TrampS Handled
In Large Numbers

From twenty-five to thirty-five
tramps are handled every day by the
police, is the report of Chief Porter
this week. This is the actual num-
Der that get into the hands of the
officers, very few getting by without
being seen. Since the first of the
year 6,224 OF these gentlemen of the
road have been handled by the po-
lice. When we stop to think that if
these men had all been desirable cit
liens and had made their home in
Ashland we would be a city of some
fourteen or fifteen thousand, We can
see the work that is being done by
the police. If this class of men were
not watched about half of them
would take a share of the city with
them as they went by, and we would
soon notice the difference from our
clothes line and chicken yard, which
would put on a rather deserted look
in a short time.

Confusion of Names
With Ashland Man

The name Of w. Newell Wright of
Ashland was the central figure in a
story of wild night life escapades
with festive female companion in
Oakland, California. leaving a trail
of hotel bills, chauffeur fees, ETC., un-
paid and several bad checks along
the route. Several aliases were used
by the giddy man. but suitcase left
by him at his hotel contained an old
suit of clothes stamped with the name
of w. Newell Wright, Ashland, One,
hat purchased in Medford and a
shirt from Eugene. The Medford pa
pers in recopying the story added the
information that Wright was the
ticket agent of the Southern Pacific
at Ashland. Mr.. Wright has been on
duty in Ashland every day and has
not been in Oakland for three years.
He is unable to account for the man
using his name as he has not lost any
old pants. The best theory he can
reason out is that the party passed
through Ashland and got his name as
ticket agent and wrote it into the old
pants.

Candidate Neutral
On Prohibition

The state chairmen of the repupli-
can, democratic and progressive par
ties have agreed that the parties will
remain neutral on the statewide
amendment fight and carry out the
wishes of the people If the state goes
dry. The principal candidates of
these parties have also agreed to the
proposition to keep neutral as be-
tween the parties. This insures a
strictly non-partisan fight on the
plain issues unhampered by other po-
litical entanglements.
The so-called "out to win" move
ment has no connection with the dry
statewide campaign. "odt to win"'is
merely the slogan under which the
prohibition party is trying to get
votes for its ticket. Everybody can
vote for the amendment and vote for
whatever candidate they choose on
any old ticket. r0"H. 81"

Preparations Bond
Sale by City

At the council meeting Tuesday
night Recorder Gillette was instruct
ed to have the blank bonds litho-
graphed so they would be ready to
deliver on short notice.
The committee appointed by the
council to negotiate the auxiliary
water bonds was authorized to pre-
pare the transcript of hecord and
submit it for approval by recog-
nized bond attorney so the matter
of the legality of the issue and all
other details connected With the
transfer of the bonds could be
threshed out while market was be-
ing sought. The springs commission
explained to the council that time
should be expedited so the work
could begin before the wet season set
in, as much cement work would be
needed and the dangers from mois-
ture would necessitate a higher cost
for construction. There now appears
no doubt but that seventy-five thou
sand dollars of the issue can be sold
to valley investors, and If that much
is taken by local people the other
one hundred thousand can be sold to
private investors abroad. 1t is
hoped by this means to float the
per cent issue at par and accrued in
terest without waste.

Scenic Drive
Long Way Off

The city is about ready to enter
into an agreement with property own
ers, along Glenview Drive, whereby
they will place in escrow the neces-
sary deeds for right of way-their
delivery contingent upon the city es-
tablishing the scenic drive within
two years. This refers to that por-
ton of the drive to be constructed
on the east side of the canyon.
The city council has appointed a
special committee to consider the
matter of extending the scenic road
across the canyon near the lower in
take and along the hills on the west
side-following the level, approXi-
mately, of the old Anderson ditch
Councimen Cunningham and Ash
craft are especially favorable to this
extension and the council and citizens
as whole realize it's advantages in
the matter OF exhibiting the attrac-
tions of the canyon and the city and
the valley. 1t would join the Pope
Bailey road and enable the sightseer
to obtain a splendid view of the val
ley as far as Medford.
The council at its Tuesday night
meeting appointed as the committee
to consider this improvement the
chairmen of the street and water
committees, the chairman of the park
board and the city engineer. The lat
ter is authorized to run the necessary
lines etc. The committee will also
solicit the rights of way with view
to ascertaining If the property owners
affected want the road.

