Of course, it would be very nice for Medford to have a paved high way to Ruch and the Applcgato valley. It would also be very nice to have a paved highway from Medford to every other section of Jack son county. - Hut we believe anyone who will investigate the mat ter carefully, not from the standpoint of local self interest, "but from the standpoint of the welfare of Jackson! county as n whole, will agree that this is no time to construct such a pavement. In fact, highway experts are pretty well agreed, that except on main trunk lines, where) travel is exceptionally heavy, a macadam road is superior to a hard surfaced road, when cost, maintenance and general service arc considered. ; There is now such a road between Jacksonville and Ruch, and it is undoubtedly one of the best roads in Jackson county. The road from Medford to Jacksonville has recently been repaired, and with proper attention can be made to answer every demand upon it. When a state highway from Itoseburg- to Marshfield was consider ed the state highway department abandoned the idea of n hard sur face road at the outset. In the opinion of Marshfield citizens the present macadam road is satisfactory in every way, and State Sena tor Hall of Marshfield recently maintained that it was even superior to a paved road. A recent government road bulletin strongly advocated the maca dam road in rural districts: "The paved highway, though still I" an experimental stage, Is csscntiul for the main arteries of travel in all thickly settled districts. Hut in rural districts, a good gi-uvoi-macadam' road, has many ad vantages. When a puvement breuks tho cost of rcpulr Is very high, but a macadam road can bo repaired easily and promptly. Tho mac adam roud tends to safer and more careful driving, and unllko the pavement Is also well adapted to hauling by team and wagon. In general, tho pavement is necessary only whore extremely heavy traf fic renders It Imperative." Advocates of tho paved highway declare the county has the money and it might as well be spent. With taxes at their present altitude, and with the county road indebtedness what it is, we don't believe this reasoning appeals to the people of the county as a whole. If the unsold bonds must be sold,. and the money imust be spent in the Ruch-Jacksonville district, then we would suggest that instead of building a pavement, this money be devoted to improving and main taining tho present good roads there and the Niirplus devoted to im proving tho other country roads in that district. The Mail-Tribune believes there is need for only two paved high ways in Jackson county. One, the Pacific highway, which we aiow have. The other, the Crater Lako highway, which because of the in tensive travel crowded into two or three months, can't give proper service or be economically maintained unless it is hard surfaced. What other money may bo available, shouldn't our judgment, be used to improve' the country roads in all parts of the county, from Ruch to Butte Falls, and from Willow Springs to Climax, not by paving them, but by gravelling and grading them, so the maximum transportation service may he secured at the minimum cost.

TIIK WIXTKK'S been a wonder, and is a wonder still; the gent lias made a blunder who runs the weather mill; we cannot help believing he nodded at the switch, but none of us is grieving the weather is too rich. The bards seek fitting stanzas, and search around in vain; it's .summerlike in Kansas, it's suni merlike in Maine; the roses in Nebraska in gorgeous colors glow, and even in Alaska they're short of ice and snow. The winter is a dinger enjoy it while ye may; next week may be the bringer of tempests stark and gray. Knjoy the fragrant zephyrs, enjoy the golden day, like lambs and colts and heifers that in the pas ture play. Then when the moisture drizzles from bargain coun ter cloud, and when the norther sizzles, and blizzard shrieks aloud, when sunshine doesn't function, the mem'ry of these days should be a soothing unction to all despondent jays. "Ah, well," we'll say together, like dead game sports in line, "we had a streak of weather that was extremely fine. The weather man may drive us indignant with his snows, hut he can not deprive us of memo ries like those I" These days are grand and gaudy, enjoy them while ye may; for weather punk and shoddy, porehanee, is on the way.

Tho fifth teat was a lalapa toona. It consisted in running- quickly up two flights of atairs and ouaervinit? the effect on your pulse. Tho effect, normally. Is of course an increase of 20 or 25 boats to the minute; after a minute or so, when the pulso begins to slow again, you should feel tho heart beating more forcibly, thump-thump, against your ribs, until the pulse rate has about reached the normal resting rate." I nlways give this test last, for If one happened to have some Buch affliction as an aneurism, one might not como downstairs again afoot. Tho thump thump Is worth consid ering more in detail.

Many a heart that murmurs is normal. Many a vic tim of a purely anatomical diagnosis of heart disease suffers only in his imagination, which has been twisted awry.

That she is: too good 'for you; she may begin to think so herself, and that will bring no mirth and laughter to your fireside.
