ROAD COIN SAVED
GRAB IS BELIEF
Reallocation Request Is Ex
pected to Be Turned Down
by Highway Commission
Means Much for Relief
Society and Clubs
Edited by Eoa Nealon Hamilton
The protest made to th highway
commission Saturday ,t Portland,
against the re-allocation of iederal
road funds, asked by Multnomah
county and the city of Portland, by
representatives of county Judges and
commissioners from 28 out of 38
counties in the state, six highway
association, chambers of commerce
and a number of cities' will not
doubt result In the allocation made
by the highway commission and bu
reau of public roads remaining as It
Is. according to Jackson county men
who attended the meeting, i
..i.inn is Mtnected early this week.
The request for re-allocatlon, if
granted, would take 1,000,000 from
the other parts of the state and add
it. tn the S600.000 already apportioned
for roads In Multnomah, the claim
of the latter county being that 87
per cent of the unemployed live In
the Portland area and that, according
to the Idea of the federal road appro
priations there should be re-allocatlon
and they should receive 60 per
cent of the 60 per cent apportioned
for secondary highways, and munic
ipal work of Oregon's total of 6,
100.000. The protesting delegations Insisted
that the allocation made by the
highway commission, alter months
of study and work, on a basis of
population, area and mileage of post
roads, according to the national re
covery act, are fair to all parts of
the state and should remain as they
are. Also, If re-allocations was made
It would delay work, which would be
a serious blow to relief of labor this
winter.
The representatives from Jackson
county attending the meeting were:
County Judge Earl B. Day. Commis
sioner Ralph Billings, City Attorney
Geo. McClure, Tom Cummings, secre
tary of Ashland chamber of com
merce, and S. Sumpter Smith, repre
senting the Medford chamber of
Commerce.
If the re-allocatlon was granted -it
would not affect the Siskiyou con
tract, awarded wm. Von der Hellen. as
that Is a part of the main highway
allocations, but It would reduce the
$60,000 allotted for the underpass
bridge of the Southern Pacific at
Ashland and the paving and con
necting with Ashland, the $20,000 tor
widening the Pacific highway eight
feet on Riverside avenue through
Medford. which will be ordered In the
near future, and S76.500 for several
bridges In this county, Including two
on the Williams Creek highway.

GOLD
EL PASO, Tex. (UP) Gold smug
gling the newest border Industry
has appeared on the Rio Grande.

but tourists and Americans working
In Juarez have been carrying them
across the river to obtain the 10 per
cent premium.
Speculators can afford to pay the
premium since coins sell at $27.50 on

he has bought $1000 In TJ. S. gold for
shipment to the British market.

HOUSTON, Texas (UP) When a
mosquito has malaria, he (or she)
also has mumps, according to Dr.
C. P. Coogle, malarlaloglst for the
United States Public Health service.
Dr. Coogle Is supposed to know
more about malaria than any other
man in the United States, and pos
sibly in the world. He admits that
he has studied the ailment exclusively
for 17 years.
"When a mosquito bites someone
with malaria," he Bald, "the malaria
parasites go Into the mosquito's stom
ach, where they reproduce and pass
Into the salivary glands. These glands
become swollen, and the' mosquito
then has what In humans is called
the mumps. When the mosquito bites
again, the victim gets the malaria
parasites."
Coogle said malaria generally was
considered to be the most prevalent
communicable disease along the Gulf
coast, causing more economic loss
than any other disease, but compara
tively few ratalltles.
The malaria death rate Is highest
among babies, he said.
SALEM, Ore. (UP) A great pro
portion of Oregon's high property tax
delinquency springs from heavy in
debtedness of Oregon municipalities,
reports the state tax commission.
At the beginning of this year mu
nicipalities of the state had an aggre
gate Indebtedness of ' a76.209.471,
against an assessed valuation of S528.
906,387. Municipal debts came to
14.41 per cent of valuation, while
6chool district bonds and other forms
of obligations bring the gross per
centsge to 18.57.
Willamette Towns Lowest.
In general, reports the commission,
indebtedness Is lowest In Willamette
valley towns, highest In the coast re
gions. This Is accounted for by the
fact most Willamette valley towns are
based principally on agricultural In
dustry, which has remained more
stable than the lumber industry of
the coast area.
Highest Indebtedness In the state is
that of Warrenton In Clatsop county.
Warrenton has a population of 683,
municipal debt of (599.110. Assessed
valuation of the town is 82 1,831. but
high school bonds and other forma
of Indebtedness bring the total to
92.71 per cent of valuation.
Some Out or Debt.
Numerous small towns of the state
are entirely out of debt, while In
debtedness of others la negligible.
Most obligations were Incurred In
relatively prosperous times, when
taxes were usually paid and Oregon
did not foresee the depression.
Net municipal Indebtedness of Ore
gon towns, together with percentage

valuation Includes the following:

