Some time ago a number of secretar ies of Clinmbers of Commerce called on Governor Olcott to confer with him relative to a statewide movement for the preservation of the scenery along Oregon's highways. It was known that for some tlmo tho governor was deeply interested in a constructive effort to preserve this scenery after he had seen what hap pened along the paved highway somo twenty miles cast of Astoria which was made desolate by logging dera tions. Several bills have been adopted by the legislature now in session that will give the state highway commission control over certain classes of lands, but there still remains the greater part of the highways along which the de struction of scenery must be controlled by public sentiment. The governor placed nn obligation upon the secretaries which was that of working out a plan to control the destruction of trees, shrubs, and other natural scenic attractions. The plan adopted was the formation of organi zations of county units and Jackson county will be the first one in the state to so organize. The importance of the undertaking was immediately recognized by the two branches of the federal govern ment, that of the forestry and national park service. The state highway com mission as well as the county judge and commissioners who have all ex pressed themselves as being willing to see that this movement is successfully carried thru. It has been considered of such importance by the federal authorities that the use of the federal court room In the post office building at Medford has been granted for the convention which will be held next Thursday. Ul GIVE BANQUET AT AUSTIN, FEBY. 22 France's national debt Is fifty per cent greator than at the time of sign ing the armistice. ASHLAND. Feb. 21. A brilliant so cial event Is In proBpect for our citi zens, the date being on Washington's blrttylay, Feb. 22, at the evening hour. The scene will be Hotel Austin, and the hostesses will be meniheYs of Mount Ashland chapter. Daughters of . the American Revolution. The cir cumstance of a "revolutionary" atmo sphere pervading the familiar hostlery should in nowise deter anyone from being present. With the Daughters the terms Revolution and Patriotism are synonymous. The banquet feature will be an elaborate one, while the Intellectual feast will be in keeping with tho merits of the substantial re past. A diversified literary and musi cal program will be accompaniments of the banquet, which will begin promptly at six o'clock. The public generally Is Invited, reservations for tho event being made on a one-dollar baBls. Tho Wednesday Afternoon club, a leading social organization of this city, hnd planned an entertainment at the Presbyterian church on the same evening, but hnve postponed it until the afternoon of the day following, a graceful concession to make under tho circumstances, whereby a single and united observance of the holiday will be in order, Instead of a dual one as originally proposed. The records show that Mount Ash land chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, the local unit of the colonial system, was organized as late as July 8, 1920, by Mrs. John A. Keating, stnto rogent, the charter be ing confirmed by the national society, Oct. 21, 1920. A score of members was the nucleus of tho Ashland chapter, the present membership being 34, and seven more applications are on the waiting list, tho qualifications of whom as to ancestral antecedents are subject to approval by the national society. Upholding patriotic Ideals, and doub ly encouraged by the example set by our revolutionary forebears as handed 'our antecedents of down in American history from the colonial period to the present time, the organization's chief aim Is to perpetu ato American institutions, at the same time honoring with fervent zeal the hallowed traditipns of the past In early chronicles, and In liko measure set ting an example for the present gener ation to follow. This is locaily in- jstanced by the chapter's ohacrvanro of 1 holidays notably patriotic in character. I Responding to nn invitation from the Klks, Mount A"ii!ii:id chapter joined 'that order In the covin atlon of Flag ; day last Juna, before the permanent organization cf the chapter had been perfected, and In September Constitu tion day was also must fittingly ob served. It follows, therefore, that the Washington birthday celebration will bo nn Ideal one as reflecting thehigh est type of patriotic sentiment enthu siastically expressed.

Feb. 21. (Special). Tho entire membership of the Jackson county court Is intending tho legisla tive session at Salem during Its clos ing days and evincing deep Interest In several of tho measures before the solons. A bill originating in tho senate which bad met with the hearty en dorsement of the Medford city council and chamber of commerce as well as prominent Ashland citizens, was not as favorably considered by the county court. It provided that a part of the road fund taxes raised in cities should bo spent on city streets rather than all of it, both that part raised in the coun try districts and that pnrt raised In the cities, being spent exclusively on tho county roads. For tho first time dur ing tho session, Representatives Car tor and Sheldon differed on a mutter of local Jackson county Interest. The bill was beaten In the houso by a close vote. Tho county court, how ever, agreed with Mr. Sheldon that whllo they did not want to disturb their road program for tho summer of 1921, they would agree that a part of the road funds raised In those cities after 1921 should be returned to the city for the purpose of repairing and maintaining city streets. It Is believed that this promise on the part of the county court will smooth out tho mat ter amicably and be generally satis factory in Jackson county. A much loss satisfactory condition exists in Lane county whoro the coun ty court nnd tho city authorities of Eugene are In a sharp disagreement over this point. A bill allowing a city or 6000 or more to purchase auto camp grounds nnd aviation fields aB well ns other slmilnr grounds, passed the house Suturday. ni';ht. This was a Medford measure re quested by the city council to enable Medford to havo n suitable auto camp ground nnd to participate In the own ership of tho aviation field and county fair grounds just south of the city along the Pacific Highway. Now that the fights for tho two ap propriations which Jackson county asked, Prof. Relmer's station at Tal ent and tho Medford armory havo been won, the attention of the Jackson county delegation is directed largely to tho reapportionment fight. Your cor respondent predirts that Jackson coun ty will not be hurt as badly as the bill reported out by the committee would havo done. Whether this result will be accomplished by defeating all re apportionment or by forcing conces sions asked by Jackson county mem bers Is uncertain. iho committee on railways and transportation, of which Representa tive Sheldon is a member, is having a very hard tussle with the general problem of regulating jitneys and auto, trucks on the highways. A bill to this end has passed tho senate nnd will be ono of the important measures to be acted uiKin by the house during tho re maining few days of tho session. One of tho sharpest fights occurring in either house was the initial set-to In the senate yesterday on tho reap portionment matter during which Sen ator Thomas openly charged Senator smith of Josephine county with having dodged a votn on the measure with the intent of Selling out the Interests of Josephine county. Tho reapportion ment bill wan sent back to tho commit tee for amendment. Representative Sheldon's bill ex empting road bonds from taxation nnd thereby making thorn return a little larger revenue, which he fought thru the houso against a unanimously ad verso report by tho committee, was killed in tho senate during Senator ThomaB's absence. Messrs. Sheldon and Thomas got the bill reconsidered this morning nnd it was passed. Coun ty Judge Gardner feels that this means a considerably larger return to the county from tho sale of the $500,000 in bonds recently authorized. A last-minute change In tho Jncksou county salary bill was mado In the senato this morning when the salary of the county judge was raised from $1800 to $2000 per year. Mr. Carter Is onjoying a well-earned rest after weeks of tho most strenuous work in helping to draft tho general highway road program bills in which ho had a prominent pnrt. Fields crops of Canada last year are estimated to represent $170 per capita.'
