GRAND RALLY PICNIC MAN FAINTS IN WAGON
Harry ROchO Narrowly Escapes
Death When Sickness Overcomes
Him-Head Badly Bruised.

Harry Rocho, son of ]. F. Rocho,
residing on Granite street, had a mar
row escape from death yesterday and
is today confined to his home with
number of severe cuts about the
head. While the injuries are not
serious, they are quite painful and
will keep Mr.. Rocho from work for
some time.
The accident happened on East
Main street in the vicinity of the Erb
place. Harry was driving his faith
er's team of mules from town when
he became suddenly sick and must
have tainted. He fell over the side
of the wagon, his head hanging be-
tween the front wheel and the wagon
box, in which position he was found.
How long he hung in that position
is unknown, but the cuts and bruises
about his head caused by the strik-
ing of the wheel would seem to indi
cate that he had been unconscious
fon some time.
Charles E. Abbott was coming to
Ashland from his ranch east of the
Lefty. When near the Erb place he
noticed a team of mules coming to-
ward him, apparently without driv-
er, and upon coming even with it
saw the body hanging in the position
indicated. Blood was spattered over
the wheel and axle and the head of
the man was found to be bruised and
cut in several places. Upon eXamina-
ton, however, he found that the man
was breathing, and after placing the
body in a comfortable position, with
the assistance of Mr.. G. w. Kennard
carried him to the house of the lat
! ter, where the unfortunate victim
was made comfortable and a ply
sician summoned. Before the ply
sician arrived, however, Rocho had
regained consciousness. His father
also arrived on the scene at this time
and assisted the young man to his
home. Harry can give no explana-
tion of the accident except that he
became sick and tainted. He will
suffer no permanent injury as a re-
suit.

WEST OPENS CAMPAIGN
Summary Removal of District Attor-
ney Cameron is First Gun in
Portland Crusade.

Salem, Ore.-Governor West Tues
day removed District Attorney Geo.
j Cameron of Portland from office
torney Walter Fl. Evans as Came
ron's successor. The removal was
made under statute providing that
whenever a district attorney fails to
furnish the governor with complete
statement of facts in a pardon rec
ommendation case, the governor
may remove him. This case was
based on Cameron's request for a
pardon for w. j. Byron, sentenced
to one year in the Multnomah coun-
ty Jail for larceny. Asked by Gov
ernor West why the pardon was
asked, Cameron refused to reply.
Governor West says this is not the
first instance OF its kind wherein
Cameron has been derelict of duty.
District Attorney Cameron, when
informed he had been removed by
Governor West, said he did not be-
lieve West had the power to remove
him. He said he would resist Vests
attempt, but would take no action
till he was informed officially that
he had been removed
Walter II. Evans said he had not
decided definitely if he would accept
the appointment as Cameron's sue
cessor. Evans has intimated, how
ever, that he will undertake the
work, if it can be arranged legally.
Cameron said he believed the old
statute under which West removed
him was repealed by constitutional
amendment in 1911 providing that
crominal proceedings might be insti-
tuted against district attorneys ac-
cused of improper conduct. He
thought West ought to proceed un-
der the later law if he wanted to
make war on him,

STARK RESTAURANT BURNED OUT
FIRE COMPANIES CONTINUE in DEMAND BUILDING AT FOURTH and
ASTREETS GUTTED AT THREE O'CLOCK THIS MORNING.

The sound of the fire alarm in the
early hours of the morning is be-
coming so common an occurrence
that people are beginning to sleep
through it all. Sunday the wooden
buildings on the Plaza burned, yes
terday a residence on Lincoln street
was damaged, and this morning the
Stark restaurant and rooming house
suffered from the flames. The alarm
was turned in at o'clock and the
fire companies succeeded in saving
the building, so that the loss is vari-
ously estimated at from $500 to
$1,000
A peculiar feature of the circum-
stance is the fact that the fire start
ed in three different places in the
building. That it was saved at all
is matter of wonder. A pile of old
sacks had been thrown into a cubby-
hole under the stairway at the rear
of the dining room, where also re-
posed an old mattress. This corner
was completely burned out. In the
storeroom a large hole is burned
through the floor behind a counter
on one side of the room and on the
other a similar hole behind another
counter. This circumstance has led
to persistent rumors of incendiarism.

OREGON SECOND.
This State Next to Maine in Number
OF Autos Purchased.

Some interesting statistics on the
automobile situation have been re-
ceived by Sam Kozer of the secre-
tary of states department The fig
ures are taken from the publication,
Automobile, which is a standard per-
iodical in its field. 1t shows that
this state is going in for the joy wag-
ons at a rapid rate.
Oregon with AZ per cent ranks
second to Maine of all the states in
ratio of new autos from January
to July l. In the per capita distri-
button this states is classed with
such as Ohio, Massachusetts and
Michigan and now has a machine for
every SO persons. In absolute num-
ber Oregon ranks twenty-fifth. The
figures show that there are S59,S59
cars in the whole country, and that
in the 45 states that require state
registration, $4,769,S73 is raised
through fees.
Another interesting comparison is
in the selling price of the average
American car, which is (July II at
I,0S3.10, where it has declined in
the last five years from about
$4,000.

E.A.ESTESBUYS CORNER
Ruins of Opera House to Give Place
to Fine Modern Business
Structure.