GOLD LEDGE IS
AIM OF
EARTHPROBING
Operations Miles Under

Centerville, Calif. Old
Stream Bed Is Objective
OLD WATER TANK
By United press
CENTERVILLE. Cal. While many
of the world's foremost mining engi
neers shake their heads dubiously,
W. L. Lei and is directing operations
at the California Treasury Box gold
mine which may revolutionize all
previously conceived mining theories.
Backed by a lifetime of gold hunt
ing and engineering. Lei and is pre
paring to start hydraulic operations
miles underground to tap a hitherto
unreachable source of the precious
yellow metal.
Grimy, perspiring miners swing
picks monotonously and unceasingly
in a tunnel under and paralleling the
widely known Mammoth Channel,
where Butte creek twists and turn-'
bles through the rugged hills 15
miles east of Chlco.
Already, they have hewed through
more than three-fourths of a mile
of stubborn lava. As they advance
toward Mammoth Channel, an an
cient burled river channel considered
aa large as the vast Columbia river
bed. the workers blast away boulders
and erect timbers.
The work proceeds despite the
warning of experts who claim under
ground hydraulic mining through
ground that requires timbering la
Impossible.
Located approximately 139 feet be
low Mammoth Channel, the tunnel
eventually will be upraised into that
chasm burled unknown centuries ago
when tons of lava seared scorching
paths down mountain aides and filled
the stream beda
A reservoir has been constructed
at the tunnel portal. From there
water will be piped to the old chan
nel and released with terrific force
against walls of the underground
gorge, which previously have been
blasted.
A specially constructed steel flume
will carry the gravel and water out
of the tunnel. Lei and expect to
run aa high aa 3000 carload per day
through the flume.
Machinery and present operations
have cost Leland and his associates
thousands of dollars, but he la confl
dent expenditures will be more than
Justified. Butte creek la the only
stream which has been able to cut
through the lava and reach this un
derground channel and Immense
wealth has been taken from its sands
and gravels.
Leland believes most of the gold
found In Butte creek country has
come from the channel he seeks to
tap. but at a higher point. Be be
lieves his operatlona will carry him
Into virgin gold-bearing sands.
Other men connected with this
unique attempt to wrest wealth from
another of nature's Jealously guard
ed treasure chests Include I. N Dally,
Seattle, who has leased an option to
mine the upper two and one-halt
miles of Mammoth Channel; R. O.
Percy, mining superintendent; Re
B. Goodcell, widely known Los An
geles attorney and former San Ber
nardino county superior Judge and
Internal revenue collector, who is
company president, and 8. H, Percy,
vcmura, vice-president.
AS DIVER'S SUIT
WAUKESHA, Wis. (UP) A diver's
helmet constructed from an old hot
water tank has been given Its first
successful tests by its two youthful
builders here. The two youths who
made the helmet are Earl Schley and
Larry Knoebel.
The helmet, which weighs 70
pounds, in its first tests in Pewau
kee lake and an abandoned stone
quarry, was taken to depths of 25
feet. Later in the Waukesha public
swimming pool the lads were able to
correct several defects which became
apparent In the shallow water.
The young Inventors made their
diving helmet by cutting out the bot
tom and sides of the boiler, leaving
apertures for the wearer's arms. A
square hole then was cut In one end
and a piece of windshield glass was
soldered Into place. The air aupply
Is furnished by 60 feet of garden hose
fastened to a pipe on the helmet that
was used for the cold water Inlet on
the tank. The other end of the hose
Is connected to two double action
force pumps which furnish the air.
When the helmet Is used It Is
placed on the head and shoulders of
the wearer, and the pumps started.
The diver steps from a small boat,
and the weight of the helmet car
ries him to the bottom, where he is
able to walk about unhampered. The
air forced into the helmet escapes
under the sides.
A flying machine gun, spitting
smoke and flame as It dives out of a
cloud, is the new Insignia of the 79th
pursuit squsdron at Barksdale field,
Louisiana.

"I WATCH MY NERVES as carefully I do my
plane," Colonel Turner says. "I smoke Camels
for the sake of healthy nerves, and I enjoy them
more because of their mildness and better taste.
To me Camels are a much finer cigarette and I
never have to glv. a thought to Jangled nerves."

COLONEL ROSCOE TURNER, in discussing healthy
nerves and cigarettes, says :
"Breaking air records is an exciting business and
s nerve-wracking ne I I know because I have gone
out after a whole flock of records and managed to
fiick off quite a few. Like most pilota I smoke a lot
n fact, I enjoy smokingany time. But I watch my nerves
as carefully as I do my plane. I smoke Camels for the
take of healthy nerves, and I enjoy them more because
. of their mildness and better taste. To me Camels are a
much finercigaretbe, and being a faithful Camel smoker,
1 never have to give a thought to jangled nerves."
O O
Are you nervous? Irritable? Try Camels and get
fresh slant on yonr smoking. Being a milder cigarette.
Camels are better for steady smoking. You will find that
Camels never get on your nerves... never tire your taste.
