When you go into the voting
booth on November 5th to cast
your ballot, be sure you draw
your pen through the name of
James B. Pearce for secretary of
state and write in the name of
JOHN E. RAMER.
James B. Pearce has proven
himself to be the most odious
and repellant fraud that ever
disgraced the state capitol as an
ofice-holder. Every honest voter
should keep in mind the fact that
James B. Pearce is to be rebuked
at the polls by scratching his
malignant name off the ticket
and writing in the name of John
E. Ramer, who is u man of good
standing in the community in
which he lives, and who does not
have the reputation of being a
two-faced fraud and confidence
man.

was satisfied. During part of the
afternoon they formed a rest and
slumber party, retiring to the lawn
with pillows. One of the most en-
joyable features of the afternon was
the music rendered by Mr.. Haines,
the pianist, who favored the party
with several selections of his own
composition. A German supper
brought to it's close a happy day,
which these Chicago musicians had
thoroughly enjoyed as guests of their

Rev. Isaac suggested an outing for
Saturday, so they were prevailed up
on to wait until the evening train.
A farmers wagon was secured for the
day by V. E. Brittsan, and the Schu-
manns and a few others were taken
to Kingsbury Springs, where a most
restful afternoon was spent. A sub
stantial lunch was partaken of dur
ing the afternoon, and the lemonade
called forth especially enthusiastic
praises from the visitors, one of them
declaring there was mo such lemon

over the country roads in the waning
light of the afternoon was also a de-
lightful experience to the city guests.
Prof. Lampert was unavoidably de-
tanned in town Saturday and so was
unable to join the picnickers, much

The pretty home was profusely
decorated for the affair, the table
and piano in the parlor being banked
high with pink roses and sweet peas,
and the dining room being made
beautiful with red roses and green
vines. After a bountiful siX-course
dinner, those present were treated to
some very fine music, both vocal and
instrumental, by Mr.. and Mrs. Rem
mock of Sacramento, who were on
their way to the Elks convention in
Portland, and stopped over in Ash
land for a short visit with both fam
lilies.
Mr.. Conner received some very
handsome presents from those in at
tendance, the one most highly priced
being a beautiful ruby shirt stuu
given him by his little grand-daugh-

BUILD DESERT ROAD.
Highway to BE Con-
structed Through TOrtuOus Valley.

To build for the special use of an
automobile tour a stretch of road
more than seventy miles in length,
traversing country that has here
tofore been assessible only to pack
animals, is the unique scheme of spir-
tied residents of northern Arizona.
The new road connects the railroad
of Ash Fork with the government
reservation at Grand Canyon. The
tour for which ii was constructed is
the first of its kind, including, as it
does, an aggregation of more than
sixty Studebaker cars, nearly all of
which are owned in Phoenix, the Ari-
zona metropolis. The citizens of Ash
Fork went to work with their picks
and shOvels, working out half way
where they met similarly public
spirited gang OF road builders from
Grand Canyon, who had laid out the
second half of the trail.
For more than twenty-five miles
the road follows a tortuous valley
There is no human habitation be-
tween Ash Fork and Grand Canyon,
and not a single well or stream of
water, except in the rainy season,
now several months past, Among
those who will take part in the tour
are the governor and attorney gen.
eral of the new state.

NATIONAL PARK Projected.
County Residents Petition
for Change of Plans.

Grants Pass, Ore.-Petitions are
being circulated and signed freely
asking that the 4S0 acres set aside as
a national monument, July II, 1909,
be proclaimed a national park. Sit
uated within the acreage are the fam
Gus Josephine county caves. Under
the present law no Improvements can
be made around the caves or the
grounds sublet to people who would
make them attractive for tourists.
If the national monument is turned
into national park capitalists will
rent the grounds from the govern
ment and establish modern hotels.
1t is stated on good authority that
all the electricity that would be
needed for power and electric lights
could be developed in the caves from
the running water. Should the gov
ernment grant the request the caves
will be lighted by electricity by some
lessee. Hundreds of people visit the
caves every year and are astonished
at their beauty.

CALLED TO HER REWARD.
"Aunt Sue" Helman Dies Suddenly
of Heart Failure.

Monday night as Mrs. Susan A.
Helman was returning from the
Chautauqua lecture, she parted from
her friends near the crossing of Ober-
lin and Helman streets, saying that
she was not afraid of going alone the
one block to her home. She must
have crossed the street slowly and
when on the north side of Oberlin
fell to the ground. About this time
Mrs. John Carter happened to be on
the back porch of her home nearby
and hear the cry, "Oh Jane, Jane"
She did not recognize the voice but
knew someone was in distress and
quickly called her husband. Very
shortly they were both at her side
and said, why, Aunt Sue, what is
the matter?" and she replied, 81 am
so sick" Mrs. Helman was tenderly
lifted to her feet, and by being sup
ported on either side she managed to
cross the street. Then she said, Il
can go no farther By the utmost
efforts Mr. and Mrs. Carter carried
her to the porch of their home, where
she expired within two minutes. DR..
Songer was hurriedly called and said
that it was a case of heart failure.
Her death occurred at 1915 p. m,
but few of her neighbors and friends
heard the sad news until Tuesday
morning, when neighbor spoke with
bated breath to neighbor, telling the
heartrending news.
Susan A. Culp was born in Ohio
on June ), 1916, and resided in that
state for some years, when she with
her parents removed to near Guern-
sey, Iowa Here she was married to
George w. Rockfellow, one of the
early pioneers of southern Oregon
and northern California, Mrs l,ock-
fellow coming to the Rogue river val
ley in 1871. She and Mr.. Rockfel-
low lived on a farm near the Daven-
port Diggings (Wyants), this side of
Talent, until 1884.
After selling the farm they re-
moved to this city. Mr.. Rockfellow,
who had had very poor health for
years, died March Is, 1888. Decem-
Der 16, 1894, Mrs. Rockfellow was
married to Captain A. D. Helman, one
of the first settlers of Ashland. Mr..
and Mrs. Helman lived most happily
at the beautiful Helman homestead
until the death of Captain Helman in
March, 1910.
Aunt Sue" as she known and af-
fectionately called by her host OF
friends, was a member of the Meth
odist Episcopal church and of its
various societies, including the La
dies Aid, Home and Foreign Mis-
sionary societies, the Sunday school,
the Relief Corps, the Rebekahs and
the Ladies Chautauqua Park Club.
Not only was she faithful and con-
stant in her attendance at church
and Sunday school, but she was a
cheerful worker in the various organ
izations of which she was member.
Mrs. Helman was a bright, cheer
full, earnest, forgiving Christian wom-
an, one who not only had a host OF
friends, but who had the happy fac
ulty of making nearly all with whom
she met happier and better.
Many were the hardships and
trials which came into her life, but
through them all she kept her sweet
ly Christian spirit. She certainly
made the best of life.
In addition to distant relatives,
there are still living an only daugh-
ter, Mrs Minnie Rockfellow Lane, of
this city; a brother. George Culp. of
Cortland, Neb.;, niece, Miss Culp,
of San Jose. Cal.

Mrs. Transau left Sunday for
Eagle Point, Ore, to visit her son,
E. E. Call, at that place. She will

A large crowd left Hornbrook for
Yreka Sunday to witness the bail
game between Hornbrook boys and
Ireka. The score is reported to be
10 to 4 in favor of Yreka. The re-
port is that Hornbrook players are
by far the best players. A little ac-
cident turned the tide.
Marian Hill, who has been visit
ing her grandmother Mrs. Transau,
of this place, returned to Hit Mon
day.
Lolo and Fanny Smith returned
from McCloud, where they had spent
the Fourth. They reported a fine
time.
Mr.. l.. c. Jaquette, one of our en-
terprising livery men, had a great
trip down the river to Happy Camp,
73 miles. His object was to take
Mr.. and Mrs. Shea, two missionaries,
to that place. Mrs Shea left Horn
brook with Mr.. JaQuette in a surrey,
the freight following in a large
wagon. Mr. Shea started from
Yreka on the Quigley short line to
Big Humbug and there they met Mr..
Shea, going the rest of the way with
Mr.. Jaquette. They stopped at
Whites for dinner and at Hamburg
for supper, and spent the night there.
At Z on the morning of the Fourth
VI July lhSg pulleu OuJ. lney
stopped at Thompson Creek for din
ner and found the people having a
picnic. They had the biggest pan
of fried trout that Mr.. JaQuette had
seen. Theyswere invited to eat with
the picnickers and needed no second
invitation. The only regret Mr..
Jaquette and Mr.. Shea had when the
meal was over was that they just had
to leave three trout. They arrived
in Happy Camp a little after
O'Clock. They found a great time
going on there, a ball game be-
tween the Happy Camp nine and the
Knowlton nine. AS Mr.. Jaquette re-
members the score, it was II to II
in favor of Knowlton. This may not
be just correct. The streets were
crowded. The hotel was full A
man gave up his room for Mr.. and
Mrs. Shea and Mr.. Jaquette slept in
the barn. There were squaws 50
and 80 years old in town to help cell
ebrate and to look after the younger
merrymakers. There was a dance at
night.
