who sentenced a negro to thirty

An Idiotic Amendment.

The eight-hour law, Nos. 800 and
321, upon which the people are to
vote in November, is a classic exam
pie of half-baked initiation.
According to the provisions of this
extraordinary measure, no rancher in
the Rogue River Valley could hire
a picking crew, or packing crew, or
harvesting crew for more than eight
consecutive hours in the twenty-four.
If work should start at Z a. M,
for example, it would have to stop at
A p. M, with an hour for lunch and
rest" No extra time, even at double
pay, is allowed, except in case of acci-
dent, breakdown, fire, flood or
storm.
The domestic assistant who arises
at 6 a. m. to prepare the family
breakfast would be forced to fold her
hands at 8 p. m, or go on a joy ride,
to save the mistress of the house from
the punishment of fine of mot less
than $100 nor more than $1,000, or
not less than thirty days nor more
than one year in Jail, or both"
The passage of this law would put
every rancher in southern Oregon out
of business, disrupt the internal man.
agement of hundreds of homes, and
make Oregon the laughing stock OF
the entire country.
Only the miscnlevous or feeble.
minded could be expected to mark
this amendment anything but 321

News Of the
Klamath Team

That the football team of the local
high school may have a team to play
against for practice before its regular
schedule of games with outside
schools begins, the boys of the alumni
of the school are planning formation
of a team, says the klamath Falls
Northwestern. A call has been issued
to every male member of the alumni
living in or near Klamath Falls to be
at Modoc Park next Sunday morning
at 10 o'clock prepared to enjoy the
first practice.
Owing to the isolated location of
klamath Falls the football team rep
resenting the school has no chance
for practice against another team be-
fore the real games of the season
commence. AS is the custom in near
ly all prominent schools, the alumni
boys are planning to come to the res
cue and help those who now play for
their alma mater to experience some
good hard games in preparation for
the opening struggle with another
school.
Not all the alumni boys now living
in and near Klamath Falls won a
tx" in football when attending
klamath high school, but nearly all
had some experience at the great col
lege game. Those who will turn out
for the team are Rinehart Motschen-
bacher, Clarence Motschenbacher
Forrest Peil, Virgil DeLap, Theodore
Case, William Hagelstein, Wilbur Tel
ford, Ralph Hurn, Will Hurn, Leon
Boiler, Glenn Garrett, Fritz Mark
wardt, Howard Boggs, Harry Mesner,
Earl Mccoy and possibly Louis Nc
Clure.
All fears that Klamath high might
not have a good football team this
season because of graduation of elev-
en- letter men last spring were dis
PEELED after the first practice of Ath-
letic Manager Observation-Disclosures pro-
teges Tuesday evening. Over twenty
men were on the field and all are
Jealous for place on the eleven.
Although only four letter men, Keihl,
l.. Motschenbacher, Melhase and
Noel, are in the squad, several new
men have the weight and the form
for good players. Jacob Stieger, a
freshman from Wisconsin, shows up
we'll in practice, as does Gus Page,
from Fort klamath, Earl Everett
Bill Mcmillan, slim" Graves, Ira
Orem, Lawrence Sanderson and other
recruits.

News Of the
Fruit Market

The local fruit association is now
shipping much fruit and vegetables
grown in the vicinity of Ashland.
Most of these go out by express as
shipments of this nature cannot be
held long enough to make up car
load. Many peaches were also sent
in the same way. Three carloads
were made up at one time, however,
and shipped. Fruit so far has been
bringing fair price. The average
at present is about $50 boxes a day.
Much celery, tomatoes and other veg
etables are being sent. Parcel post
is serving many of the growers we'll
this year. A. c. Joy has made good
use of this, shipping hundreds of box
es in this manner to all points in the
west.
The coming apple crop will be quite
large, but the fruit will not as an
average be as large as usual, on ac-
count of the extreme dry weather ex-
perienced this summer. THE apple
market is in the air at present, "
states A. c. Briggs, "and nothing can
be predicted as to prices"

