Local Boy Is Author.

Central Point Herald: Considera-
BILE surprise was occasioned in this
city when it became konwn about
town that Peanut" Holmes had
written book and that the publica-
tion of the volume was about fin
ished, with every evidence that the

The title of the book is THE Maid
of the Mountains; or, The Mystery of
the Tall Pines" and we understand
that the story is drawn from local
surroundings and local characters.
That the book is all right is indi-
Gated by its acceptance by the large
publishing house that has undertake
en- the printing of the volume. r.
G. Reames is interested in the ven
ture with Mr.. Holmes in that he has
helped to get the company interested

HAD A STRENUOUS TRIP
Mrs. Alnutt Had Quite an Expert
ence in Trip From Crescent
City Saturday.

Mrs. Hattie Alnutt of this city had
a memorable trip coming from Cres-
cent City to Grants Pass last Satur-
day. She came over in the auto
stage. Two machines were run, the
large one being a $1,000 machine,
without a top. She started in that
but was shifted to the smaller, COW
cred car when it began to rain.
When some distance the other side of
Kirbyville the large auto broke down
and the passengers in the small ma
chine were unloaded at Kirbyville,
where they had to stay over night,
while the machine returned to the
assistance of it's mate. They finally
arrived in Grants Pass just in time
to catch No. 13 for Ashland, reach
ing here at 1875 a. m. Her sons,
Will Mitchell and Joe Alnutt, went
to the motor expecting to meet her,
and failing to find her phoned to
Grants Pass and were informed that
the stage was not yet in nor heard
from. Joe Alnutt at once started for
Grants Pass, meeting the train on
which his mother was on en- route.
When he got there he could get no
trace for some time of the autos or
their drivers and telephoned Cres-
cent City relatives without result
| Meantime Will Mitchell went to the
afternoon train to meet Joe and
failed to find him. Then, knowing
| Joe would not be home till midnight
he went to his mothers home and
was surprised to find her there. Mr.
Alnutt finally got home all right and
the comedy of mischances was over
Mrs. Alnutt reports a very pleasant
visit with relatives at Crescent City
The stage company at Grants Pass
stated, that this would be the last triI
over the route with autos this year
They had chains on all four wheels
and then it was almost impossible tC
keep them from skidding the ma
chine.

CAN'T BE BEAT.
Ashland Fruit and Vegetables Are
Unsurpassed Anywhere.

We wish all those southern Cali
fornians who have an idea that sec
ton of the country produces wonder
full results in vegetation might see
the tomatoes and potatoes produced
on Ora Angles lot on Oak street, or
some of the kind of turnips on dis
play in the window of G. F. Billings
office, or could see the size and put
their tooth over the tomatoes raised
by George Eubanks, and they would
forever hold their peace in discuss
ing the fecundity of southern Cali
fornia. What man has done for that
region in Transforming desert into
garden God has done for this in
originally planting here a soil rich
with natures gifts and enough nat
ural moisture to produce the great
est vegetation on the face of the
earth. The writer has said a hum
dred times that the climate at Ash
land, for those who have to live in
/ the same house twelve months in the
year, will beat anything that can be
found in southern California a thou

TO FACE GRAND JURY
Wells LounsberIy, the Train RObber,
viii BE Held to the Grand Jury
at LeavenwOrth.

Topeka, Kan, Oct. 19.-Wells
Lounsberry, the Medford, Ore, ban
dit, who was captured in North To-
peka on August 22, after holding up
a Union Pacific mail car out of Kan
sas City, will be held by the grand
jury sitting at Leavenworth next
week on a charge of train robbery.
Lounsberry is not ready for trial
in this term of United States district
court, which opens in Leavenworth
this week, and it is not probable
that the prisoner will appear before
the grand jury in person. Louns-
berry will be represented by his at
torney, D. c. Tillotson. The prison
er can be tried during the term of
federal court, which opens in Topeka
! on November IS, but may not be
ready for a hearing before the open
ing of the January term of federal
court at Kansas City, Kan. 1t is ex-
pected that insanity will be the plea
presented by counsel for Lounsberry
who is held in the county jail here
Officers Sanders and Wilt, who
arrested Lounsberry early in the
morning of August 22, after des
perate hand to hand struggle in g
Pullman car in North Topeka, will
go to Leavenworth tomorrow and
appear as witnesses before the grand
jury.

ence the parcels post bill was
passed. He has secured more sub
stantial appropriations for Oregon
than have ever before been secured.
In other words, Senator Bourne has
made good and the people generally
are coming to recognize his great
ability and his disposition to give his
best efforts to the advancement of
Oregon, both materially and politi-
cally.
The splendid feeling at the recep-
ton today presages large majority
for Bourne in this community at the
election November 5.

Political Equality Needed.

Whatever may be the needs of
our system of government, the one
that stands out pre-eminently in my
estimation is that of political equal
ity for men and women. The ideal
of democracy is the greatest vision
of modern times, but it is a vision
only half realized when the political
existence of only half of the human
race is recognized. 1t seems to me
unjustifiable to pass any alws or in
stitute and reforms affecting both
men and women, no matter how
carefully the welfare of women may
be considered, without allowing them
to record their opinion in the same
way as men. There is nothing that
would raise the standard of the in
dividual as quickly as direct respons-
ibility for, and the power of chang
ing the laws which govern them.
We who are engaged in the
pursuit of votes for women believe
that every day that goes by leaving
women politically unrecognized
marks an arrest in the development
of womanhood and a check in the
progress of the race. Eleanor Gar
rison.
