Bonds could be paid, the Josephine county Senator aald, probably from future gaa tax revenue and the plan wou'd eliminate the necessity of wait ing years for piece meal work If small amounts are made available year by year from the state highway com mission. The plan Chlnnock outlined haa five salient featurea: I Floating state bond Issue of t7.OOO.00O. a Improve ment of Roseburg-Oranta pass sec tion of Pacific highway to attract north-bound traffic. 3 Elimination of present bottleneck which results in travel loss estimated by state high ; way trafflo ohecks at 40 per cent to districts north of Orant Pass. 4 i Amortisation of Issue In 30 years! through savings made to motorists. 6 Shortening o route more than 10 miles and more than one hour driv ing time between Oranta Pasa and Roseburg. Would Employ Hundreds "Inauguration of the ' Improve ment program, aa already outlined by the highway commission on the Roseburg-Oranta pass section, would re sult In employment of hundreds of men, saving of thousands of dollars to motorists, and attraction of thous ands of tourists from the south wno now fall to travel farther north than Oranta Pass because of the danger ous condition of the highway. "The,, new survey of the highway shortens the distance 10.51 miles, re duces curvature to approximately tec par cent, eliminates 033 curves and all right angle turns, and shorten driving time by one and one-third hours." Traffic is Heavy Citing figures from traffic count Indicating 833 automobiles and 130 trucks used the road during a 13 hour period and employing general figures prepnred for the state by Pub lio Utilities Commissioner McColloch on costs for operating cars, Chlnnock estimated a dally saving of 91.068 lo owners of private automobiles and no 150 dally to operators of trucks.

GRANGE CAST REGISTERS HIT IN THE BLUE TEAPOT By Maud Pool. Something of the same quaint charm and wlnaomeneea of Pa and Ma Brown themselves seemed to be infused In the stage setting and entire play, "The Blue Teapot,' pre sented by Central Point Grange at their hall last night, the second of the plaja being presented In the county dramatics contest this week. The knowledge of Jimmy Neabo. played by Robert Sparks, that his ideas of a home were not In keep ing with those of his city fiancee, Cynthia, played by Janice Hesael- grave, furnished the theme of the play, aa well as the subject ot a quarrel between the lovers. The two young people played their part In an admirable manner. But It was the quiet persistence of Ma Brown (Paye Rltzlnger) and a sweet story of her early married days and her old blue teapot, that patched the quarrel and brought the comedy to a beautiful closing, j Her mellow philosophy regarding human relationships and under standing added much to the charm of the play. Pn Brown, played by J. Sanford Richardson, who always lovingly buya things to match for Ma, ana hMi venion of the blue teapot differed somewhat from her story. contributed to the touening ele ments of the comedy, as well as the reconciliation of the young coup. The evening program waa attended by a large audience, and was fol lowed by dancing, with music by the Jacksonville grange orchestra. As the contest progresses, public Interest Is mounting, and the ex cellence of the plays thus far pro duced promises an exciting race for placing In the finals next 'week. Tonight at 8:00 p.m. Rogue River Community club presents "The Man Prom Brandon" at their school gymnasium. OUTBOARD PLANNEO IN APRIL The high whine of racing outboard motorboats will be heard on Emigrant lake In April, If plans discussed at the 20-30 club meeting last nlgnt materializes. The local club voted last night to apply to the National Outboard association for the sanc tion of an annual regatta to be spon sored by the club. Parker Bundy, Medford racing en thusiast and owner of one of the fast est boats In southern Oregon was guest speaker at the meeting, and outlined the necessary work la ar. ranging such an event. If ueoaaaful the legatte would become an annual 30-30 event, the members decided. It la believed by club members thai enough enthusiasts In thla district could be summoned to maks the meet of skittering little "water bugs" a highly successful venture. Once com mon on Emigrant lake, racing event have becoma increasingly rare aa low water robbed the spot of most of its advantages, and the 30-30 members are hopeful of re -establishing the In teresting spring sporting event. With the spring run-off of water still to come, water at the lake now stands six feet below the dam. Warrant CsiL School Diet.
