The Crater Lake highway commission of tho Commer cial club has begun its campaign for subscriptions to build & scenic boulevard to the world's greatest natural wonder. What the mossbacks of the supreme court, through tho intervention of the Salem hog, has prevented the state of Oregon from doing will be done by the people of Med ford, Jackson county and other sections of the state by vol untary contributions. Mcdford, undaunted by the failure of its long com- paign for a highway to the national park a failure due to the reactionary character and lack of comprehension pn the part of the provincial citizens of the Willamette val leyis showing the world a new wrinkle in the way of aggressive progress, cutting the Gordian knot and solving the problem in a direct and practical fashion. The live citizens of Mcdford are freely signing the sub scription. In the first 30 minutes of solicitation thirty names were secured, an average of $100 a minute.' In the first 24 hours of work practically $10,000 has been sub scribed. Every progressive citizen is placing his name on the roll of honor, and proving to the entire coast that Medfordhas the stuff that makes cities, and that Jackson county is the most enterprising of the counties of Oregon. The Crater Lake highway subscription will of itself be the greatest advertisement this community has yet under taken. It will speak louder to the country at large of the character of our citizenship than anything else possibly could, and attract greater attention than the winning of the sweepstakes prize at the Spokane Apple Show. After all is said and done, it is the class of citizenship that makes the city. Energy, enterprise and progressive ness can create a metropolis and thickly populate a desert, whereas a place with every natural advantage, whose citi zenship lacks public spiritedness, will never amount to anything. Medford not only has the right citizenship, but the location and the natural advantages. It is to develop these advantages and make profitable Oregon's greatest scenic resource that all are signing the popular subscrip tion to build the Crater Lake highway, to benefit not only Jackson county, but all Oregon and the entire coast.

I wish to t entity that my husband was miffoiliiK for a long time from stomach trouble and n complication that vurloiiH physicians doolartid to ho Bright' Disease, and wnn glvon up by them to dlo. Ho thou consult ed Dr. T. Wah llltig nt No, 735 J street, Sacramento, who cured tho trouble ontlroly. Thta was seven yonrs ago and thoro hns boon no re turn of tho complaint. My llttlo boy, Virgil Strickland,! was shot through tho ntonmch nnd Intestines and tho doctors said lie could not live unless ho was opor-1 ntod on and Dr. lllng cured him It is questionable -whether the council could legally let paving contracts under the bids made by paving con tractors Tuesday night. In the first place, determinate quantities had not been figured, and in the second, no estimate of cost had been figured by the city arid property owners did not know what they were signing for when the residence streets. The paving bids were all disappointingly high. How ever, they demonstrated one thing, and that is that the cost of hard surface pavement is excessive for some of the residence streets, and that such pavement is unneces sary. A crushed rock macadam pavement is sufficient for many of the residence streets. Such pavement has stood the test of time, and while not equal to a hard surface pavement, is good enough for the needs of some streets and has the merit of cheapness, as well as being easily re paired. Perhaps an oil macadam might fill the bill. One reason the bids seem high is that the cost of all in tersections is included. Last year they were not. On some of the streets, part of the cost of intersections was figured, but the balance paid by the city. For instance, a bid of $5.75 per frontage foot including intersections fig ures $4.15 without intersections. The city is handicapped through the fact that only large concerns with extended financial connections are able to finance the contracts. If the city could pay in cash instead of in bonds, smaller contractors could figure, but as it is only large firms can do so. Owners on certain streets will be content with rock macadam. Others will want hard surface, and the only solution is for the city to readvortise for bids, giving de terminate quantities and specifications for cither hard sur face or macadamizing, as desired by property owners. Prospects are new bids will bring cheaper offers all around and result in material saving to the city, as well as to the satisfaction of the property owner. SAYS WOODEN PIPE WILL STAND A WHILE No Particular Danger of Pipe Deter iorating Until Ground Thoroughly Dry Where Water Is Not Turned In. "I do not think that thoro 13 a great deal of danger of the plpo decaying In tho ground where tho water can not bo turned Into It for several weeks nt least," said a well known engineer. "So long as the ground covering tho plpo Is moist the wood will not decay. As soon, howover, as tho soli bo comes dry tho plpo will commonco to decay on top. Before that occurs the litigation over the mattershould be settled and tho plpo saved. There will have to bo some quick action, though." BIG BLAST ON UPPER KLAMATH LAKE KLAMATH FALLS, March 10.
