GROW PEANUTS IN VALLEY.
Gold Hill Man Demonstrates Possi-
bilities in That Line.

An experiment in peanut growing
attempted the present season by
Charles Erlwein, of Gold Hill has
resulted so successfully that he will
plant an extensive patch next year
to demonstrate yet another possibil-
itv of the Rogue River valley. Mr.
Erlwein cultivated a single row of
the COOLERS this season and the
plants have done remarkably well,
bearing heavily and producing pea
nuts of large size and excellent quail
ity. The peanut is a legume, the
foliage closely resembling clover or
alfalfa, and bearing a small orange
colored bloom. Each blossom. as it
natures and falls, sends earthward
a single sprout which enters the soil
and forms bulb that in due course
of time becomes a peanut-holiday
food for elephants or folks. Mr.. Erl-
vein and his neighbor, George Hol-
comb, who has also grown a small
patch, believe that they have proven
the adaptability of the crop to this
locality, and propose to at least sup
ply Gold Hill with its holiday quota
of fresh roasted" next season.

WANT CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.
Petition for Change in Time of Motor
Being Circulated.

For a slight change in running
time of the motor service, petitions
are being circulated asking the
Southern Pacific to have the morning
car arrive a trifle earlier, in order
that there may be a longer interval
between arrival and departure, an
item which means considerable to
those who wish to make hurried trips
to this city from the surrounding ter
ritory accessible by the motor SER
vice. The petition is as follows, and
is being numerously signed:
ITO the Southern Pacific Com
pany: We, the undersigned, resi-
dents of and near Ashland, respect
fully ask that the time of arrival at
Ashland of the motor car between
Grants Pass and this city be changed
from $40 a. m. to 9:20 a. m, in
order that the interval between ar
rival and departure may be extended
to at least half an hour instead of
the brief stop of ten minutes as at
present, thus accommodating many
patrons. Other schedules of the mo-
tor service to remain as heretofore. ="

ty Jail and state prison. Sixteen in
dictments were returned by the

MOOSE TICKET
IS NAMED
PROGRESS PARTY NAMES STATE
CANDIDATES.
CLARK FOR U. S. SENATOR
Party in Assembly at Salem Made
Nomination of Full State Ticket to
BE Voted for in Oregon at the
Coming Election.

Salem, Sept 1.-THE progressive
party of Oregon today made nomi-
nations for presidential electors,
United States senator and congress-
men, and adopted a resolution to
place a complete ticket in the field
and adopted platform.
A. r. Clark, young Portland law
yer, was given the nomination for
United States senator, defeating for
mer Senator Mulkey, who was an
avowed candidate, and Senator
Bourne, who was not a candidate.
The feature of the senatorial nomina-
tion was a bitter attack on Bourne
by old political enemies who ques-
toned his progressiveness. At the
time he was nominated Clark was
presiding over the convention.
The convention passed a resolu-
tion that no one be nominated who
did not declare his allegiance to the
progressive party. This was forced
over the objections of those who
wished no other ticket than one for
the presidential electors and who be-
lived that the regular republican
nominee should not generally be EN-
barrassed. A majority of the dele
gates supported the contention of
several speakers, who declared that
to permit republican nominees to be
unopposed by progressive candidates
was equivalent to fusion with the re-
publicans and voted for the allegi-
ance resolution.
| The regular republican candidates
! for congressman in the second and
third districts were considered pro-
gressive, and no nominations were
therefore made against them.
Presidential electors-D. j. Kella-
her of Portland w. X. Newell OF
CASTOR, A. X. Ware of Medford, Levi
w. Myers of Portland and l.. II. Nc
Mahon of Salem.
United States senator-A. e. Clark
of Portland. The vote on senator
stood: Clark 81, Bourne 80, Null
key 80.
Congressmen-Fi district, John
w. Campbell of Douglas county; sec
ond district, none; third district,
none.
Secretary of state-B. E. Kennedy.
Supreme judge-Geo. W. Joseph
of Portland.
Railroad Commissioner-Ro Robert
Service of Baker county.
, John Nickle, republican candidate
J for state dairy and food commission
er, received the progressive nomina,
ton.
} The platform adopted was the
"confession of faith" in its entirety
, and was not read before adoption.

