TWO HELD TO
GRAND JURY
LEROY COPELAND AND WILLIAM
KELLER HELD FOR FORGERY.
COPELAND CLAIMS TO Be DUPE
COlored Gentleman Attempted to
Pass Check Which He Claims KeI-
Ter Gave Him at Weed-Waived
Examination.

Leroy COPELAND, colored, and Will
liam Keller (at least that is the
name he gave) are reposing in0Jack-
sonville Jail as result of trying to
pass a worthless check on L. f. Fer
guson Monday night. COPELAND APP
peared at the local postoffice Mon--
day and presented receipt for a
letter registered at Weed and ad-
dressed to himself. l.. d. Mckee,
assistant postmaster, demanded some
identification of the stranger and a
white man appeared with him and
claimed to have directed the letter
for COPELAND at Weed and at the re-
quest of Mr.. McKKee wrote the ad-
dress on a piece of paper. The writ
ing corresponded perfectly with that
upon the envelope and Mr.. Mckee
turned over the letter to Mr.. Cop
land. Later that parsonage appeared
at Ferguson's store and tried to pass
the check. Mr.. Ferguson finally
gave him So on the check and a re-
ceipt for the check, promising, if the
check was good, to pay the balance
of the $19.75 the next day. Later
the white man was rounded up by
the police and the colored man was
found locked in room in a Fourth
lstreet rooming house, where he claims
Keller locked him. Either COPELAND
is smooth duck or he was an easy
mark at the hands of Keller, who is
certainly bad one. Mr.. Mckee un-
hesitatingly identified Mr.. Keller as
the man who assisted in Identifying
COPELAND, and the envelope, letter
and check were turned over to Fer
guson by Mr.. COPELAND. Copeland
claims that he had the check sent to
Ashland by registered mail, at the
request of Keller, who he declares
was known to him by the name of
Boyd. That Keller or Boyd said that
it was not safe to carry it. The at
tempt at forgery was rather crude in
that a blank check was used, no at
tempt apparently having been made
to get hold of one of the Weed Lum-
ber Company's pay checks (the
check purporting to be in payment
for wages due). The letter accom-
panying the check was written Oh
the noteheads of the Hotel Weed.
COPELAND waived examination and
announced his intention of pleading
guilty before Judge Calkins and TAX
ing his sentence, claiming that he
was innocent of any attempt at
wrongdoing. Keller plead not guilty
and his preliminary hearing was
held before C. H. Gillette Tuesday
afternoon, Judge Kelly appearing for
the state in both cases. The men
were taken to Jacksonville Wednes-
day forenoon by Deputy Sheriff d. D.
Good.
A constable and one of the victims
of a recent forgery at Grants Pass
came up Tuesday and inspected Kel-
Ter and COPELAND but decided they
were not the men wanted there.

A new WEATHER MAN
G. G. Eubanks Succeeded BY Louis
Dodge as Observer.

Ashland will have a new local
weather man July /. G. G. Eubanks,
volunteer cooperative observer fol
the past three years, finds the work
too heavy for him and has resigned.
He recommended Louis Dodge for
the position and Mr.. Dodge has ac-
cepted, the change taking place the
first of next month. The station was
opened here 81 years ago, F. H. Car
ter being observer for over 27 years,
and being succeeded by Mr.. Eubanks.
There are probably few volunteer
stations in the United States where
two men have been in charge total
of over 80 years.

BACK FROM CALIFORNIA.
Auto Tourists Had Splendid Trip
Through California.

e. V. Carter, G. S. Butler, F. D.
Wagner and Floyd Dickey returned
home Monday night from their auto
mobile trip through California. Mr..
Carter, when seen by Tidings rep
resentatiye, stated that they had a
most excellent trip, but returned
home better satisfied than ever that
Ashland was the best place to live in
the United States. Some parts of
California showed evidences of pros
perity, he stated, but the San Joaquin
valley showed the effects of the
drought badly, while the country
around San Diego was badly hit by
the heavy freeze of January last.

PRECEDING A SUCCESS.
Loganberries Successfully Shipped to
Chicago After Cooling.

George King of Sebastopol, Cal,

King reports things prosperous in his
part of California. They have re-
Gently completed fruit preceding
station at Sebastopol, the first in the
state, and Mr.. King states that Lo-
ganberries which had been preceded

tion of the fruit-handling problem.

