No matter how many roads there are
V leading in or out of your town, the ones
best paved get the traffic. j i
This is especially true if these roads
are oi Concrete. For every motorist ap- j
predates the many advantages of driving
over its true, rigid, unyielding surface.
No wonder Concrete Highways are
crowded for mile after mile. More than
17,000,000 motor vehicles are using
them today. And new cars , are being
produced at the rate of 4,000,000 a year.
Here is a situation of vital concern to
, you. Everywhere we need more or wider
Concrete. Roads, or both, to take care of -
- the ever-increasing traffic. And now is
' the time to plan for their obstruction
, . Your highway officials want to be of
- the greatest possible service to you. Get
: : behind them with ways and means that
.will provide more Concrete Roads and
Streets. Such 'an investment will pay
you big dividends year after year, j ;

MAN IS HELD FOR
RANCHER'S DEATH
(Continued frm page 1) "
Bert Hill, who i3 alleged to hare
slain FYed Smith, a homesteader,
near Weed. Cal., on October 28
last, was arrested her today by
the police. . f Hill's wife swore out
a warrant here today, charging
her husband with desertion and
when Chief of Police McNabb ar
rested him, he saw a resemblance
between the arrested man and the
man wanted for killing Smith.
Papers found in Hill's pockets
contained signatures which offi
cers said resembled the signature
of the fugitire slayer. 1
Sheriff Andy Calkins of Siski
you county arrived here and re
turned to Yreka with him.
.The Weed murderer attacked
Smith while his guest and ran
sacked the cabin, taking every
thing of value. The man held

ILLIHEE COUNTRY
CLUB RAISES DUES
Membership Increased From
$50 to $100 By Direc- ;
! tors Last Night . .
The regular meeting .of ( the
Country club wasHeid last night
at the Chamber of Commerce club
robins. Business and routine mat
ters took up the major portion of
the time. Following a meeting of
the board of directors, it was de
cided to raise the price of member
ship to the organization from $50
to ($100 a year, beginning from
July 1. In addition the monthly
dues, beginning next April are to
be increased to $7.50 per quarter,
or 50 cents per month. This in
crease in membership dues was
brought about by the many im
provements and additions that
have been made on the club
grounds. - . ;
Even" with the raise- the IHihee
country club has a membership
fee that is far below the fees of
other country clubs of the Willam
ette valley. ' ' -' 5
Within a few days the schedule
for the golf tournament will be
issued ready for playing, accord
ing .to Fred A. Williams, chair
man of the tournament committee.
An inter-city match has been
arranged for May between Eugene
Salem and Corrallis. May 10. 17
and 24 are the dates selected.
Eugene and Corvallis have already
one leg to their credit and have
one more to go. The club win
ning must have two legs to their
credit.
Chances for a strong team get
ting in the field are very good, al
though the Salem players have
been held by the bad weather of
the past weeks, but it is expected
the practise of the coming weeks
will make some difference. S

Special Chapel Services and
fraternity Dinner Are
Given Tuesday
The two men who left last night
on the W'illamette university de
bate trip were honored by the
student body Tuesday morning be
fore the chapel services were dis
missed. After a" short pep rally
the men and the coach were asked
to speak. The men seem to be
confident that they will give any
team a good run for the decision
although they did not predict a
series of victories.
Joel Berreman, sophomore, said
that while no team could be sure
of victories, if Willamette lost it
would not be for lack of a vigor
ous attempt on the part of the
squad. A
Charles Redding, freshman, said
that the" team were going to do
their best and that they were
ready to put up a good fight. He
added further, however, that all
any team could do was to pre
sent the facts of the case and
trust to fate for the decision.
When cabled, upon : for h?s opin
ion. Coach .Raskcopf said: !' I am
confident that thesei men will do
a piece of work that we will be
proud of." While he refused to
make any further statement as re
gards the outcome, he added that
he considered both men to be good
debaters and fhat they were well
prepared.
After being entertained at din
ner by the Phi Kappa PI fra'ternity
the men were given a send-off at
the Southern Pacific depot at
10:56 last night. The first de
bate will be with the College of
the Pacific at Stockton, Cal., next

Oh, yes. the grower might save
his flax for future retting and
scutching plants. lie could keep
it a year, and it would be better
by 10 per cent for the keeping, if
kept dry. It would be as good 10
years or 100 years hence. But
few farmers could afford to keep
it over, or could find the ware
