(PXGE EIGHT v 1IEDF0UD MAIL TRIBUTE, MEDFOTW.OIiEGON, MONDAY. JULY 31, 1933 Ti I Foad Improvement Phone Line Building Fire Pre vention Among Many Achievements Chalked Up They're boon to th national foreats the CCO boys I So say of ficials of the Rogue River forest, announcing a splendid' record of achievement for the peace time army in local regions. Already this summer the youtha. who represent the east, the middle weet, the south and the west of the nation; have made Important headway In a program of construc tion and maintenance, which con trtutea an Invaluable asset to the Rogue Rtver national forest. Two hundred and BO miles of forest roads have been Improved and maintained by the CCO. Twenty four miles of new roads have been constructed, Karl Janouch, assistant aupervisor of the forest, reported yes terdsy. Trails, measuring 120 miles, have been maintained and telephone lines, reaching over 17ft miles through the forest territory, have also been maintained. Reduce Fire Hazard One watering range develnpment for the benefit of southern Oregon stock, feeding In tbe forests, also goes on the credit card of the CCO boys. Over 83 miles, they have re duced the fire hazard along the foqdsldes. Nine campgrounds have.oeen im proved and eight buildings con structed by the corps members lo cated In this section. One Interesting development Is found ' In the Diamond Lake and Lake of the Woods roads, which are in 'better condition than In several years, both from Klsmath Pa'ls and Bedford. The Hershberger road, which ci tend from the Diamond lake road to- Hershberger lookout, hw been completed to open up thousands of acres of land to facilitate protec tion ot one of the most valuable stands of timber in the forests. The road up Elliott creek and down Beav er . creek has been Improved, mak ing a large loop of some 4ft miles ftnd opening up much territory for forest protection and recreational op portunities for the public. Improve Camp Ground Camp ground Improvements at Un ion Creek and Lake of the Woods will also be welcomed by the pub lic. There, tables, fire places and other facilities for the convenience of the public, have been added and the grounds Improved. They will be Increased this season to a else that will auppty the demand ot the pub lic, offering adequate camping space to 4000 people. A new boms for the ranger, a five room construction, has also been added to tbe Union Creek camp by tbe CCC'a. At Lake of the Woods, a four -room ranger station has been constructed and sn offloe building is being completed. from Many Htatri The boys in the local contingent represent the state of Illinois, Indi ana, New York, Kentucky, Missouri and Oregon. Many ot them came to southern Oregon kncwlng nothing of outdoor life and absolutely inex perienced In tbe use of tbe hatchet and carpenters' tools. All are being trained along practical tines to fit them for a number of future oc cupations and the forest service ro tates the crews frequently, toward the accomplishment of this end. The boys are all learning rapidly, Mr. Janouch stated yesterday, com plimenting them highly upon their splendid spirit of cooperation and de sire to learn the forest work and to adapt themselves to the western conditions. For their pleasure bsllgrounds have been located In all the camps and baseball competition has become so hot that the CCO contribution to sports here promises to rival In Im portance their aid to the forest service. E E (Continued from Page One) or be transferred or that he himself be permitted to resign. That was astounding because Hull la such a mild-mannered man It would be al most impossible conceive of him with bloodshot orhs. Apparently the conference was nothing but s collection of misun derstandings. Most of them centered shout Hull. The London newspapers treated htm as a fifth-rate actor In the In ternational drama. They gave all the limelight to Moley. In addition Moley appears to have sent a wireless mes sage to the American embassy at London which was subject to mis interpretations. Some Interpreted the message ss suggesting that the embassy keep sn eye on the American delegates. The Hotel Manx, 8an Francisco, which Is under the ownership or Harvey M. Toy, is undergoing many new Improvements, many of the rooms are being done over In tbe futuristic styles. This Is all In keep ing with the Manx policy ot giv ing the guests the best, Harvey M. Toy will be remember ed as former state highway commis sioner under Governor Richardson Mr. Toy was also president of the California State Hotel association for three years and more recently man ager of the campaign of Adolpn Uhl for mayor of San Francisco. The Hotel Manx, with Ha splendid downtown location, beautiful lobby, comfortable and attractive rooms, ex cellent coffee shop and restaurant, always enjoys a nice business from Medford. There was also the Inner trouble about Moley's proposed . currency agreement, Hull declined to sign It until he heard from Mr. Roosevelt. It Is well he did. Mr, Roosevelt sided with Hull. These things led to mutual em- I barrassments which all parties now agree are Just as well forgotten. Actually they were NOT much more Important than other squabbles backstage In the American delegation. PRETTY BOY KISSES MUSKOGEE, Ok la., July 31. (AP) A hand-klsstng episode with Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd as the hero brightened the sketchy history of the elusive outlaw last night. Mrs. Jack James, who went to school with Floyd at his old home, Salllsaw, Ok). a., aald Floyd entered her lunch stand today and asked for a cup of coffee, while a companion waited at the wheel of an automo bile. Edward Foreman, a filling station attendant, said he also recognized Floyd and said he saw several ma chine guns In the automobile. The hottest one was between ex-Oov. Cox and Senator Couzene. It seems Cox accused Couzens of whispering the news that a temporary stabiliza tion agreement was near. Couzens laughed at him at first, but Cox was serious. Couzens Investigated and found Cox himself had been the leak Inadvertantly of course, t A certain newspaperman drew the news out of Cox by a series of trick questions. To this day Cox does not realize that he was duped by smart reporter. He and Couzena fought over the matter continuously. They would have put on boxing gloves if both had not passed -the age when retirement from the ring la obligatory. The whole conference appears to have been on a similar unelevattng plsne. Most of the returning" delegates and near -delegates confess privately that they wish they had remained In Washington. That makes It unanimous,' Some near-Insiders have the Idea that the state department la NOT big enough to hold both Moley and Hull hereafter. Those who should know the presi dent's mind do not agree. They whisper that Mr. Roosevelt did not expect the two to work together. Hull Is an Internationalist; Moley a na tionalist. What Mr. Roosevelt want ed from them la a balance between these two views, and NOT personal harmony, He will maintain the team If possible.

A physician who examined blm said that there was no Indica tion that he had been "doped" and that the pills may have been seda tives.
