Items of Interest From the Rogue River Valley OUT THURS., BUILD ROAD TO SHALE ASHLAND, May 18. Though not exactly remindful of a convict camp working out penalties on the highways nevertheless the results obtained by the boosting element of this town, which on Thursday of this week ac complished a prediglous amount of construction on the road leading from the Dead Indian thoroughfare to the scene of the shale deposits which are being developed, brought conviction with the spirit displayed by an army of local folks helping the project along on a purely volunteer basis. The high way particularly involved is one near ly five miles in length which will con nect the shale fields with the Dead Indian road propery. There is ma chinery approximating $50,000 in value already Installed on the grounds. The output contemplates a production of two barrels of oil to the ton of shale with a by-product of 12,000 feet of gas also. Allowing 3000 l'eet of gas a ton to get the oil, a surplus of 9000 feet of gas per ton would be available for commercial purposes. On Thursday the bury assumed the phase of a saints' rest aspect, to such an extent were business houses closed, even in cluding the banks. The hour for start ing was 8 o'clock a. m., and the exodus began right on time, with pickaxe and spade in evidence, also many cars and trucks, instead of banners flying. Im promptu sentiments, enthusiastically expressed, encouraged the volunteer brigade in going over the top, a terse refrain being vociferated about as fol lows: i Ashland is a grand old town Where people freely think, Thus causing critics bold to use Just tons of printers' ink; Yet Ashland, on her scenic throne, Right near Old Grizzly's shale, Delights in shocking tourist squads Then turns and shocks her kale. ; Mr. and Mrs. A.
