months shall forfeit all right to the

the olympic games Of which little ID
known by the general athletic enthusi-
ast Is the nght being made by the COM
mittees Of the various competing coun-
tries to prevent the spread of profession
alism among the victorious athletes. The
effort made by professional promoters to
secure the names OF Hannes Kohlemai-

X. Macarthur. winner Of the Marathon
race, caused much dissatisfaction and
discussion among the members OF the In

Letters from various members of the

aside his amateur status. II is pointed
out that he won the greatest athletic
honors ever gained by a modern Olym-
pic athlete, and that he should preserve
these honors and be in a position to de-
fend his titles at Berlin in 1916. The
committee feels that should Thorpe turn

Japan. He said:
An Inspiring Example.


The tragic death Of Gen. and Countess
Nogi is sad in the extreme, and is to be
profoundly deplored as an irretrievable
loss, not only to the large circle of his
friends and admirers. but also to the
whole nation. At the same time, 1t will
be regarded as a lofty and inspiring ex-
ample of intensely stoical devotion and
loyalty to his august master under whom
he played so conspicuous a role
1T is an eloquent testimonial how the
true spirit of the Samurai can flourish
even in the atmosphere Of modern ma
terialism and individualism. While the
lamented generals great military talents
and his courage. both moral and per-
sonal are indeed chapter well known
to the world in the history Of the Russo
japanese war. his eminent ability as a
civil administrator and especially as a
most powerful molder of the sentiments
of the rising generation in Japan is COM
paratively unknown to the foreign pub
lie, being eclipsed by his brilliant MILL
tary achievements.
But his well-earned reputation in
those fields of peaceful activities is high
ly appreciated among his own country
men. The highly successful government
Of Formosa Is much indebted to the ad-
ministrative ability which he manifested
as the governor general of Formosa In
the days when the affairs Of the newly
acquired island stin required statesman

many in his younger days
But he was by no means a man Of the
sword alone, but Of the pen as well. His
profound scholarship in the japanese and

personality, qualified the general in a
most pre-eminent degree as the ideal
educator, who can at once be the model
and the inspiration for the minds and
hearts OF the Japanese youths
Cheerful Companion.
"As a man. he was kind modest, and
generous-in short, a gentleman every
inch. The most distinguishing trait in
his character was his strong sense Of
devotion TO duty. Almost intense in this
sense, to the point OF being absolutely
stoical, he was never known to be cyni-
cal. He was always so cheerful and
agreeable as q companion that one could
scarcely believe that the whole-hearted
general had passed through the almost
Job-like ordeal In being during the Port
Arthur siege the witness of the deaths
OF his two sons, the only staff in his old
age.
"On the day OF his triumphaI return to
Tokyo he composed a famous poem, In
which the scholarly general sang with an
indescribable pathos lamentations over
the fate of the soldiers whose lives he
had to sacrifice before the gate of the

pathetic poem shows in nutshell the
lamented Count Nogi as a great general

R. w. Dunlap came in from his
mine on Wagner creek yesterday for
day or two rest. Mr.. Dunlap is
the owner of the old Cleveland
claims and reports the properties as
showing up well both in copper and
gold. Last spring he started a cross
cut in the hanging wall (or what has
heretofore been thought to be the

seemed to be the apex of an ore
chute which carries 5 per cent cop
per and an appreciable quantity OF
gold. His next move was to start a
tunnel lower down and about Is feet
to the left of the old tunnel. Here
he has struck sulphide ore at depth
of 10 feet from the surface, which
resembles the ore encountered in the
upper tunnel, but at the present
depth is unable to say if it is paral-
lei vein or one immense lead of about
20 feet in width, but in either case
he says it looks good to him.

At the city council meeting the
city recorder read a letter from At
torney A. E. Reames of Medford to
Mayor Neil, in answer to the latter's
request for information as to the
status of the injunction suit brought
some time ago by the Home Tele-

Hon. R. P. Neil, Ashland, Ore.
Dear Sir: Replying to your in
quiry as to the status of the Ashland
telephone case, l have to say that
just prior to the county telephone
merger l visited Ashland and inter-
viewed those citizens who were sup
posed to be in possession of the nee
essary facts to make up the answer
for the city of Ashland, and who
were most interested in the city's de-
Tense of the case. These facts were
gathered just prior to the merger,
which came as a surprise to me as
doubtless it was to you. | then en-
deavored to find out the true Situa-
tion, and this is the result of my in
vestigation, and although | am frank
to say that while l have no doubt
Whatever about the facts, / do not
have them from any authentic
source.
The merger was made the evening
prior to the expiration of the Pacific
States franchise in Medford. For
some time this company has been
endeavoring to obtain a new fran
chise, but was undable to do this on
terms satisfactory to the company
The company then made a complete
transfer of all its property, fran
chises, ETC., in Jackson county to the
Home company. At the time of this
transfer, and as a part of the same
the Pacific States ac-
quired the stock of the local Home
Telephone Company, and the result
is that there is but one telephone
company in the territory, and that is
the Pacific States, doing business

Having removed its office to the
room formerly occupied by the
library, the Commercial Club finds
space enough to furnish reading room
facilities which are available to mem

transients in our midst. Two dailies
! are on file in addition to city papers,

office is also equipped with maps,
folders, timetables, directories, and
several works of reference. In this
connection it is designed to make the
rooms serve the purpose OF general
information as far as possible The
trustees are always willing to have
this particular room occupied occa-
sionally to further any event which
has a specific local significance, such
as civic Improvement measures, COM
mittee meetings, etc, and for such
purposes the premises are available.
at almost any time.
In an adjacent room members have
the privileges of billiards, pool,
checkers, chess, cards, cribbage, etc.
and as the winter evenings draw nigh
these quarters are pretty well
thronged. Even the strains of music
occasionally are heard in the familiar
old headquarters. By virtue of skill
and talent, if not by direct appoint
ment, Professor H. G. Gilmore occa-
sionally occupies the position of mu-
sical director, by force of circum-
stances being his own accompanist
The result is that the Schaff piano
has been impressed into service after
a long period of neglect, and the
wish is father to the thought that it
may be oftener heard under the skill
full manipulation of Professor Gill
more. An Oliver typewriter is also
among the adjuncts of the office, a
convenience which many visiting
strangers have learned to appreciate.
