ASHLAND IL MEDFORD 6 IN CRIDRON BATTLE
High School Teams Met MedOrd Ground Saturday and Played
One of the Fastest First Games Ever Fought in Valley

being cheered by the Ashland ,rooters
as he went. Beveridge, the midget
quarterback of the Metropolitans,
made a magnificent 90-yard run for
touchdown, giving his team its
only six points. The half closed with
the ball in the center of the field.
Early in the third quarter Med
ford crowded the ball almost to Ash
lands goal line, but, unable to over
come the latter's stubborn resist
ance, tried a place kick which was
blocked by the Ashlandites. Then in
a series of brilliant forward passes,
end runs and smashing line bucks,
Ashland forced the ball down to
within less than yard of Medford's
goal line, where the boys in black
and red stood pat. Here Ashland
forced them back for a safety which
was not allowed Soon afterward
Medford made another fluke touch
down, which did not count, because
Brick Moody, with rare good judg-
ment, refrained from touching the
ball Ashland was not to be denied,
however, and came up the field with
bewildering long forward passes and
sent the overworked Ashcraft crash
ing through the line for touch
down. This ended the scoring, the
play for the rest Of the game being
almost even. Neither team punted
much, Medford, perhaps, having a
little the best of the argument. Un-
der the new rules it is clearly more
profitable to rush the ball by the line
bucks and forward passes than to lei
the opposing team get 1t through
punting. The new rule allowing foui

Are BOLD
TWO RESIDENCES ENTERED
THURSDAY NIGHT.
THERE WERE NO CLEWS LEFT
Residence of Miss Emma Stephenson
Robbed of JeweIry, Etc, Worth
$1OO-Lemery Home Entered But
Little of Value Secured.

Burglars were, especially bold in
Ashland Thursday evening. The res
idence of Miss Emma Stephenson, at
249 B street, was entered while she
next door Miss Stephenson left
home about o'clock, locking up the
house. When she returned about 8
o'clock she found the front door
slightly ajar and at once proceeded
to make an examination of the prem
ises. She found that her watch, val
ued at about $50, and four rings
were missing, one ring being moon
stone, one garnet, one set with two
emeralds and two rose diamonds and
the fourth signet ring. The bur-
glars also took a purse in which Miss
Stephenson was storing up a large
number of pennies that had accumu-
lated from the household purchases.
On going to the rear of the house
Miss Stephenson found the back door
open and also the door of the fruit
cupboard on the back porch. There
were six cans of fruit missing from
this cupboard. Miss Stephenson es-
Inmates the entire value of the stuff
taken at not less than 800. She
stated to a representative of the lid:
ings that there were two tramps who
visited the place, one Wednesday and
the other Thursday. The first she
fed, but the second she turned away
because she had no meat cooked
She hardly knows whether to con
meet the burglary with them a!

SAVED FOR IRRIGATION
Water From Ashland Creek to Be
Stored in Big Reservoir Dur
ing Summer.

Messrs. Coachman and Hunter,
who own fruit orchard in the noun
tains back of the normal, are put
ting in quite an extensive irrigation
system. They have run a ditch from
near the headwaters of Ashland
creek to a point above the mill OF
the Lamb mine From a penstock
high up on the mountain they have
run a large pipe down to the gulch
and intend to use it this winter
when water is plenty, to sluice out
dirt to make a dam across the gulch
forming a reservoir. This revervoiI
will hold ten million gallons, and by
utilizing the surplus water of the
creek in the winter and spring they
expect to store enough to water {;
good sized tract during the dry sea
son. Mr.. Coachman, who is interest
ed in this project, is also interested
in the Lamb mine, mention of whicl
was made in recent issue.
1t is such projects as this whicl

IL to score tells the tale of the
cleaning" which Ashland high
school accomplished at Medford Sat
urday afternoon. 1t was a battle
royal from start to finish, Medford
having the heavier and steadier line,
while Ashland's backfield was clear
ly the better. Phillips skill and
GOODNESS in throwing forward passes,
the terrific line playing of Ashcraft
and Brick Moody's plucky playing
and good headwork won for Ashland.
At times the Medford backs pune
tured the Ashland line with heart
breaking regularity, making huge
gain; Ashland, however, held well
at critical moments, playing better
ball as the game progressed. A
large crowd of rooters was present
from Ashland, almost as many as
from Medford high. The cheering
was loud and frantic, but good-na-
tured throughout.
Medford gave the mountain
climbers hard chill, when in the
first half-minute of play, one of her
players secured the ball on a return
punt of Ashland's kickoff and rushed
across the goal line with it. Ashland
temperature arose several degrees
when the touchdown was disallowed
for off-side playing. Ashland was
given the ball on her own 30-yard
line, whence it seesawed back and
forth across the field until Ashland
pushed it over for touchdown.
Phillips missed goal, making the
score 6 to 0. The first quarter
closed with Medford in possession OF
the ball on her own S0-yard line
In the second quarter Half-back Hill
of Medford was carried off the field

STILL LYING
ABOUT ASHLAND
MAIL-TRIBUNE CONTINUES DE-
sPICABLE TACTICS.
MEDFORD WAS NOT DENOUNCED
Speakers at Friday Evening Meeting
Did Not DenOunce MedfOrd, I'M
less George Putnam and Medford
Are Synonymous Terms.

