San Prancisoo rate Praised, The fervor with which the American people have hacked the Panama canal, once it was well under way," said Mr. Fairbanks, "is attested by the fact that though the original cost was estimated at some $110,000,000, there has been no word of complaint though the total coat of the highway when completed will ' lave amounted to some $400,000,000 or more.

' "Speaking; of highways,' said the civics-president, "I am , convinced that within a comparatively, short time we hall have a fine national highway from one coast to the other. Carl O. Fisher, the automobile race promoter and enthusiast of Indianapolis, has al ready raised a big fund for such a high way, and informs, me that he sees his way clear to completion of the project It wUl be a sort of a 'main street,' so to speak, between the east coast and the west coast. The results of such a highway to tha general prosperity and welfare of the land will be enormous." (Mr. Fairbanks gives It as his opinion that "the Republican party will be re habilitated, that the contending factions ' wilt get together on a plane of mutual understanding and that , strife in its ranks will be overcome very soon. . -. The ex-vice president, who was In Portland at the opening of the Lewis and Clark exposition, and who has been here on several other occasion's, says that he is wonderfully impressed With the growth of the city. "The numerous, large substantial new business blocks recently erected, and In course of con struction," he said, "tell their own story. Portland-Is as well. In my opin- in the country."

Caught by the rear platform of the car as it made the complete circle, the auto was pushed backward into a tele phone pole. and was carried by the car to a position perpendicular to the car, and so firmly wedged between the pole and the platform that It was impossible to move either auto or car. It finally became necessary to call the wrecking crew, Jack the street car up and swing It to the other track. Traffic on the line was tied up for more than two hours. Wagner was driving north on Sixth street when he saw the car approaching from 'tha west. He put on the brakes but the street was so slippery on ac count of th rain and the gTease that the oar whirled about. Wagner remained in the auto until both came to a stop and narrowly escaped injury. The front and rear of the. auto were demolished and the step on the rear platform of the car was wrecked. Wagner had planned a cross continent tour to start today, but the accident haa caused a postponement of the trip. 0L..

Washington, June 30. That a large proportion of the farmers in the Med ford area do not pay enough attention to the' preparation of the soil before putting in their crops ia a conclusion set forth In the report on the soil but vey of this area, just issued by the de partment of agriculture. The territory Included in the survey lies In the cen tral and west central parts' of Jackson county and covers 44 square miles; Climate of the area is described as moderate, The report is accompanied by a soil map in colors, physical features of the landscape being also Included in the map. ' Fair crops of corn may be produced In the area, according- to the report The, crop is largely grown between the trees in young orchards. Alfalfa ranks next to wheat in acreage and to the yield of hay in the area. Only a small proportion of the alfalfa grown In the valley is Irrigated, the fields lying in the creek bottoms where water is avail able from adjacent streams. On these soils the yield of alfalfa will run from two to five tons to the acre. On the soils of- the valley plains similar yields may be expected. The report states that the oppor tunities to profitably produce truck crops and vegetables have been very much neglected, the larger part of these products being shipped Into the valley. There Is' absolutely no reason why the products Imported should not be grown within the valley, states the report The principal development of the truck ing Industry is associated with the lower soils adjacent to Bear creek. Strawberries do well on the heavier granitic soils near Ashland, and upon the soils of the floor of the valley, ex cept the adobes, and upon the lighter members of the soils of the agate series. The report deals extensively with the fruit Industry of the area and says, in part: "The general climatic condi tions of the area are indisputably favor able to the growing of fruit and failure of fruit adapted to a moderately tem perate climate must be laid to other causes.
