ARE SUBMITTED To the Editor: Testerdsy'a editorial on the high way situation In southern Oregon Indlcatea that you have perhapa been somewhat misinformed aa to exactly what took place at the conference between Medford and Ashland chsm bers of commerce, the Jackson county court and the atate highway com mission last Saturday. In order that, any erroneous Impressions may be corrected, we desire to submit the following Information: In the first place, the recommen dation of the state highway com mission, whloh was accepted by those present at Saturday'a meeting, was In no sense an abandonment of the Siskiyou highway reconstruction pro ject, but merely a determent until the financial condition of the Ore gon state highway commission may be more accurately determined: and the construction, which will be un dertaken this winter north of Ash land. IS B nart of the nrnnnjMrl nm. gram of reconstruction, and must be accompiiKnoa before the entire high way can be matlo to conform to standards set up by the Oregon high way commission, . The recommendation of Vie high way commlaslon In moving the con atructlon work for the winter from the Neal Creek section at the top of the Slsklyous to that aectlon north of Ashland was prompted by the knowledge that aulflcllent funds would not be available to complete the entire Job on the top of the mountains In the Immediate future, and It waa 'felt that tlm n.rii.ni.t. aectlon between Ashland and Talent can be completed with the funda available and can be In use; whereas any construction done in th ni Creek district would not be useable until the entire project could be fin Ished. It waa the onlnlnn nf M- A.ntt chairman of the highway commls- oiun, concurred in oy those present at Saturday's meeting, that, lacking definite Information nf av.n.hi. funds by the highway commission wunin tne next two yeara, and par ticularly on account of present agi tation throughout tMm .ntlr. for draatlo reduction In highway comnuasion expenditures, the Ash- ana-iaient construction could well tske precedence over that work fur. ther up on the mountain. Those present at Saturday's meet ing were definitely assured by Chair man Scott of the highway commis sion that we were not to conalder, In any sense, that the highway com mission lhas abandoned Its proposed reconstruction of the Siskiyou moun tain rood, and that thla work will be undertaken and carried through to comoletlon lust . nvm -v.. highway commission can see Its way uieur k secure tne necessary funda from federal and state sources to provide the sum of approximately two mlllon dollars, which It la eatl mtaed will be necessary to complete this work.

There are indications." the article continued, "that the highway com. mission Is about to make announce ment that In view of certain reduc tion in revenue by reducing motor vehicle license fees and the general demand for lightening of the tax bur;n, the time haa come to halt major construction until revenue ar replenished from sources not yet ap parent." To FliiNh Present John. The papr said available funda will be used In completing work now un der way and in closing gapa in roads now near completion, and adda: "For some time Chairman Scott haa Indicated this should be the pol icy of the commission, but the other two members have not always been in accord with him. it was finally decided that Scott should go to Jackson county and discuss with the comity court and other local n terests the advisability of erasing the Siskiyou project from the program. ... "It waa represented by Scott to trse Jackson county people that should the motor vehicle license fee be re duced by the legislature to 9 ther would be loas of 3,3S0.000 In high way revenue, making it Impossible to undertske construction on a large scale unless the reduced revenue we replenished from new source. The reduced fee, he ssld, would leave th eommlaalon about S750.0O0 short in meeting lta debt service, Its main tenance charges and overhead ex pense. There would be no money to match federal aid." Officials Willing. After Scott had revealed the finan cial poaltlon of the department, it I said, representative of Jackson coun ty announced their willingness to forego the Siskiyou project at thl time. "A compensation." th atory con tinued, "It was decided to stralghtea out crooked section of highway be tween Ashland and Talent, at an esti mated cost of 8100.000 and to re build the Wlnaton bridge over th Umpqua, south of Roseburg," The paper states that should th oommlssln decide to carry out th policy Indicated "fairness would seem to require" postponement of con struction of the Wllsor River high way at 13,000,000; the Wolf Creek or short road to the sea at 84,000.000; the Klamath highway at 8800,000, and the Santlam highway at 1, 000,000. The conclusion that postponement, of these projects la Imminent 1 drawn from the action of the com mission In deciding not to go ahead with the Siskiyou work. Like th fretful boaay that klckod over an oil lamp and started th Chicago fire, a thirsty cow struck a apark of genius in th mind of a farmer and caused back-yard well to gush gold and herself to be dis placed by a roaring Hon. A. M. O'Hanlon, manager of th lubricating oil sales department of the notrhweat division for th Oil mor Oil company, who la visitor In Medford, today thus told of th colorful entrance of the nam Oil more Into th oil business. "It wa thirty yeara ago." Mr, O'Hanlon explained. "The late A. P. Ollmore had to have water for hi dairy herd. He wa sinking a well In what I now the heart of Los An- gelea' exclusive residential district. But Instead of securing water, up came black oil and It all looked black for the Ollmore family. Water was hi need. Oil wa no one's need. 'But he thought out a mean of transferring the black of failure Into th gold of good fortune,- and he turned hi attention to the use of oil for road building. He pioneered that field, developed machinery and built thousands of miles of highways. To him goes the distinction of pio neering the good-road movements that have made thla Pacific coast the marvel of motcrl.tii from th world over. "Automobiles were yet to com. What refining crude oil wa car ried on was don to secure kerosen for lamps, such as the bossy kicked over, and a little gasoline for stove." SHOPPING DAYS TO CHRISTMAf MORE '$ ENTRY IN OIL ACCIDENT i
