X. W. Straus, intelligent

refused, $2,000,0(10 for a strip
lf)0 feet deep and (iOO feet lontr,

thnt he would have. 20 of his 22
acres left, with plenty of room
for his Ambassador hotel.
V The lliltmore hotel opened its
new addition, adding "10 rooms
last year, and is crowded al
.Tady. ,'; A new hotel, -10 stories in

I Further steps toward (ho (level

; of .Jackson county have been taken
I hy tin enmity court with the view
ling of the proposed Elk Creek loop
road, which will traverse a lltlle
j traveled section, with ideal hunt

The loop will he about 20 miles
I in length and will stjii't near Houe

j Two routes are proposed and the
jroimty court has its decision under
advisement. The present road and
j new route are considered,
j The Elk Creek road district has
voted a special levy of SiJiiuo for
the building of the road, the county
I to maintain and improv "as eondi
I lions demand.
1 Word has also been received by
the county court that the applica
tion of .Jackson county for the re
I moval from entry ol approximately
" 2400 acres of public lands, located
on the Hig Applegate, the Little
lApplegate and Rogue rivers, for
recreational purposes had been ap
proved by the Koseburg laud office.
The county court visited the Elk
Creek road route Tuesday and
made an all-day job of it.
County Judge - Sparrow said:
"That section needs a road, as you
can't get Into it now with a can
opener."
' Commissioner Alford said tt was
his third trip over the urea, and
"it in going to be my Inst one.''
Commissioner Burse II said: "The
trail is so crooked you have to back
up to turn around."
An Outlet for Persist
The road will furnish an outlet
for Persist, a stock-raising section.
The hlggest barn in Jackson county
stands at Per.sist, on the Willetts
ranch. It covers an acre of ground
and is constructed of "skinned" fir
poles, and built as barns were built
in pioneer times. The county court
said that any three harns on the
floor of the valley could be placed
in the Persist structure.
Attorney (). ('. Hoggs, represent-
lug a number of land owners in
the Shady Cove summer home dis
trict, filed a request for some gravel
on the road so that the colonists
could get in and out. The court
said it would do the best it coidd
as soon as possible.
County School Superintendent
Superintendent Susan ne Homes
Carter appeared bet ore the court
and requested that the boundaries
of the Pinehurst school district be
lengthened so as to Include, the
new town of Lincoln which is lo
cated on the line between the Pine
burst and Sofia Springs dist nets.
This caused some confusion as to
where the Lincoln children went to
school, and the boundary change
will place them in the Pineliurst
school, which is closer.
The remainder of the regular
; county court session was devoted
to the transaction of routine mat
ters and approval of the mid inoiiTh
hatch of bills.
