JACKSON COUNTY RICH.
C. B. Watson Tells Something OF
Value of Resources.

Mail Tribune: G. B. Watson of
the geological survey was in Med
ford Tuesday and reports that several
days have already been spent by the
commission in investigating the min
eral resources of upper Bear creek
section. He with A. N. Winchell and
l.. E. Weber of the University of
Wisconsin are making an exhaustive
study of Jackson county minerals
and will furnish the data for state
report to be made in 1914. Mr.. Wat
son, who is of Ashland, would make
no official statement concerning
what the commission had found so
far but gave as his private opinion
that Jackson county was unusually
rich in great variety of valuable
minerals. "There is no question as
to the great value of Jackson county
minerals" he says.

An attractive affair was the
luncheon given Wednesday at 1880
at the home of Mrs. Stuart Saunders
on North Main street. The hostesses
for this occasion were Mrs. Saun-
ders, Mrs. c. H. Summers, Mrs. R.
S. Davis, Mrs. j. R. Burnette and
Mrs. A. C. Briggs, these being the
ladies of the Fortnightly Club who
held highest score for the year. The
dining table, which was laid for
twelve, presented a most attractive
sight with it's centerpiece of sweet
peas and the dainty water-color place
cards, the work of Mrs. Summers.
The guests were Mrs. E. E. Bagley,
Mrs. E. d. Briggs, Mrs. A. D. Gra-
ham, Mrs. E. Peil and Mrs. Ira
Shoudy, the less fortunate members
of the club, and Mrs. Robert Hall of

Nearly one hundred local young
people took part in the presentation
of THE Doll Shop" at the Chautau-
qua building Tuesday night under
the auspices of the Civic Improve
ment Club and under direction of
Nine. j. SILVER of Budapest Hungary.
The play was given entirely in
pantomime with songs and choruses
and dances. Miss Mildred Drake was
queen of the dolls and Andrew Nc
Gee was 'Limpy' the king. They
did splendid work both in singing
and dancing. Nine. SILVER was here
but little over one week and in
that time taught many special dances
to girls and boys to whom the work
was entirely new and strange.
The first act opened on an old
shopkeeper and his daughter arrang-
ing and displaying their stock OF
dolls. An Englishman and his wife
and daughter and later a burly
Dutchman entered to make purchases
and the mechanical dolls were dis
played in all their wonderful accom-
plishments.
In the evening the shopkeeper fel
asleep and Fairy entered and cast ;
spell over him and woke the doll
for a night of revelry. At the wav

THE DOLL SHOP" FINE
Drew a Large Crowd and Presented
an Evening of Enjoyable En-
tertainment.

"The Doll Shop" from the stand
point of local talent, was a roaring
success. 1t was a novel and pleasing
presentation. The actors were we'll
trained and their relatives and
friends were proud of them, every
one. No other town, the size of this,
can present more talented group
of girls and boys than Ashland. They
are at home wherever you put them,
whether in the high school play or
"The Doll Shop
The most pleasing features of the
entertainment were the "Minuet" and
"All Irish Smile" In fact, the dear
little princes in the minuet were so
prettily, comfortably and sensibly at
tired that the writer is of the opin-
ion it would not be so bad if the
women of the world were so attired
permanently. 1t gives such easy, free
grace to the movements we could
not but contrast it with the cumber-
some skirts and hobbling trappings
Dame Fashion has sentenced women
to assume of late. And should the
oversensitive shrink at it's suggestive
ness, we would only offer the opinion
it is less so than the tight skirts now
in vogue, for the one feigns to con-
ceal, but dissembles, while the other
lends modesty, grace and comfort,
affording freedom of action as we'll
as beauty to adornment.
Billy Briggs and Helen Scott were
catchy indeed in their kiss, Kiss,
Kiss" and Frances Hamlin, as al
ways, responded to a hearty encore
in her "Pink Petty from Peter"
Beatrice Miller looked and played the
part in her Spanish dance, a true
sonora; and Mildred Drake was, to
the manner born, a real queen OF
dolls, while Andrew McGee was the
limpiest king that ever lived. The
little Pink, Panki, Poo" bunch took
the house, and Irene Barrett and
Hortense Winter present a true as
pect as Baby Dolls" Fairy Alta
Farmer with her wand put the whole
doll shop in action.
Walter Smith had an hallucina.
ton. He thought he was under the
Anheuser Busch. Although there is
no such bush about this town, we dc
not blame him for growing groggy
in the presence of such an ensemble
of beauty and grace, in gala attire
and pyrotechnic effect. His hallucin-
alton is chargeable all to that, for il
is hardly probable he was in the sit.
uation depicted by Pearl Ruger in
the play of 81 Can't Forget You
Honey"
Withal, "The Doll Shop" is pleas
ing extravaganza, just the kind in
which Ashland talent is best shown
The ladies of the Civic Club are
to be congratulted for making it pos
sible for Ashland to enjoy such 6
treat.

ing of her wand they sneezed and
took on life and the scene closed
with the whole shop alive and kick
ing" as Topsy put it.
The second act was composed of
many different drills and dances as
follows: The Paper Dolls" in a
pretty chorus and dance, solos by
the King and Queen, a colonial
minuet, duet and dance kiss, Kiss,
Kiss" by Helen Scott and Billie
Briggs, Spanish dance by Beatrice
Miller, song and dance by four little
Chinese maidens, song and dance by
the pretty pair of Baby Dolls
Irene Barrett and Hortense Winter,
solo and wooden shoe dance by
Frances Hamlin, dance ensemble,
Garland Maids" with Nine. SILVER
in a beautiful solo dance, and last
but not least the chorus and jig,
"All Irish Smile" by four girls and
four boys.
The ensemble work was splendid
and Nine. SILVER deserves much
hearty praise for the way in which
she successfully handled so many
young people and drilled them sc
perfectly in the short time she
worked with them. The finale was
the striking of midnight and the re-
appearance of Fairy who sent the
dolls back to doll-land and woke the
shopkeeper.
The ChautauQua building was no
packed but there was a very appre
ciative audience and a great many o.
the numbers were encored. Nine
SILVER goes next to klamath Fall
to put "The Doll Shop" on in tina
city and the good wishes of the en-
tire cast and the Civic improvement
Club go with her.

