ONE AND oNE-THIRD FARE.
Shriners Get Special Rates to KIam-
ath Falls.

L. L. Multi, the committee of Hill
lah Temple charged with getting spec
ial railroad rates for the proposed
ceremonial at klamath Falls August
80, reports that the Southern Pa
cific has offered a rate of one and
one-third fare, or $3.50, for the
round trip from Ashland. If 25 tick
cts are sold the party will be given
a coach for their special use and a
baggage car for the transportation
of baggage and for use as a buffet
car. The trains so run that it is
almost compulsory to carry lunches
and it is planned to install temporary
tables in the baggage car. The priv
ileges of the special car are confined
to Shriners and their families, but
the special rate is available to all
who wish TO go. Full particulars
later.

STRIKE WILL NOT BE CALLED.
Conductors and Trainmen and Com
panies Agree to Arbitrate.

New York, July 29.-The threat
ened strike of $4,000 conductors and
other trainmen on the As eastern
roads for higher wages and improved
working conditions will not be called.
Articles of agreement to arbitrate
under the Newlands act, the ques-
tions at issue, were signed Friday
by the employees representatives and
the conference committee of the rail
road managers.
The agreement was not cached
until the managers had withdrawn
the proposal that their own griev-
ances against the men also should be
arbitrated. This claim, the managers
announced today, they had relin-
quished to protect the public from
tienp which the employees intended
to enforce if the railroads insist
on the point
Today's peaceful outcome of the
dispute was the result of the efforts
by the board of mediation and concil-
iation created by the fastened New
lands act. The board consisted of
William L. Chambers, Martin A.
Knapp and G. w. Hanger.
The only point gained by the rail
roads was the provision that the
award of the board of arbitration
to be later constituted of six mem
bers; shall take effect October l in
stead of May last, the date request
ed by the employees. The board re-
turned to Washington tonight to re-
port to President Wilson.

GOOD TIME FOR PRESIDENTS.
Monday and Tuesday Railroad Men
Were Plenty Here.

The open season for railroad pres
idents opened in Ashland a few days
before the open season for deer. On
Monday President Mohler of the
Union Pacific, with headquarters in
Omaha, passed through Ashland
bound for Portland and other north
western points. He was in the
Union Pacific official car No. 100.
On Tuesday morning T. M. Emer-
son, president of the Atlantic Coast
line, with headquarters at Whining
ton, N. c., and travelling in the Pull
man private car Federal, arrived in
Ashland on the southbound Shasta
limited, and the car was set out here
until the arrival of No. 13. Mr.. EN-
erson was accompanied by ]. R. Ken
ley, vice-president of the same road,
also of Wilmington. The party was
detained above the Isadora bridge,
near Oakland, which was burned Sun
day night, for about ~ hours. They
should have arrived on No. Is Mon
day afternoon. The party spent the
forenoon here very quietly, refusing
the offer of Agent Kramer of a trip
around town by auto, saying that
they stopped off to rest. Mr.. Emer-
son, however, expressed himself as
highly pleased with the beauty and
the water and air of Ashland. 1t was
his first trip west. Agent Kramer
and Secretary Seager of the CONNER
cial Club say that the party was well
supplied with Ashland literature.
D. w. Campbell, assistant general
superintendent of the S. P. lines,
with headquarters in Portland,
passed through Ashland on No. 16
Wednesday in his private car, x.
E. G. Long of Jacksonville, Fla.
one of the directors of the Georgia
Southern & Florida railway and of
the st. John River Terminal Com
pany, passed through Ashland We'd
nesday afternoon on No. 16, accom-
panied by Mrs. Long. Mr.. Long is
an old-time railroad and railroad
supply man and is finding many old
friends in his trip through the west.
Mr.. Long, in speaking of various rail
road men he had known, referred to
Finley j. Shepherd, the husband of
Helen Gould, as young man who
started at the foot of the ladder and
made good. He declared him as one
of the best and cleanest railroad men
in the service.

