ILG MYSTERY IS
STILL UNSOLVED
Pretty San Francisco Girl Is Still
Missing Only Theories So Far
Have Developed No Progress Is
Made by Police.
Medford has shown the spirit which cannot he daunted by obstacles
and obstruction. Defeated by a Supreme Court decision in its efforts
to induce the state to build n road to Crater Lake which would open
that grcut natural wonder to tho sightseer, the town raised n fund of
t2.'5,OiJO by subscription mid used it in changing the worst piece of rond
on the route to the lake into the best piece of road in Oregon. The Med
ford Mail Tribune boasts of it with just pride in these words:
TIiIh Mrttclt of lilcliwny Is our road. We, (he progreioilvc proplo of Jncknon
Count)' liulll II. Therefore? wo am proud of It. Tlio road Is two and seven-ti-nlliH
miles In length and has eliminated the crrAtmt obatnclo to Crater trfiko
travi-l, J'mnlcn HIM. A wide, iimooth boulevard of easy grado has bcerf cut
through thn nolld rock of a precipitous mountain sld, replacing an almost Im
poHnlhle grndr. In places as great as 3$ per cent, always knro'deep In pumlco
dust. , t
This section of highway Is only a start towards what will ultimately be
tlv flncftt road In America, equal In scctilc effects to any In tho world. It
iiliirkn th.' awakening of Oregon to the commercial as well as aesthetic value of
llit natural wonders and beauty spots an awakening pioneered by Medford. Hut
niori) than all IIiIk, thla bit of highway In the best fxample of the Medford aplrlt
tho spirit that known no obstacle to balk Its creative energy that pulls unit
edly for the common good.
The Medford spirit has followed up the construction of this road by
establishing an nuto stage line to the lukc, whereby any person desirous
of seeing Oregon's greatest natural wonder may reach it in speed and
comfort. An nutoraobile has already traveled the new road to tho
rim of the crater. With the continuation of the road work it will be
come more accessible every year to the tourist. A great electric plant of
2.'),000 horsepower is being erected by Colonel Frank II. Ray on the
Rogue river nnd will furnish light and power to all the Roguo Valley
towns and to Crater Lake park as well. With hotel and traveling con
veniences secured tho lake will soon be as strong an attraction as Yel
lowstone park mid the Grand Canyon.
The completion of the modern highway might be hastened by the
employment of convicts by the state. It is a matter of interest and
pride to the whole state to build this road. Medford has done her part;
let the tntc help in this wuy if no other method is open. Editorial in

SALEM, Or., July 21. "I have
given no consideration whatever to
the possibility of calling a special ses
sion of the legislature for the pur
pose of good roads legislation," said
Governor West this morning, "nnd up
to tho present time nothing of this
character has been brought to my at
tention. Unless fcomo one takes ac
tion along this line, I will call no spe
cial session, but if it is presented
to me I will, of course, consider it,
nnd possibly may cull a special ses
sion." The fact that Governor West would
consider, perhaps favorably, an extra
session for good roads legislation, is
gratifying news to the good roads
enthusiasts. Waiting two full years
before any state legislation can be
enacted does not appeal to that class
of workers who liavo felt that good
highways nro tho first duty of a state
inviting development nnd immigra
tion. Defeat of tho bills presented
last winter has been lamented by
these workers. On every hand it is
conceded that tho road condition in
Oregon is bad. It is generally main
tained by the good roads enthusiasts
that the present county nnd precinct
plan is not producing very marked
results, nnd would not bo compatible
with any general schemo for broad
state highway development.
Medford started tho movement for
a special session. Since- then it has
been communicated to other comuior
cml organizations. It is known that
failure of tho state to do anything
in promoting good highways is a dis
appointment to tho railway magnates
who are building into different por
tions of Oregon wagon ronds. They

WASHINGTON. D. C, July 2L-
Reports from Port Au Prince, Ilaytt,
that a desperate situation cpnfronts
Americans and otherf oreigu residents
there nnd that American guns may be
needed to save them from murder and
pillage, wero confirmed hero today
by the state department.
Secretary Knox depends on the
United States warships to save the
lives of Americans, if, as it is report
ed, he must do, President Simon sur
renders the capital to tho victorious
insurgents who aro hotly pressing to
attack it from the north. The Petrel,
the department says, is already at
Hayti, and both tho scout cruiser
Chester and the cruiser Des Moines
are racing to the imperiled city. The
Chester, which was despatched from
Long Island sound with orders to
steam under forced draft for Uort
Au Prince, will arrive Saturday night
or Sunday. Tho Des Moines cannot
nrrivo until next week.
Officials of the state department
declared today that they knew noth
ing of the yacht America, upon which
it was said Amoricans had taken ref
fugo nt Cape Haytien. Tho depart
ment Teimrts are that anarchy pre
vails in Ilayti, and that President Si
mon, who is seriously ill, may even
bo too weak to flco from the country
nnd plans to defend his capital with
the remnant of his nrmy which has
not deserted to tho revoltuionisists.
Should Simon decide to fight it out
tho danger to American and foreign
residents the, department fears, will
bo greatly increased, and it is not im
possible that, should tho city be
stormed, thoy might bo victims of a
general massacre.