The transfer of the opera house
corner, which was destroyed by fire
two weeks AGO, from C. w. Stephen
son to e. A. Estes for consideration
of $13,5O0 was concluded yesterday
and Mr.. Estes is today engaged in
tearing down the chimneys and other
menacing parts of the old structure,
preparatory to the erection on the lot
of a modern two-story structure for
stores and offices.
Mr.. Estes states that he will prob
ABLY begin at once the erection of a
modern store and office building.
He has already been approached by
merchants who wish to lease the
building for a term of years at lib
eral rental and is assured of a splen-
did return from his investment His
present plan is for double store
room on the ground floor and offices
on the upper. A room at the rear,
facing on First avenue, is also In
contemplation.
The corner is one of the best in
the city. Mr.. Stephenson bought 1t
several years ago for $4,000. He
received $4,000 insurance, which, in
addition to the price received from
Mr.. Estes, will bring him out about
even on his investment.

The insurance on the building had
expired three days ago and had not
been renewed. c. B. Stark & Co.
are in the midst of litigation that
may rob them of insurance on their
stock. The situation in the latter
case is an interesting one Some
time ago E. T. Staples solicited in
surance from them and wrote a pol
icy for $1,000. When he came to
collect for it, however, the Starks
denied ever having ordered it and
refused to pay the premium. Mr.
Staples sued for the premium and
was defeated last week in justice
court in Talent. He has appealed
the case and it is scheduled to come
before the circuit court in the near
future. The Starks, through their
attorney, j. A. Lemery, now claim
the insurance. A part of the evil
dence introduced by Staples last
week is to the effect that he had for
warded the premium for the policy
and had received the company's re-
ceipt therefor. The policy is then in
force. Attorney Burns, for Mr. Sta
pies, states that an assignment of the
business had been made by Stark a.
Co., which brings the case under the
state law for determination.

NEW BANKING BILL.
Measure Will Come Before People in
November Eection.

An important measure on the. bal
lot next November gill be senate
joint resolution No. 19, gotten up by
the state banking board.
If enacted, this bill will make
shareholders in the state banks
doubly liable for their stock. AS it
now is, the shareholders merely lose
their stock in case of the banks in
solvency, while under the proposed
law they will be assessable for an
equal amount in meeting the bank S
liabilities.
The national banking act includes
a similar provision and the require
ment is indorsed by conservative
bankers throughout the country
While it is expected that consider
able opposition will be encountered
from the weaker banking interests,
Will Wright, state bank examiner,
expects the hearty cooperation of
the better financiers and hopes to
see the bill enacted into law.

FIRE DAMAGES HOME
l.. A. Abbott Suffers Loss as Result
of Defective Flue-Flames Ruin
Kitchen and Roof.

Ashland was again visited by fire
at $3.50 o'clock Wednesday morning
when the home of L. A. Abbott, re-
siding on Lincoln street, was badly
damaged by flames. The kitchen is
practically ruined and almost the en-
tire roof will have to be replaced.
Mr.. Abbott had just lighted the
fire in the kitchen stove and had
stepped to the stairway to call the
children. AS he opened the stairway
door he smelled smoke and mo-
ment later saw it pouring out of the
hallway in clouds. He rushed up
the stairs and pulled the children
out of bed, finding one of them near
ly suffocated. By the time Mr.. Alb
bott had the children downstairs the
flames had gained considerable head
way and the smoke completely filled
the house
A few neighbors hastened to his
assistance and succeeded in bringing
several streams from garden hose to
play upon the house. The alarm was
turned in and the fire wagon ap-
peared on the scene drawn by Ford
auto and followed by a dozen or so
of Ashland's volunteer fire depart
ment. When they arrived, however,
the flames were eXtinguished. The
kitchen suffered worst, but the entire
interior of the house was damaged
by the smoke and water Furniture
was badly soaked. A defective flue
is given as the cause of the fire.

POST OFFICE
CLOSE SUNDAYS

NEW ORDER.
DELIVER REGISTERED PACKAGES
Change Goes Into Effect at Once
Ashland Office Only One on Coast
Where Every Clerk Has Reached
Highest Grade.

Postmaster Casey is in receipt of
a new order from the postoffice de-
partment which affects offices of the
first and second grades. The order
is printed in full below. This will
mean the absolute closing of the
postoffice on Sundays and is in line
with the policy of the department to
give employees day of perfect rest
wherever possible. The Ashland
postoffice is remarkable in that all
the employees have reached the high
est grade possible in a postoffice Of
the second grade, being probably the
only one on the Pacific coast that
can boast such efficient service. The
letter follows:
Washington, Aug. "a, 1912.
Postmaster.
Sir: The postoffice appropria-
tion act for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1913, provides:
" That hereafter postoffices of the
first and second classes shall not be
open on Sundays for the purpose of
delivering mail to the general pub
lie, but this provision shall not pre-
vent the prompt delivery of special
delivery mail
Under this law you will close
the general delivery, carriers win
dows, and lock boxes and discontinue
all deliveries by carriers on Sunday.
You will note, however, that special
delivery mail is excepted and you
will therefore arrange to have on
duty sufficient force to handle this
matter promptly.
The department desires to reduce
Sunday work to the minimum so that
as many of the employees as possible
may enjoy complete day of rest on
Sunday. You should, therefore, re-
quire only a sufficient number col
clerks to report for duty on that day
in order that transit mail and the
mail collected for dispatch may be
handled without delay. If no mai
is dispatched on Sunday very early
collection should be made on Monday
morning and the mail for local deliv
cry distributed before the carriers
leave for their first trip.
Respectfully,
&C. p. GRANDFIELD,
First Assistant Postmaster Gen
