Falls Strong for Boosting "It was some booster meeting." This is the way Secretary Lewis Wylde of the Klamath Chamber of Commerce spoke of the" big tri county meeting held in Medford Tues day night, says the Northwestern. Mr. Wylde, A. A. Bellman, Percy Evans and Fred Houston returned last night from this gathering. The others remained to look after busi ness and visit in the Rogue rivA town. That it was the greatest booster meeting ever held in southern Ore gon is the unanimous verdict of the four returning delegates out of the fifteen who went from here. "Everybody was enthused with the booster spirit and the result of this gathering will be worth many dollars to this entire section of the state," said Secretary Wylde. "It was the general feeling that Klamath, Jack son and Josephine should get togeth er in a general plan of boosting the scenic beauties of the country, and instead of each community working for its own selfish ends, all commun ities will work in the future for the joint community interests. In this way it is believed a great good will be accomplished for the entire coun try. One of the objects of the com bination spirit is to boost Crater Lake by every possible means and the tour ist travel to it and the other scenic beauties of southern Oregon." Mr. Wylde said a large delegation from that part of the country is ex pected to come here early in June, when delegates from each publicity body will get together with a view to mapping out further plans for the work started at the Medford meeting. The plan as now outlined is to form a league of some sort with the sec tions to be benefited represented by the beet booster talent to be found, this league to work in harmoay and co-operation toward boosting tourist travel into Klamath, Jackson and Josephine counties.

As we went along we came to the concrete mixer. This is a little out of the ordinary. The engineer sits in his litjle room among his levers, he pulls one and the machine backs up a few, feet, another lever and the coarse concrete comes forth and men spread it out, and another lever and the surfacing comes forth. No wheel barrows, no long distances, the men standing beside the machine and shoveling, as everything is within reach. The haul is done by a big road engine which hauls a carload at a trip. The mixer and its crew of men complete 350 feet of. paving a day. That is not the average to date, but it has been done. Like a heavy freight, it does not go a mile a min ute as soon as ordered, but it takes time to get it In motion. On leaving the mixer behind we proceeded to ride over the new road, and it was no fun at lal. It is cov ered with about two inches of sand and one man is kept busy with a hose keeping the sand wet bo the cement sets under dampness, which keeps it from cracking. Every 50 feet stripe of tar paper are put across the road bed, which divide it into blocks, and this allows for expansion, and in case of damage one block can be replaced without disturbing the "rest. The sand will be removed when the ce ment is thoroughly hardened. "It is ewll worth one's while to go over the road and see what is lx;ing done. We arrived at home about 3 p. m., perfectly willing to put the wheel into our back room and let it stay there for several days. Ladles' suit sale continues at Enders'. Bu- yours now. IXKJAL S. P.

It was enough then. Times are different now. Optical science has progressed. To meet present de mands we have now more than 25 times as many lenses, in four sizes, for rimless and inserted, flat and deep torlc. We have contracted for and have on the way a complete set of edge grinding, cutting and drilling ma chines, as well as a much greater stock of rough lenses, whereby pre scriptions ran be filled the same day, whether torics, compounds or simple spheres, big or little. This added convenience, together with our constantly growing practice, bringing increased skill, should ap peal to those who visit out-of-town opticians at considerable expense of time and money, of whom we ask a visit and trial.
