These travelers were on thfeir way to Ohio Intending to spend the greater part of the summer in making the trip, They' stated that the most difficult Toad" tbey had struck was that going thru Cow Creek Canyon, altho they got thru, and had made the run to Ashland from Roseburg that day. Another party was camping in the park the same evening and had come from Redding, Cat., that day. They stated that the road thru that sec tion, while very rough, was passable. The latter party started out Wed nesday morning on their way north, but at Central Point they encounter ed trouble with their car and re turned here in order to take advan tage of the excellent camping facili ties of th? Ashland auto part. This, they remarked, is the best camping ground they had struck anywhere along tlio road, and they remained here o)r another night. Dry State People Can Afford Clothes Lfcroy Ashcraft, who recently left for McCloud, Calif., where he is em ployed as scaler for the McCloud Lumber company, is scaling 200,000 feet of lumber a day. This plant is one of the Immense lumler opera tions of Northern California, and they are at present cleaning out the tracts and operating them as rapidly as possible. In a redent letter to his mother, Mrs. Pi, L. Ashcraft, Leroy told of an amusing occurrence incident to his receiving a consignment of clothing from home by parcels post.'' The ar rival of the mail Is an event in camp, and when a sack was thrown off thie tcaln a few evenings ago the whole pppulace followed the carrier to the poBtoffice to await the distribution. When the pouch was finally open ed the parcel of clothing for Mr. Ashcraft was the only thing revealed. But the fact that one man owned so many clothes was sufficiently thrill ing to offset thj disappointment of not receiving mail, and after Mr. Ashcraft had hung his wardrobe In his room it was viewed by a number of admiring citizens of the camp. "Gee!" one man was heard to re mark "You'd know that man came from Oregon. After Bhe goes dry the first of July. I bet I'll have a lot of clothes, too." A little daughter was born to Mr. and Mrs. Guy Coblelgh of Phoenix, on Wednesday, April 30, at the home of Mrs. Pottier, on Morton street. The little lady tipped the beam at ten pounds and her name is Iva Max lne. Dr. Malmgren was the attend ing physician and Mrs. Hattie Lynch was the practical nurse. Mother and babe are both doing fine. W i ASHLAND. OREGON, Need Not Fear For Highway Contract When the project of building the Medfor-Eagle Point highway wps consldersd ono of the members of the highway commission expressed the fear that It could not be accomp lished this summer, as there might be no contractors found to under take thle work. E. V. Carter, Judge G. A Gardner and W. H. Gore, the county representatives who met with the commission to urge the adoption of the project, assured the commiv slon that there need be no fear on that score. If no contractors bid for the project, the representatives stat ed, the county and the people them selves would furnish workmen to build the highway.. This assurance allayed the fears of the highway commission, and K. E. Hodgman, di vision highway engineer, has made (be survey and bids will be let after his reports ano made to the highway commission who in turn will report their findings to the post roads de partment of the government for ap proval. City Still Fails in Reaching Quota l'p to the time of going to press today, Friday, Ashandf subscrip tions to the Victory Loan has reached $145,000. This is a very good show ing for only the second week of the campaign, and lbaves but $30,000 yet to be raided before the quota Is reached, yet the executive committee feel that Ashland will not have , done her duty at her last call for a war loan Jf her citizens do not subscribe to this loan with the same sponta neity that marked the other loans. An erroneous interpretation placted upon the announcement that over subscriptions will not be taken may bo the reason for some to hold back at this time. Do not worry about ovljcveubscriptions until every coun-i ty, town and hamlet has been over subscribed The treasury depart - ment will look after over-subscrip- tions. Instances have been deported where people declined to subscribe in the belief that their district was already over-subscribed, when it was still short of its quota. WAR O.N RODENTS BEGIN IN EARNEST Ira Gabrlelson, chief of the federal biological survey for Oregon, and a crew of assistants, arrived In Jack- son county this week from CorvaI!iB and will remain here for some time to conduct a war of extermination on the rodent pest In connection with th3 farmers of the county. Tho gov- ernment men will first mix up two tons of poison to add to tho two al- ready mixed by County Agent Cate and the farm bureau and two tons more will be mixed by the latter Thn the start will be begun to poi son! the ground squirrels on the five mile strop of government and patent ed lands around the edge of the coun ty, beginning first at the southern extremity. Boy Scouts Reach Last Friday a number of Boy Scouts started for Mt. Ashland Whjen a heavy shower started they made camp below the falls and the next morning went on to the end of the road where they were Joined by morta scouts. About noon five of the more hardy lads took the trail, find- it a rather hot climb till they reached Hummingbird Spring, where they Immediately struck four or five foet of snow,. and from there on the snow increased. Walking was relatively easy until Grlbbel's Cabin was reach ed, as In most places the snow was hard enough to walk upon without sinking very much. But at Grlbbel's the snow was probably oen or twelve feet deep and soft so that at