"Adopted June 7, 1917." Road Work Started In Josephine County C. C. Kelley, assistant engineer of the state highway department, with a crew of fourteen men, last week started work on locating a permanent grade for the Pacific Highway be tween Grants Pass and the Douglas county line. Mr. Kelley C3timat.es that the work will take about four weeks. The line will eliminate all short curves and any grade in excess of 6 per cent. The survey will meet the Douglas county road a3 projected by the state highway department. Now. that tho road bonds have carried, It Is expected that Josephine county will promptly put Itself in shape to take advantage of the in creased money available for road pur poses. Plans are already being made I for the Improvement of the Pacific Highway between Grants Pass and the Jackson county line, and the do ing of considerable work on the road up the Illlnoln valley.

Buys Allies' Flags At a meeting of the celebration committee last Friday evening It was decided that a special effort should be made and no expense- spared In malting the decorations of the streetB of such an elaborate character as never beforo attempted In southern Oregon, Efforts had been made to rent flags of the allied nations, but upon in vestigation it was found that there are very few new flags of these na tions to be had and it was impossible to rent them, so tho committee bought outright over a hundred dol lars' worth of them and will use them for street decoration this year, after which they will be stored for future occasions. Due to the fact that the emblems of all nations we are allied with are to lie used In the decorative scheme, It will lie unique and very much dif ferent from anything in the past. Mrs. Sam McNalr has been appoint ed chairman of the committee to re quest the business houses to decorate their store fronts and buildings. It Is expected that the American flag will be displayed everywhere and that it will be impossible to find a home In Ashland, even In the far comers of our city, where there Is not to be found at least one good sized flag of this kind. The unfurling of the largest flag in Oregon will probably take place on the morning of the 4th. The sou venir buttons which are being sold for 10 cents will help defray the ex penses of getting 200-foot, poles, the cable and the expense of setting these poles. Here Is a chance for the chil dren of Ashland to make a little spending money between now and the end of the celebration by selling these buttons, which may be had by apply ing to Harry Hosier, who will extend I a liberal credit to any of the children in order to give th,em a start. There Is a good margin of profit for the children. Investigate. Streamers Will Light Way to Park At a meeting of the city council Thursday evening it was voted to street to the station and on Mill ' street from the Plaza to the Lithla ' park four.tatna. The streamers which are already up and have been put into use make the downtown business section one blaze of light at night. Everybody Is very well pleased with th,e success of the Illumination and 1 the new buy will be considered a jhappy one. Little other business of Importance was transacted at Thursday's council meet. An ordinance licensing the jit neys for the roundup time, in order to control prices charged and prevent price gouging, was discussed and will be taken up again at the meeting on June 19. Fire Truck Climbs For Small Blaze The fire truck was called out at 30 this afternoon In order to ex tinguish a small blaze at the house owned by Mis. Julius Cole on Ash land street at the top of Euclid av enue. The house was unoccupied, but the stove was being used by the H. B. Warren family, who are caring for the orchard, and a defective flue gave cause to a little blaze which did some damage to the roof but was eas ily extinguished by the chemicals. The house is located at one of the highest points In tho city limits, but tho big truck experienced no difficul ty in making tho climb. Plan Stupendous 4th of July Parade According to the tentative program as mapped out by the celebration committee, there probably will be but one parade and all the efforts of the citizens put into that, instead of three as last year. The only other parade so far given any consideration Is that of a baby buggy and doll buggy pa rade on the morning of the 3rd. This could be made a very successful event If the mothers of the little ones show any disposition to co-operate. The parado committee with Chaun- ccy Stoddard as chairman and I. Fin ley and J. EdW. Thornton as assist ants will have complete charge. There Is every reason to believe that the patriotic and decorated automo bile parade on the morning of the 4th will be one of the largest and most elaborate of any ever held in this part of the state.