bad STORM IN NATIONAL CAPITAL
BUILDINGS DESTROYED, PEOPLE KILLED AND WHITE HOUSE CROINDS
BADLY DAMAGED BY FURIOUS STORM AT WASHINGTON

Washington, July 90.-A cyclonic
storm of wind, rain and hail whipped
back and forth across the national
capital today, leaving death and ruin
in its wake.
Three were killed, scores injured
and hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of property destroyed, accord
ing to hurried canvass made when
the city had aroused itself from half
an hour of helplessness in the grasp
Of the elements.
The storm came roaring from the
north out of a blazing sky under
which the city was sweltering with
the temperature at the 100 point,
driving mass of clouds that cast
total darkness over the town.
The gale reached a velocity of 76
miles an hour, swept the streets
clear, unroofed houses, tore detached
small structures from their founda-
tions, wrecked one office building,
overturned wagons and carriages in
the streets and swept Washington s
hundred parks, tearing branches

"EverywOman" is Most Elaborate
Production Yet.


Surprising in size and magnifi-
cence anything which has hitherto
been offered to the public in trav-
cling organization, Henry w. Saw
ages immense production of the dra-
matte spectacle, "Everywoman, I"
which will be seen at the Page Thea
tre, Medford, August l. stands alone
No other manager would have at
tempted to present with a travelling
organization a spectacle so massive
Not feature which was used in this
production during its two years run
in New York has been eliminated
In addition to the $50 people which
are required in the production and to
work the mechanical and electrical
effects, an entire symphony orches-
ira is carried by the company. The
music, which was composed by
George Whitefield Chadwick, dean of
the New England Conservatory of
Music, requires an intelligent and
careful rendering to bring out all it's
beauties, and only skilled musicians,
after weeks of strenuous rehearsals,
are competent to play it.
The organization is equipped with
three carloads of scenery and cos
tunes and electrical effects. 1t in
cludes grand opera and a musical
comedy chorus, in addition to the
large dramatic ensemble. Every
woman" is, in fact, a commingling
of the more attractive features of
opera, musical comedy and spectacle.
While it amuses and furnishes en-
tertainment which can be understood
and appreciated by anyone, it also
promulgates a moral lesson of ines
timable value. Mothers, on seeing
the play, have brought their daugh-
ters to it to impress upon them a
lesson they could not otherwise i'm
part. Clergymen of all creeds and
beliefs have found in it food for re-
Election and have endorsed it in most
emphatic terms. In London it met
as enthusiastic a reception as it did
in America. For the production in
Medford Mr.. Savage is sending his
most powerful company. 1t is head
ed by Adele Blood, who appears in
the title role, and brings to one of
the greatest roles ever written not
only superb beauty but a sure dra-
matte touch.

Held to Grand Jury.

Ralph Potter was held to the grand
jury Monday afternoon on statu-
tory charge, and is in Jacksonville
Jail in default of bail. The prelimi-
nary hearing was held behind closed
doors. Chief Porter says that the
stories afloat are all far from the
real facts. This is one of the cases
where the least said the better, as
promiscuous talk might tend to in
jure innocent people as well as de-
feat the ends of justice.

Chimney Falls in Express car
Here Monday.

n. c. Crofton, a Wells-Fargo eX-
press messenger, was quite seriously
injured at the depot Monday after
noon, when lamp chimney became
detached while men were putting wa
ter in the car tank and fell and
struck Mr.. Crofton on the hand, sew
erng an artery. Luckily DR.. Shearer,
the Southern Pacific surgeon at
Grants Pass, happened to be in the
depot at the time and he sewed up

FOR BIG GAME RESERVE
Chief Forester of United States
Planning Great Game Refuge
in SiskiyOus.