nearly every step on'e would sink to his knees or more. But tired end hun Tl lT TX FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1919 77th Division Has Landed in New York Ray Murphy, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Murphy of this city, has arrived In Now York, according to a telegram received from him the 28th, by his parent He will remain In New York until after May 6 to partici pate In a parade of the 77th Divis ion of which he belongs. The 77th Division is practically madt up of New York men with only a few from other sections, and New York city will give a rousing demonstration and welcome to her returned heroes. Major General Alexander, command er of the 77th, speaks highly of this division, which Is the only one that went clear thru the Argonne Forest batdle and was on the Job at the signing of the armlstico. On his ar rival In New York with his division General Alexander said: "I want to tell you that I have such an affec tion for the 77th Division that if I had to talk about it I wouldn't know when to Btop. Mind you, I do not say that the members of the division won the war, but they never were called upon to do a thing but it was done. This division Is mighty close, to my feelings." German Made Bombs Are Sent to Officials NEW YORK, May 1. The police today received Information from the naval Intelligence offices that the construction of the bombs sent 'in the mailB to prominent persons show ed a startling resemblance in opera tion and principle to the type of Ger- man mines found by the- navy off the coast Agents of tho department of Jus ticb expressed their belief that the Infernal machines were of German origin and possibly Imported from Germany They said that anarchists in this country could not obtain the fulminate of mercury used in the manufacture of tho bombs. Thlrty-Ix bombs have, been dellv- , ered or Intercepted In various cities. postmaster Patten said that cvld'-'nt- ly the packages were mailed 'with a ,' view of reaching addresses on or about May 1. This Is Indicated by the fact that parcels reaching the Pacific coast bear- the postmark of April 23. Those detained here were marled April 26. With discovery and frustration of a nation-wide bomb conspiracy yes terday against lives of prominent I Americans, every federal and munl- Jcipal government agency was at work today in an attempt to trace the i authors of the terrorist plot and to I guard against thte "Reds' " boast of a country-wide surprise May day. Orders went yesterday to all post- al employes to be on watch for bus piclous packages, and this together with widespread publicity, is count ed upon to prevent delivery of any of the bomb parcels that may lie In the mails. . .

Oia of the leading features trans- jacted at this meeting was a resolu tion passed Indorsing tho soldiers and sailors educational bill which will come up for legislation in the future. Tho educators of the county and this 4 -ctlon of the state are much Interested In this movement, and will work earnestly for the passing of the measure Schools Asked to Honor Soldier Dead Urging that no community should let Memorial day paBS this year with out a fitting observance, State School Supeprlntendent' Churchill has prepared the Oregon Memorial Annual for distribution to the schools of the state. For possible use lu programs the book contains prose s:id poetry gems from eminent American statesmen and authors. In a foreword to th'e teachers, Super intendent Churchill says: ' . ' "Memorial day this year has a wider meaning than It ever had be fore. Sacred as the day has been In our national II because of the mem ory of the sacrifices of those who have given their llveg for the estab lishment of the principles of Ithorty and justice in our helovtal land, this year Its meaning has been broadened and enriched by our participation In the world war. Along with our own soldiers, men of other nations have fought and died that tlioso principles might le established thruout the whole world. "It is fitting, then, that In our ob servance of Memorial day this year we give thought to Its widening scope, and that we rVmler tribute to tlie memory of that vast multitude of men of all nations, who in the irecent war made the supreme sacri fice as soldiers of tli army of the ifiht. "With this added weighty reason fpr the observance of Memorial day, no community should let the day pass without racing recognition And I can conceive of no recognition moi fit than the formal observance of It In tho school room. In our schools lies the hope of the nation There Is no problem bofore us as a nation today but needs, for Its. suc cessful solution, an educated liody of citizens, with a common back ground of knowledge and of rfdeala It Is eminently right that the schools should be the first to take advan tage of this opportunity to Inculcate, In old and young alike, Ideals of true citizenship and of trute patriot ism. "There Is a wealth of material fpr a program this year. That given in tho pamphlet Is but a portion of what is available, and Is intended to be suggestive merely. It ought to be possible for every school to have the best Memorial day program this year It has ever had." SPKCIAL KKKSION OF LAWMAKERS I'NLIKKLY No special sesslou of the legisla ture will be called during the Incum bency of Governor Olcott unless an emergency arises to cause a public clamor for an extraordinary session. This. In effect, Is the pronounce ment of the govbrnor relative to statements from other sources that a special session might be necessary to provide state funds to mieet tho national employment ' situation, whereby the govenjmont will match whatever amounts ure appropriated by the states.
