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." ' . '

NEW YORK, Aug. Traveling In
cognito with a -Companion, Viscount
ess Hhondda, militant suffrage leader
and the first woman to fight for' a
seat in the British House of Lords,
slipped ' quietly into New York re
cently -on- the liner Adriatic for a
much-needed vacation. 3
Last reports were that she had

'. Will Not Lecture.
Viscountess Rhondda does not in
tend to nppear before the American
public,' eitheir. IrtMhfe" role- of a 'lec
turer, like' Mrs. Asqulth. or to ally
herself with' the women's organiza
tions like Lady Astoft.... ' -: ' .:. , v
, She attributes .her failure' to win
a seat in the House of Lords to Lord
Birkenhead, the ' Lord' Chancellor,
who, she says, is a man of great force.
"It will , come.", she declared,! re
ferring to the recognition of women
by the peers. "It is a matter of prin
ciple and It must be see frighti, .' '
"In England we hold your women's
progress, up constantly Before our
women, and I hear you 'feel some
what the same way about 'us. Women
are working together very well in
England, and I do feel that we are
ripe for equal rights. The best men
are with us."
Second Visit Flere.
Among the measures for which the
Viscountess is working and ' .which
holing to the equal rights group are
ri'i ui pay- for men - and women in
civil . service work. a widowed
mothers' pension bill, a mil to make
parents equal guardians of their chil
dren and a bill to change the status
of illegitimate children.
: This is not Viscountess Rhondda's
first visit to America. The vivacious
young -woman, who gladly went to
jail for-setting a letter box on fire
during the reign of the militant
suffragists In England, and who then
went on a hunger strike,- was here
sevon ' years ago with her father, the
' late Lord Ithondda.
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. Glazner
blanked Cincinnati, 2 to 0. and put the
Pirates back in the first division. Phil.
adelphia and Boston split a double-
header, the Braves taking the first 2
to 1, and the Phillies the second 0 to 4
with Pitcher Lefty -Welncrt scoring
four or his team s tallies.
Rigney's error paved the wav for
imcago s 2 to 1 victory over Detroit
in the eleventh while Pratt's homer
gave the Red Sox a 6 to 5 decision in
ten innings over the Athletics.

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. This year most of the

commercial exhibits will have to .be
shown in tents and a tent 150x60
will house the auto exhibit.
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
