PAVED AT ONCE
At a meeting of the highway com
mission Tuesday it was decided that
the state would proceed ut once to
complete the Ashlaiyl hill work and
to uso concreto for the hard suifuce.
This will be welcomed news by
everybody In'JaokHon county. When
R. A. Iloolh and S. llenson, members
of tho commission wero here recently
they promised to find some way to
secure funds to complete this work,
altho the bond Issue permitted by the
government had already been provid
ed for, and have made good their
promise.
It will take from $10, OHO to $20,
000 to completo.tbe road.
The commission also awarded con
tracts to tho county court of Union
county for grading the Elgin-Mlnam
toad and the Unlon-Tolocasset soc-
tlon of tho old Oregon Trail.
lloth roads nro post road projects
und are to be constructed in coopera
tion with the federal government.
Tho commission instructed tho
stato highway engineer to make a
survey of a proposed road in Crook
county up Crooked river for which
the county has bonded itself In the
Bum of $95,000.
Owing to tho growing complaint
regarding the absence of sign boards
at cross roads, tho highway commis
sion decided to ask tho uttorney gen
eral for un opinion as to what steps
can bo taken to enforce the law re
quiring county courts to mark roads
If It is found that there Is no method
of enforcement now legislation will
be sought.
The secretary of the commission
was Instructed to notify all county
courts that the speea laws of the
stato should be enforced. To clear
un some right of way disputes In
'Union county the commission docld
ed to request the attorney general to
proceed with condemnation suits.

WOMAN SEEKS TO PUT
HER BABY IN MOURNING
Sheriff Ralph Jenniniis will soon
resign his office to enter upon mili
tary service. He returned this mor
ning from Corvallis where he went
to tuke the examination for entrance
into an officers training camp, at the
conclusion of which Adjutunt H. P.
McClaln. the United States army offi
cer stationed at the O. A. C. to pass
upon the physical, mental and gen-
oral ability of applicants for officers
'commissions passed him with an ex
ceptionally high rating for entrance
to the Infantry officers training
school nt Cump Pike, Arkansas.
Sheriff Jennings announced today
that ho will he called to enter the
school sometime between now and
September 1, and that until then ho
would not resign his office as sheriff.
The county court will then appoint a
man to fill out his term which ex
pires next Jnnuary.
It Is also probable that Mr. Jen
nings will not resign from the demo
cratic ticket as a candidate for re
election until he receives his call, nor
from hla membership on the county
draft board until then. The county
'democratic county central committee
-will name a man to take Jennings'
pluce on the ticket, and Governor
Wlthycombe will name his successor
on the draft board.
Sheriff Jennings, who Is 3? years
old, has for a long time had the Idea
In mind of going to war. Ho says
that his desire to serve his country at
the front Increased Btrongly after
seeing each group of soldiers or
drafted men depart from Medford
until he could no longer resist the
patriotic lure.
While the fnmlly plans have not
been completed yet for the future It
Is probable t hat Mrs.. Jennings and
their two sons, Paul and Louis, aged
17 and 15, will operate the Jennings
ranch In the Applogute district while
he Is at war.
THICK OF FIGHT
Relatives of Jackson county boys
in tho 65th artillery are watching
the war news from the front with
much eagerness these days as there
Is a strong probability that the 65th
is engaged in the great battles. A
number of letters 'received In the city
In the past two or three weeks told
thut the 65th was all ready for duty
1n the front line and about to be
sent there. Today another mall from
France arrived In the city bringing
more letters 'indicating that ttie hoys
have been and probably are still in
the fighting.
Mayor und Mrs. Gales received a
letter from Sergeant George Gates,
written Juno 28th, this morning, in
which he made the simple statement,
"We've been at the front for awhile.''
The letter was unusually mutilated
by tho censor who cut away three
and one-half pages of it. George
wrote that two of his Medfprd com
rades wlille out on the' march, col
lapsed from heat attacks.
Sergeant Ben Plymale wrote on
June 20 to Samuel T. Richardson in
a letter the latter received over two
weeks ago that the 6 5th was already
to go to the trenches, having been Is
sued their steel helmets, gas masks
and other equipment. He stated that
he and fgur other sergeants had Just
returned from attending a special
school in higher mathematics. Hence
it is probable that the Jackson coun
ty boys of the 65th have been manip
ulating guns against the Huns In the
recent battles. Sergeant Plymale and
Sergeant Carl Ringer of Eagle Point,
are the only Jackson county boys in
company C of tho 65th.

There is a new flag afloat In tho world today.
It Is not tho ring of our country that brings millions to their feet
with nn emotional clutch In their throats.
It is not tho flag of the Red Cross tho badge of the Armies of

It is an insignia and emblem of the heart:
The new honor decoration of the American home:
The pennant of millions of dooi wnys and windows that betokens
to Immunity thut "This house has given a son or a husband, tuts
house has given a M AN. to the world-wide league of hiimnnlty."

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma. Aug. 7.
A general court martial, the first for
the 13th division, convened here to
day. Tho highest officer of the court Is
a captain which shows the dearth of
higher officers in camp. Officers
higher than the rank of captain are
so scarce now that one rarely meets
a major or colonel thruout the can
tonment; with the arrival today or
tomorrow of Brigadier General Cor
nelius Vanderbllti other officers to
build up the organization of the 13th
division are expected to arrive rapid
ly. It was Intimated that many of
the officers or the now division will
be those who have seen service In
France. They are to be sent here (o
train the men in the same manner
troops are trained abroad.
Many nurses for army duty now
being enrolled in western states will
be sent to Camp Lewis for training
and trial before being sent abroad, It
was said at the base hospital today.
These nurses will come here to prove
their fitness for duty overseas and to
gain a knowledge of military nursing
before being sent abroad for the
more arduous work there. It was
Bald, however, that tho period of pre
liminary training here probably
would not be long because of the
need of hundreds of additional nurses
with tho American forces In view of
the severe fighting now going on and
the greatly Increased number of cas
ualties. '
