Col. Lindbergh has about completed his tour o f Central America, and will, we presume, be back in the United States soon. His trip has demonstrated the possibilities of aircraft trans portation in a new section and has done much to aid aviation in the countries visited. Late in the night they heard rounds that jonvinced them that the enemy were preparing for an attack. Hartley lenving his friend Waldo in the entrance went inside» and told the two ladies and tho three judges to get ready to leave the cave at a minutes notice. The journey has done more than stir interest in aviation. It has been a potent factor in im proving the relations between the United State and I*atin America. While this may not be logi cal in the eyes of* world diplomats, it is a fact. International relations bring peace or war ac cording to the feeling which exists in one coun try towards the people of another. Anything which tends to produce popular favor for a fore igner in any country betters the future prospect for his nation. Lindbergh has done a great service by his flight. He has represented the United States to millions of people, many of whom had rather poor ideas of Americans. By his modest manner and good judgment he has visited other peo ples and won their admiration and good washes. His triumph hail been one of personality, un matched by anything that has occurred in mod ern times. PO LIT IC A L INDEPENDENCE NEEDED While the Register believes in the party sys tem of government, as it exists in the United States, we do not think any citizen should be so hidebound into his party that he fails to recog nize the good that comes from other people or the danger that both of the large parties may be dominated by the same forces. • For that reason, we advise all our readers to ¿dopt a more or less independent attitude in thinking about all national problems. The ternal welfare of the republic depends upon freedom of thought and not upon fidelity to party lines. When the day comes that there exists in this na tion only the partisan members of the twTo great parties then the early end of this republican gov ernment is apparent. The average citizen may not fancy internation al politics for example, but if iie expects to be Worthy of the ballot he should make it his busi ness to understand something about what is hap pening in the world. He should, if he expects democracy to succeed, become interested in the matters that affect the United States of Ameri ca and in the attitude which his nation adopts to the other people of the world. PRICE W A R AM ONG A U T O M AKERS The motor World is agog with excitement. There seems to be a real effort underway to give the Fords some competition. This new and unex pected move on the part of his competitors in cludes price cuts w hich put other cars within the Ford price class. • C hevrolet, V\ hippet ami Star cars are being o f fered at prices which equal, in some instances, the Ford price. The new Ford, o ff to a^Iimping start because of an inability to supply the de mand, will be months in catching up. Meanwhile the other manufacturers are offering immediate deliveries. This battle royal in the industrial world will echo into Ashland. It is the biggest struggle that Big Business has ever witnessed. Where it will end no one can tell. There are now registered in the United State 23,125,000 motor vehicles, of w hich 20,140,000 art* passenger cars. These automobiles can seat, it is estimated. 00,000.000 people, or 20 times as many as our railway cars. The ramifications of the motor business are everywhere and all are apt to be affected by any disastrous price war. TH E DEAD IN D IAN ROAD * j i . With the exclusive announcement in Friday's Register of the plans o f the county commission ers to spend between twenty-five and thirty-five thousand dollars on the Dead Indian road, comes the realization of a dream of many years stand ing. Willi:.m Briggs, local attorney and good*road enthusi: st has worked on this project for many many years, he has been -assisted by other mem bers of the Chamber of Commerce and those in terested in the development of Ashland. Farmers residing in this section have long waited this step, and now it seems that the dreams are to be real ized. Just how far this amount of money will go, lo cal people are loath to say. But they do unite in saying that the first step will undoubtedly be fol lowed by others which will mean eventually that one of the main tributary roads to Ashland will be a permanent road, and those farmers residing in this section will be able to get in to Ashland to do their trading. It means that a new section will be opened up, and this will contribute its mite to the future prosperity and growth of Ashland. SHEEP MENS MEETING Orr Friday, January 27th, Ashland will be hosts to the sheepmen of Jackson county. This occasion will be in the form o f an all day meet ing to be held probably in the city hall and at tended by sheep men from every section of the country. Three phases o f the sheep industry will bo discussed at this meeting, and of course the marketing of wool will be one o f the important topics for discussion. A representative from tho Cooperative Wool Exchange on the Pacific coast will handle this topic and undoubtedly will bring out many things of a valuable nature to sheep men generally. In connection with this, business men should take notice, for meetings of this kind are held for only one purpose ana that to show the sheep men how they can make larger profits. The more they have the more they will have to spend, and Ashland business men if for no other rea son than pure selfishness, should not overlook the opportunity to welcome these men to this city. The sweet young thing who broke o ff friend ly relations with five swain just after receiving > hristmas presents appears to have all the tributes! of a diplomat in addition to those of a magnet. When the citizens of this community take the words of mail order catalogues in preference to the assurance of merchants of Ashland it will be time for somebody to enlarge Mr. Barnum's esti mate.

Not as long as I cat» -hoot,” Miss Leonard was quit* pale but as she carefully exam ined her gun and saw to it, that it was in good working order and that the magazine was full of leaded shells she looked all that Molly had said.

He said “ That it did not mat ter much any way as he, at the* best had not long to live and hi did not want to kill any one even in self defense. Most o f then» thought it might be safer to re main in the cave but by vacating they avoided the shedding of much blood. Then by retreating they had a chance o f rejoining theif friends sooner. Then it should be remembered that they had been placed in the cave, by their well meaning friends without being consulted.
