GRANTS PAfiS. Jan. JO. (Spl.)
The application of the Gold Coaat
railroad to the interstate commerce
commission for permission to buCd
a lino from Port Orford to Leland
Is the first atep In a program for
the development of southwestern
Oregon, declares Herbert R. Dewart,
Gold Beach attorney.
A survey shows 12 billion feet of
timber In the district along the pro
posed line.
Application for a permit to build
the road was filed In Washington
D. C. December 14. with Harrison
Osborne of New York City named as
president and the length of the pro
posed line 95 miles.
The proposed location would be
gin at Port Orford. run south along
the coast throuRh Frankford to the
Rogue river, and up the Rogue river
through Agness, lllahe and Msrlal to
connect with the Southern Pacific
main line at Leland.
"The Oregon Engineering corpora
tion." wrote Dewart, "of which Gil
bert E. Gable is president and of
which I have the honor of being
secretary, has as lte present objec
tives a development of southwestern
Oregon, and we hope to assist In
opening up the district between here
(Gold Beach) and Grants Pass to
begin with. Having done this, what
have you?"
Press dispatches from Gold Beach
said Dewart, there named as secre
tary of the Port Orford Dock & Ter
minal company, will delay final pur
chase of the proposed dock and ter
minal sites at Port Orford until word
Is received from the interstate com
merce commission.
The future depends on whether or
not the federal authorities believe
that a railroad between Port Orford
and the centrnl portion of the state

ITALY TAKES OVER
CONTROL OF LARGE
REGION IN AFRICA
(By the A.-soclsted Press)
Italy moved today to take Imme
diate control of some 50,000 square
mirH of territory In Africa which" she
has received by diplomatic agreement
from Prance.
The move was watched with great
est interest by foreign chancellories
In Europe, for the territory had often
been described as a. possible point of
contention in colonial affairs.
In Prance, tha transfer of the ter
ritory to Italy was considered a com
promise on the promises which Prance
made Italy In 1915 in return for
Italy's quitting the alliance with Ger
many and AiiRtro-Hungary and en
tering the World war on the side of
France.
In Italy, it was said that the ac
quisition of former French territory
was only part of the prize achieved
and that another point of import
ance was a promise from France to
follow out the Italian Idea of a par
tial rearmament for Germany, pro
vided Germany re-enters the League
of Nations.
Suggestions were heard that by the
acquisition of land at the southern
approach of the Suez canal. Italy had
placed herself In a position in which
she could do some bargaining with
Great Britain on the subject of ter
ritorial possessions, but this point of
view was described as Incorrect In
Rome, Paris and London.
It was pointed out that Great
Britain still kept strategic control of
the entrance to the Red sea, south
of Suez, by holding her island ol
Perim and by the fact that BrltlAh
Somallland Is close by.

The most common cause of poor vision is
eyestrain. And eyestrain is sure to occur
wherever there is poor lighting. A famous
health magazine says: "If sufficient illumi
nation is not provided, the eyes are continu
ally subject to a strain in their attempt to
discern detail. This rapidly fatigues . . .
lowers bodily efficiency, and may produce
permanent injury."
It is a tragic mistake to attempt to save
on
lights to the detriment of your eyes.
Give your eyes the proper protection, and
they will last throughout your lifetime. One
of the essential elements of eye protection
is GOOD lighting.
Recently lighting engineer? have per
fected entirely new principals in home light
ing. Why not have an expert measure your
present lighting and advise you concerning
it? This service is free.
