CAMPAIGN FOR PERMANENT ROAD IMPROVEMENT

Sam Hill, the famous good roads
advocate of Washington. had a good
sized audience at his free lecture at
the Chautauqua tabernacle Thursday
evening.
Mr.. Hill, who is wealthy, is MAX
ing this canvass throughout the Pa
cific northwest entirely at his own
expense. He carries with him an ele-
CANT stereopticon outfit and shows
the best pictures illustrating good
and bad roads now being exhibited
anywhere in the United States.
Mr.. Hill is an ardent believer in
the possibility of building up the west
through the medium of good roads
and hopes to advance the cause by
interesting the general public. His
visit here was largely in the interests
of the proposed bond issue, of which

WAS ON CALIFORNIA
Former Ashland Woman Passenger
on Steamer Which Went Down
in Gambler Bay, Alaska.

Mrs. William Nickerson, daughter
of Mrs. Mary B. Shepherd of II Pine
street, was a passenger on the ill
fated State of California, which sank
in Gambler Bay, Alaska, three min
utes after striking a hidden rock,
full details of which appeared in the
daily papers.
Mr.. Nickerson, in a letter to his
daughter, Mrs. G.. w. Childers of
Medford, says:
Mamma started this morning on
the State of California for home.
The boat struck a hidden rock about
a mile from the cannery and went
down in three minutes. Fortunately
mamma was saved and is all right
except where she was struck by a
box or something in the breast, and
that is not serious. She was in the
water few minutes before she was
picked up. They ran the boat on
the beach, but it was so deep that
she went clear under. She lost her
trunk and most of her clothing, keep
sakes, ETC., and about $25 in money
and her watch. She will stay here
now until l go down, which will
probably be in about a month, maybe
little longer"
Mr.. Nickerson, who formerly lived
in Ashland and also near the old
Shepherd ranch on the Wagner
Springs road, is bookkeeper for the
Admiralty Trading Co., and during
the summer is stationed at their sal
mon cannery in Gambler Bay, Alas
ka, and in the winter in their Port
land or Seattle offices. Mrs. Nicker-
son was on her way to Ashland to
visit her mother and to Medford to
visit her daughter. Mrs. Nickerson
is Christian Science practitioner
and is well known to many of the
members of that denomination here.

Ashland Bakery.

We were invited by Mr. Rusk, the
proprietor of the Ashland Bakery on
Fourth street, to inspect his prem
ises, and we found everything beau
tifully clean from floor to ceiling.
The bread, pastry and confectionery
is all first-class. Mr.. Rusk came
here from San Francisco a little while
back, where he, was in the best bak-
cries in that city. He has been to
quite large expense in renovating
the bakery and he has made a thor
oughly good job of it and deserves
the appreciation of the public. He
wishes to state that anyone that
would like to visit his bakery will be
made very welcome. Adv. 1t

Caldwell Gets
Turner Home

Messrs. Turner and Lamkin have
just closed a deal with w. w. Cald-
well of this city and G. w. Dwinnell
of Montague for $50 acres of land in
Siskiyou county. Their newly ac-
Quired interests are in the same tract
with the GAO acres bought about 1S
months ago. Part of the considera-
ton of the deal was Mr. Turner's
beautiful home on North Main street.
Nessrs. Turner and Lamkin now have
1900 acres of the best grain land in
northern California, all of which is
under the proposed canal taking wa
ter from the klamath river, and
which it has just been determined
can be built at cost of $50 an acre
for the land in Shasta valley.

he is heartily in favor, not only be-
cause of its value to Jackson county.
but because of the fact that each
county that takes a step ahead makes
1t easier for good road enthusiasts in
other counties and states to get ap-
preparations or to get bonds voted
Mr.. Hill sited the fact that there
would probably be 10000 automo-
biles in California next year, and if
one in five of them came over the
Siskiyous and spent one day in Jack
son county they would leave as much
money as the total amount of the
bond issue.
Mr.. Hill was accompanied to this
city by Judge Tou Velle and George
E. Boos, secretary of the Tri-State
Good Roads Association, and several
other good roads boosters from Ned
ford.

Fourth and Main this excellent team
performed intricate drills that won
rounds of applause from the specta-
tors. Intricate evolutions were
formed with the ease and knowledge

PIONEERS
Held SWAY
SOUTHERN OREGON PIONEER so.
CIETY MET THURSDAY.
PROF. VININC PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
The Thirty-Seventh Annual Reunion
of the Pioneer Society of Southern
Oregon Very Enjoyable Affair
Many Attend.

The thirty-seventh annual reunion
OF the Pioneer Society of Southern
oregon, held in Ashland last Thurs
day, August 27, 1913, was a most en-
Joyable occasion for the old settlers
and their families, who gathered to
the number of two or three hundred
from different portions of Jackson
county The native sons and daugh-
ters of Ashland spared no pains in
the way of entertainment and the
literary, musical, social and CASTRO
nomic features were calculated to
please an epicure in either line.
The formal program opened at
1890 a. m. at the Chautauqua tab
ernacle with prayer by Prof. w. T.
Van Scoy, followed by an address of
welcome by the president of the So
ciety, Mrs. A. H. Russell, who gave
a brief and interesting review of
some of the things that had hap
pened in this country during her res
idence here of fully sixty years.
Miss Norma Minkler, one of Ash
lands most talented native daugh-
ters, rendered a pleasing piano solo,
which was followed by a vocal solo
and encore by Mrs. Tiffany Leland
of Portland.
The address of the day was then
given by Mr.. Irving E. Vining, scion
of one of the prominent pioneer fam
lilies Of the valley and grandson of
the late William Hoffman, the first
president of the pioneer society. A
native son of Jackson county, Mr..
Vining has been successfully engaged
for number of years past in study,
in travel and in lecturing in the east
and in Europe, and now makes his
professional headquarters in New
York. His address was along quite
different lines from the ordinary pi-
oneer day oration, and was most

BESTS
GRANTS PASS
GAME FRIDAY EVENING HOTLY
CONTESTED.
SCORE Is TO 10 IN 9 INNINGS
Game Between Picked Team From
Ashland Sunday School League
and Picked Team From Grants
Pass Was a Good One.

The return game of baseball be-
tween the picked team from the Ash
land Sunday School League and that
from the Grants Pass League, which
was played last Friday afternoon on
the high school grounds, resulted in
a score of Is to 10, the home team
garnering the long end of the score.
This game is the second played be-
tween the two teams, the first taking
place in Grants Pass several weeks
ago, when the northern boys wal
loped the locals to the tune of s to 1.
The game had very small attend
ance considering the number of busi-
ness men and church people that
should have been on hand to help
and patronize an effort on the part
of the different churches to give the
young men and boys of the city clean
athletic sport, there being hardly 100
spectators to witness the trimming
our boys gave the visitors. There
were few particular stars in the
Ashland lineup, but probably none.
with the exception of the pitchers,
deserve more credit than Plymato,
the old reliable, in his fielding and
throwing to bases. Gravy was
there" all the time, and was only
rivaled by Dews with his heavy slug
ging. Dews scored three runs and
three hits in six times at bat, two of
his hits being doubles. The game
was called at 4:30 by "his umps''
and the battle began.
With Olin Douglas, a former Ash
land boy, performing the slab duties
for Grants Pass and Guiley twirling
for Ashland it looked as though the
fans might see battle royal, and so
it seemed for the first four innings.

and went out stealing, while Joel
and Chadburn grounded out Guiley
