short one, business being hurried
through in order that the time might
be given to the get-together meeting.
Three new members were added
by unanimous vote to the club.
Homer Billings reported on the in
quiry concerning the normal school
that investigation did not show that
the parties making inquiry had rec
ord of success with schools and he
had dropped the matter as undesir-
able.
The committee appointed to secure
guarantee notes to close up the Poly
technic pledge proposition stated that
they had secured 20 names on the
notes, for 500 each. The president
expressed the opinion that there
should be more names added and the
committee was continued to complete
the work.
Mr.. Gowdy, from the committee on
Old Ladies Home, reported that the
members of the committee had been
out of the city more or less and that
little progress had been made, but
promised increased activity

Oregon and Northern California Min

far as possible.

had been trying to catch the mayor
exceeding the limit, but had not been
able to do so. Acting Chief Porter
gave testimony to the same effect.
Mayor Johnson, in speaking of the
size of the petition, stated that if
the council entertained it and at
tempted to change the limits it
would only result in a counter petit
tion with several times as many sig
natures, as comparatively small
portion of the people had autos. He
believed that the petition should be
tabled. Councilman Cunningham
wanted roll call as he wanted to be
put on record as opposing any change
in the speed limits. Councilman
Werth also spoke opposing any
change, as did Councilman Sherman,
Councilman Gowdy and Councilman
sshcraft, the latter saying that he
had been informed that only 20 miles
speed was to be asked for. H. G.
Butterfield spoke in favor of an in
creased speed limit. On roll call
Councilman Beaver alone voted
against laying the resolution on the
table, Councilmen Cunningham, Ash
craft, Gowdy, Sherman and Werth
voting yes. The petition was thus
tabled.
Mr.. Bealer asked the council to
refund $5 fine for speeding which
he paid, claiming that he was on city
business when arrested. The petit
tion was tabled.

S.S.LEAGUE BALL GAME
Christians Defeat MethOdists in Live
ly Game at High School Grounds
Wednesday Evening.

The baseball game between the
Methodist Sunday school and the
Christian Sunday school at the high
school grounds last evening proved
to be very exciting game, and was
a much better game than the score
would indicate. On account of some
of the players not showing up on
time the game was not called till
$50. The Methodists won in the
toss-up and went to bat first. This
was a very short inning as the first
man up was put out and the next
two famed. The first man up for
the Christians made a hit and sue
ceeded in bringing in a run, the only
run of the inning.
In the second inning the Method
lists landed three hits but only
brought in one run. The last half
of the second the Christians found
the ball and batted all around, get
ting eight hits. One man walked and
the last man at bat famed, five runs
being added to the score.
In the third the Methodists were
up against it and did not even get a
hit. When the Christians went to
bat the Methodists put Lowry in the
box 70 replace Wenner. Lowry held
them down to four hits which netted
three runs.
In the fourth the Methodists gath
cred up lot of ginger and after
making two runs and two outs they
filled up the bases and were due to
even up the score when one of the
runners was caught off base and
they were retired. In the last half
of the fourth it was getting a little
dark to play good ball. The Chris
tians solved the mystery of Lowry's
curves and again batted all around,
getting eight hits and five runs.
The game was called off at the end
of the fourth inning on account of
darkness. Score:

A small but enthusiastic crowd
was out to witness the game, and
much interest was manifested, which
seems to insure successful Sunday
school league series. 1t has not been
| definitely decided who will play the
next game, because there is still
some uncertainty as to how many
teams will come into the league. A
meeting of managers has been called
for Friday night, at which time it is
hoped to arrange definite schedule

CET-TOCETHER
MEETING BIG
RANCHERS AND BUSINESS MEN
AT CLUB MEETING.
MUCH GOOD WAS ACCOMPLISHED
Ranchers Unit for Public Market
PrOposition-Many Other Good
Suggestions Made at Meeting Held
in Commercial Club Rooms.

