by the council In regard to the mat

obtained a painter and ordered hlin
to mark the streets for the heading

However, due to a misunderstand
ing between the mayor and the
painter, quite a number of spaces
were marked for cars to back to the
curb before the mayor was apprised
of the fact that the marks were dif
ferent from what he ordered. The
mayor Immediately ordered that the
marks be painted out and others be
painted in. as ordered, but drivers
of cars took to the new idea so read

to get back on the job, practically
.every car was backing to the curb
whether in the newly painted district

When seen last evening,. Mayor

us thero .Is only three other such
buildings in the state, and none that
excell the local building.
In speaking of the activities of
the tate Federation, Mrs. Callahan

present time, the greater share of
which is kept loaned out to girls who

pose is to make this county stronger,
to make Oregon stronger, and to
make this nation the strongest and
best in the world."

of Grants Pass, who is instructor In
voice at the Ashland Conservatory of
Music, was next on the program.
Mrs. Saidle Orr Dunbar, who has
charge of the department of public

OREGON CAVES MAY HAVE
HOTEL BUILT IN FUTURE
PORTLAND, Dec. 4. As a result
of the tremendous numbers of motor
tourists visiting the Oregon caves of
the Siskiyou national forest, which
followed the opening last season of
automobile roads there, Fred Cleator
of the Oregon office of lands left
Portland last night to see about uti
lization of state lands In that region
for recreational purposes. His work
will be mainly the detailed plotting
of sites suitable for a proposed re
sort hotel, which several Interested
capitalists desire to erect. It is ex
pected that a flat eight miles from
the caves, but easily accessible, will
be selected.
Evidence of the popularity of the
caves was given during the last sea
son when as goon as the automobile
roads were completed the seasonal
attendance jumped from 1100 to
more than 10,000.

Ninety-five per cent of the grape
acreage in Josephine county has been
signed Mip in the recently organized
Josephine County Grape Growers' as
sociation. County Agent H. B. How
ell assisted in bringing this organi
zation about and has since rendered
some aid to the management in plan
ning the marketing of this year's
crop, which consisted of about 20
carloads, says the O. A. C. Extension
News.
Josephine county grape growers,
the assistance of the grape commit
tee of the Grants Pass chamber -of
commerce, and the offlco of County
Agent Howell, were recently granted
a 22 per cent reduction In freight
rates on grapes to Northwest points.
This year's crop is being marketed
through the Pacific Fruit and Pro
duce company, which will place Jose
phine county grapes in all Northwest
markets. It is figured that growers
this year will realize about 15 cents
per box more through the associa
tion plan of marketing than other
wise would have been possible. This
saving will amount to approximately
$3,500.
The local chamber of commerce Is
co-operating with growers In every
effort to increase production of
grapes In Josephine county and Im
prove marketing conditions. Re
cently the grape committee of the
chamber gave material assistance In
making arrangements for a grape
tour, which was attended by 125
Individuals. Prominent visitors in
attendance were F. B. Bloletti, chief
of the division of viticulture and
fruit products at the University of
California; Vice-President McCor
mlck of the Southern Pacific com
pany; and Jules Alexander, promi
nent banker of Susanvllle, Calif., and
a leading figure In California devel
opment work.
Dr. Bloletti was greatly Impressed
with the quality of grapes grown in
the Southern Oregon district and
upon his return to California pre
pared a lengthy article for publica
tion In Josephine county, covering
tho Impressions he received while
there. He stated his conclusions re
