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.

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.

see any of his captors and did not
believe he would be able to Identify
any of them.
"My feet were tied together snd 1
was handcuffed," young O'Connell
ssld la the Interview. "This proved
to be rather uncomfortable but the
only mark I have from It Is a small
one on the wrist.
Constantly Blindfolded.
"Because of my blindfold X had no
opportunity to see any of the per
sons guarding me. My eyes were not
taped, except to hold the edges of
the bsndsges In place.
"Several times I was required to
sign messages sent to my family by
the kidnapers. The latter were very
careful hat I should not sea them on
such occasions. The bandage was
lifted slightly. Just enough for me
to see the edge of the paper where
I placed my name. The bandage
was not tight enough to hurt my
eyes and they suffered no serious ef
fects from looking for three weeks at
cloth."
Young O'Connell ssld that from
time to time his captors gave him
white puis of some kind and that
they made him perspire and feel
drowsy. 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. "I received food regularly," O'Con
nell said, "but did not eat much.
The chief reason was that It consist
ed mostly of sandwiches. They can
become very tiresome as. a steady
diet."
