TAFTS TO BE OBSERVED
WASHINGTON, D, C, Juno 14.
Tho silver anniversary of tho woddtng
of President nnd Mrs. Taft occurring
Juno 19 Is to be tho occasion of ono
of tho most brilliant social oveuts In
tho history of Washington society,
Several thousand invitations , wore
sent out today.
That dear old barn-like structure
h hlcb" jiOuva us tho local temple of
Thespls, has got Its picture In the
papers. Cood papers too the New
York Telegram the being one In
point. And our "opry" house got a
write up. "Madame Sherry" here In
the winter, attended to that.
On Juno , jn, the New York
Telegram published a photo of the
local play house and here Is what
the story said, that accompanied the
cut:
"Medford, Oregon, whero tho pic
ture was taken is a great town to ad
vertise, but It Is doubtful If Medford
will like tho advertisement tho "Mad-
amo Sherry" company brought back
east. Medford lies in the Rogue
River valley, one of the righest fruit
growing districts in America. It was
up in the mountains not far from
Medford where the lato E. II. Hard
man used to go on hunting and flslv.
Ing trips. Medford is on the main
line of the Southern Pacific between
Portland and San Fraucl'sco. Mount
Shasta, ono of the wonders of "the
road of a thousand wonders" Is over
tho lino In California only a llttlo
more than a hundred miles away.
"But here's what the ".Madame
Sherry" company says about tho Med
ford "opry" house. "This picture Il
lustrates ono of the reasons why so
many 'regular' actors have such an
aversion to certain one night stands.
An idea of tho acoustic and sanitary
properties of this Temple of Thespis
may bo gained from a view of Its
ornnte exterior."
"And yet, thoy do raise fine apples
and juicy prunes and such around
Medford. By bum, some day, maybe
they will raise a real "opry" houso."

GASOLINE LAUNCH IS
BURNED; WOMAN HURT
COKONA, N. Y., Juno 14. Four
women who wore passengers on u
gasoline launch that caught fire m
Flushing bay Tuesday, uro iu a
hospital suffering from severe burns
and it is almost certain that thoy
would have perished had it not been
for tlto prompt and heroic notion of
their four malo companions.
Tho boat caught fire shortly after
midnight when a milo off shore. In
an instant the clothing of the wo
men was blazing. Without n mo
ment's hesitation eneli man seized the
woman nearest him and jumped into
tlto -water. Tho men succeeded in
keeping the womon afloat until res
cued. It is thought tho women will all to-covor.
Look nt all of tho real estnto ails
and at much of thu- ronl estato ad
vertised, boforo investing.
A movement wns started this morn
ing to have tJio proposed asphalt
macadam road to Contra! Point
changed from Its present location to
parrallel tho railroad track. It la
pointed out that this would be a
straightaway continuation of Central
avenue and would bo over a half mllo
sharter than tho present road which
contains several angles. If the road
was next to the railroad track It
would be without a curve or an anglo
of any kind and would Indeed bo a
boulevard.
J. S. Howard is fathering tho move
ment. In outlining his plans ho pre
pared the following statement.
To the editor: Tho county court
has contracted to expend $12,000 a
mile to make an asphalt macadam
road to Central Point. (Good). Now
I ttbe county Is to spend that amount
why not get the best results posalblo
for tho money? Why not extend North
Central, avenue .tojjti;aJght through
parallel with the railroad to the south
end of First street In Central Point?
The following facta aro in favor
of the change of the road: First, tho
distance by the present road from
East Main street, Medford to tho
south end of IFrst street, Central
Point, is 22,300 feet or 4.22 miles.
The distance from East Main and
Central avenue. Medford, to tho south
end of First street. Central Point, by
a line parallel with tho railroad is
19,500 feet or approximately 3.7
miles, a difference of nearly ono half
mile. Now, In good weather there
are about 500 vehicles each day pass
ing over tho road to Central Point
and If the road was laid out parallel
to the railroad It would mean a sav
ing of 250 miles of travel each day
and save construction and mainten
ance of the extra road, Second, from
the north end of Central avenuo as
laid out through tho Ish Gore addition
to the city of Medford, to tho south
end of First street. Central Point, tho
distance is 9S00 feet or 1.86 miles.
This Is all the new road to bo laid
out and you have only threo property
owners to deal with. A road sixty
feet wldo would take un nora of 13,40
acres worth at tho most S500 au
aero which would make tho cost ot
tho rond JO, 700 If it had to be alt
condomned. Now at $12,000 por
miles the saving ot a half mllo In
distance would otfsot tho cost ot
condemning new road.
Tho above facts show that wo can
get a road to Central Point parallel
with the railroad and as straight us
an arrow, save over a half mllo Iu
distance and have' one of tho most
magnltlcenco drives tn the valley and
tho ground would bo less difficult for
conatruct'on.
If any movo Is wado It must ba
made soon boforo construction starts.
Tho Commercial club should tako tho
matter up at once, securing the co
operation of tho Central Point club.
Tho automobllo club should mnko a
hustlo. Tho farmers clear to tho
north ond of tho country would bo
benefitted.
