W; Conners, though the road will not be accepted by the state hightway commission until after a winter's rains have tested out the fills and drains. The contract price for the thirteen miles was $160,000, states the Siskiyou News. , To this sum must be added the cost of three bridges across Castle, Flume and Mears creeks $15,000. ' Fills at the approaches .- to these bridges will have to be constructed by tlio contractor who built the high way unit, but tli is will be a small job. It is now possible to travel from Dunsniuir io Redding by automobile. For several weeks cars had to be shipped between these two - points. This condition, however, is likely io be upset by the first heavy rains. " A tourist made the trip from Dunsmulr to Redding the other day in four hours and twenty minutes." Fitzpatrkk has not finished his contract between Lamotue and Pol lock, the bridge crossing of the Sac ramento, but this part of the road is passable anyway. It is safe to predict that early in the spring the state highway between Redding and Dunsmuir will be in fine condition and will be opened permanently." Corners has been eighteen months on the Dunsmuir-Sims unit. - THE NATIONAL fVT a. Don't forget, women of Medford, votir share of a task assigned to the local A. H.

''"""';-.': CALAMITY, PARTIAL reports from American lift insurance cutn panics printed by the Now York Journal of C'oni merce show the deaths from influenza of policy holders in the three mont hs of October, November and ieeember, 1918, to exceed 120,0(X). Claims against the insurance companies had hecn filed for ip52,(MX)',(XK) and full returns for the three months arc expected to show a loss of. 20U, 000 lives aiijl 100,000,000 in claims. The number of persons in the .United States .insured was in 3917, about 11,500,000 or oulv about one to everv ten of the population and the unexpected call is gen erally speaking, being promptly met by the companies. As" the losses .during I the succeeding throe months promise to be as heavy as those quoted an idea is thus afforded of the ravages of the plague which is nothing less than a national calamity. . i i:', ; - Sporadic and spasmodic efforts to' control influenza are largely responsible for its continued spread. If the policy of isolation and quarantine had been rigidly en forced, as it is for far less deadly diseases, the epidemic would long since have been tinder control but the desire "not to hurt business" has caused the loss of thousands of lives and a terrible tribute in human' suffering hud sorrow. Portland offers an illustration of the futility of the methods following in stamping out the disease. From October 1 to December ,'U, there were ll.GTUJ eases of in fluenza reported and 844 deaths. Restrictions were re moved for the holiday season to "help the Christmas trade" though there were few days when fewer than 100 new cases and eight to ten deaths were reported In fact a study of statistics shows there, never has been alct-up in the .epidemic, though there, have been intervals, duo mainly to climatic conditions, when the eases fell below the average but nothing to justify a lifting of the buxi. Xow that' nearly a thousand victims have beeu sent to the cemeteries and the daily rcjMirt of new cases is again ncaring the maximum, Portland has awakened to tho iiecd of action but as the papers announced "the Christmas trade broke all" records." - .

Coroner APPLE EXPORTERS ALLOWED TO SELL FRUIT BY WEIGHT E. A. HcKeaney. local representa tive of Dennis, Kimball & Pops, has received notice from Wm. Dennis & Sons, Ltd., of London, that in future the British consignees to whom American apples are shipped, will be allowed to sell by weight at the max imum price of six pence per lb. when the average of tho parcel exceeds 130 lbs. on barrels and 3S-lbs. on boxes. - '. This is a big and much needed re form in the British government's regulation for the selling of Amer ican apples. Formerly the exporter had to be content, when he sold a box, with getting the maximum price on 38 lbs. of fruit, regardless of the actual net' weight of the fruit. As a matter of fact boxes, as packed in the northwest, contain considerably over 38 lbs. net of fruit from 40 as high as 44 lbs. The only gainer was the retailer who bought a box on the basis of 38 lbs. and paid for 38 lbs. only and bad the difference between 33 lbs. and the actual quantity of the fruit contained as clear velvet some times getting as much as fire or six lbs. of fruit for ncthing. This was, of course, a scandalous Injustice and worked manifestly to tbe great detriment of the American shipper. It was something that the British government should have cor rected in the very first instance. But it is to be presumed that philosophy will Bay: j'Better late than never." In any case American exporters owe a meed of thanks to their British connections whose energy and persis tence have forced the government to make this. belated reform. ...
