J DREAM KITCHEN-A "dream kitchen on wheels" will be on display at Johnston stores, 112 South Riverside ave., Medford, Tuesday, May 26, Robert Johnston, Hotpoint dealer here has announced. The kitchen is installed in a giant truck trailer to show Proposed Arterial! Street Projects Stated This Year Proposed arterial street, sanitary sewer and storm sew er projects for Medford dur ing the 1959-60 fiscal year were outlined for the city budget committee Friday night by City Manager Gor don A. Duff. Duff, explained that each project would be subject to approval by the city council. He noted that they would be financed by continuing prop erty tax levies previously ap proved by residents. Addi tional capital for the arterial street program could be de rived from sale of bonds as well. Three bridges across Bear creek, and a sanitary sewer age currently flowing into the creek at Main St., are among major items proposed. Project Approved . The Eighth st. bridge is one project already approved by the council. Bids on the bridge are to be-,opened Tuesday at Salem by the state highway department. The project also includes sections of paved Com Emerald Gram BAF Qeantr $299 BAF Oaancr I Brush 479 I J ITiS EASY WITH PLENTY OF FREE PARKING QUALITY AT LOWEST PRICES!

A second bridge would be included in the extension of 10th st. east from South Riv erside ave. across the creek to Willamette ave. Its con struction his year is urged in a 204 - signature petition presented to the city council Thursday night. Duff added that Siskiyou blvd., an east-west artery to which 10th st. will ultimately be linked, is to be extended by the city along the south line of the IOOF cemetery this year with state tax street funds. : Third Bridge The third bridge proposed would be in connection with extending Fourth st. east from North Riverside ave. across the creek to meet East Jack son st. near Biddle rd. These extensions across Bear creek, city officials ex plain, are expected to, relieve traffic congestion along Riv erside ave. and across the present bridges at Main and Jackson sts. A proposed step for 1959 60 that would lead later to another north - south link across the creek is the estab lishment of a "minimum road" to extend Willamette ave. south from the Earhart Park subdivision to Barnett rd. No immediate bridge construc tion would be involved, but city officials believe the es tablishment of this roadway would prevent the state high way department from pos sibly blocking the route -in constructing the Highway 99 freeway along Bear creek. Supplant Tank The sewer at the Main st. bridge would supplant a sep 10,000 Descriptive Folders Stock H99 Siskiyou Stockade of literature on southern Ore gon and other parts of the More than 10,000 descrip tive folders are at the wel come and visitors information booth on the Siskiyous, Don McNeil, manager of the Jack son County Chamber of Commerce, has announced. Mental Health Fund Drive Set Monday The success of the Medford Mental Health campaign will largely depend on the door-to-door Bell Ringers March Mon: day night, May 25, according to Lawrence G. Shaw, Port land State campaign chair man. A successful Mental Health campaign will assure ade quate financing for the re search, education and service program of the Mental Health Association of Oregon,, he said. "We must not forget that mental illness is the number one health problem. When we know that four out of nine hospital beds in Oregon are occupied by the mentally ill, it illustrates the need for ex panding mental health facili ties, services and a research program that will strike at the roots of mental illness," Shaw said. Mrs. Rita B. Shogren," 1705 South Columbus ave., is in charge of the door-to-door Bell Ringers March in Med ford. She said she expects ap proximately 250 women to participate in the march from 6 to 8 pjn. A few areas are still without volunteers and anyone interested in partici pating will call her at SPring 3-2335. . , , tic tank that currently, ac cording to Duff, empties mto the creek. "It's a bad situation and should be corrected," Duff commented. He explain ed that the septic tank serves the Walker building and oth er properties along Main st. to the west. Duff said an expenditure of $5,000 from city sewer funds is contemplated for the project. He said it has been city policy to participate fi nancially in projects involv ing pumping facilities, which would be required here. "I think a portion of it should be assessed to the property owner," Duff stated. The city is also to partici pate to a limited extent, as previously agreed in the Ber- rydale and North tiaurelhurst sewer systems. Arterial Street ' Another major arterial street project proposed is the extension of Melrose ave. east from Holly st. across the Southern Pacific railroad tracks to meet Barnett rd. at South Riverside ave. The city has applied to . the public utilities commission for a pub lic hearing on the grade cross: ing. This extension would pro' vide an east -west arterial street from Oakdale ave. east to the city limits. It would also provide access for trucks traveling between the Barnett rd. freeway interchange and commercial and industrial es tablishments on South Fir and Grape sts. Other Improvements Other street improvements include continued work on the Stewart ave. crossing over Crooked creek, paving and widening of East Jackson st, from Biddle rd. to Genessee More than 50 serarate kinds state are available for tour ists during Oregon's Centen nial year at the Stockade, which opened last Monday. McNeil said other literature is now being printed, and will be added to the basic sup ply now in the welcome booth. One folder now being printed is an informational booklet being published by the Jackson County Centen nial association. , . Stal Literature , State literature it the stockade includes information on highways, state parks, Centennial events, fishing and climates.. Literature on five southern Oregon coun ties giving data about their areas also is available, the chamber managed noted. The counties include Douglas, Kla math, Jackson, Josephine and Lake. Jackson county material being distributed includes points of interest, historical folders, statistical informa tion, the Shakespearean Fes tival brochure, Southern Ore gon resort and commercial enterprise pamphlets. Area literature available on other parts of the state is comprised of folders on the Oregon coast, central Oregon, northeast Oregon, Eugene, Salem and Portland. Personnel manning the stockade received a training course conducted by McNeil to familiarize them with the contents of the laterature av ailable and to teach a tech nique of determining the visi tor interest as well as travel plans in Oregon. In this way, the type of information most helpful to the tourist can be presented, avoiding indiscreet literature . waste. YREKA .

Murray, foreman of the jury that was dismissed May 9, as hopeless ly deadlocked in the case that the jurors had been 8 to 4 for conviction of the Yreka youth on the final ballot. Barr said that contradicted what Murray had told him in confidence after the trial. Murray broke a jury pledge not to discuss the vote be cause, he said, newspapers had misreported the jury's position. Barr said his investigators also talked to two other jur ors who agreed a majority of the jury was for acquittal of Cameron oh the charge of the mutilation slaying . of : Mrs. Malone. Cameron's uncle, John Ley, meanwhile, was quoted by the Chico Enterprise Record as saying the trial and prepa rations had cost about $40, 000 and the family was wor ried about where to get the funds to continue the defense. "I don't know where we can get the money but we'll get it somehow," he was quoted as saying.
