A resolution requesting the Oregon congressional delegation, the secreta ry of the interior and. the forestry service to secure an appropriation for the impovemeut of tho Crater Lake National pnrk was adopted by tho Commercial club Wednesday evening. Tho resolution as adopted is as follows: Whereas, tho Medford Commercial club has expended $25,000 raised i.y public subscription in tho construc tion of a section of tho Crater Lake Highway, and &iMA Whereas, Jackson county has ex pended a considerable sum in the con struction of an additional fivo miles of this highway during tho past year. and Whereas, the State of Oregon has shown its co-operation in the build ing of tho Crater Lake Highway by the Cftnblishment of a couvico camp and the loan of a considerable num ber of prisoners for road construc tion and, Whereas, the people of Jackson county have authorized the issuance of $1,500,000 bonds for construc tion of permanent highways, nnd Whereas the pcoplo of Jackson county havo as above enumerated shown their faith in tho effort to mako Crater Lake National park ac cessible with the result that sovoral thousand automobiles visited ihe park this year as against none at 11 thrco years ago, nnd havo thus re moved tho only objection towards im provement of the park tijioii a large scale, and Whereas, Crater Lake National park which coutnins ono of tho world's greatest natural wonders as well ns n sccnios wonderland of beauty, nlono nmong tho national parks, has had only meager appro priations nnd no improvement worthy of tho nnnie, and Whereas, government engineers hvo estimated thnt the sum of $300, 000 will bo required to construct n system of roads in tho Crater Lake National park and through tho na tional forest, Therefore be it resolved, that tho Mfedford Commercial club horowith rcquosts tho Oregon congressional delegation, tho seorotary of tho in terior and tho forestry service to secure, an appropriation for $300,000 for the improvement of tho Crater Lake National park at tho coming Through C. P. Urlggs, nn Ashland attorney, notice was served by a co terie of Ashland citizens today on tha county court that they must Immedi ately suspend all road work in tho county or suit would be Instituted to restrain the county treasurer from honoring any county warrants above tho amount authorized by law for road building purposes. This means, If tho threat Is carried out and the court sustains their suit, that all of the road building machin ery in the county must be boused un til the Sl.500,000 bond Vssuo la avail able. The county court this year had be tween 885,000 and $90,000 which could be expended for road fc-alldlne purposes. More than this was ex pended under the system which has been In vogue In the county. Ashland c'tlzens, chagrined at the passage of the good roads bonds, now havo taken the matter up out of potty spite evidently, and intend to force tho court to quit building roads or have warrants already Issued en joined. It is pointed out that If outstanding warrants are not paid by tho county treasurer, owing to a restraining or der, that any additional warrants is sued would bo practically valueless. This would effect tho present contract with Twohy brothers. A movement was Instantly launch ed in Medford today following tho receipt of word regarding Ashland's move, to havo local business men sign an indemnity bond to guarantee payment or the money which will be due Twohy brothers when the Cen tral Point road Is completed in order to keep them at work this fall. A score of Medfora attorneys vol unteered today to defend tho suit It it is brought by Ashland. The Ashland plea, as stated by Mr. Driggs at acksonville this morning, was to tho effect that Ashland does not wish to see tho county court go further into debt under tho present system. Mr. Briggs states that ho is not In sympathy with tho move but that ho Is acting In a legal way only. stating that tho men who omployed him said thnt It bo would not tako tho case that they would employ a Portland attorney. Tho move Is generally accepted by the peoplo of the county as being en gendered by a number of Ashland peoplo who were chagrined at tho out come of tho recent bond election which caused them to develop In a marked degrco what is known in the pnrlance of tho street as "sore-hoad-ednesa."
