Gates Medford, Oregon Says Ashland Auto Camp Best on Coast Portland Journal: What towns of Southern Oregon have done for the automobile tourist Is worthy of emu lation, according to H. A. Fredrich, who with Mrs. Fredrich has just com pleted a five weeks' tour of the south covering 3100 miles in Oregon and California. Roseburg, Crants Pass and Ash land now have well established places where the tourist may unpack his dunnage and make himself at home. Jlr. and Mrs. Fredrich were not equipped for camping so used the hotels, but in these places saw cars from every corner of the continent, eonie of which enjoyed the spots and opportunities so much that they stayed several days. At Rof.enurg the traveler will find a well appointed kitchenuette, with electric cookers, water, light and all the little conveninces that make the tour more comfortable. The camp Is in a well kept little park and is very easy of access from the town and the road. Ashland's Park Tipst At Grants Pass one of the pret tiest Bpols has been well cleaned up and placed at the disposal of the motorist. There are no conveniences furnished here but the man who In sists on roughing it and building the regulation camp fire and all that goes with it will find this more to his liking. Ashland's park Is probably the best on the road between San Francisco and Portland. It is at the further end of the city park and is well sup plied with working devices. Here there is a kitchenette with 16 Indlvl lnnl pus stoves. The traveler on coming in Is assigned one of these and there is no resultant confusion caused by everyone trying to get to the place at once. This spot has proven so popular that many ma chines have been there for weeks. The Lithla springs in this park make antoher reason for the loitering of tourists from as far off as the New England states. Many Oregon people are camped In this park. The grocery folk come every day and it has every other ad-'J vantage to induce the motorist to spend a little while near Ashland. The next camp it at Red Bluff on the Sacramento river. This Is well kept but offers nothing further than a rare touch of natural beauty; Sacramento is another popular spot with the tourist. In this park will be seen hundreds of cars from everywhere. This park ever has shower baths for the dusty' traveler and is so comfortable that transcon tinental tourists especially rest here a few days before going further. From there on south camp is struck wherever possible as no other places have been assigned. The roads all through California are better than ever before. The troublesome part from Hornbrook down the Sacramento has been well ironed out until a broad road now carries the autolst from the Oregon line south. In one or two places de tours still are necessary because of some road work. High-class dinner at the Bungalow every evening from 5 to 8 o'clock. A Clenr-Out Sale. A line of staple and fancy slow niovlug silverware at special prices. Our plan: The first day, July 29, regular price; every day thereafter we take off one-tenth till the ninth day, when, for Instance, a $10 article will be only $1. That will be August 9th. Watch the prices go down!' But remember, your neighbor may beat you to It. H. L. WHITED, 20-2t The Jeweler. IXTERURBAN AUTOCAR CO.

Nature's Methods In Building These SeasheU Monuments. Coral reefs surround many of the Is lands In the Pacific. They protect thi lowlands from the washing of the waves, and the still waters inclosed by them are the only harbors of refuge fur ships. The reefs themselves furnish the greatest peril to navigation, and If there were no Inlet through which a vessel could enter their protected cir cle they would be a danger aud nothing else. But almost every reef has such an Inlet. It Is a necessary result of the laws under which the forces of nature work. To understand this wo must see how those reefs uro formed. 1 Chemically the reef corals are almost pure carbonate of lime, the substance of ordinary limestone and marble. The reef grows as the shell of the oyster or ny other shellfish grows. It is itself the common and undivided shell of In numerable polypi, or minute Insects, wnicu are ucing produced ana are dying In successive generations. These tiny beings get all their llvtng from the waters of the sea. It Is from this source, also that they derive the salts of lime from which they secrete the bony structure that remains after the animal Is dead. The coral polypi cannot live In fresh water. Their, food supply is brought to them by the waves and currents of the sen. As a result It is found that direct ly opposite the mouth of the stream from the island the reef does not grow There will be the inlet to the Inclosed waters. Los Angcleg.Ttmes. BOONE'S PLACE IN HISTORY A Figure That Stands For All That Is Typical of Pioneer Days. Kentucky's rich country bud original ly been a neutral zone, threaded with Indian trails, u territory where none might dwell, but through which all were at liberty to move in hunt or war. The shade of its forests was so dense, the story of Its white settlement so full of tragedy, that It was kuown as the "dark and bloody ground." The great character of Its pioneer period had been Daniel Boone, whose picturesque, half legendary figure stands for all that Is typical In that vanished phase of our national life. Born in Pennsylvania, he bad grown to manhood on the banks of the Yadkin In North Carolina, bad built his but and married early, after the fashion of the locality. But be found tilling the ground dull work when the forest called. Expeditions Into It to hunt game or to make salt at the salt licks, where animals and men alike went to satisfy their cravings, only fastened its do minion more firmly upon him, and when a wandering Indian trader stray ed across his pathway and told blm of the rich country to the west called Kentucky, which. In the language of the red men, meant "at the bead of tbe river," or "Long river," he gave him self up to it with a forror that was lit tle short of fatalism, believing himself "ordained of God to settle the wilder ncss."

