MAY CHANGE S. P. GRADE OVER THE SISKIYOUS
Vice President Calvin imaeS that NarOn Cutoff will Be Cut
Off From Further Consideration

the Southern Pacific, SC far as its
operating is concerned.
Neither Mr.. Calvin nor any of
the Southern Pacific officials hold
out any immediate hope for resump-
tion of construction activity on the
Natron-Klamath line, although sew
eral new surveys of that road have
been ordered. An effort is being
made to secure way over the Siski-
yous at lower elevation than orig
inally established"
The prospect of resurvey over
the Siskiyous is very pleasing to
Ashland people. That a far easier
grade is possible has been demon
strated time and again and is being
demonstrated today by Jackson coun-
ty road builders. The only reason
for the railroad making the climb it
does is the fact that early day traffic
did not justify the expense of an
easier grade. Today as exposition
traffic approaches and rapid develop
ment looms up, the compeny begins
to see its way clear to establish a
new grade-thus solving the problem
of traffic up and down the coast for
all time without the makeshift of the
Natron Cutoff, etc.

W. c. 7. U. MEETING IS PROFITABLE
WHITE RIBBON ADVOCATES LISTEN TO ADDRESSES AND TRANSACT
IMPORTANT BUSINESS AT REGULAR MEETING

The w. c. T. U. held a profitable
meeting Tuesday at 2:30 in the NJ. E.
church.
Meeting was called to order by
President Ashcraft. Mrs. Helman
read a Scripture lesson, after which
Rev. B. w, Shaver, pastor of the Naz-
arene church, led in prayer.
Mrs. Bristan gave a vocal selection,
after which the speaker, B. R. Greer,
was introduced. Mr.. Greer spoke
briefly and to the point, commenting
on the moral laws as they now stand
on the statute books of the state of
Oregon. He was enthusiastic in his
commentator of these laws, calling
especial attention to several as fol-
lows: The inclusion of hard cider
and near-beer in the spirituous liquor
class; law prohibiting sale of intoxi-
cants in railroad shops and sale of
liquor to minors and drunkards; also
the prohibition of women and minors
entering wine houses, and the law
covering the shipment of liquor into
dry territory. He then announced
himself as standing firmly for the
enforcement of these laws and ready
to support any man who stands for
their enforcement.
Mrs. Ashcraft then quoted DI.
Noble, who says: "a Christian is a
mind through which Christ thinks,
heart through which Christ loves,
a voice through which Christ speaks,
a hand through which Christ helps"
Virginia's governor, who said: "My
experience as governor leads me to
the conclusion that rs per cent of all
the crime is in consequence of the
use OF ardent spirits. Kansas proves
that this is true in the most indis-
putable way, and l believe if the
manufacture and sale of ardent spir-
its were entirely stopped, crime
would almost cease to exist. You
can use this as signed statement
If you think proper" Also the call

The Portland Oregonian of Monday

Vice-P President Calvin of the South
ern Pacific in which it is stated that
the company is making an effort to
secure new survey over the Siski-
yous: "E. E. Calvin, vice-president
of the Southern Pacific, in charge of
operation, arrived in Portland Satur-
day for brief business visit in the

"Mr. Calvin is much interested in
the progress being made on the Will
lamette-Pacific, which the Southern
Pacific is building from Eugene to
Coos Bay. If time permits he will
take trip over the completed por-
tion of the line before returning to
San Francisco.
HE is we'll pleased, also, with the
development of the Willamette val
ley by the Portland, Eugene C East

MEDFORD
HELPS US
DELEGATION FROM THAT CITY
BOOSTS FOR STATE NORMAL,
WORKS FOR IT AT HOOD RIVER
Matter Laid Before State Federation
of WOmen's Clubs by Ladies OF
Greater Me1ford Club at Recent
Meeting.

