MEDFOUP ITXIL TRIBUTE. !MEI)POTfD,- OREG"ON TTTTTflSDTAY, .TXNTTARY 8. '1f2. PSGE FIVE URGED FOR UN ST. E In thelp nnnuaj report of the street committee of Uio old city council to the new city 'council, that committee, which consisted of 11. W. Paul, J. V. Jacobs and R.' B. Hammond, urged that the "present traffic urdiance be continued and reasonably enforced, also reviewed the sidewalk building policy and other Improvement matters of the past two years, and made the following Improvement recommenda tions; ''. ."it has been the policy of this committee to' require uncompleted sec tions of sidewalk to,, be constructed where it seemed best. This request has met with a hearty response and records indicate a total of .13,844 feet having been placed by private inter cats and 3085 feet by the city. A total of a little over three and one-fourth miles of cement walk In the two years' program. In addition to this the city has Invested a little oyer $900 In con structing cross walks and In rounding out sharp curb corners. Want Moro Omoiit Wulki "In addition to these major pro jects, many smaller problems have had our attention, such as the opening of certain streets, sewer connections, grading and graveling, etc. "We recommend that the future street committee be nuthorl.ed y the council to carry on the present side walk policy. Namely, that of requlr in gcement walks on at least one side of the street used for foot traffic. Also that to require the completion of such sections of walk where a por tion Is already laid but is not continu ous. All witli the view of encourag ing the use of sidewalks for foot traf fic and of discontinuing the use of the pavement for . same. Increasing car traffic would seem to warrant some educational work being carried on con tinually' so as -to encourage "Safety First" standards. "We urge the grading and graveling of Third street from Fir to Oakdalo, the paving completed from Apple to Jackson on Third street. Also that the parties responsible for the break ing of the pavement on Third street be required to repair same as they have agreed to do. This will then provide a through stieet- from the Pacific Highway to Oakdale avenue and the west side of the city. Urge Opening of 8CU street. ' "We recommend the 1 opening of Sixth street from Kir to Front street. This will provldo a loop route for in creasing tourist traffic, parades, etc. if desired, as well as convenient lanes for regular traffic. Registration fig ures for . 1924 indicate over 00,000 Un.,annl ifnnrlalu hnvlnir rtnaarwl lin f.t(n lret. .' lnokinir nhend for sev-! eral years It would appear that the opening of -tilxth street from Rlvorsido to West Main street Is a desirable thing "We would BUggost that the grading and graveling of East Jackson street be undertaken. "The matter of grading and. gravel ing of South Central avenue has had our attention and we recommend that this be carried on If the property own ers. interested bo agreeable. "A major project which has had our attention is the matter of providing sufficient drainage for the west side. The present storm stewers not being large enough to curry off the surplus water during a. heavy rain. This con dition affects such a large area that it will probably necessitate an expensive piece of construction to remedy it. Therefore it should receive careful consideration before definite steps are taken. Waste Paper Baskets ' "Two places on North Central should receive early consideration. One Is the open ditch on Maple Btreet north of Central and the other Is the open- ditch near the Medford Iron Works. Both of these are subject to overflok and In our opinion are haz ards that should be remedied as soon as the weather will permit. "The use of the bridge that was placed across Bear creek at 12th street seems to Justify the Improve ment of the street from Riverside to the creek, This should be graded and graveled If possible. "We urgo the completion of side walks leading to Washington, Lincoln and Koosevelt schools. "The litter and dirt, particularly on Math street, has received attention and we recommend the purchase and maln talnance of suitable waste paper cans for the business district. Also that the public be urged to cooperate in keep ing the street clean. With this coop eration we feel that the street clean ing department will be able to ac complish much more in 192G than heretofore." , ' ITALIAN CHAMBER READY TO MEET ROME, Jan. 8. (My the Associated Press.) Arrangements are underway for the reopening of tho chamber of deputies which ndjourned last Sat urday until its committees should he ready to report on the electoral bill In troduced by Premier Mussolini. Interest centers in the uuestion whether the deputies of thu Aventlnc opposition will decide to reenter tho chamber of continue their policy of abstention. - A preliminary meeting of the va rious opposition groups is being held here today when it is expected their plan of campaign will bo decided. Tho most prominent opp(H!on leaders have Joined in frumltu a man ifesto to the country which they al ready term a "historic document." Those who have read It say various passages can be recognized ns from the pen of Kignor Turntl, leader of the lntranslgnant socialists; former Fro inter Olollttt nnd former Premier Or lando. Meanwhile tho excitement over the first energetic measures ndoptcd by the government in Us campaign to "clear the situation," is gradually sub Biding and it is not considered likely that the opposition's manifesto will cause much of a stir except perhaps warm discusslsons between tho fascist and opposition newspapers. The chief efforts of the opposition at present are understood to be bent toward trying to avoid .a schism be tween those who wish to return to the chamber and those who Insist upon remaining away. Valentino Pleases Craterian Audiences FF CHARGED EX-SHERI WITH FINE LAXITY PENDLETON, Ore.. Jan. 8. Zocth Houser, retiring sheriff of Umatilla county, whose office was taken over by Rev. K. T.

