FORTY MILLIONS
FOR HIGHWAYS
Lights Go Out When Representatives
Gore and Sheldon Orate at Banauet
of Three Cities but It Didn't Feaze
Them Commissioner Booth Speaks
of Highway Plans and Progress,
' The brilliant get-together banquet
of the Medford, Grants Pass and Ash
land commercial clubs which was so
enthusiastic and successful and aug
urs much towards the development
of the Rogue River valley and south
ern Oregon, contrary to the usual
custom of such affairs did not close
In a blaie of glory last night, but ter
minated in , inky blackness, duo to
the electric lights of the city sudden
ly going out about a half hour before
the end of the long speaking program
and remaining out. Not a lamp or
candle could be found in the hotel.
But the spirits of the enthused
banqueters were not lessened, and
after singing America in darkness so
dense that the singers almost had to
feel their voices the 300 people grop
ed out of the banquet hall as best
they could with the help of a few
lighted matches, to begin a Bearch tor
their hats, overcoats and wraps-'-yes
there were a number of women pres
ent: especially with the Grants Pass
delegation. A tow minutes later the
lights came on for a few minutes.. .
I The staking feature of the speech
making- program was the seriously
made prediction in the address of R.
A. Booth of Eugene, state highway
commissioner and chief guest of hon
or at the banquet, that in the next
five years 'more than $40,000,000
will be spent In Oregon for ' good
roads and highways. The gathering
was distinctively a good roads boost
ing gathering..
'.- , " Endorse Booth
Some time after his speech the
banquet assemblage, by a unanimous
rising vote, adopted a resolution that
the Medford, ; Ashland and Grants
Pass commercial clubs, having abso
lute confidence in southern Oregon's
' representative on the state highway
commission his entire . capability,
general, ability, .fairness and incor
ruptibility, requested that he give up
. his announced intention of resigning
ana remain . on we stale mgnway
, commission tor ther public good of all
Oregon. . . '
' , , The program of, snappy and elo
' quent speeches was delightfully In
terspersed with songs and other en
tertainment features, - Grants Pass
furnishing a large portion. Good
fellowship, harmony, a plea for all
southern Oregon to pull together and
do away with any. sectional or local
Jealousy in order to. bring about the
development of this great inland em
pire by establishing good roads and
highways, was the keynote of almost
every local. Grants Pass and Ashland
speaker. - 'What would, benefit one
community would hotter all.
. ' Clark Opens Banquet'
. The banquet opened by Mr. Clark
president of the Ashland commercial
. club,, presiding. There was prayer
j . ... - . .1 - -
in a very brief address welcomed the
visitors from the neighboring cities.
Responses were, made by Walter G.
Newcombe on behalf of the Ashland
commercial club; and by Frank C
Bramwell on behalf of the Grants
- The toastmaster of the evening,
'Franklin S. Bramwell, president of
thelrantB Pass commercial club and
vice president of the state chamber
of commerce, was then - introduced
In his eloquent plea for the cities
and towns to all boost and pull to-
gether for the progress and develop.
ment of "the valley he declared that
we had no place for the knocker, and
that the only place for the knocker
was shoveling coal.
'., 'Mr. Bramwell took occasion to
deny the truth of the often made as
sertion that Portland wants to hog it
all, and declared that he knew from
-personal experience as a vice presl
dent, of the state chamber that there
was never, a more unselfish body of
men' who had the good and develop
ment of the state in view at all times
than, the officers and leading mem
: hers of the state chamber. "The
state chamber,"- he said in closing,
"pledges the development of southern
Oregon to equal that of any other
section of the state." . .'.
i . Ovation Given Booth
Mr. Booth when Introduced was
greeted with prolonged applause,
amounting to an ovation.
