Active work In the Crater Lake na

be used in connecting the Pinnacles
road, built last year, with the old
road, and also in extending the for
mer northerly along the rim of the
lake. One will be used between the
Klamath entrance and headquarters.
as also between the latter point and
the lake and on the road to Medford.
The last gradeleading to the rim
of the lake, with a maximum of 30
per cent, has been entirely eliminat-j
ed by the completion of a new one
with easy curves and a grade of 10
per cent. From the foot of this
grade to the Klamath entrance will
be graded and drained at once, on
the completion of which work will
commence to the west, and if condi
tions will permit, grading will be
completed to the Medford entrance.
In any avent the switchback, com
monly known as the corkscrew, will
be eliminated before the season
closes. It is expected that the pro
posed road around the rim will be so
far advanced this season that next
year it will be possible for automo
bilists to visit not only the pinna
cles, but to extend their tours to the
vicinity of Mount Scott and the Wineglass.

Squabble Over
Railroad Taxes
Under the interpretation recently
put upon the tax laws by the State
Tax Commission, Jackson county is
hard hit this year on account of the
refusal of the Southern Pacific Rail
road Company to pay its tax assess
ment on the old government grant
lands which it acquired in taking
over the property of the old Oregon
and California Railroad Company.

old and embarrassing problem of
transporting supplies and building
materials.
The amount and character of work
to be accomplished under direction
of the superintendent depends en
tirely upon the amount of money ap
propriated by congress, and as the
appropriation bills have not yet been
even considered, no definite plans
can be outlined. Last year the ap
propriation amounted to $7,500. In
view of the fact that in 1915 the San

I. . . . . . j:: t
lie in Jackson county amounts to ap
proximately $70,000. Payment of
this amount has been refused by the
railroad company pending decision of
the case now before the courts. On
the other hand the state of Oregon
has an interest in the tax moneys
thus tied up and it is clamoring for
its due regardless of whether the
county collects from the Southern Pa
cific Company or not. The amount
due the state out of the $70,000 is
about $13,000. In regard to pay

"Under the decree of Judge Wol

this will be the longest season for
active work in the field, a very
greatly increased appropriation could
be used to advantage, and an extra
effort should be made to get it.
If the appripriatlon will permit,
the trail to the lake will be so im
proved as to permit the use of burros,
and also a trail of that character will
be constructed to the summit of Gar
field Peak, from which one of the fin
est views in Oregon is obtained, and
to which an automobile road will
eventually be constructed.
Since the close of last season sev
eral new orders have been issued by

lands under the present condition of
the title.
'We have asked the attorney gen
eral to make a careful investigation
of the matter and give us his written
ooinion thereon. It is our intention
at an early date to send specific ad
vice to the assessors, setting out what
we believe to be the proper procedure
as to these lands for the year 1914.
"In the event these lands are en
tered on the assessment rolls of the
several counties, it appears that the
tax commission would be powerless
to make any deduction or allowance
for them in equalizing between the
counties and apportioning the state
taxes. Section 3646, Lord's Oregon
Laws, says that in no case shall any
deduction or abatement be made
from the apportionment of any coun
ty on account of the delinquency of
any taxpayer, or error or omission in
the assessment roll."
Discussing the situation as it ap
plies to Josephine county, the Grants
Pass Courier says: "Should the rail
road company win on its appeal to
the supreme court, the back taxes
will, of course, be made up with in
terest by the company before the
three years' period of redemption ex
pires. If title remains in the govern
ment. the lands will not be taxable
till they have passed into private own
ership. v.hich would be several years
if they are opened to homestead en
try. The question of taxes is not the
dominant one as concerns these tands.
however. Held by the railroad com
pany, they have remained undevel
oped, and the country has been re
tarded through the policy of the hold
ers. They should be given into pri
vate ownership for development at
the earliest possible moment, not for
the taxea they would yield, but for
the crops of alfalfa, of fruit and of
grain."
Property Approved
For City Market
In all probability the city of Ash
land will have a public market all
its own this season. At the council
meeting Tuesday night the special
committee appointed to look up a
site recommended one that is cen
trally located and Its report was ap
proved and recommended to the
finance committee for action.
The lot recommended for a public
market is the Blevlns property about
one block north and across the street
from the place where the market was
located last year. The property has
a frontage of 118 feet on First street
and 176 on C street. It can be bought
for $2000.
The committee in charge are Coun
cllmen Beaver and Cornelius and
Messrs. H. G. Enders, D. L. M inkier
and Stuart Saunders. They will look
Into the matter further and action
will be taken next Friday night at
an adjourned n.eetlng of the council.
The lot will also be used for the
much-needed hltchracks tor farmers.

The promised entertainment for the' mines
school children came off Monday
evening as scheduled. The hall was
well filled by 8 o'clock and a few
moments later an old-fashioned
school bell was rung by Mr. Hazel
ton and his pupils began to enter the
hall by the back door. His pupils
were of various ages, ranging from
30 to 70. If you had Judged from
their clothing you would have put the
ages at from 6 to 18. It was a char,
acteristic bunch of pupils. Pieces
that were spoken in childhood com
posed most of the program. The au
dience was kept in a roar of laughter
almost from the beginning of the pro
gram. To say that the children en
joyed it is putting It mildly. While
there was a good bit of nonsense con
nected with it, yet some one has said
that "a little nonsense now and then
is relished by the best of men."