Big Bunch of Sailors Passed Through
City Monday.

Over 200 sailor lads passed through
Ashland Monday afternoon in a spec
ial train en- route from the naval
training station at Goat Island to the
navy yard at Bremerton, Wash,
where they go to join what is known
as the reserve fleet of cruisers. These
cruisers have been held in reserve

tachment there were 81 who were
coal passers, their line of promotion

the property owners on the street, it
was allowed
The matter of appropriating
$4,000 additional toward the cost of
the proposed state armory was taken
up, a petition signed by about 400
voters of the city being presented.
L. L. Multi presented the petit
tion TO the council, speaking briefly
of the situation and stating that if
the additional amount were not ap-
propriated, the state being willing
also to appropriate $4,000 out of the
additional $4,000 needed to erect the
building according to the plans of
the state architect, that it would be
necessary to cut out the stage and
other features which would vitality
impair the value of the building to
the people of Ashland. He stated
that the party who took out the first
copy OF the petition, in visiting 100
business men, numbering many of
the heaviest taxpayers of the city,
met with only one refusal, and that
the other canvassers found an equal
! ly unanimous response. Mr.. Multi
also presented to the council a tele-
gram just received from Adjutant
General FINER, in reply to one sent
/ by Mr. Multi to the state architect.
1t had been rumored upon the street
that the work on the armory would
not be commenced this year, even if
the city made the appropriation. The
telegram stated that the contract
would be let as soon as the council
acted. and construction commenced
at once
Upon a motion to appropriate the
above amount, Councilman Cunning
ham stated that he did not feel like
throwing cold water on the scheme
but that the question came up in
such a way that he could not ignore
it. That local contractor, who
was the lowest bidder, had told him
that he did not expect, when he sub
mitted the bid, to get the contract
thus giving Mr.. Cunningham to un.
derstand that he expected there
would be lower bids.
Councilman Butler stated that the
three lowest bids were within a range
of only $500, and that the high biz
was $4,000 AS to the legality o.
the action of the city council, he hat
taken the matter up carefully anC
was Informed that it was strictly lie

waterworks, showing the cost of the
destruction, of the bodies of 19 cat
to have been $S3.13, was read and

hammer. This matter grew out ot
the death of the cattle from eating
poison larkspur where their bodies
would cause the pollution of the wa.
ters of Ashland creek, the city's
source of water supply.
A request was made by the super
intendent of construction of the elec

MRS. LOUNSBERRY BACK.
Effects of Recent Trial Tell On the
Mate of Train RObber.

Speculations as to the continued
absence of Mrs. Wells Lounsberry
ceased Monday when she returned to
her home at Central Point. The wife
of the Rogue River valley train rob-
ber had been over week on the way
here from Topeka, and neighbors
had driven to town to meet every
train for several days, thinking each
day that she was to arrive. The de-
lay is explained by the fact that she
stopped over in Montana to visit rel
atives.
Mrs. Lounsberry plainly showed
the effects of her recent trials and
has not been bothered by newspaper
interviews Her two children are ig-
norant of the crimes laid at the door
of the father and believe that he is
merely i'll and will soon return. AS
to future plans, Mrs. Lounsberry is
not decided, but she has told neigh
bors that she will remain at the farm
for some time. Neighbors have been
caring for the chickens and stock.

Bailey hill is bad place for acci-
dents. There is a railroad crossing
at its foot and ii is impossible to. see
the crossing until almost on it. A

engine at nearly the same place. 1t
is supposed O'Neil's team became
frightened by train coming quickly

number. Miss Grace Rossaen is a
dramatic reader of unusual range of
talent, rendering comic, dialect and
tragic selections with equally good
effect. Miss Hazel Folsom, the lyric
soprano, fully demonstrated her abil-
ity to render classic and operate mu-
sic in an artistic manner, yet had the
good judgment to intersperse them
with the old-time ballads and child
songs which won the hearts of her
hearers. Miss Anna MacLafferty
proved a most excellent accompanist
as well as pianist OF merit in solo
work.