Lodge Men Gather
On Thursday oath

Thursday of this week will be cele-
brated by a conclave of the Knights
Templar and Mobiles of the Mystic
Shrine from all over the state. They
will give a big street parade and ex-
pose their trembling candidates to the

gorgeous robes have been ordered for
the occasion, and the parade will be
a snowy affair.
The evening of the 23rd both gen
tlemen and ladies will be entertained
by a reception and banquet in the
Masonic hall. On the oath the big
concave and ceremonial will be held.
In the evening while the men are fin
ishing up their business the ladies
will attend the Vining, returning to
the Masonic hall, where a big BAN
quet will be in waiting. All Shrin-
ers and Templars are looking forward
to this event.
This is to be big week for Ash
land people as both lodge gathering

Army Lieutenant
Coaches Football

Many will remember Thomas w.
Hammond, a former Ashland boy, son
of A. P. Hammond, deceased, who
was postmaster here for three success
sive terms. tom" is now first lieu
tenant of Company H, Sixth Regi-
ment U. S. Infantry, which has re-
Gently been doing guard duty on the
Mexican border. He has just been
detailed to coach the army football
squad at the National Military Acad-
emy, preliminary to the big game be-
tween the army and navy teams later
in the season. Undoubtedly he has
been called upon to do this by virtue
of a reputation as being an all-around
athlete, gained during his cadetship
days. He graduated from West Point
in 1905, and for two years was in
structor in mathematics at that insti-
tuition. Since receiving his commits
sion he has seen service in Alaska,
and has also been stationed at the
Preside, San Francisco, and at other
military posts up and down the coast.
His regiment is under waiting orders
to proceed to the Philippines early in
December. Lieutenant Hammond is
a brother of Mrs. j. H. Turner of this
city, residing at SO Union street. He
paid Ashland visit two years ago.

Camping Sites in
National Forest

Did you know that you could rent,
at nominal fee per annuIn, half an
acre of ground within the national
forest of Ashland or Wagner Butte
for a summer home and live there
indefinitely?
According to the National Forest
Manual, "the fullest use Of the ma
tional forest lands and resources is
desired and encouraged" Few peo-
pie realize what this means. So much
has been said of the commercial side
of the national forest resources, of
their worth to the nation as a busi-
ness proposition, that little heed has
been given to their value as peo-
pies playground. Where can one
find a more delightful recreation spot
than in the beautiful forest?
Many a Sylvan scene" within the
national forest boundary may be per-
manently enjoyed almost for the ask
ing. Go into the forest and pick out
your camping site along some stream
or by the side of some lake or in the
high mountains; then apply to the
nearest supervisor for a permit tp
use half an acre or so of land ON
which to establish your camp. If
your choice of a site does not inter-
fere with other forest uses or users,
he will grant it to you upon the pay
ment of the annual rental, which
rental runs from S. to $25, according
to the location and the size of the
camp site. Your permit is good in
definitely, the only requirement being
that you comply with forest service
regulations, chiefly in regard to sani-
tation and fire prevention.
Some few people have become wise
to the possibilities of national forest
camp sites and are already enjoying
their summer home.
There are scattered lots and some
surveyed tracts in other national for
ests of Washington and Oregon. In
fact, there are splendid opportunities
for summer camps in such localities
as klamath Lake, Oregon.
Several summer hotels have been
established within the forests, but
there is still room for many indi-
vidual camps or summer homes.

Gold Hill Gives
Fine Celebration

Conversation with those who at
tended the fair at Gold Hill Saturday
reveal the fact that the celebration
was success from the word go"
About twenty attended from Ashland.
A large number had planned on go
ing, but stayed at home on account
of the pouring rain here, not knowing
that it was clear and the sun shining
in Gold Hill. The weather there was
exceptionally fine for celebration.
Many stunts were pulled off, in
cluding a prize fight. Great piles of
salmon and salad were served to the
visitors.

A few years after the inception of

he had completely surrounded the

had it cut off from its base of supplies.
He had all the plays and the call on
all the actors.
From that moment Oliver Morosco
