BREAKING RECORD
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT SCAT
TERS MAGNETO OVER SCENERY
AND DECIDE8 NOT TO MAKE
FIR8T TRIP OVER OLD ROAD
While Fred Peterson, county super
intendent of schools, was returning
I from Eugene after putting Mrs. Peter-
bou on tne train mere ror isewpon ror
a tncation, he thought he would take
tlio.cld military road south of Eugent,
following a branch of the Wlllametto
River eastward to Crescent, to look up
some school matters.
Fred hnd board of ono machine that
had mode tho trip down this road, but
never could learn of one ever going up
over the road. It has some dangerous
and heart-breaking hills. So desiring
to run over to Crescent, he decided to
try it and Incidentally be the first
man ever to go over the road.
Ilvcrythlng waa all right until, as be
wia spinning along at a lively clip,
fait approaching the dreaded climbs,
he buddenly landed on a rock, high
and dry. He states that It did not ap
pear to be so high, 6bt Just before the
machine got to It the front wheels
dropped Into a chuck hole, and on the
rebonnd the rock came up through the
hot tee: and scattered his magneto over
the surrounding country.
He spent two days fixing things, and
nti.vtod out again, more anxious than
ever to make that trip. The next ob
stacle he encountered waa a log In the
road that nothing but a German Zep
pcllti could have surmounted. He se
cured a crosscut saw and sawed bis
way through. He waa on his way
agfctn, but when the hilly district was
reached he found that due to the In
fernal Intricacies of magnetoea and the
necessity of having to adjust them to
the thirty-second of an Inch, and with
nothing but a monkey wrench a,nd s
htuumer to do It with, he waa unable
in pull the hills.
Fe returned to Bugene, and came
back by the PaclIC highway, stating
that say store aeh trips sad he would

300,000 Greeks hare been compelled to
leave their homes and flee to the In

Vonua Valley crops will be better

lief expressed by R. C. Cowley, a Hllde-

up now, and are starting on their grain.
''Water Is the great need of that
country," stated Mr. Cowley, "and

extent This year has been a hard
one. due to lack of sufficient moisture
in the dry land farming, but the crops
aro turning out better than expected."
Mr. Cowley came here a number of
jears ago for his health, and though
ho returned east once, he found It
necessary to come back here, where he
has been roughing it, more or less, and
with but a small business to attend to,
has been able to regain hta health.
