MEDFOTJD MATL TftTBTTNTC, rRDFORD. OftEOOy, THURSDAY, 'AUCirST P.I. 1022 PAOTC FIVE i STATE HIGHWAY 7 ENGINEER EXPLAINS C. .LAKE HIGHWAY State Highway Engineer Herbert Sunn... when in Medford today en roiito .to Crater lake with Govei nor Olcott and party, was Informed by a, representative of the Mail Tribune that there had been much criticism of the new road recently opened be tween Medford and Agate on the Cra ter Lake highway. - "that is to be expected," said the state highway engineer," because the road though new is still rough and the people suppose it will get rough er.1. But it won't. It will get smoother and more firm, and in a very-short time will be as fine a dirt ihighway as there is in the state." 1'TnB cause of this is a new and better system of road building. We used to -build d'rt or macadam roads as, hard as they could be built, watered them down and rolled them and then opened them to traffic. The result was the surface soon rut ted out and stayed rutted, and be came worse and worse until it had to be resurfaced. ' '; ; "The, present system is to put on the surface loose, have no binder and tto wetting down and let the traffic pound thevioad' together. . After this has teen .done tor a time, then there is a Solid foundation, the surface can be shipbthed and rolled and there will he a permanently smooth high way or as smooth as a macadam highway can be, with the tremen dous motor traffic that now prevails. ' "We have thousands and thou sands of miles of these roads in the state.j There is always complaint When the road is f'rst opened, some times mass meetings of protest are held. But when the matter Is ex plained: the feeling naturally disap pears! ;And when the road develops lht,o a good road there is, as there Wtll . be in Jackson county, general satisfaction." ' .

CHICAGO. Aug. 31. I My Associated Press). Battling to hold their slim ad vantage over St. Louis in lite American league, the New York "Yankees, outhit by Washington pulled out a 5 to 4 vic tory with the aid of same brilliant fielding, especially by Everett Scott who handled eight chances perfectly. : Babe Ruth poled out his 28th homer and now is only four behind the three leaders. Walker. Ken Williams and Hornsby. Later in the game, however, the home run slugger ended his streak of mild behavior and was banished for u.sputlng a called thirJ strike. Drower of the Senators rapped out two homers. The Giants, despite a 10 to 3 trounc ing at the hands of Brooklyn in the first game of a series at Ebbetts Field retained their six and a half game load over the second place Chicago Cubs, who dropped a ten inning battle to St. Louis 5 to 4. Nehf, McGraw's crack southpaw, was batted orf the mound before a man was retired in the first inning, the Robins clinching the game with six runs. Bur leigh Grimes always had the Giants' attack checked. The St Louis Browns kept pace with the Yanks by walloping Boone and Malls of Cleveland for eighteen hits and an 1 1 to 3 victory. Speaker's pitch ing starr was further depleted when Coveleskie and Morton joined Bagbv on the sick list. Close decisions marked the other major league encounters.

Jackson .County. ;Fair Grounds Praised by "Oregon Farmer" Something 'entirely new in the layr ing out of fairgrounds, at least in the Pacific northwest, has been1 attempt ed and accomplished in . the new Jackson, county fairgrounds at ! Med ford, Ore. . A. "landscape"- plan has been adopted, and .every part of ,lho ground and' every building , compose a part of a scenic and harmonious whole. H. O. Fro bach, secretary of the Medford Chamber of Commercw-riind of the fair, secured the plans from an expert at the Oregon Agricultu ral College. Jackson county had a fair some years ago, but did not have grounds. First, then, ample grounds were procured, the county and city together purchasing 118 acres. Plans for the entire grounds, or at least so much of it as may be used for the next few years, were then adopt ed and work is now being rushed with a view to completion in time for" this fall's fair. Every building is thoroughly-modern, and all floors are." of concrete, .except that of the stock barn. There it was deemed better to have nature's flooring. Every build ing is built on the unit plan, and can be added to without marring -, Us beauty. To the far right Is the women's building, not only well arranged for exhibiting the art and handiwork of women, but with adequate rest rooms ana oiner arrangements xor comiorxj ana convenience. Tiie main exnnm building is 109x75 feet. It will have 36 booths, 12x12. and 12-foot aisles. Over a dozen communities had sign ed up for community exhibits the first of August. A basic prize iof $60 Is given, for a score of 66. and addi tional prizes for first three places. The stock barn is 75x75 feet and will hold 75 head. Here convenience seems to be all that could possibly bo secured. Tents wil! have to be used this year to house the overflow and more barns will be built on a-regular plan, with a judging' arena with in the semi-circle. Thn-grandstand Is 12444.8 feet, and ..Is the .first unit with possibilities for twcUmaidn 'at fither end. It wilt sent 10 00 people. The auto race track is a mile and an eighth and was designed by Jack Prince, who designed the Los Ange les and Tacoma tracks. 'Inside. the auto track Is thte horse race'track.one mile long. Tt will not be comnleted this year.

Use of the county grader and traa tor affected a great saving in getting the grounds ready and the tracks built. All material and everything used except labor has been .furnish ed by Medford business men at cost. A "buy a tree" campaign resulted in the donation of nearly 300 trees, which" hae been or will, be planted where they will do tho most to beau tlfy the; grounds. A fine spirit has been shown throughout -by Medford business interests. The same spirit now seems to animate the farmers. many of whom will exhibit live stock or farm products for the purpose of helping make the fair a success. Fair dates aro September 13-lb.
