did not grapple with the vice ques-
tion, the scum of the foreigners who
were already buying tickets on the
installment plan would overrun Ore
gon, and it was in our hands to de-
eide If this should be done. DR.. Par
sons took the platform Just long
enough to say he should like to have
a hand in the scrap whether they
should or not.
Colonel Balm, the most gifted or
ator of his age in America, then took
the platform. He stated it was a
happy day for him-happy because
he had been presented with the most
beautiful bouquets of roses he had
ever seen and which, by the way, was
through Mrs. Greenwood, flower su-
perlntendent. He also was happy be-
cause he had received word that all
was well at home, and he was now a
great-granfather. And then this
young old man kept his audience
spellbound with the pictures he paint
ed-pathetic or amusing. He plead
for the young man to be true to the
dearest on earth, the one who never
would forsake him from cradle to
grave, his mother, and that he do
nothing that would tear the heart
strings asunder and blight her life.
He closed with an eloquent appeal
for parents to live up to their duty.
Following Immediately was a de-
lightful reception which hundreds of
people attended. This was mainly
in the hands of Mrs. Hathaway and
the vice-president, while dainty
daughters of Ashland fitted hither
and thither among the guests. A
pretty incident was where little Theta
Slingerland presented Colonel Balm a
lovely bouquet after his speech, and
he blessed the little one in heartfelt
! tones.

1. W. W. ARRESTED.
Agitators Are Jailed in Portland for
Obscenity.

Portland, July 9.-Three agitators
were arrested today at the cannery
of the Oregon Packing Company,
where a strike of women packers was
in progress. The arrested are Miss
Mary Schwab, Rudolph Schwab and
Henry Scoen, charged with disorderly
conduct.
The police declare they were us
ing incendiary and obscene language
against the women who refused TO
join the strike. Following the ar
rests a committee declaring them
selves representatives of the socialist
party visited Police Chief Clark and
notified him that the arrests were
considered an infringement of the
right of free speech and would be
fought.
Crowds of strike sympathizers have
thronged the streets surrounding the
cannery, but Mayor Albee instructed
the police to make no arrests unless
there was incendiary or obscene Ian
guage.

. RESIDENCE BURNED.
Monroe Residence Totally Destroyed
Tuesday.

The residence owned by F. A. Mon
roe of Corning, Cal, situated at the
corner of Ashland and Leonard
streets, was totally destroyed by fire
Tuesday afternoon. The cause OF
the fire is unknown, though it is
thought probable that it may have
resulted from a defective flue, there
having, however, been no fire in the
stove for some hours. The fact that
the electric lights were not connected
disposes of the theory that the cause
was defective wiring.
The company responded to the
alarm as promptly as possible, but
the run of a mile uphill showed
again the need of the auto truck re-
Gently ordered. 1t is reported also
that the fire plug up there would not
fit the hose couplings, the attach
ment thereto having evidently been
removed therefrom.
There was $500 insurance on the
building carried in the Billings
agency, but none, so far as can be
learned, carried by Mrs. Mabel Bush
nell, who occupied the house. She
lost all her household effects. AS
she has several young children to
support the blow comes as a heavy
one.

CHAUTAUQUA NOTES.

Mr.. and Mrs. George j. Fox of
Grants Pass are spending the week
with Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Burdic and
taking in the ChautauQua.
The F. o. G. club girls have a tent
in the grove during Chautauqua.
The Sunshine Society is maintain
ing a rest tent in the Chautauqua
grove during the assembly.
The classes under Professor Lari-
more are enjoying the athletic work
very much.
Owing to the loss of many of his
most valuable pets, because of the
heat in the middle west, it will be
impossible for Professor Pamahaka
to appear at the Chautauqua Satur-
day evening. His place will be taken
by the Stevens Musical Company OF
Chicago, one of the best organiza-
tions appearing on Chautauqua plat
forms this year.
The free lecture by Colonel George
w. Balm at II o'clock Friday will
be a great treat which is free to all
regardless of whether or not they
hold Chautauqua tickets. All are in
vited to be present.

WOULD PROCESS FRUITS FOR 1915 EXPOSITION
Jackson County Business Men Favor County Appropriation
Have Them Prepared for San Francisco Show

Medford and Ashland boosters for
Jackson county exhibit at the Pan
ama-Pacific Exposition at San Fran
ci.co in 1915 favor the proposition Of
having large display of processed
fruits and the county court has con-
ferred with H. o. Frohbach of Ash
land in regard to preparing such an
exhibit when decision as to same is
finally made.
The move for a county exhibit was
launched last Tuesday when George
Boos, exposition commissioner, cir
culated a petition calling upon the
county court to take the initiative in
appropriating and setting aside mon
eys available for publicity and exhibit
purposes, for a Jackson county eX-
hibit at the exposition. Under late
state act, each county is authorized
to levy certain amount for public
ity purposes and Mr.. Boos believes
that part of this fund should be con-
served for splendid exhibit of jack
son county's resources-agricult
horticultural, mineral, live stock, etc.
A similar paper was circulated in
Ashland and other towns in Jackson
county. The county court took the
matter up Saturday and again Mon
day-favoring the proposition and
Mr.. Frohbach's suggestion as part of
it-but deferred action till later ow-
ing to the fact that on Saturday
commission was appointed which is to
handle all exhibits of the state at the
exposition. The Jackson county court
wishes first to learn the plans OF the
commission and what consideration
Southern Oregon will receive at it's
hands.
At the meeting of the county court
Mr.. Frohbach urged that the court
take early action as the fruit this
year is exceptionally fine and he is
in position to do the work cheaper
than he will be hereafter. Professor
O'Gara in letter to Mr.. Frohbach
states that the maturing crop will be
we'll adapted to preservation. Mr..
Boos strongly favors the plan and has
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1913-07-10

