Phoenix Fine City,
Says Lexington Man
Phoenix is rapidly becoming one
of the finest cities of the southwest,
according to Harold Beach, former
Lexington man who has been locat
ed there the last year or more with
International Harvester company.
There is no big industrial enterprise
in or near the city to stimulate
growth, yet whole additions are be
ing added to the residential districts.
Harold says, and no let-up in build
ing operations is in sight.
One building concern has 50 res
idences under construction and
these are being sold as fast as they
reach completion. Beach said that
he took a residence considerably
removed from the city when he
first move to Phoenix and is now
surrounded by new, modern homes.
Harold accompanied his brother
Lawrence to Lexington to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Florence Beach.
Lawrence is located at Logan, Utah,
where he has a position with the
Allis-Chalmers company.
for movement by combined land and
water service, the transportation
services he will be able to offer will
in a measure take the sting out of
proposed 22 per cent increases being
asked by intercoastal ship operators
who move Pacific northwest wool
from Pacific ports to the Atlantic
seaboard, asserts Joe D. Thomison,
newspaperman of The Dalles. ,
The Port of The Dalles has gained
readjusted rates that will enable
woolerowers of the interior, who
move their tonnage to The Dalles
by motor truck and transfer it to
Columbia river craft, to save from
50 cents to $1 per ton. The action
of intercoastal ship operators, in
seeking a 22 per cent increase, is
iudsed unfair, inasmuch as the wool
price is based on Boston quotations
less freight and handling costs, which
means that the increased freight
charge will have to be borne by the
growers.

Imprudent Action
Cause of Accidents
In 78 percent of the fatal accidents
involving motor vehicles and bicycles
during the year 1939, the bicycle
riders were engaged in some im
prudent action at the time the acci
dent occurred, it was revealed to
day by Earl Snell, secretary of
state.
These unsafe actions included rid
ing two or more abreast, riding
double on one bicycle, cutting across
the path of traffic suddenly, failing
tr nhserve traffic signals and signs,
hitching rides on moving vehicles
and riding on the wrong side of the
street.
"Everv nerson who rides a bicycle
sVirvnld remember that in the eyes
of Oregon law. bicycles are regarded
as vehicles and as such are subject
in thf same traffic regulations as
other vehicles," Snell declared. "This
means that bicycle riders must stop
at stop signs, observe traffic and
right-of-way laws that apply to trai
fie control.
"Young bicvele riders frequently
forget to give proper arm signals

ride several abreast, thus causing
the riders to be out in the path of
the faster moving automobile traf
fic. These practices must be elim
inated if we are to reduce the bicycle
death toll."

students now enrolled at Oregon
State college total 247, or 4.9 per
cent of the entire enrollment, ac
cording to a study being made m
the school of home economics at
Oregon State college. The same stu
dy shows 229 married students at
the University of Oregon, which is
6.3 per cent of the enrollment.
At the college 202 men and 45
women are continuing their educa
tion after marriage. Preliminary re
ports show the average age of the
married men to be about 25, and of
the women 23. Married students are
enrolled fairly evenly throughout
the institution, although engineer

have a slight edge in numbers.