: He told of the wonderful good
roadp meeting he attended this week
at Klamath Falls to discuss highway
improvements and said that he ,was
authorized by the people of Klamath
county to bring us the message that
they would join with Jackson county
in making the Green Springs moun
tain highway; and they authorized
lilm to bring to Josephine county peo
ple the message that they would Join
them at Waldo. . , ' .
. Mr. Booth then dilated on the
wonderful progress everywhere ; In
the state of the good roads move
ment, and referred to Jackson county
as the pioneer of this fnovement In
Oregon. Referring to the kindness
with which he had been treated on
this .visit' to the valley and the gen
eral pleas made to him to remain on
tho commission he humorously im-.
plored all. his friends of 'this section
to carefully watch to see that he did
not giake the mistake, iu his gener
ous good feeling toward the section,
of trying to send all tho state high
way money to southern Oregon,
Spend 40 Millions
Then he made his prediction of
Oregon' going to spend ovor 40 mil
lions of dollars within the next five
years on Rood roads. Later on he
declared that he often feared that
after this 40 millions will have been
spent, then we would travel thru the
air. ,'..
He then explained why southern
Oregon had fared generously on the
present good roads program, as no
other section had, because of .Its
rough mountain roads, and the need
of improving them, while other sec
tions had better roads. Mr. Booth
praised his colleagues on the state
highway commission. '
Referring to the need of develop
ing the southern Oregon empire he
said that he wished In all fairness to
call attention to the fact that Oregon
had other empires which also needed
development. Of those two great
scenic attractions he said that Cra
ter Lake did not belong all alone to
Jackson county, and the Marble
Caves alone to Josephine county, but
these wonders belong to the whole
world.
VnKinft the Cities
V3th eloquent pathos he spoke of
his close ties to the valley, of how
he and his wife of fifty years were
reared In Grants Pass, and of how
they both hoped to settle down and
pass their declining years in the
scenes of their youth. He drew a
charming picture of the valley as he
had viewed it this week, and said
that from his high view point Its cit
ies and towns almost seemed to be
one, so close were they together, and
that when the continuous highway
between Ashland and Grants Pass
was built they would be still closer
together In every way.
Tremendous applause greeted Mr.
Booth at the conclusion of his ad
dress,. ' .. !'...'
The only other set good Toads
speech of the night was by Fred D.
Wagner of Ashland, whose subject
was "The Green Springs Road."
'." Buy Oregon Goods
Mrs. Ben C. Ely of Portland, who
Is representing the Oregon Industries
association, made a brief address in
which she pleaded, with the people of
the valley to purchase made in the
state and home products. She de
clared that economically for the
good of the whole state "We can't
build up one part of Oregon without
building up all of the state," and
that the Portland chamber of com
merce was pledged to this course of
building up Oregon, first. .
Solon WIlliamB of Treka, who was
Siskiyou county's representative Nat
the banquet, made a brief address
outlining California's highway and
roads plans, during which he stated
that the California legislature was
about to appropriate $40,000,000 for
good roads, and that in three years
time it would be possible to drive
clear thru the state on one highway
to Mexico and drive back on the re
turn trip by the California coast high
way. When Mr. Williams was intro
duced he was greeted with liberal
applause by the banqueters, illustrat
ing his acquaintance and popularity
thruout the Rogue River valley.
: Claude C. Catecounty agricultural
agent. In accordance with the late
ness of the hour, made one of the
most 'pat and brief addresses ever
heard In Medford In responding to
the.subject, ''Agricultural Conditions
and Prospects." He only said:
"Regarding the agricultural and
horticultural conditions outlook 1
will state that they are on a par with
the spirit shown at this gathering."
Then he drank a glass of water to re
lieve his parched throat and ' sat
down, having made a great hit. .,
Legislators Close '-.' .
' And now came the closing part of
the meeting, speeches by the Jackson
county members of the legislature

as could be seen In the dork, he con
tinued gamely until his remarks were
finished. , -
Then Ben Sheldon came to the bat

eloquence, followed by J. A. Wester-