MARSHFIELD MADE l. W. ". KISS FLAG AND LEAVE
Six Hundred Business Men Participated in Demonstration Against
REASONABLE AgifatOrS Yesterday

That there are still communities
in Oregon where the love and respect
for "Old Glory" are vital elements
was shown by the action of the bust
ness men of Marshfield yesterday A
telegram to the Tidings editor from
F. E. Conway is as follows:
'Marshfield, Ore, June 25, 1913.
Just participated in a demonstra-
tion of six hundred business men of
Marshfield. They paraded through
town with the American flag, took
four l. w. w. across the bay in two
launches, waving the flag and sing
ing patriotic songs. We made them
salute and kiss the flag and put the
fear of God into them. They were
ordered never to visit Coos county
again. F. E. CONWAY"
An l.. w. w. who was in Ashland
few days ago made very slurring
and insulting remarks about the
Stars and Stripes and openly talked
treason to the government. Luckily
for him there were no Grand Army
veterans, Spanish War veterans or
Artillery boys around and he left
town before his talk was known up
town. Had they known of it there
would probably have been a similar
demonstration in this city. Ashland
is tolerant to all lines of thought but
she will draw the line at treason.

Fine Strawberries.

The Tidings acknowledges receipt
of fine box of Strawberries raised
on the four-acre ranch of s. e.
Peters, on the Boulevard. Mr.. Pc
ters has one-sixteenth acre planted to
Strawberries, consisting of 900 plants.
He has already picked SO crates from
these plants and will likely get ~
crates more this year. At this rate
one full acre, at the price received
for berries last year, would earn
$1,O5O. Not so bad for cash pro-
duction.

SAVER SOMEWHAT INJURED.
Hand Hurt While Working On
Well.

The Tidings is in receipt of a let
ter from Mrs. Walter ]. Savier, dated
at OXnard, Cal, May 81, giving ac-
count of a painful accident happen
ing to Mr.. SAVER there. Mr.. Savier
is engaged in drilling deep irrigation
wells. He had finished one AMI in
stalled new gasoline engine for
pumping. He poured a quantity OF
gasoline into the engine for printing
and attempted to spark it, 1t did
not ignite and he looked into it to
see what was the matter. Just as he
did so it ignited, painfully burning
his hands and face. While the acci-
dent was painful, no permanent bad
results are expected.

SHRINERS PLAN
LARGE DOINCS
PARADE SATURDAY WILL BE
SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.
FIFTEEN WILL TREAD HOT SANDS
Hillah Temple viii Set High Water
Mark at Its Coming Ceremonial
Next Saturday Afternoon and Even
ing.

Next Saturday Ashland will have
Rose Carnival and Fourth of July
and several Chautauqua attractions
all jammed into one when Hillah
Temple Ancient Order Mobiles of the
Mystic Shrine pulls off it's big cere-
monial with the new Armory as the
main tent.
The chief attraction, SO far as the
general public is concerned, will be
an airship flight-the first ever seen
in Ashland. Prof. Franz Mucken-
fuss, the noted German aviator and
Noble of Islam Temple at San Fran
cisco, has been engaged for the occa-
sion and will make his flight over
the city and surrounding hills from
the roof of the Elks' Temple-it be-
ing the tallest building in the city.
He will carry with him one passen-
ger-a prominent citizen of Ashland
and a we'll known member of the
Elks-who desires to become a
Shriner.
Among the numerous strenuous
events, devised to try. the mettle o.
the candidates, this particular candi-
date drew the hardest and most haz-
ardous. Several days ago he was
notified that he would be placed on
the roof of the Elks' Temple in prop
er robes for the ceremonial and that
it was up to him to get to the Arm
ory-with the one trap door in the
roof of the Elks' Temple locked on
the underside-in time to be made a
Shriner.
He took it as joke at first but
when assured it was up to him, he
was game. He promptly wired to
Prof. Muckenfuss and a favorable
reply was received yesterday. The
professor has been making similar
flights at Southern California resorts
where he was seen recently by
e. V. Carter and otherS-and he be-
lieves he can land his passenger safe
ly and on time. 1t will cost the can
didate $3.50 for a pretty short ride
but he declares he won't be stumped.
Probably no more unique Or daring
stunt was ever devised for Shriner
Ceremonial on the coast and the
event will be awaited with intense
interest by the public generally.
In addition to this novel stunt
the public will be privileged to en-
joy the customary Shriner parade
with its pomp and pageantry of I'm
perial Divan in robes of state, its
rabble of miserable novices, the drill
of the Arab Patrol, the music and
the decorations etc. Judging from
chance gleaRings the Record reporter
has gathered from various mobiles,
the public will have no kick coming
on what it is handed-even though
the main show is behind closed
doors.
The secret work of the order will
be put on at the Armory Saturday
night. There are fifteen candidates
on the anxious seat and their pill
grimage through the streets will be
a great treat to their Unlocking
friends. The parade will start from
the Armory at four o'clock-follow-
ing B Street to the depot, Fourth
Street to Main, Main to Laurel and
back to Oak, down which it will
march to the Armory.
The Ashland band will lead and
the Imperial Divan in gorgeous robes
will follow. The Shriners' Kazoo
band will come next-heading the
unregenerate sons of the desert who
yearn to tread the hot sands and

