pocket billiard tournament held at the

that has been registered by Purcell while

FORM making several difficult shots. At
the start OF the match Purcell showed
that he was out for a win. and gained a
decided advantage.
Eddie killeen. who is tied for first
place will have as his opponent tonight,
Carroll Machen. and this match should
prove one of the best. Killeen is the

Read the Election
Call For Yourself

Some persons opposed to the
springs contend that the proposed
charter amendment is so drawn that
the council can issue what bonds it
pleases, whenever it pleases. That
is entirely mistake.
The amendment reads, WHEN
AUTHORIZED BY A MAJORITY
VOTE OF THE PEOPLE" the council
shall issue bonds. Thus it will be
seen that NO BONDS OF ANY KIND
CAN BE ISSUED WITHOUT A VOTE
OF THE PEOPLE.
The new charter amendment is
proposed only to correct the present
charter, which is so contradictory
that no lawyer can determine what
it does provide. The eastern bond
attorneys will not approve our bonds
unless this change is made in the
charter. Unless the bonds are SO
approved they will not sell. If they
do not sell the springs project will
fail. The charter amendment is
proper and right and should be
adopted.

Boy Successful
At Horse Training

Lou Shook, a lad of II years OF
age, who resides in the Wagner
creek district, was in the city Satur-
day, having ridden his trained pony,
Mockle, up from his home. While
here he made his pony do many real
ly remarkable things. such as stand
ing on its launches, shake hands, etc.
The boy has trained the animal him
self and has certainly been success
full. He uses no saddle, but only a
blanket that is strapped on. When
he wishes to get on the horse. he
gives him a signal, whereupon the
animal puts its head down and the
boy crawls on top of it, Then the
pony lifts him up and shakes him
along his neck to the saddle.

Normal Schools Get

both normal schools The majority |
for the southern Oregon school in
Lane. county was 2,635, according to
the Morning Register, while the east
ern Oregon school got majority vote
of 2,329. The complete vote in Multi
nomah county gave 1858 majority
in our favor, according to the Oregon
Journal, and 1928 for the Weston
school. SO far as we have returns
at this time the heaviest vote regis
tered against the southern Oregon
normal was in Marion county-about
5,400 majority against-while in
Clackamas county they piled up
majority of about $500 against us.
A few counties like that and it only
shows what a big obstacle any fight
for better school conditions in Ore
gon has to overcome. 1t was not
Multnomah county, as some people
insist, that killed us, for we carried
Multnomah county in good shape.
The Oregon Journal advised the vot-
ers to vote yes" on our measure;
the Oregonian made no recommend
alton upon it, but made good state
ment concerning the question to be
voted and what was involved; the
Telegram was the only Portland pa
per which advised its readers TO vote
mo-" but they even admitted that
it was a good school when in opera
tion and made this recommendation
only the day before election. None
of them was fighting our measure
All these papers, however, were more
than friendly to our representative
Mr.. Sheldon, and numerous inter
views and other articles in favor oI
the school coming at a time wher
the papers had more news than they
could possibly print should make US
feel friendly to them. Few othel

Official Canvass
Requires Time

The official canvass by the county
election board will not be completed
until about Thursday, according to
a phone message from County Clerk
Gardner. He reports that the coun-
ty board was only about one-fourth
through. The tremendous length of
the ballot an dthe increased number
of votes by reason Of suffrage being
extended to the women made the
task unusual. Jackson county, the
fifth largest in the state in point of
voters, cast almost 5000 ballots.
These were not counted in many in
stances until late Wednesday night.
It was then necessary to take the
sealed ballot boxes to the county
clerks office. Mr. Gardner put a
large force to work making tally
sheets and compiling the returns
from the thirty-five precincts in the
county. Saturday mornign the long
hallway in the county building was
filled with ballot boxes, sealed and
locked. These must be opened and
the vote canvassed by the election
board and is no little task. When
compiled the tally sheets must BE
certified to the secretary Of state and
leanvassed again by the state cleo
ton board. The law requires that
the tally sheets be in the state sec

Ashlad higs-scnhoolers can well
sing We've got Klamath's goat"
after the overwhelming score of Sat
urday afternoon, when the local boys
took the klamath team to terrible
Cleaning" II to being the official
score of Saturdays game. A large
crowd was in attendance, the best
this season. The peoole are begin
ming to realize what interest there
is at a game in which the high school
is playing.
Straight football characterized the
whole game, only one forward pass
being attempted, and this was inter-
cepted by Lilly. This was one of the
most spectacular plays of the game,
as, after picking the ball from out
of the Klamath mans hand, he calm
ly made sixty yards for Ashland, with
the result a touchdown. This play
was made in the third quarter.
From the very first Ashland was in
the lead, and the score went up rap
idly. BY the end of the first quarter
the score stood 25 to 0, and by the
end of the half 35 to O. Lilly and
Bob Spencer were still the old stand
bys of the team, and Dewsy, Gravy
Mayfield and Delsman butted through
the opposing line with their usua
vim. However, as before, no mar
really outshone the others, and the
team is peculiarly well balanced.
Noel did not make himself conspic
uous as he did at Klamath Falls
Claude Hill made the only really no
ticeable run. and he was nailed b!
Spencer before he had gone far.
The whole game, while it was
walk-away for Ashland, was one tha
aroused deep interest among tn
spectators. 1t merely whetted thei
appetites for more, and got then
looking forward to the real test o
the season, the game next Saturda
with Medford high.
A preliminary game was played be
tween the east and west schools, re
sulting in a victory of Z to i
favor of the east school. The team
were we'll matched and all the play
ers were real scrappers.
