START MOVEMENT FOR NORMAL Bill
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN OREGON NORMAL HELD En-
THUSIASTTC MEETING MONDAY EVENING TO START CAMPAIGN

The Southern iOregon Normal
School Alumni Association held an
enthusiastic reunion last Monday
evening in the lecture room of the
library, with representatives from
Medford, Jacksonville, Central Point,
klamath Falls and Ashland in at
tendance. Several musical numbers
delighted those present, there being
solos by Miss Floy Gamblers and Mrs.
Roy Walker, and a male quartet.
The real business of the evening
was a general discussion of the nor
NAL school problem in Oregon.
Among those called upon to discuss
the question were the Hon. B. F.
Mulkey, County School Superinten-
dent Wells, Professor Van Scoy, Pro-
fessors Milan and Bish, Miss Kaiser
and Homer Billings.
1t was the unanimous sentiment of
the meeting that the work of secur-
/ ing an appropriation in November
1914, should begin at once. The
vital need of more trained teachers
for the entire state was shown.
Jackson county with $50 teachers
possessed last year only 23 teachers
who had had their normal school
training in Oregon, and to supply the
1000 new teachers who are neces-
sary to make up the annual change
in Oregon is an impossibility for one
normal school to perform the duty
as other states besides Oregon have
found out before this. Oregon has
invested twelve million dollars in her
public school property and there is
annually expended six million dollars
to operate them, so that the profes-
sion of teaching is one of the most
important occupations in the state
and closely affects more homes than
any other
In the Willamette Valley alone
there are "a institutions of higher
learning, but in southern Oregon we
must needs send our young people al
least 250 miles before they come to
these schools. In consequence oi
which they are largely being educated
in California and in a great measure
are lost to us-and we need them.

secretary of the Ashland CONNER
cial Club to the trustees of that body
Wednesday, to take effect June Is.
The board of trustees appointed

tary pending meeting of the club.
1t is thought almost certain that the

the coming secretary of the club.
Mr.. Seager is an excellent man, ac-
tive, a hard worker and we'll fitted
for the position. He states that he
will only accept the position if as
sured of the hearty cooperation of
the entire club membership. This
should be accorded whoever is Sc
lected.
Mr.. Day has not yet fully decided
what he will do, but may return to
the middle west.

sponsibility and trust. Every men,
Der of the alumni is hopefully look
ing forward to the time when the
Southern Oregon Normal will again
prevail on firm financial footing.
Several important committees were
appointed. One to secure funds from
the alumni to start the campaign this
summer consisted of Miss Lydia Nc
Call, Mrs. Susie Pracht, Mr.. Roy
Walker, Miss Julia Fielder and Mr.
Bish. All former presidents of the
school and members of the faculty
were appointed to secure data and
information concerning the normal
school question in this and other
states. The executive committee.
with power to act and appoint all
subcommittee, are Homer Billings.
j. Percy Wells, Gertrude King, Louise
Perozzi and Fred Homes.
Mr.. Fred Homes was reelected
president and Miss Ethelyn Hurley
unanimously elected secretary for the
coming year.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the alumni was the following:
Whereas, The All-Wise Creator
has, since our last reunion, called
from earth Hon. H. c. Kinney, who
was for many years president of the
board of regents of the Southern
Oregon Normal School, and was at
all times firm and consistent friend
Of the institution, and
Whereas, Mr.. Kinney was a good
man, a useful citizen and a firm
friend of education, and in words and
deeds ever stood as a friend and ex-
ample to all young people, wherefore
be it
Resolved, That we, the Alumni AS
sociation of the State Normal School,
here assembled, note with sorrow the
demise of Mr.. Kinney, and that we
as children of the institution, to
whom he devoted so many years of
service, mourn his death as a per-
sonal loss to each and to all, and
that we do now express our apprecia-
tion of his life service in our behalf
Resolved, That copy of these res
olutians be sent to Mrs. Kinney, and
that a copy be retained as part ot
the permanent records of the associa.

"LITIGIOUS" INSANITY
Judge Kelly Says That This is What
Ais w. j. BOOsey, Well-KnOwn
Trouble Maker.

Medford, June 10.-W. T. Grieve
and E. E. Kelly this morning filed a
complaint before County Judge Tou
Velle charging w. j. Boosey with
litigious insanity, and as soon as the
defendant is apprehended he will be
given hearing on his mentality.
District Attorney Kelly stated this
morning that Boosey's mentality had
been so seriously impaired by his
years of continuous litigation that he
was no longer a safe person to be at
large.
A number of years ago Boosey got
into a law suit>over a roadway strip
on the south boundary of his land
near Jacksonville. Although the act
ual value of the land in controversy
was not over ten dollars, the case
was taken to the supreme court and
the judgment rendered against Boos-
ey was there sustained, Boosey
however, would never conform to the
mandate of the supreme court and
has been arrested several times for
contempt of court.
| Boosey recently served a Jail SEN
tence for pointing loaded shotgun
at c. c. Sanderson, who was at that
time owner of the property adjoin-
ing the contested road strip. 1t is
also alleged that Boosey has made
numerous threats against others.
The county court recently con-
demned road through the land ad-
| joining Boosey's tract, granting
Boosey's claim, in the hope that the
long-drawn-out pickering and con-
tention would be dropped, but after
establishing this line, Boosey fenced
off the new road and again OBJ
structed the highway.
According to the district attorney
the various civil and criminal ac-
tions brought in the last ten years
over this ten-dollar strip has cost
the county considerably over a
thousand dollars. Boosey, he says,
has for years harassed nearly every
official of the county and state with
continuous correspondence over
his fancied wrongs. The British con-
SUI y premier of Canada and the king
and his secretaries have been repeat
edly petitioned to for protection.
Although Boosey claims to be sub
ject of Great Britain, he frequently
votes in the Oregon elections.

