Cecil Townsend
Again Arrested

Cecil A. Townsend, who cut me-
teoric figure here as promoter
early in 1918, is in trouble at Port
land. The Journal says: "On pa
role from the Oregon penitentiary,
where he was sent from Ashland for
forgery, A. ]. Townsend, alias G. A.
Townsend, was arrested in Portland
last night by Detectives Swennes and
Maloney on information that he was
trying to defraud a local furniture
company with scheme to build a
sanitarium in Salem. He is held on
vagrancy charge until the State
Parole Board can be notified. 1t is
alleged that Townsend had ap-
preached a well-known Salem wom-
an, whose name is withheld by the

KaOlin Deposits
Being Developed

DR.. D. NJ. Brewer has been devot-
ing some of his leisure time of late
to the study of the development OF
some of our latest esources-alOng
medical lines. and he has reached a
stage in his work where ne expects
to be able to make public some an
nouncements shortly that will be a
surprise to many people even in our
own city,
The large deposits of kaolin lying
in this locality have received the
most of the Doctors attention and
especially that which is in a decom-
posed state. Decomposed kaolin is
known as medical clay and many
drugs and medicines have that as
one of their principal ingredients.
The first of Mr.. Brower's expert
ments was in the making of anti
phlogistine. Antiphlogistine is COM
posed chiefly of decomposed kaolin
to which is added certain proportions
of boric acid, glycerine, mythelsalyci-
| late and oil of peppermint. These
are given a certain treatment, chem
ically, and the result is antiphlo
gistine in its finest form. The doc
tor now. has specimens Of it at the
drug store on Fourth street which
he is showing to interested friends
Antiphlogistine is more commonl!
known as Denver mud" and is
preparation that is famous the worlt
overdue both to its actual curative
powers and the excellent work of thu
advertising done by its manufactur
ers. DR.. Brewer firmly believes tina
he can and will produce an article o
equal merit the ingredients bein
the same-but he also realizes tha
. It will take a systematic campaign o
: advertising and the expenditure @
much money to make his product a
. famous as Denver mud.

At the former election when the

validated
The feeling so prevalent before the
election, that so much opposition was
abroad concerning the bonds, was
wholly discredited. But the loyal

city, as well as the men, accounted
for the vote that was bigger thar

Capital Penalty
Is Abolished

The measure abolishing the death
penalty has carried by majority of
ninetysix. The news will doubtless
be gratifying to the several murder
ers now confined in the state peni-
tentiary at Salem. Governor West
had already postponed the hanging
of two of them in the belief that the
measure would either carry or that
the next legislature would at least
substitute electrocution. The re-
prieved men are John A. Pender con-
demned to hang Move ember twenty
eighth for the killing of Mrs. Daisy
Wehrman and child at st. Helens
and Lloyd wilkins condemned to
hang December twentynine for the
killing of Lou Winters at Portland.

relatives in Arkansas. Her home
town is located within about fifty
miles from Eureka Springs, which is
pushing to the front as national re-
sort. Her train passed through
Eureka Springs. Mayor Johnson and
herself have visited in this resort
town at previous times.
1t is situated at the foot of the
Black Hills, hills which are noted for
their unpicturesqueness and scrubby
oaks. A river runs through the
town. called the White river, on ac-
count of the white appearance caused
by being filled with sediment. Now
to arrive at the point; This town
several years ago was hardly on the
map, it was so small. Some one saw
| the advantages some of the springs
they possessed had. They developed
them, built beautiful buildings, pro-
moters built hotels, and in a few
years the city was a town of $4,000
inhabitants. Mayor Johnson says
that it is not nearly so favorably situ-
ated as Ashland, as it is located in a
region void of beauty, there are no
automobile roads-all roads being OF
the typical adobe and rock formation
and almost impossible at any time OF
the year for car owner who takes
care of his machine Trees are
scarce. The drinking water is warm
=, and insipid.
If town situated like this made
success, with comparatively little
a effort, what cannot Ashland, situated

bined and answering effort of every

A Texas Steer
PleaSeS AShlandeTS

A Texas Steer, that comedy woven
about the foibles of a western con-
gresham, was played at the Vining
Monday night. A fine crowd was in
attendance, as all the girls of the
Trinity Club had worked hard to get
the seats sold. The production was
worthy of troupe of professionals
in the finished way that the players
proceeded through their parts
The play opened with the stage
setting picturing the Brander home
in Texas, with all characters dressed
accordingly. Then in the next act
it pictured the Brander family as
new arrivals in one of the fashion
able hotels in Washington and the
uncouthness of the Texans in their
high life surroundings.
Everyone in the play did credit to
themselves and the production.
George Watson as Maverick Brander
and Lynn Purdin as Brassey Gall
both won a place with the audience
at their first appearance. They, OF
course, are old hands at the game
and their starring put finish to the
play that demanded interest by the
hearers.
Ruth Whitney as Bossey the
daughter of Maverick Brander
played her part to perfection, hel

New Industry
In Ashland

A new enterprise, the manufacture
of shipping crates, is expected to
spring up in our midst within short
time. A firm composed of Messrs.
Lininger, Morthland and Ward are
making preparations to engage in
the manufacture of folding crate
for use in shipping vegetables, frult,
chickens and camel goods.
The new crate is an invention OF
John w. Ward of klamath Falls.
Mr.. Ward has been here for the past
few weeks making the arrangements
for manufacturing the crates but left
Sunday for Portland where he will
place his patent before the shipping
men of the Rose City. From there
he will go to Chicago where he will
also try to interest shipping men.
The crates are so made that no
nails are used in their construction
and when a crate is empty it is fold
ed IN into small package and can
be returned to the original shippers
at a very small cost. The chicken
crates are made in the same manner
but is also made so that the crate Is
never upside down-the top and bot
tom being exactly the same. 1t is q
much lighter affair than the old-stylt
chicken crate and il is almost inde
structible. Apple boxes are made II
the same way-the special advantage
of the new box being that frui
grower can store a thousand boXe
all made up in the same amount o
, space that would be required 10
storing about half that number Il
the raw material-and also from tn
fact that the new box can be mad
= much cheaper and stronger an
. lighter.
The new crate is an interestin
specimen of mechanical ingenuit
and we believe that the manufactul
: ers-wherever they engage in tn
manufacture of it-have an articl
to place upon the market that wi
soon find strong favor among shiT
