stated that any time If Ashland

Pacific Highway 5
Paving Progressing
Practically all the road from
Grants Pass to the California line
will be paved by spring Is the Infor
mation given out by C. A. Dunn
chief engineer of the Oskar Huber
company who has the paving con
tract of the Pacific highway south
of Ashland. A good share of tho
grading Is completed and all of the
paving gangs will be In futl opera
tion next week, barring no accident
Four and one-half miles of the road
ibetween Gold Hill and Grants Pasj
afre already paved, as Is about
mile of the Tolo sector.
According to Mr. Dunn paving will
start on the Siskiyou next week,
wherto large forces of men have been
engaged In grading and preparing
the roadway for the final treatment
which will make that highway one
of the finest in thie coast country.
This extension will start from tho
pavement on East Main Btreet to
the'CaUfdtala line and 'will be rush
led along a rapidly as possible be
fore the bad weather starts In.
In paving the roadway over the
Slskiyous a "cushion" Is laid ahead
of the paving proper In order to
make thJe road in that section pas
sable and that travelers will npt be
discommoded. By doing this 10 per
cent of .the paving efficiency Is sac
rificed, but motorists ati thus able
to avoid making a detour, and resi
dents here realize what a detour
over the mountain would mean, as
that section Is well known to the
trailing public land it would be
considered a great feat to take an
auto over that way. The only de
tours necessary in this strfetch of
Toad building will be around the
bridges and culverts under construc
tion in the floor of the valley. .
The highway extension over tin
mountain will be btthuliIc pave
ment, 16 feet wide and 20 feet at
the curves Whfcn completed this
will profrabry be one of the finest
pieces of paved mountain roads in
the United States. . -.. . '

by Lloyd N. Adamson of Les Molln

prophesy that within the next two

grow.. If a person visits friends, and
these friends lay themselves out to
entertain themand give them all
the benefits of their advantages,
that person is bound to love and re
spect those friends, and it is the
same way with Ashland. All tho
comforts and attractions that are be
ing made for strangers here Is cer
tain to' draw them here. Ashland
has a boom on already, but you peo
ple don't realize it."

resident and still holds some prop
erty in the city. "Ashland will get
me again eventually," he remarked.
"The glorious climate and pine-scented
air make this the ideal spot for a
home."
