bottle neck In the Paclflo highway
between Roaeburg and Oranta Pass la
much more serious."
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.
Cost of a truck and driver on av
erage highways waa estimated at
13.60 per hour and of private auto
mobile and driver at 91 per hour. Dis
tance cost waa figured at 3.8 per mile
on private automobiles and 13 cento
per mile on trucks. Chlnnock said
actual cost for the Ornnts Pnss-Roseburg
section are "neceiutarlly higher"
than the state figures "because of
the grndea and sharp turns."
Total saving by reconstruction o'
the highway based on past traffic
and not the expected increase was
figured at 79S.Bfl7.ss annually.

C. P. 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.