True to the instincts and tradi-
tions of the Mail-Tribune, George
Putman's man Friday, who attended
the Dunn meeting Friday evening,
misrepresented everything which was
said and done there.
Especially was he mendacious
when he stated that speakers de-
nounced Medford He knew he was
voluntarily placing himself in full
membership in the Ananias Club
when he said that anyone present de-
nounced Medford Every speaker
was careful to distinguish between
the city of Medford and the gang
which has wrecked the county treas
ury and imposed such burdens upon
the taxpayers of Jackson county that
Medford property owners were COM
PEELED to take the lead in organiz-
ing a taxpayers league.
The people of Ashland as we'll as
the people of Medford have suffered
from the looting of the treasury by
that gang, but they do not blame
their fellow victims in Medford Nor
was anything said in the meeting
Friday night that any honest minded
man could so construe.
Everyone in Jackson county knows
that George Putnam would like to
boss both Medford and the county,
but they were of the impression that
there were a few people in Medford
besides George Putnam, Roadmaster
Harmon, DR.. Keene, Dr. Reddy, Dr.
Ray, Mayor Canon, Porter Neff, Ed
Andrews and their candidate, Tou
Velle. If these men constitute Med
ford and all of Medford, then Med
ford was denounced Friday evening
and rightfully denounced. But do
they?
Putnam knows unless he can turn
the eyes and minds OF the people OF
Medford and the county IRON the is
7 forget the depredations OF the gang,
r there is no chance for his man Tou
: Velle. Hence he is trying to make
] the citizens of MedfOrd and else
!. where throughout the county believe
= that the entire city of Medford is
1 being made the scapegoat of the mis-
e deeds of the gang.
e 1t is a well-known fact that the
: gang has used the bludgeon in every
e possible way to whip the business
: men of Medford into supporting
j, them, and now are trying to make
: the people of Medford believe thai
4 they are being falsely accused of the
r looting of the treasury from which
f they in common with the rest of the
a county have suffered

HOBO RoosT GONE.
Shack Located on East Main Street
Burned.

Ashland has one less hobo resort
since Thursday evening. A shack
on East Main street formerly occu-
pied by a man named Duffy, but
which has been vacant for some time
except when occupied by tramps as a
camping shanty, was burned about
1890 Thursday evening. Neighbors
discovered the fire, but as it was too
late to save the building and the
wind was in such a direction that no
other property was endangered they
very properly refrained from turning
in an alarm, thus saving the trouble
and expense Of getting out the fire
company.

DUNN CLUB ORGANIZED;
W. c. LEEVER is ENDORSED
ENTHUSIASTIC MASS MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT ORGANIZES TO
ADVANCE THEIR CANDIDACY IN The INTERESTS OF
GOOD GOVERNMENT

Benton Bowers spoke briefly,
stating that there should be no ques-
tion of feeling between the two
towns, that it was simply a matter of
getting results. He read from the
report of the dedication of bridge
over the North Umpqua, near Rose
burg, where a three-span bridge ag-
gregating $50 feet in length cost
about $4,000, while the bridge over
the Rogue at Gold Hill, one span of
12U feet, cost about $4,000.
1t was moved and carried that it
was the sense of the meeting that the
members approved of the purposes
of the Jackson County Taxpayers
League, as set forth by NJ. Kelly, and
that as many as could should join
that organization.
On motion the chairman was in
structed to appoint a committee OF
one from each precinct in the county
to promote the candidacy of Mr.
Dunn for county judge. 1t was also
moved and carried that the chair.
man appoint an additional executive
committee of three to conduct the
campaign.
The question of the sinews of wal
|, then came up, the chairman stating
that money was necessary for thu
sending out of literature, postag,
and other necessary expenses. TIL,
; chair was instructed to select a com
mittee of three to solicit funds, ant
! some 5000 was voluntarily sub
) scribed by persons present.
: 1t moved that the Dunn Club en-
dorse the candidacy of w. c. Leeve
of Central Point for county commits
sioner, and the motion was unani
} mously carried.
I Attorney Kelly and others spok
I concerning the relationship betwee
S the various cities and towns in tn
valley, all believing that the feelin
: of friction and jealousy was nor
: apparent than real. Mr.. Briggs b'
: lieved that iniudieious articles

/ a large portion of the feeling ar
e that often these articles had bee
b published for ulterior purposes,

i before them and hide the work

5, who always support the man tn
o know least about and never the hon

not be influenced by them.

An enthusiastic gathering of the
taxpayers of Jackson county, regard
less of political affiliation, was held
in the city hall Friday evening,
which resulted in the organization
of a George Dunn Club. There were
representatives of all parties pres
ent and men from Jacksonville, Med
ford, Rogue River, Central Point and
other places throughout the county.
The meeting was called to order
by Bert R. Greer, who stated that he
thought there was just one issue in
this campaign upon which all present
could agree, and that was upon the
necessity of taking the control of the
county funds out of the hands of the
crowd which had put the county
nearly 100000 farther into debt in
the past four years, and entrusting
them to the hands of men who would
see to it that the county got one
dollar in value for every dollar ex-
pended. L. l.. Multi was nominatedd
for chairman of the meeting and was
unanimously elected. B. w. Talcott
was elected secretary.
1t was moved and carried unani-
mously That it is the sense of this
meeting that it would be for the
best interests of this county thai
George Dunn be elected to the coun
ty judgeship.

called upon and expressed his appre
citation of the confidence shown il
him by his fellow citizens in thu
gathering regardless of party to or
ganize to assist in his election, ant
promised that if elected he wouli
fulfill the duties of the office to tn
best of his ability and according t
, law. If bonds for construction O
roads were voted he would see tha

was to reduce taxation and equaliz
assessments; that it was non-polit
cal and had membership in variou
:, parts of the county, and that he ha

organization along the same line
