leave their work and enjoy a good
time are urged to take the excursion
train there that day.

Mail Trains
Again Changed

Train 10, which arrives in Ashland
at 1885 in the morning, will now be
made a through mail train, carrying
mail direct to San Francisco. This
train has heretofore only been carry.
ing mail to Ashland from Portland
and then 1t stopped.
Train 10, or the one arriving at
4;5O in the afternoon, will now carry
no mail from here to Dunsmuir, all
mail stopping over at Ashland. For
merly this train carried mail clear on
through.
This new change will enable mail
addressed to klamath Falls to go
through in one day, where It other
wise took two, as it had to lay over
here during the day, and thereby
missing connections with the Klam-
ath-Weed branch.

1915 Pacific
Highway Travel

The September bulletin of the Pa
cific Highway Association makes
some interesting deductions regard
ing the travel possibilities over the
highway next season, says the Grants
Pass Courier. 1t says that every in
dication now justifies the estimate
that there will be 100000 motor We
hicles in the state of California dur
ing the exposition year. 1t is claimed
by many that one-tenth of the auto
mobiles would make the trip north
into Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia if the Pacific Highway was
built on proper grades and hard-sur-
faced Let us see what that would
mean to Oregon in one season. Over
a good road the average machine
would take two days for the trip from
southern Oregon to the Columbia
river. There is no other way out of
the state except to return by the Pa
cific Highway to California or ship
the car by freight. Where there is
a hard-surfaced road to travel no
cars are sent by freight. Four days
is the least possible average time an
auto could spend in Oregon. Auto
mobile tourists spend from $40 to
$40 daily while en- route. Taking an
average of SIS for the four days, the
average automobile passing through
Oregon in 1915 would leave sixty
dollars in the state. This is for ne
cessities alone. How much would be
spent while visiting the cities, the
beaches and the mountains can only
be wild guess.
Thus it is apparent that crop
amounting to several million dollars
might be gathered by the people of
Oregon IL they only make good
road for the tourist to travel on.
The United States consular reports
show that American tourists spend
each year from $4OO, 100000 to
$500,O00,0O0 in Europe. The war
will cut off this travel next year and
the pleasure seeker will come to the
west.

Ten Tons Sweets
Eaten by Girls

Co-eds at the University of Cali
fornia eat annually ton and a half
of chocolate candy purchased at the
college cooperative store, according
to report just given out by the
stores management.
Using the report as a basis for
figuring, student statisticians spent
Sunday in estimating the total
amount of candy from all sources con-
sumed by the co-eds. 1t was assumed
that for every pound bought at the
college store the girls eat nine pounds
purchased elsewhere or received as
presents. This gave ten tons in all,
costing SIS, 900, and a per capita con-
sumption of the 1000 co-eds of $3.50
worth.

antwerp, Sept. 14.-After four
days narrowing of two German army
CORPS which were trying to reach
General Won Kluck's forces in north
eastern France, Belgians are again
within the first line of the Antwerp
forts. The Germans, consisting of
landstrumers and ten thousand re-
serve sailors, outnumbered the Bel
gians two to one, but the latter, un-
der King Albert's personal leader
ship, attacked the kaiser's line of
communication so desperately they
nearly reached Brussels. The Ger
mans were finally reinforced and the
Belgians retired Sunday to reorganize
for fresh sally. The German losses
were enormous.

Enthusiasm Picnic
September 25tl

1t has been decided by the Com
mercial Club to assist the Normal
school committee hold a picnic at the
Normal school grounds on the after
noon of September %. The chief OBJ
1ect of this is to get up enthusiasm
IN the Normal school campaign issue.
1t is thought that a great deal of
good can be done and large mum
Der of people wakened up. A general
good time out-of-door entertainment
Will no doubt be a great benefit.
1t is well known by the committee
that the residents Of Belleview dis
trict have for some time been anxious
to join with Ashland citizens in some
sort of rally at the Normal school
grounds, with free refreshments. The
committee plans something about as
follows: First, picnic and melon
barbecue to be held on the grounds
on the afternoon of September 25,
from 2 to $3.50 o'clock; second, en-
tertainment and refreshment to be
provided.
The committees will be under the
following heads:
Entertainment-Will be expected
to provide a program that will in
their judgment be attractive to the
public generally, lasting from 2:30
to 4:30; something like novel ball
game, suffragette races, battle royal
between nations, calathumpian
speeches, etc, have been thought Of.
sportation-Provide transpor-
tation to and from the grounds.
Store Soliciting the busi-
ness houses to close for the occasion.
Ways and Means-This committee
is important-"Money makes the
mare 60" 1t is thought that an ad-
mission fee should be charged and
tickets sold in advance The price
to be not less than 25 cents.
The committee feels sure, as does
everybody else that. is interested in
the Normal school movement, half
the town would attend. Ashland
ought to turn out in a body and
spend one great. glorious afternoon
on the Normal campus. Those men
who have struggled with the problem
of regaining the Normal school this
year have sacrificed good deal, and
it consequently devolves upon the
people to show their appreciation by
turning out. Those appointed on the
committees are going to plan some
thing big; something that will not
cause minute to lag during the en-
tire afternoon.
The committee meets tonight at
the Commercial Club rooms to dis
cuss entertainment, etc, further.

Paris, Sept. 14.-The retreat of
the German forces before the allies
is becoming less rapid. The retiring
armies are beginning to resist the
pursuers more vigorously than here
tofore. 1t is considered plain that
the kaiser's general staff is attempt
ing reorganization of the campaign.
The Germans have continued to evac-
uate the extreme northern France
and northern Belgium but are con-
centrating in increasing numbers on
the eastern French frontier. Never
theless, it is the view here that the
worst of the German peril has
passed, although fighting continues.