That the Greater Medford Club has
taken up the fight for Ashland's nor
NAL school in dead earnest is shown
by the following from the Wednesday
Mail Tribune, which contains the fol-
lowing:
The delegates from the Greater
Medford Club to the Federated Won.
ems Clubs OF the Oregon state con-
vention held at Hood River pushed
the matter of recommending the re-
opening of the Southern Oregon State
Normal School. The resolution re-
ceived the favorable Endorsement of
the educational committee and re-
ceived extensive discussion on the
floor of the convention. Mrs. +.
Eggert. president of the scholarship
loan fund.- Mrs. f. F. Parsons and
Miss Julia Burgess of Eugene and
two representatives from other
parts of the state spoke in favor of
the school and Endorsement of the
resolution.
Mrs. Tillie Trumbull of Portland
asked that the Endorsement be re-
referred back to the educational COM
mittee for investigation and report
to the next state convention. Mrs.
Trumbulls contention was that the
state normal schools had been the
source of log-rolling in the .legisla-
lures of the past and that it would
not be desirable for the federated
clubs to hastily indorse this measure
at this time without careful deliber-
alton and asked that it be referred,
in view of the fact that the issue
is not to be PASSED upon by the vot-
ers until November, 1914.
Mrs. Trumbull's attitude was not
unfriendly and there was no effort
made to interrupt the reference since
an Endorsement at the state conven-
| tion next year one month before the
election would be Of more advantage
than at this time.
THE delegates from the Greater
Medford Club were Mrs. E. e. Gore,
Mrs. Charles l.. Schieffelin and Mrs.
w. G. Davidson. They took the mat
ter up at the request of the Alumni
Association campaign committee of
the Southern Oregon State Normal
School, who are already pushing their
campaign and are circulating consid-
cradle literature"

ALL WOMEN VOTERS SHOULD REGISTER AT ONCE
Registration Books Close Saturday Next at O'clock for Special
Referendum Election 10 Be Held November 4

After forty-year struggle to
carry Oregon for women's suffrage,
the hard-won privilege is apparently
scorned by nine of every ten of the
states female voters.
November 4 will be the first date
on which women may vote in Oregon
upon state measures. Scarcely 10
per cent of them have registered.
Unless the remaining 80 per cent do
so this week, their newly acquired
franchise will be lost so far as this
election is concerned.
October 20 has been heralded as
"the last day to register" 1t isn't,
however October 20 will be too
late. October 19, even, will be too
late, for that day is Sunday. The
registration books will be closed at
o'clock on Saturday of this week,
October IS.
If the woman voter lives in "a
county seat she should register at
the office of the county clerk; if at
distance from the county seat,
there probably Is deputized regis

WAS A CASE
OF SUICIDE
FRANCIS CALDER TURNER TOOK
OWN LIFE, is VERDICT.
WAS EVIDENTLY BADLY INVOLVED
Papers in His Baggage Showed That
He Had Got Into Trouble in Lon
don and Was Also Disappointed
in Love Affairs.

The inquest upon the remains of
the late Frances Calder Turner,
found dead in the toilet hoom of the
smoking car on train No. 13 Satur-
day, which was held Monday after
noon, brought out again the old, old
story of a young man of good fam
lily who let women and wine be his
undoing. The jury consisted of S. E.
Wise, Pierre Provost, NJ. c. Bressler,
C. w. Banta, r. G. Gamblers and
F. G. McWilliams, and after hearing
the testimony of the train crew DR..
Boslough, Will Dodge, Deputy Sher-
iff Good, A. c. Taylor of Grants
Pass, an uncle of the deceased, and
listening to the reading of number
of letters found in the effects of the
deceased, came to the conclusion that
it was a case of suicide and so
brought in their verdict.
Mr.. Taylor, the uncle, was prac-
tically the only one who was able to
throw any light on the matter and he
only as it was brought to him through
the letters found on the body and
in the effects of the deceased. His
trunk and grip had been checked to
Medford and were claimed and exam
ined by the coroner and Mr.. Taylor
Sunday.
From letters in the trunk it was
learned that he had left London sud-
denly, under a cloud, among the let
ters being one from his brother beg
ging him to cut out the booze and
brace up and saying that "the mater
had been hit pretty hard settling UP
his affairs. There was also letter
from a woman singing herself Mrs
Frank Turner, evidently of the lower
class, and also one or more pindicat-
ing an ENHANCEMENT or infatuation
with woman in higher life. 1t was
the theory of his uncle that his heart
had failed him as he approached the
home of his uncle, and he had decid-
ed upon suicide as the easiest way
cut. The fact that the revolver
could not be found would indicate
either that he had been conscious
long enough to drop is through the
toilet in an endeavor to hide the sui
eidal intent, or that it had accident
ally fallen through Immediately after
he had fired the fatal shot.
The remains were taken to Med
ford for burial.

A large number of Ashland busi-
ness men went to Medford by train
and by auto to attend the get-togeth-
er meeting. The affair was presided
over by Judge William Colvig, who
called upon Tom Richardson of Port
land, who spoke of the need of an
exhibit at Ashland and of the work
of the Portland bankers in financing
the small farmers.
He was followed by Mr.. Kroh,
president of the Grants Pass Com
mercial Club. Next on the program
was Judge c. B. Watson of Ashland,
who presented a series of resolutions
outlining the purpose of the meeting
and plan of organization and which
were unanimously adopted. He was
followed by Adison Bennett of Port
