be put to great inconvience in order to

hive to’secure six freeholders, men who
own land, to sign an affidavit and ack-
mw'e’ged by a notary public certifying
that he has been a resident of thy state
for six months and that he is an Am* rican
citizen and has all the qualifications of
a voter. This involves much tncon-
vience and sometimes it is a difficult mat
ter to readily secure six free holders.
Voters can save all this trouble by regis
tering with the county clerk or with a
notarv public, but this must be done be
fore 5 p. m. of May 16 for on that date
the register books are closed.
An application was made Tuesday at
at the county clerk’s office by the road
sup« rvisior of one <*f the principal districts
of Jackson county for cloth danger posters
such as the county keeps for posting
oncondemei bridges. But shocking as
it mav seem to advocates of good roads
that supervisior wanted these posters to
place along a section of road in his dis
trict to w im travelers that it was danger
ous to pass over by reason of one continu
ous, frightful mudhole that rendered dam
age to vehicles and teams very liable.
This impossible piece of roadway is not
the fault of the iupervisior for he is one
of the most capable in Jackson county,
but comes from the fact that the county
road tax is so low that the apportionment
given to his district does not even meet
the expense of the very bad mudholes
so travelers can get across them without
endangering their lives and their teams
and vehicles. When it comes that dan
ger notices must be posted along the
highways of Jackson county warning
travelers to beware lest they lose their
teams and vehicles and mayhop their lives
in the frightful mudholes that are to be
found in the roads, it behooves that an
era of road building and not road repair
ing be inaugurated.
A convention of the IXgrec- of Honor
will be held at Central Point on May 18
and 19 to embrace the lodg« s of Southern
Oregon. The convention will couibk nee
at 10 a.tn. of Wednesday and lodge busi
ness will be transacts! during th«- «lay
In the evening a literary and musical
Crogram will be rendered to lx follow, d

taken up the following day. Mrs Addie
B. Colvig, Grand Chief of Honor, who
will have charge of the convention, antic
ipates a large attendance of mem lien from
the lodges of Southern Oregon.
Street Commissioner Henrv Wendt
having exhausted the road fund at bis
command which amounts to ¿253.85 he
has closed his roa<i work fur thin year
other than some minor r< pair work which
he will do this fall. Besides the streets
of the town Commissioner Wendt has six
miles of road adjoining Jacksonville to
look after and with less then JL’KIO worth
labor to apply and nearly 10 miles of
roadsand streets, he was able to make but
little betterment to the roads. What
work Mr. Wendt has done has lieen tho
rough and of a permanent character, drain
age being one of the features that he has
given special attention. Mr. Wendt now
has the Griffin Creek, Sterling, Apple
gate, up|>er Jackson Creek and Willow
Springs roads in as good condition as a
dirt road can be made. No work has t>een
done on the Lpwer Jackson Creek road as
that road is to be turnpiked and graveled
at the time the creek channel is to be
opened. It isexpecied that work will be
gin on this road early in Jane as the new
survey ordered by the county court at
their session this week will be acted on at
the June term. Mr. Wendt has been so
efficient as a road worker that he will be
quite certain to be reelected next year,
when he will be given an opportunity to
build more permanet roads for it is the
plan to make the road levy large next
year and begin to macadamize the roads
and stop this endless repair work that has
been carried on here for the past 40 years
with the mudholes as numerous and as
deep as they were in pioneer days.
Do you wish to attend the world’s Fair
in June? Mrs. P. Ritner of Medford is
making up a party to go at that time.
She has recently been advised by friends
in St. Louis not to visit the Fair until
that time as nothing will lx- in complete
readiness be fore a bout the middle of June.
Her recent residence in St. Louis and
familiarity with the World's Fair grounds
make her eminently fitted to conduct
such a party. She can doubtless save both
time and money to every one under her
care. Any one contemplating the trip,
whether for a short stay or for the full
limit of the three months ticket, will do
well to communicate with her at once.
