Concerted Fight Against
Pear Blight in the Valley

The result of this has been for the
authorities to take the position that
the growers are responsible for much
of the damage done. This position is,
in the opinion of your committee,
both justifiable and reasonable, and
your committee has asked that the
law be enforced irrespective of cir
cumstances.
At the same time, it is apparent
that the past year has been an un-
usually favorable one for blight,
which created situation beyond the
control of the inspection force, and

Discussed Along Various Lines
Much Good Accomplished.

The get-together dinner held at
the Elks dining room last evening
under the auspices of the Ashland
Commercial Club was without doubt
the greatest thing of it's kind in the
history of the club and of the city.
Entered into with fear and trembling
by the club, with the hope that the
attendance might reach SO, it grew
almost spontaneously until there
we're over 200 tickets sold and 1877
sat down to the delicious supper
served by Mrs. Louise Conner of the
Hotel Oregon. The menu combined
the substantial with the delicacies in
a manner which won the hearty ap-
proval and consumption of the as
gemblage, and was as follows
Potato Salad. Dill Pickles.
Chicken Fricassee.
Virginia Ham.
Mashed Potatoes. Green Peas.
Assorted Cake.
Pineapple Sherbet.
Siskiyou Mineral Water. Coffee.
Throughout the meal there was
fine orchestral music furnished by an
orchestra gotten together for the oc-
casion by Clark Bush, formerly of the
Petersen Orchestra. Their playing
was fine and many were heard to
urge Mr.. Bush to make a permanent
organization of it as the city Is now
without regular orchestra since the
departure of Mr.. Petersen. Inter
spersed with the instrumental music
were several fine vocal selections
The Elks Quartet rendered one and
we're heartily encored and responded
with another fine selection. i. l.

MISSlSSIPPIAN IN PENSACOLA
WITH VIEW OF LOCATING RosIN

FACTORY IN THIS ciTY-HAS
PROVED SUCCESS IN OTHER
PLAcES-THINKs THIS is MOST
INVITING CITY.

j. H. Castona. of Lane Miss. in
Ventor, and representative of a large
distillation plant of that city, is in Pen
sacola with a view to establishing
plant in this city.
Mr. Castona is the patentee of con-
trivance which, he claims, will be a
revelation to the naval stores industry
of this state and especially to West
Florida. 1t has proved a distinct sue
cess in Mississippi. Louisiana and Ala
bama- according to Mr.. Castona, and is
now to be introduced in this state.
Our process is a most simple one"
said he yesterday, and we are figuring
on locating a plant in Pensacola for
this one of the best cities in the South,
all things considered. This city has
many advantages to offer and we are
now seriously considering locating a
plant here.
1--WE extract the turpentine and pine
oil by successive steam distillation,
separating the turpentine and pine oil
during primary distillation Of the wood
chips. We then extract the rosin with
neutral solvents, wash out the creosote
and tar and other foreign products
from the rosin solution with chemicals
and then disti1l off the solvent and re-
cover same with steam and collect the
rosin as a. residue.
Our process saves the producer
more than so per cent said Mr. Cas-
tona land wherever we have estab-
lished a plant they have proved phe-
successful. It is purely and
simply proposition of utilizing the
waste products"
Mr. Castona said further that his
company seriously considered erecting
a plant in Pen cola, for no city in the
South offered greater inducements for
the product of their mill. The ship
ping facilities were all that could be
desired and every possible advantage
was here.
ct am looking over the field" said
Mr. 'Castona "and from what I have
seen am inclined to believe that this is
the best point that we could POSSIBLY
select for a factory"
Mr. Castona will be in the city for
several DAYS and in the meantime will
several sites for his plant
which he has under consideration.

melancholy, irrita bility, and mental de-

HISTORY CHARLTON CASE.

Washington, June 10-The killing Of
Mrs. Porter Charlton stirred Europe
and America as have few murders OF
recent years. With the discovery OF
her crumpled body stuffed into a
trunk and sunk in Lake Como, Italy,
where she had been with her husband
to spend her honeymoon, both con-
tinents turned to search for the muir
derer
The first great problem to solve was
the whereabouts of the twenty one
years old husband who as a bank clerk
in New York, had married the woman
eight years older than himself and the
divorced wife Of Neville II. Castle, d
San Francisco lawyer. His father,
Paul Charlton. as adviser Of the bu
reau of insular affairs and former
President Taft's classmate, was firm In
the conviction that his son, too, had
been murdered. That question was
solved when Porter Charlton, with his

arose almost at once the diplomatic
problem of Charlton's extra dition. II
was admitted on all hands that Charl-
ton could not be tried in the United
States for a crime committed in italy.
His friends, headed by his father, took
the position that he could not be ex-
tradited to Italy, because Italy had
always refused, under the extradition

for crimes committed here.

was Of her husband. Now at
last sic has sued for separation. ali
mony and the restitution Of large sums
which, she aff1rms, she has advanced to
the duke, who is the French preten1er,
1t would not seem that the duchess
should have much trouble in gaining a.
divorce. The dukes private life has
been just one scandal after another.
Shortly after he attained his majority
he was sued by the husband of an
Australian prima donna, who alleged
that the duke had alienated his wife's
affections. According to the stories
current at the time the duke fell in
love with the singer in London and
followed her through several countries
disguised as her valet.
This was but one of the esca pades
traced to the duke since he attained
his majority in 1890. Because of his
Objectionable personal conduct and by
reason of his intrigues against the
French government, he was warned
out of nearly every country of Europe

as to lead the car of Russia, the queen

mark, to all of whom in turn he offered

The Duchess of Orleans before her
marriage in 1896 was Archduchess
Marie Dorothea of Austria, daughter
of Archduke Josef. The maria e was
brought about by the ambitious Prin-
cess Clementine, grandmother of the
bride
Before taking up a career as wife of
the Duke of Orleans, the Archduchess
Maria Dorothea was an artist of con-
siderable merit and composer of airs
which were popular in Austria She
had a fortune in her own right and
had founded a large chi1dren's hospital
before she met the duke. She is two
years his senior.