Moreover, tbe stone is an actual time record of the work done for a long period In an English coal mine. Tbe "Sunday stone," as it Is called was removed from a colliery drain When tbe miners were at work the water running through tbe drain left a deposit colored blnek by the coal dust but when no work was being done tbe water ran down clear and left a white deposit These deposits in the course of time built up the stone Each day of work left a black streak Immediately followed by u white streak made during the night Wide white streaks Indicate the holidays and Sun days. ' Unanimous Consent There was a wedding In a certain church the other day, and, as usual, the minister In the course of the ceremony said: "If any one has aught to say why this couple should not be Joined In tbe holy bonds of wedlock let htm now spenk or forever hold his peace."

A Plea For Really Neutral Textbooks In Every Country. nistory iu every country Is so taught as to mugnlfy that country. Children U'uru to believe that their own country bus been always In the right and nl most always victorious, that It bus pro duced almost all the great men and that it is in all respects superior to all other countries. Since these be liefs are fluttering they arc easily ab sorbed and hardly ever dislodged from Instinct by later knowledge. To take a simple and almost trivial example: Tbe fucts about the battle of Waterloo fire known iu great detail and with minute ..accuracy, but the facts as taught in elementary schools will .be widely different iu England, France and Germany. The ordinary hiigltsii uoy imagines that the Prus sians played hardly uny part;, the ordl nary German boy imagines that Wei llngton was practically defeated when the day was retrieved by Blucher's gal lantry, ir the facts were tuught ac curately m both countries national pride would uot be fostered to the same extent, neither nation would feel so certulu of victory iu the event of war aud the willingness to fight would be diminished. ' It is this result which has to be pre vented. Every state wishes to foster national pride and is conscious that this cannot be done by unbiased his tory. The defenseless children are taught by distortions and suppressions and suggestions. The false ideas as to tbe history of the world which are taught in the various countries are of a kind which fosters strife uud serves to keep alive a bigoted nationalism. If good relations between states were desired one of the first steps ought to be to submif all teaching of history to an International commission which should produce neutral textbooks free from the patriotic bias which Is -now demanded everywhere.

A careful reading of literature per. talnlng to Alaska prepared me In part for what the Journey was bound to dis close, but seeing Is the only sense that cau give knowledge aud secure appre ciation of the grandeur, the sublimity, the fascinating beauty of mountain, sea, stream, fiord, falls, islands, for ests', cloud and the glorious color ef fects which the dazzling rays of the sun bring Into existence. In connec tion with all these is a land of en chantment for all who love and can ap preciate nature. Cook Inlet, with Its arms and reach es, has many bewildering channels, re sulting from the numerous ragged is lands. Tbe forbidding and embattled shores rising into lofty mountains and at present swathed in white almost to tbe water's edge possess a virility, a grandeur and sublimity which require the most poetic Imagination and most facile pen even faintly to portray. Tbe grand panorama reaches Its climax in Mount McKinley, monarch of the North American continent With its altitude of 20,-lGO feet It stands alone in lofty pride and is distinctly visible' from the vessel notwithstanding tbe very, great distance. This fact well establishes the quality of the clarifled aud invigorating atmosphere of this far north country. The Thousand Islands with all their beauty would scarcely serve as a pre lude to the surpassing grandeur and loveliness of the many thousand Is lands that adorn tbe 3,000 miles of Alaskan coast The fiords of Norway. file farfamed glaciers of Switzerland. cannot compare with their counter parts to be found in Alaska in num ber, variety, size, color effect and all tbe qualities that give charm to these works of nature. lion.

An, equal number of eggs and onions are boiled together for about three hours daily on ten succes sive days, the eggs being slightly prick ed after each bull so that tbe Juice of the onions thoroughly permeates them. They are naturally as hard as bullets at the end of this treatment, but an Al banian will bolt down a huge plateful. helped down by lashings of olive oil. and then clamor for a second helping.