Grants Pass, July 29.-H. S.
Graves, chief forester of the United
States, stopped off in Grants Pass
Friday while en- route to California
from Portland
The Game Association went into
detail with the forester regarding
the establishment of a great game
refuge in the Siskiyou forest in which
elk and other species of large game
could be planted and protected. The
changing of the territory surround
ing the Marble Caves of Josephine
county from national monument to
national park was also discussed,
and plans were laid for taking action
to that end at the next session of
congress. Mr.. Graves approved the
making of the boundaries of the
game refuge and of the caves ma
tional park identical, and the crea-
ton of the dual purpose park will
nave INC dpplONdi anu SuppOII VI HIS
department.
The opening of several sections of
land in the Siskiyou forest to home
stead settlement was also taken up
with Mr.. Graves. In this connection
the forester said that it was his pol
icy to open to settlement every tract
of tillable land in the various re-
serves. and that the development of
the resources within the forests
would at all times be approved by
him. He advocated the building of
homes, and especially the establish
ment of communities within the for
ests, and said that his department
would cooperate to the fullest ex-
tent with the settlers within the for
ests and those located near their
borders. This system, he said, would
best protect the forests, creating
fire patrol that would prove most
effective in guarding against fire
losses.
Il approve the sale of the stand
ing timber within the forests" said
Mr.. Graves, "but l much prefer to
see ten sales made of small tracts
rather than one sale of a great body
of the timber The benefits from
these sales must accrue to the gen.
eral public, and sale of this timber
at present prices to be held on the
stump for years for the advance in
price will not be approved"

A Sad Tale Soon Told.

The picked church team at Grants
Pass did not do a thing to the Ash
land team last evening at that place.
The score stood to in favor of
the home team. Those present from
Ashland, however, state that the
game was much more interesting and
equal than the score would indicate.
A goodly number went from here to
Grants Pass to see the game A re-
turn game is promised, when the
Ashland boys promise to turn the ta-
bles.

TRAIN SAVED
BY A TRAMP
SAW BURNING BRIDGE AND
STOPPED TRAIN IN TINE.
The TRAINMEN DOUBTED STORY
Passengers on Shasta Limited Tell
of Discovery of Burning Bridge by
! Hobo Who Stopped Train-Report-
ed Company Will Reward Him.

The Shasta Limited, due in Ash
land from the north at 5:55 Monday
morning, did not reach Ashland un-
til 5:14 Monday evening, and then
1t was not the train which left Port
land. When it reached the vicinity
of Oakland, Ore, the engineer was
startled by the sight of small fire
of brush between the rails in front
of the engine and by the figure of
man frantically trying to halt the
train. The train was brought to a
standstill and the crew found tramp
who told them that the bridge to
which they were coming had been
burned. Though they suspected that
1t was a job put up by the tramp to
stop the train so he could get ride,
the train proceeded very cautiously,
and it was well they did so, as the
story was found to be true and a
100-foot span was found to be afire.
The tramp, according to the passen-
gers, is to be rewarded by the COM
pany There was no possibility of
repairing the bridge in a short time,
so the passengers and mail were
transferred around the burned struc-
ture and the trains turned. The pas
sengers on the southbound Shasta
Limited were brought south with the
equipment which went north that
morning, early, and the same was
done with the passengers on all 9TH
er trains Monday.

The Rocks and tho seaqulI..

A Dover correspondent reports a Gu
rious incident which was witnessed at
farm at Elms Vale. on the confines
OF the borough. A flock of seagulls fiy-
ing inland had taken possession Of
newly sown field and were pecking
away. when a still more numerous
flock of rocks swooped down and at
tackled the gulls. The rocks. being
about two to each gull, tapped and
rushed the gulls until they withdrew
to field some distance off. The vic
torious rocks then proceeded to enjoy
themselves In the field. having first set
what were apparently sentries along
the side Of the field 1t was amusing
to watch these sentries hustling away
any gull which strayed too near. Il
has been noted by naturalists that this
setting of sentries is in accordance
with the habits Of rooks.-London BY
