With an end to the rain and snow storms that soaked southern Oregon for several weeks, danger of more mine cave-ins In Jacksonville Is con sidered passed at least for the time being and miners threatened not long ago by a series of slides have re sumed activity in the historic town's numerous "backyard diggings." Since four of the shallow drifts caved In ten days ago, no new troub le has been reported, and although the ground Is still soaxed to a con siderable depth tlrre seems to be no indications of more land giving way. Many of the mines have been tim bered and all properties which caved In, some to depths of ftve or six feet In small areas, have been filled in. Most of the workmen, however have gone back to their diggings with lit tle apprehension of more trouble. Barriers around the spot which sunk In the main street were remov ed as no further sinking became evi dent, it is expected that Jacksonville officials will take steps at the city council meeting tonight for tho pre vention of further tunneling under the streets, which has resulted in scores of drifts honeycombing tho "pay gravel" beneath the city. 1 934 TAX ON GAS SALEM, Feb. 6.

One edge is u hitf, the other red. It would he easy to follow through the sky, wouldn't it ? That, in effect, is your United plane pilot's "roadway." Only it is a "sound'' hand a radio beam instead of a light beam. Your pilots "hear" their road. Not only that if they drift to either "highway" edge the signal changes, says into their ears: "You're to the left" or "to the nc'i". They just now let me listen in. I'nited pilots can tell where any particular beam is leading them because every few seconds it announces its special "call letters" like seeing a highway sign every quarter mile!
