ROD

Ti
RADETOMEDFORD
Upon request from Governor West
tho forent flerviro lfns allotted $1,
OOO from a email fund at tlicir com
lnaud for the construction of n rood
to the Cook innl Green l'nsa in the
Rojnio river Klamath river divide.
Thin will completes a waon rond by
menus of which ono enn leave Med
ford nnd travel over a very Reed
rond to tlio top of (lie divide in the
Klntnnth watershed.
Tlio question of constructing a
roud from Seind vnlley to tlio same
piiHH is being nctivcly taken up with
n very good prospect, that, with the
iiRMHtaneo which the forest herviee
may bo nblo to givo during tlio nest
fit-cal year, it will bo constructed.
Such n rond would afford a better
outlet for Happy Camp, Seind valley
mid other territory tributary there
to, than is now hnd over the present
wagon road to llornbrook or Yrekn,
California. Tlio proposed rond will'
bu quite an easy grade, can be trav
eled a Inrgo portion of the year and
will, incidentally bring a large
amount of trndo to Medford and tho
surrounding countrj' which now goes
to northern California. The inter
ested settlers and miners in vivinity
of Cook and Green Pass have shown
their desire for the road by agreeing
to contribute in money nnd labor any
amount in excess of that furuished
by the font service, which is nec
essary. The people aro all very cn-
uMnstic over tho proposed road and
it is believed that its construction
will be of great assistance to the
country reached.
In addition, tho forest bo nice has
nllotcd (GOO towards the construc
tion of a road up Anderson creek,
which willbo of material benefit to a
number of Ecttlcrs residing in that
lwrtion of Jackson count'. Tho pco
))o aro extremely interested in see
ing this road put through and have
ngrml to coporeato in its construc
tion to tho extent of an equal amount
with tho forest sen-ice. It will ex
tend from, tho end of tho present
wagon road on tho Little Applegatc
river side and connect with the road
on Anderson Creek above Talent, and
vrill give direct connection between
Talent and the Little Applegnfe val
ley. The forest service is desirous
in so far as the funds nt its com
mand penuit, of securing mean of
communication between t-etllera with
in Ihu bounds of tho forest.

SANTA ANA THUG
NOT JOE MATLOCK
SHOWN BY WEST
SALEM, Ore., Dec. 23. A hott
time ago Governor West gave out n
list nhowing the elos in which each
county would bo if his plan for uni
fying oiunly salaries is put into ef
fect by enactment of tho legiMalurc,
and today he gave out figures show
ing tho method of arriving at the
classification of the counties.
His idea N that tho present hnp
hnxard method of fixing snlaries of
county officials should be displaced
by a plan that will make the salary of
every county official eorrosHnd to
tho salary of the same official in
every oilier county in the same elnsi
in tho state. Thus all clerks in
counties of the second class would
receive the same salaries, nnd sher
iffs in those counties would voceivc
like salaries, and so on through the
list of county officials.
Method of Classification
mis classification ot counties is
made according to the area, assiscd
valuation and population of the coun
ties. At the head of the list alpha
betically is Baker county. Its area
is 3,174 per cent of tho total area of
tho state; its assescd valuation is 2,
520 per cent of the assessed valua
tion of the entire state; its popula
tion is 2,087 per cent of the popula
tion of tho state. This makes an av
erage of 2,703 per cent of tho total
area, assessed valuation and popula
tion of the state, and according to
tho schedule arranged, places Baker
county in tho fourth class.
Baker comity is cited to illustrate
how the governor has figured to
plnce impartially each county in its
proicr classification. Mu'tnomah
county stands by far in a class by
itself, and is given clnss one. The
other counties whose average runs
from 4 to 5 per ccut nrc placed in
the second clam, from 3 to4 per cent
in me tuini class, irom - to J per
cent in the fourth class, and less
than 2 per cent in the fifth clnss.
.Multnomah Salaries About Itlglit
With tho counties thus classified,
it will be for the legislature to fix
the salaries, beginning say with tho
counties of the fifth class and in
creasing them proportionately on up
through the scale until the counties
of tho second class arc reached. The
salaries in Multnomah county prob
ably would not be disturbed or
would bo fixed separately.
Tho governor haa compiled the fol
lowing figures showing the classifi
cation of the ceunties:
