W. c. T..U. RECEPTION.
Interesting Program Marks Tuesday
Afternoon Event.

The w. c. T. U. gave a reception
to a number of new members on
Tuesday afternoon in the park. This
was very pleasant affair, Mrs. Nj. C.
Ashcraft, local president, presiding.
A program preceded the reception,
and equal suffrage was embodied
throughout. 1t was opened with our
national anthem, led by Mrs. Childs,
a recent arrival in Ashland. She has
a clear, strong soprano voice that is
real acquisition for out of doors
meetings.
Rev. j. T. Little made the intro
ductory remarks, in which he voiced
in certain tones the sentiment that
1t was impossible for any broad
minded man to oppose equal suf-
frage. Thanks, Mr.. Little. Follow
ing him was one of Ashland's young
men, Mr.. Norman Ashcraft, who but
recently graduated from the Eugene
University. His was a brief but
scholarly address that reviewed the
history of the movement.

lighted every one with his Durlesque

Rev. Stephen A. Douglas followed
with pertinent remarks that were
well received. Mrs Robert Conklin
of Grants Pass, who is the president
of the Southern Oregon Equal Suf-
frage organization, was present. She
was asked to address the w. C. T. L.
She responded with an earnest and
effective speech which showed that
she was an earnest student of eco
nomic problems, and also of the
exposes.
An excellent speech was made by
a well-known citizen of Seattle, who
bid us God speed and detailed
briefly the splendid results in that
great metropolis where the women
helped to place one of the chief city
officials, who had betrayed his trust,
in the state penitentiary, and re-
called the recalcitrant mayor.
Mrs. Hathaway, Mrs. Russell and
Mrs. Grace Holmes followed with re-
marks for the good of the organiza-
ton. Thus closed an interesting and
instructive program.

RULING ON ALIENS SCORED.
Nagel's Stand on Naturalized Citi.
Zens' Children Protested.

Washington, d. C.-Several vigor-
Gus protests have been received by
Secretary Nagel, of the department
of commerce and labor, against his
recent Interpretation of the natural
ization and immigration laws to the
effect that the naturalization OF an
alien confers American citizenship
upon his minor children, whether in
the United States or abroad.
The protestants contend that the
decision lowers the bars to all the
barred classes of immigrants, as the
naturalization of father of a family
now permits him to bring into the
United States, immune from the tests
of immigration laws, his minor chill
dren, whether they are idiots, imbe-
Giles or other undesirables.
The secretary is preparing an
opinion to justify his position, both
from legal and a humanitarian
viewpoint

RIVERS COURSE CHANGED.
White Salmon Switched to Flume
While Dam is Building.

Underwood, Wash.-The White
Salmon river for distance of nearly
900 feet was turned from its course
Monday morning, when engineers of
the Northwestern Electric Company

long flume at Cameron,s, three miles
above this town.
The stream VIII be run through
this flume. leaving the bed of the
river dry, during the construction of
the 10000 horsepower dam for the
Northwestern Electric Company at
Cameron's. The flume is carried un-
derground through solid rock four
times in its length by means of four
tunnels ranging from 20 to $50 feet
long.
1t is the heavy nature of the work
on these tunnels that has delayed
until the present construction of the
concrete dam 400 feet long and 1875
feet high. that will hold the White
Salmon in check here. Five hun
dred men are working in day and