Government to Develop American :
Scenery to Keep Tourists Money

for scenery. And it might as well
be expended at home, when the home
product is so much superior to the
European variety.
"The beauty of this is that when
we have the four million dollars
worth of scenery to our own people,
we still have the four million worth
to sell next year.
"The national parks are purely for
the use of the people. In administer
ing them the government is only sell
ing scenery. And they ought to be
administered like any other quasi
public service organization. What
the parks need are to be made acces-
sible and able to care for people
when they do go there"
Mr.. Daniels plan of action con.
templates a bureau of national parks
which shall have charge of all the
parks. Under the head of that bu
reau will be persons having in charge
transportation, concessions and ad
vertising.
The plan will be presented to con
gress at it's next session,

Spraying for
Cooling Moth

Prof. Henderson, the new Jackson
county pathologist, says that accord
ing to breeding reports by Prof. Rel
mer Of the local experiment station
during the present reason, the second
application of spray for codling moth
should begin Immediately. Apples
infested with larvae from the first
brood were collected and kept in
screened cages. The first moths
from these appeared July twelfth and
six days later began laying eggs. The
first worms" from these eggs were
due to appear about July twenty
fifth. The best spray Is arsenate of
lead at the rate Of four pounds to
100 gallons of water. II should be
applied as very fine mist.

Popularity OF the Eastman.

The popularity of the Eastman
Kodak line is SO great that It is esti-
mated that there are fifty dealers
handling 1t to one handling the next
most used line.
While in San Francisco recently /
hunted the length of Market street
from the Ferry to Sixteenth street,
thence along Fillmore to the exposi-
tion entrance, and found but two
dealers in other lines. Having been
informed that all competitive deal
ers wished they had the Eastman
line, because it sells better and Is
better, entered n shop near the end
of Fillmore and in conversation
found that he, too, preferred the
Eastman goods.
There is no Kodak but the East
man. Make no mistake. Buy the
big line, the main line, the best line
the Eastman.

No Hope Held Out for
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson

Washington, Aug. 6.--Mrs. Wood
row Wilson, wife of the president OF
the United States, lies at the point
of death.
Four months of almost unbroken
illness, a complication of nervous all
ments and Brights disease, have
sapped the vitality of the first lady
of the land. The end is regarded as
a matter Of days, perhaps hours. Her
three daughters are at her bedside
and relatives have been summoned.
Physicians have been in consultation
for days, but it was admitted at the
White House that hope for her recov-
cry has almost vanished. Mrs. Will
son has been cheerful and has called
constantly for her husband. Eve y
moment that could be spared from
urgent official duties has been devot-
ed by the president to his wife. At
the side of his constant helpmate and
adviser he wrote the tender of good
offices appealing to the European
mona. chs to stay their conflict. From
the sick room he has been giving di-
rections to the various department
heads for the relief OF thousands of
Americans stranded abroad.
Day and night the family has
watched auXiously over her for the
past days. Yesterday her pulse
stopped beating for a few moments.
Oxygen and other restoratives were
applied. Early today she seemed
somewhat better, but later grew
worse.
The president, always most sensi-
tive about exaggerated reports about
members of his family, authorized no
official announcement about Mrs.
Wilson's health. He had hoped that
she might yet recover. Today, how
ever, there was a change. White
House officials acknowledged the
gravity Of the patients condition and
revealed that while they were hoping
against hope, the end was dangerous
! ly near.
The strain Of her duties as mis-
tress of the White House and her
own untiring efforts to help many an
unknown befriendless person who
has appealed to her, are said to be
directly responsible FOR her break
down. Mrs. Wilson received many
delegations which her husband was
too busy to see. Her mail is volumi-
nous and she has insisted on attend
ing in person to many appeals for