Missing an Opportunity.

In travelling over the line of the Missouri 6 North Arkansas Railroad one cannot fail to be impressed with the fact that the people in this section are missing one of their very best op- portunities in not raising more and better live stock, particularly cattle and hogs. Thousands upon thousands of acres of land lying along the line are bringing in no revenue, and are spleudidlg adapted to pasturage. In most sections wild grasses grow lux uFautly, and would offer feed for thous- auds of cutie, while nut and acorn bearing trees furnish each fall an abun- dant supply of mast" to feed almost innumerable herds of hogs. This, in connection with our abundant supply of pure water, mikes ideal pasturage con ditions.
 When one stps to think of the high price of beef ;ld pork, it does look as l if every farmr would grow every pos siBle ha8f of live stock This whole matter was recently brought forcibly to mind by te receipt of a letter at the Traffic department of the Missouri & North Aransas Railroad from MT. [ D. |. Bisbe, Vice President of the St. Louis NaionaI stock Yards. Mir. PishPp's lettr follows:
 q have hal live stock expert mak- l ing a canyas,f your line recently and thought possdy you would be interest ed in some c his comments.
 In speallin of the people in general along your lie, he says, 'these people are certainl dead to their opportuni- ties as far going into sheep, goat and COW boness is concerned. They certainly red some one to wake then up. It seas to me with the field that is open he for such development, the whole couay could be changed anC made protective. l have seen sopl thin soiI tt IS not much from an az rcaltural tandpoint, but grass anC good live ater for ten months in the year certaly affords inducement tc cover the hills with stock of some descriptid for it is all going to waste now.
 l have) doubt that you have no- tieed thiaad ponderad on this same condition Possibly you have already taken sts to try and overcome it. If so, ! pc the above observations will serqto further encourage you in youf unttaking.

Christmas is the Birthday of One Whc
 Never Gave the World a Dollar.

Christmas is the Birthday Of One Who
 Never Gave the World a Dollar.
 By Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle of New York.
 "It is worth remembering that Christmas is the birthday of Jesus, the Man who never gave the world a dollar He bestowed upon mankind not a solitary material gift. He carved no statute, painted no picture, wrote no poem, composed no song, fashioned no piece of iewelry, built no edifce, founded no city, erected no triumphal arch; but He stands in history as the great giver Silver and gold He had none, but such as He had He gave to men, the touch of a gentle haad, the golden glow of geniel mind, the heal Ing love of a generous heart, the brac- ing energy of a courageous spirit Paul calls Him Gods 'Unspeakable Gift The best thing God has to give us is not gold and silver, but Himself.
 ''It is when we give of the things of the spirit that we escape from the realm of embarrassments and burdens. Into spiritualized Christmas we every one can enter, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, the small and the great.
 "In preparing, then, our Christmas presents, let us get ready to give some of the things which Jesus gave. Along with the many gifts which have prices, let us give few which are priceless. Let us give thought to some one who needs it, praise to some one who de- serves 1t but does not get it, kindness to to someone whom the world has overlooked, affection to someone who is starving for it, inspiration to some one who is fainting because of ths lack of it. Ones Christmas does not on- sist in the abundance of the things which he receives or gives away, but in the spirit of good will which fills his heart.