SECOND TO REGISTER.
j. f. CrOwsOn and Party Second on
Mt. Ashland.

j. E. Crowson and nephews, Elmer
Porter of Watertown. S. D., Clarence
Crowson and Roy Hartley, made a
trip to Mt. Ashland, leaving the
Crowson home, 500 Boulevard, at
4:SO p. m. They arrived at Longs
cabin at 6 p. m. and at Hummingbird
spring, where they camped at S p.
m. They found it raining, but the
trees gave fairly good shelter. They
planned leaving camp at a. m, but
rain hindered them until I o'clock.
A heavy mist prevailed and the sec
ond mile from Hummingbird spring
they encountered snow, the trail
from there being covered with drifts
which made hard travelling. They
arrived at the summit at $3.50 a. m.
Here they found the only registry
this year that of NJ. H. Cole of Coles
tin, who registered February Il, be-
ing en- route on skees from Colestin
to Ashland.
After brief stop on the summit
Mr.. Crowson and party started down,
reaching camp at Hummingbrd
spring in 40 minutes. The start from
there was made at 1890 and they
reached home at 500 Boulevard at
1;10 p. m.

flock of $40 Angora goats en- route

northwest of Ashland, to his own

that he has found Angora goats prof
table, though the wolves and coyotes
got good many kids. He stated to

he had gone out and found where

CAT A BEAST OF PREY
Portland Judge Decides That They
Are Outlaws and May Be Killed
at Any Time.

Portland, June 11.-That cat is
beast of prey and that any person
has the right to kill such felines as
threatened to destroy his or her
property, was the decision laid down
by Judge Tazwell in the municipal
court this morning when he exoner-
ated Mrs. Sarah Criger OF the charge
of cruelty mistreating the cat of
Mrs. Emma j. Kuhn, a neighbor.
Flanked by a host of witnesses,
the belligerents blocked the progress
of the court until Mrs. Criger took
the stand.
81 took a shotgun and killed the
cat when it ate nearly two dozen OF
my young chickens" affirmed Mrs
Criger in reply to a question from
| the prosecution.
ut was pet cat and it never
went away from home" retorted
Mrs. Kuhn, and everybody started to
talk until Judge Tazwell threatened
to clear the court room.
Deputy City Attorney Sullivan is
something of kitty fancier himself
and he manifested little desire to
prosecute the defendant.
1T seems to me, Your Honor" he
said, that the cat brought her death
upon herself"
Judge Tazwell then held that the
cat as a species should be considered
offensive and that Mrs. Criger had
acted within her rights when she
summarily ridded the neighborhood
of the cat Mrs. Criger lives at 146
West Emerson street, and her arrest
Saturday night on a warrant served
by Patrolman j. j. Murphy barely
escaped being invalidated by being
served on Sunday, Mrs. Criger being
booked at headquarters within three
minutes of midnight.

GRANTS PASS BOOSTERS
Party in Ashland Tuesday Circulat
ing Advertising for Celebration
the Fourth of July.

An automobile load of Grants Pass
advertisers were in Ashland Tuesday
afternoon distributing pennants bear
ing the words, Meet us in Grants
Pass, July 4-5." The gentlemen
who composed the party were R. e.
Kroh, president of the Grants Pass
Commercial Club; F. w. Reed, man.
ager of the Grants Pass Telephone
Exchange, and E. R. Lawrence, man.
ager of the Bijou Theatre at Grants
Pass.
Mr.. Kroh, in inviting Ashland
people to visit Grants Pass for their
celebration, declared that Grants
Pass had started her celebration ar
rangements and advertised them
three weeks before Medford thought
of celebrating, and declared that
Medford started just because OF jeal-
ousy of Grants Pass. He urged the
Ashland people to celebrate at Grants
Pass and assured them that there
would be no grating; that outside OF
the ball game and possibly the races
everything would be free. He also
stated that they had made arrange
ments for an aeroplane flight that
would be the best of anything ever
seen in this part of the Pacific coaN
and it was only one of the numerous
free exhibitions of the two days cell
ebration.

FINE BAND CONCERT.
Ashland Band Gives Fine Concert
Tuesday Evening.

The citizens of Ashland were re-
galed with a delightful band concert
Tuesday evening. 1t was an i'm
promptu affair given because Harry
Bates and Howard l.. Brown wanted
to play with the boys once more.
The concert showed clearly the abil-
ity of our band boys to furnish first
class music and a series of band con-
certs once a week during the sum-
mer would add as much as anything
possible to the attractiveness of the
city during the summer. Would not
this be possible? Several business
men have expressed their readiness
to assist in defraying the expenses OF
music, ETC., and it is to be hoped that
something may be done along this
line. Clark Bush, the leader, states
that there is shortage of available
material on some instruments but
that he believes that it could be over
come if some enthusiasm could be
worked up.
The Tidings certainly hopes that a
movement will be started to secure
weekly concerts during the summer
If the band boys express a willing
ness to tackle the proposition il
ought not be hard to find those who
would be willing to circulate a sub
scription paper to raise funds to meet
the necessary expenses.