secured over 100 names of the most
public spirited professional and busi-
ness men of Medford endorsing it.
The new state commission consists
of r. A. Booth of Eugene, C. L..
Hawley of Polk county, w. Lair
Thompson of Lakeview, o. M. Clark
and John F. Logan of Portland. They
were appointed by committee
named at the last session of the leg
islature consisting of Governor West,
Secretary Olcott, Treasurer Kay,
Speaker Macarthur and Dan Malarkey
president of the senate. The COM
missions work will be to expend the
$4,000 appropriated to show up
Oregon at the exposition. They han
die everything from first to last
building, exhibits, employees, etc.
They serve without salary.
Attorney w. ]. Moore of Ashland
and many others in this region were
well acquainted with Albert Hemin-
ger, former marshal of Lakeview,
whose body was picked up on the
Southern Pacific right-of-way near
Doris recently. The coroner's jury
decided that death was due to falling
between cars in going from one to
the other. Attorney Moore tells an
interesting story of how Heminger
was marshal at Lakeview when a
mob held him up and took away a
murderer named Thompson and
lynched him. The affair unnerved
Heminger and he disappeared, being
found wandering in the hills. He
was sent to Salem where cure was
effected. He afterwards left for
Klondyke and was on his return trip
when he met disaster. He had on
him the sum of $2,040, which had
disappeared when his effects were
searched at the klamath Falls hos
pital.

WATCH FOREST BURN
Women and Children in Mill Valley
Gather in TerrOrized Groups
Watching Flames.

San Francisco, July 9.-Women
and children in Mill Valley are stand
ing in terrorized groups in the streets
tonight clutching the most precious
belongings and watching the ap-
proach down Blythedale canyon OF
the Mt. Tamalpais fire.
Husbands and fathers aided by
two thousand men from the army
and navy are battling to check the
flames. The fire was whipped to
action this afternoon by breezes from
the sea and ragged down the canyon
leaping the burned path of the back
fire until at 8 O'Clock it was reported
a mile and three-quarters from town.
The wind slackened tonight, which
gave small hope, but the dwellers in
the canyon were ordered to abandon
their homes.
The fire in Baltimore canyon was
also reported to have leaped the
trench dug to hold it. Eight hun
dred civilians are reported making a
desperate stand against this fire,
which threatened the towns of Corte
MADEIRA and Larkspur.
An entirely different fire has start
ed down the Redwood canyon, ap-
preaching the Muir forest of Sc
quotas. Cottages around the Muir
woods are burning. ".oS

w. c. T. IT,, told of the work of that
organization and invited the public

work. She declared Ashland the pret-
tiest city on the Pacific coast. She
also expressed belief that the fact
that women now had the ballot

problems which the giving of the ball
lot had placed before women and
would give them special attention.

Last Spray Has Been Ordered by
O'Gara.

Medford Mail Tribune: Spray en-
gines are buzzing, spray dope is
shooting over the green fruit, codling
worms are giving their last gasp, for
Prof. P. j. O'Gara has spoken the
word and the orchardists have crawl
ed into their spraying clothes, put on
their automobile goggles and are
manning the nozzles.
Professor O'Gara had bunch of
codling-moth cocoons that he kept
under the same conditions that are
in the orchard where the moth sleeps
snugly under the bark Several days
ago he saw the first moths of the
second brood begin to crawl out with
their wings wet and sticky. He
knew then that the time for the third
spray had come and in a few days
the main body of the second brood
would be out and laying eggs.
Several of the growers put their
spray on the first few days in July,
as he directed, and are now nearly
done. Others are just starting, but
if the spray is on the trees by the
middle of July the worms will be
squelched.
In many cases, especially for pears,
this is the last spray of the year.
Many growers with clean fruit will
not even apply this spray to their
pears.
The pears are exceptionally large
this year and splendid grade of
fruit is assured

TROUBLE in BALKANS
Conflicting Reports Make Ii ImpOssi-
bic to Get Truth as to Con-
flict Now Raging.

London, July 9.-Out of a welter
of conflicting stories from the Bal
kans it is almost impossible to sift
the truth. This was markedly illus
trated tonight by a dispatch from
the Daily Telegraph correspondent at
Uskup reporting there had been
hardly any fighting the last few days.
while Belgrade dispatches reported
further Servian victory and that ALI
the Bulgarians who invaded Servi&
had been driven back.
There seems little doubt that Gen-
eral lvanoff's army is steadily retir-
ing before the victorious Greeks. 1t
is reported the Bulgarians have evac-
uated Kavala, where the Greek fleet
is operating, and at Dedeagath.
1t is unknown whether the Vienna
report that Bulgaria has applied to
the powers to arrange peace is true.
but 1t appears likely, since things are
not going well with the Bulgarians
and the outbreak of cholera at many
points in the field and the exhaus-
tion of the armies is calculated to
make such a solution welcome.
The Greek government made ur-
gent representations to the European
governments against massacres al
legged to have been committed by the
Bulgarian irregulars. A Greek of
ficial statement asserts that instead
of $4,000, as$Pulgaria alleged. IVAN
offs army consisted of 10000.
