Speeches in such enthusiastic form as
to enliven the whole school to the
football prospects. Among the
speakers we're Miss Hassinger. Wal
ter Carpenter, Mr.. Mann, Charles
Delsman and Miss Wagner. Profess
sor Otto Klum gave an excellent con-
clusion in his plan for the yelI-leader
try-out.
In the last two years reports have
been brought to Ashland high school
of the great successes of former Ash
land graduates in the higher institu-
tions of learning. among whom were
Walker Thorn and Harold Huntley.
This record has been greatly swelled
by the latest report from the o. A.
e., from which college comes the
news of Alvin Wheeler's selection to
the position of freshman president.
Mr. Wheeler was a graduate of the
school in 1912 and took a post grad
uate course in this school last year.
holding the important position of veil
leader. The high school wishes Mr..
Wheeler the best of success in his
new office.
The assembly was addressed Tues
day morning by Mr.. Richardson of
Portland, whom Principal Moore in
troduced as one of the best known
commercial club speakers on the
coast. Mr.. Richardson talked to the
students about the coming Panama
Pacific doings in San Francisco and
Its Importance to Oregon and Ash
land in particular, since Ashland is
oregon's southern gateway and the
impression given the tourists by Ash
land would be the impression of Ore
gon that those stopping over would
carry away with them. The speaker
thought that Ashland had great
future and would receive a great
boost when the 1915 fair takes place.
Ashland's future depends on her peo-
pie.
The football prospect looks partic-
ularly bright this season and Coach
Klum has been leaving no stone un-
turned in trying to book games for
the Ashland boys. Besides the
alumni game Saturday there are
about six or seven games expected
from outside teams. Games with
Klamath Falls, Medford and Grants
Pass Will probably be played, besides
a game here with some northern
team on Thanksgiving day. To start
the season the local boys should have
a big bunch of rooters out at the ball
grounds next Saturday to yell them
to victory over the confident alumni
team. The prices are exceedingly
low for such an interest promising
game and it is hoped that the whole
city will turn out to see the locals
get started right. Tickets bought
before the game will be Is cents for
adults and 10 cents for children.
while the adult price will be raised
to 25 cents at the gate.

eral students who will not be able to

any benefit from the morning ses-

schedule will be changed in a week

arrivals will be re-established.

Commission Plans to Make It Apply

Oklahoma City, Sept. 3.-Because
ra- lroads disregard the &c passenger
fare in selling interstate tickets, the
corporation commission will consider
an order requiring the stopping of
trains at the last station within the
state, so interstate passengers may
repurchase tickets. Reports of the
commission show that nOtwithstand-
ing both Oklahoma and Kansas fach
have the &c rate, the fare from
point in one state to that in another
state is Sc all the way The states
have no jurisdiction over interstate
travel, and the interIate commerce
commission has not taken cognizance
of the local situation.
A proposed order was issued by the
commission yesterday upon which it
will receive evidence on September
10, that will require the stopping of
trains at the last station within the
state, so that passengers going be-
tween states may purchase tickets
from starting point thereto and re
purchase from such station to their
destination.