Mark Daniels, general superin-
tendent and landscape engineer of
the national parks, was the guest of
Ashland yesterday. He was making
an inspection of the national parks in
the west, having returned from Cra-
ter Lake Tuesday night. He was
mercial Club at the Hotel Oregon,
where about a dozen of Ashland
boosters met him and discussed the
needs of southern Oregon along
scenic development lines. Mr.. Dan
iels is going to devise a plan of or
ganization for the parks so that the
individual needs of each will be con-
sidered instead Of all western parks
getting into a development hodge
podge with no particular design for
any. He left for Glacier Park on
the Shasta limited last night.
Mr.. Daniels said it is only a ques-
tion of time until Crater Lake will
be visited by as many tourists as
Glacier and Yosemite parks.
1T is rapidly gaining the rating
Of these parks" said Mr.. Daniels.
Il was much impressed by the way
in which the park is kept and am
satisfied that as soon as tourists are
informed as to the most beautiful
spot on the coast the travel to Crater
Lake will be materially increased" "
Mr.. Daniels stated that tourists
are the forerunners of settlers. He
sincerely believes Crater Lake is de-
signed to be one of the most widely
known scenic wonders in the west.
Il have cut the goods and am max
ing the rounds to try them on the
various parks" said Mr.. Daniels by
way of explanation OF his visit here
THE administrative plans for the
parks have been worked out and
am looking over the ground to see il
the plans are practical. The nation
al parks cannot be administered from
a desk at Washington. They must be
administered on the ground.
Europe is selling to the United
States every year six and a half mil
lion dollars worth of scenery in the
way of American tourists who &

help that came to her. She has been
pa ticularly active since coming to
Washington in lettering conditions
in the slums and securing an i'm
provement in alley conditions.
Throughout the administration Of
her husband she has taken the same
keen interest in his work as she did
in previous years when he was gov
ernor of New Jersey and president
of Princeton.
The press of domestic legislation,
the European war and the Mexican
situation and the furry over finan-
cial conditions throughout the coun-
try have weighed heavily on the
president as he has maintained his
day and ni5ht vigil.
The relapse came last week, and
since then she has been sinking rap
idly. Only members of the family
were admitted to tho sick room. She
had lost in weight until her tnin
form is reduced to a shadow.
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the
presidents cousin, who has been liv-
ing in the Wilson household for the
past two years and has been devot-
ing her time as personal secretary to
Mrs. Wilson, also broke down recent
ly and is very sick at present, though
not gravely. She, too, is suffering
from nervousness and the inner
White House for weeks has held q
story of heartfelt grief for the presi-
dent of the United States and his
daughters.
Mrs. w. G. McAdOo, youngest
daughter of the president, has been
in the city constantly and has been
at the White House daily. Mrs.
Francis Bowes Sayre, second daugh-
ter, and husband arrived today from
Cornish, N. H., and Miss Margaret
Wilson, the eldest daughter, arrived
few weeks ago.
DR.. Cary T. Grayson, the presi-
dents physician and naval aide, has
been in almost constant attendance
upon Mrs. Wilson and has been in
frequent consultation with DR.. r. NJ.

ment:
"The second corps of the German
army made an advance attack over

Dutch frontier. The victorious Bel
gian troops did not follow up their
success into Dutch territory.
"The forts at Evegnee were en-
gagged with German artillery all day
but the Germans made little impress

casualties in the forts"

Brussels, via Paris, Aug. 7.-Sev-
eral thousand dead and wounded is
the toll paid by the German army
OF the Meuse for its attack on Liege.
The Belgians made a heroic defense,
repulsing the Germans after heavy
and continuous fighting.
The fortified position of Liege had
to support on Wednesday the general
shock of the German attack. The
Belgian forts resisted the advance
fiercely and did not suffer. One Bel
gian squadron attacked and drove
back six German squadrons.
One hundred wounded Germans
are being transferred to the city of
Liege, where they will be cared for.
Prior to the attack on Liege, Gen
eral Won Emmich, commanding the
German army of the Meuse, issued a
proclamation calling for an open
road through Belgium for the ad-
vance of the forces and suggesting
that prudence would show it to be
the duty of the Belgian people to ac-
cede to this, in order to avoid the
horrors of war.
The Germans committed repres-
sions against the civil population OF
the town of Wise, eight miles north
east of Liege, burning the city and
shooting many of the residents.