Other county offices. Including the tax collection . department of the sheriffs Office, were given a clean bill of health, by the audit and com mended for the systematic methods employed. Valentino, "the sheik." has fairly outdone himself in "A Sainted Devil." his latest production, which opened at the Hunt's Craterian yesterday. It has to do with South America and South Americans plctorially beauti ful story of old Spanish customs against modern city life. It shows tho virility of the Pampas against tho so phisticated culture of , Buenos Aires, the Paris of tho Americans. Valentino has a rolo that fits htm to perfection a dashing young South American, fired by the pure Castilllan blood of generations which courses through his veins. Here's the "great lover" -. in the kind of a role the public likes to Bee him in first as a young planter of wealthy parents, then a regular holy- terror, brooding over the loss of his lovely wlfo who was abducted on their wedding day. . .

The Screen At tho Illnllo Nothing we know of in Portland will serve to convert the damp spirit of a rainy day or the troubles of a campaign year Into blissful Joy as rap idly as Reginald Denny's antics In his new play, "The Fast Worker." It is so thoroughly wholesome and sincere in Its comedy and stands out so distinctly American that It la a tribute to the art of the screen. It will ever persist In memory as being proof that the artistic development In the movies lies not so much In the drama aa In farce comedy. For the spontaneous laughter that this play produces is the work of a real artist, Reggie. Oregonlan. "The Fast Worker" will be at the Rlalto theater tomorrow and Satur day. The final showings of the Zane Grey's "The Border Legion," occurs tonight at the Rialto. Antonio Moreno and Helene Chad wick are featured, and there's an all star cast playing in support.

Do Lew of San Francisco was a ffueet at the club luncheon Oils week, He is an electrical engineer of the Associated Oil Co., Paul O. Landry of Klamath Falls, and Gordon Hart of Grants Pass wore also visitors. A guod discussion of the new school Question was had, and the different opinions brought out. No action wan intended to be taken but members of the club were urged to ntiend a meet ing to be held at the library in the afternoon, not as representing the club, but ns individuals. The speaker for the day was C. J. Semon of the Medford Concrete Con struction Co., of this city. He spoke of the inspiration to build his manufacturing plant In Mod ford. That the compuny had succeeded. He also mentioned some of his earlier struggles; how a clay construction company hounded them through Jeal ousy to put them out of business; how their unscrupulous methods did not.prevall. lie told how cement is becoming to be recognized more each year as a strong and practically everlasting ma terial for construction work, both water. While its use has increased above and below ground and under several hundred percent during the last ten years, It is by no means a late or new discovery. Thero are in exis tence today in Egypt structures in perfect condition which A were built B. C. In our own country it is now nosslble to cite many cases where cement hns proven Us superiority over all other materials for durability, and Us UHH is no longer considered experi mental. For Instance, when a pas senger station in New York was built, tho steps were made of granite. On account of the large volume of travel over them it was found necessary to replace them every year. Finally cement steps were put in six years ago, and as yet have shown no wear whatever. We believe we are manufacturing the best glased cement sewtr pipe evr made. In the first place we do not make what Ls generally known as concrete pipe, a coai.o, spongy walk composed largely of gravel and a small per cent of cement. We use one part of the best Portland cement and two parts of sand, one cones and one fine, nnd our pipe is made by machinery which tamps the material into mold by power, making a very dense wall. In addition the core of the mould revolves, giving the inside surface a smooth finish, the coating thus put on serving to make the pipe practically water proof, an ad advan tage possessed by no other pipe. Our pipe has been subjected to a water pressure of one hundred pounds to the siiuaro Inch without affecting it, showing its strength as well as its proof against percolation. Tho luncheon hour proved to be full of interest, there seemed to be many things to talk about, and it was with reluctance that we had to ad journ. F.DWAKD O. HOOT. Mall Train llohbcri.

The Jury found three Papago Indians guilty of manufacture of Tiswin, otherwise an Intoxicating beverage.
