Baker, Medford, secretary, and Fred
Perrlne, Oregon City, treasurer.
Siskiyou Road First
The plan .Is to organize similar to
the Redwood Highway association.
The first step will be to organize a
concerted movement for rebuild trig
obsolete sections beginning with the j
roaa over tne mssiyou mountains ana
some of the northern sections where
width Is not great enough and cur
vature too sharp for modern travel.
Prom each of the twelve counties
represented there will be a vice presi
dent to work with the other associa
tion officers. These were elected as
follows:
Jackson county, C. E. Gates, form
er highway commissioner; Josephine

dent will serve as chairman , of the
county board on which will be three
other members selected through co
operation of the city and chambers
of commerce.
T. O. Russell, president of the Eu
gene chamber of commerce, pledged

Dot work against other highways but
In cooperation with them for a prog
ram to develop the utmost access to
Oregon from every 'part of the coun
try. Plana for a booklet to advertise

committee appointed to care for the
work. It is headed by O. T. Baker,
of this city, who submitted tne
dummy of a booklet, which met
with general approval. The com
mittee will meet for further de
velopment of this advertising plan

tion. It will be financed by the
resorts and chambers of commerce

BABY
FRETFUL,
RESTLESS?
Look, to this cause
When your baby fusses, tosses and
seems unable to sleep restfully, look
for one common cause, doctors say.
Constipation. To get rid quickly of
the accumulated wastes which cause
restlessness and discomfort, givo a
cleansing dose of Castoria. Castona,
you know, is made specially for
children's delicate needs. It is a pure
vegetable preparation; contains no
harsh drugs, no narcotics. It is so
mild and gentle you can give it to a
young infant to relieve colic Yet It is
as effective for older children. Cas
toria's regulative help will bring re
laxed comfort and restful sleep to
your baby. Keep a bottle on hand.
Genuine Castoria always has the
name:

CAR OWNERS
CAN TAKE A TIP FROM CAR
BUILDERS WHEN BUYING TIRES
In 1930 and again for 1931 the builders of America's finest auto,
mobiles, in practically every price dais, selected more U. S. Tires as
original equipment than ever before. No other tires showed such
remarkable gains in manufacturers' sales . i t : a significant factl
Let it guide you to the greatest tire values your money can buy more
mileage than you've ever known an extra margin of safety, beauty
in harmony with the finest, fleetest cars. In short, take a tip from
car builders and join the Big Swing to U.S. Tires. We're ready for
you with complete stocks, fresh from the factory and the lowest
prices ever placed on U. S. quality.

1931 IS REWARDING CAREFUL SAVERS
Building and Loan's 1930 Record
9f)o(Q) SAIFIS
The year 1930 put all types of Investment to a crucial test. How did
.' building and loan fare? At the end of that year of widespread financial
disappointment, savings invested with building and loan associations were
more than 99 safe.
This safety record was not the achievement of a few selected institutions.
It represents the average security afforded by all the associations in this
country.
Nor was it an isolated example of building and loan safety. For through,
out all the wars, panics and depressions of the last hundred years, building and
loan founded upon the basio human need for shelter has never
failed to demonstrate its depression-proof stability.
What does this record mean to you as a saver? It means that had you
placed your savings "hit or miss" with every building and loan association
in the country last year, your dollars would have yielded you an attractive
income and would have remained more than 99 intact.
SUCH IS THE OUTSTANDINGLY SOUND INVESTMENT FIELD IN
WHICH THE JACKSON COUNTY BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATION
IS PREEMINENT. IN 1931, AS IN EVERY YEAR SINCE 1909, THIS
INSTITUTION PROVIDES 100 PROTECTION.
No funds in our care have ever shrunk a dollar. ' Every penny of due
interest has been paid promptly. And today our customers see the safety
of their savings and the regularity of their interest assured by our large
resources, surplus and careful, economical management.
This Bame protection is open to you whether your savings are large oq
small. Send for our latest Statement of Condition,

To the Editor:
It appears from a recent editorial
In The Mall Tribune that you are
not much pleased to see Portland
hornswoggle a lot of the highway
funds for building new speedways
to Tillamook before the Paclfio high
way over the Slaklyous have been
rebuilt or modernized.
In this matter the metropolis did
not act strange or unnatural in any
way, just played the game the wny
she has always played and In fact
the way many county seats play It:
To the victor belongs the spoils. To
build the best roads around the capi
tals where most voters and tax
payers are located and did not the
voters at last election cause the re
moval of the state government from
Salem to Portland? In return of
which we got free power, got rid
of our local highway commissioner
This percentage assumes that the TOTAL liabilit
ies of building and loan associations which went
into bankruptcy or receivership or were taken over
by State authorities in 1930 in all forty eight states
of the Union, represent a complete loss. No allow
ance is made for the probably high recovery of the
assets involved.

and caused Copco to start building
a little below the state line.
Of even greater Importance Is the
coast road now nearlng completion,
a project which only a few years
ago was considered only a wild
dream until B. P. Jones came out
and stirred up the animals. The
entire coast region from Sonoma
county to Astoria will do all In their
power to draw traffic to their road
and belittle the Pacific highway.
There will be several cross roads
from the coast to the Willamette
region and all heading for Portland.
The prospect of getting funds for
this section Is dark Indeed. It Is a
well-known fact that every home
seeker that can be coaxed to locate
In the state by Portland organiza
tions will be settled in that trade
area. After one road to Tillamook
will be two or more, more settlers,
more small -gardens, berry, chicken
and goat farms. More Job hunters
clamoring for work, more voters for
the political machine, more trade
for Portland stores, including "the
big store." Why spend money on
a mountain 340 miles away, with no
promise of returns.
Eastern Oregon also wants more
roads. BUI Hanley knows his onions
as well as he knows Oregon and if
any crumbs fall from the Portland
table, he will get them.
