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.

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

est type of patriotic sentiment enthu
siastically expressed.

chapter's membership. Including the
"rank and file,'" is as follows:.
Mrs. Gordon MacCrncken, regent:
Miss Grace Chamberlain, vice-regent:
Mrs. J. P. Dodge, second vice-regent;
Mrs. Caroline Schuermnn, treasurer;

The chapter, as yet, has no perma

CITY ROAD BILL
SALEM, Ore.. 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.

estimated to represent $170 per capita.'