The "get-together" meeting planned
by President Mccoy and the trustees
of the Ashland Commercial Club was
held Monday evening as scheduled
and was a decided success. There
were a goodly number of ranchers
and fruit raisers present and several
of them expressed themselves clearly
and forcibly upon the problems con-
fronting the Rogue River Valley,
showing keen insight into the needs
and breadth of vision which added
much to the value of the meeting.
Mr.. G. w. Miner was the first
speaker and stated that what the
farmers and ranchers most needed
was a cash market for their produce.
He said that the meeting of the Bell
view people Friday night had decided
to ask that Ashland provide public
market, that the producer and the
consumer might get directly in touch
to the benefit of both. He believed
that they could then deliver the
goods to the advantage of both.
r. NJ. Hedges was called upon and
said that he wanted to second the
idea of a market, anything to get
cash for the produce.
j. A. Schoenthal said one thing
the ranchers wanted to know was
what they could raise between their
young trees that would bring sure
cash sale. The land will produce
anything, the only question being that
Of a market. He believed the dairy
business should be pushed, but it was
impossible for the small farmer to
go out and ship in dairy cows, and
that they were not to be had in the
valley.
Mr.. Davenhill spoke along similar
lines. One of the gentlemen asked
whether or no the Ashland cannery
would be run this year, and President
Gillette of the Ashland Fruit &
Produce Association said that the as
sociation was now negotiating for the
cannery and if it got it would run
it the coming season.
Henry Easterly, a market gardener
residing in the city, also spoke, urg-
ing the necessity of a cash market
for produce. He urged public mar
ket
E. E. Phipps from the standpoint
of business man discussed the cash
proposition and told of its success in
other places. lie believed the
trade" proposition an unmitigated
nuisance from the standpoint of both
the producer and the dealer.
A. T. Warner spoke along the same
lines, endorsing what Mr.. Phipps
had said.
Mr.. Schoenthal commented on the
absence from the meeting of the mer-
chants who purchased produce and
regretted that they were not present.
l.. w. Gallatin, former business
man land, by the way, the majority
of the ranchers present were former
business mem, gave very sensible
talk Some amusement was created

ton of both Alban,a and Crete, but kec1ad replied that his instructions did not extend to that. NJ. Novako- witch observed that the Turkish state. meEt did not lend itself to any other interpretation, the allies taking it in that sense.
 Rechad, continuing his enumeration of the Turkish proposals, added that the Aegean islands should remain with Turkey
 Finally Rechad ended the reading of his communication by proposing that Turkey and Bulgaria treat direct concerning Adrianople. NJ. Daneff immediately declared it would be inn possible to accept this proposal, say ing The Balkan states were united en bloc to obtain their independence, en bloc they conducted the war, and en bloc they intend to carry on the negotiations and conclude peace on all large or small questions that may arise"
 Rechad then inquired whether the allies were ready to discuss peace on tEe basis of the Turkish proposals of todays M Venizelos replied that he desired Rechad to put in writing and deliver to the allies the text of his propositions so they might return a written answer. Thereupon the sit ting was suspended
 Upon reassembling Rechad com piled with their request and the all lies presented their answer in writ ing.
 This said the allies would main tain their original terms but for the sake of discussion they would invite Reehad to present to the next sitting Of the conference, a map of the ais trict of Adrianople with the frontier fine proposed by Turkey marked out on it. The conference then adjourn ed until Friday.
 Thus the bone of contention is Ardianople. The Bulgarians are ready to allow the Turks to retain in Adrianople, the famous mosque of the Sultan Selim, the greatest master piece of Ottoman architecture. They also are willing that the Turks shall keep the Murdaieh which was built by Muraid l the mosque of Muriad ", and the Bayard Mosque which are the main centers in Adrianople for Mohammedan worship.
 After the conference had adjourn ed today the allies held an informal meeting to discuss the situation.