MEMORY CAN BE TRAINED

England has a new prodigy in the person of a Northumberland miner whose memory is so phenomenal that he can recite whole pages which he has read once without making the least slip, and repeat backward or forward the most formidable list of words presented to his gaze or read over by another individual. Those who respectfully plead a treacherous memory may well envy this genius his remarkable gift Although itself unique and no measure for the aver age mind yet something may be said
 in favor of educating the memory, or.
 rather. putting it under discipline
 much as we do the rest of our men tai faculties and without which un- doubtedly they would be as weak or capricious as the bad memory" which
 becomes at once our bane and our ready excuse.
 Experience demonstrates that mans memory is much more rctcn- tive when young than later in life and, moreover, we seldom forget the thing in which we are deeply and vitaIly interested. The person who cannot rccite two lines from book after half a dozen attempts is not at all likely to forget the exact amount of a score of debts owing to him, nor any engagements upon which his heart is fixed. Blackburn, the fam ous English chess player, declared that he had but an ordinary mem ory, but was habituated from child hood to notice clearly "One thing at d time" He could play twelve games simultaneously. Almost numberless mechanical schemes have been cx- plotted to aid the human mind in it's distressful plight of forgetfu:ness, but probably all put together they are not worth a minutes notice compared with focussing the mind with single purpose upon the one fact to be re- tained.
 Curiously enough, our expanding knowledge and the complex interests of modern life seem to have enfeebled rather than fortified the retentive faculty Before the dcluge of books and periodicals, when men must needs learn by hearsay, it was considered no great marvel to remember and recite national sagas, sacred books, epic poems or treatises and orations. Even today. far from the madding crowd" are found individuals whose minds are an cpitome of local history. The German poet Klopstock mcmor- izes Homer's "Iliad" line by line, and there have been numerous in stances of folk able to verify mental ly almost any chapter or verse from the New Testament
 While showing the possibilities and capacity of memory, such instances are becoming rarer, and somehow the average mind, momentarily hopping from one subject to another or hur- ried along amid the kaleidoscope shows and images of modern life, re- ceives no abiding impression. A fast speeding automobile tends to make the landscape a blur If the modern mind is like the spin of a mirrorcd lantern amid the restless roll of the sea, there is all the more need that memory should be vigorously trained to do it's Philadelphia Press.

WESTEGARD
 IN AND OUT
Pathfinder and Party Re turn from Douglas, But Will Leave Again This Morning -Ocean-to-Ocean Men Leave Also

l w O. L. Westgard, the pathfinder | for the A. A. A. who is now mapping and logging the Borderland route returned in the pathfinder car from Douglas last night and will leave this morning for Douglas again to further continue his route. In returning to Phoenix Pathfinder Westegard took the road back by way of Lordsburg. Duncan, Stafford, Globe and Roose- welt. The trip was made without mishap.
 All along the route from here to Lordsburg enthusiastic parties of au- tOmobilists met the pathfinder and his party and welcomed them. The. reception at Tucson and Douglas be- ing especially hearty. At Douglas before starting for Lordsburg and thence north, the automobilists of the Copper City decided to send dele gation to accompany him through to Globe. This they did and two cars loaded with good fellows from Doug las went on to the big shelter city in Gila county.
 The route was found to be in pret- ty good shape with the exception of d short stretch between Lordsburg and Duncan This part was bad Clifton was not touched, but will be
 
 through Safford in preference to that of going by Col Dell NJ. Potter's place near Clifton. It is quite possi- ble however, that the road will be logged this time out. It is the inten- tion Of MT Westegard to go to Doug las again and from there back over the route to Stafford and from Saf- ford into Clifton, thence back to Douglas and on to Fl Paso.
 The work of the pathfinder in this section is attracting a great deal of attention. Fl Paso is awaiting his arrival and expects to give him great and glorious time when he reaches that city.
 Ocean to Ocean Men Leave
 For the purpose of continuing their picture making exploits along the route between this city and Albu- querque the road logging part of the Atlantic and Pacific Film company headed by w. F.. Macarton, leave Phoenix this morning after a stay here since Sunday night. In the three full days spent in the valley every possible point of interest has been pictured until more than four thousand feet of film of the valley has been secured. The route of the party leaving here will be that to Roosevelt to Globe and then on through the mountains by Clifton and Morenci and Duncan into Lordsburg Here however the party proposed to leave the trail to Fl Paso and start north through Western New Mexico for Albuquerque.
 Plenty of emergency utensils are taken along on the Spaulding car in which the party travels, and should they get strapped on the desert there is enough proVender to stay the bangs of hunger for three full days while someone goes for help.
 The party spoke enthusiastically of the beauty of the valley yesterday evening after all the work was done and nothing more was necessary but a good nights rest and an early get away The other members are Laurence Jasmin, R. P. Cooper and R L. Hyatt, driver of the car
