Our Militia Boys
Third on Targets

The Ashland company of Coast
Artillery returned from their trip to
Fort Stevens last evening. The boys
come home with a glowing report of
the good time they had, also the
amount of interest and instruction
they had in handling the big guns.
The boys left week ago today, ar
irving in Portland on Friday. They
marched in the big Rose Festival pa
rade with about 10000 of Oregon
militia and regulars. Leaving there
that evening, they proceeded to Fort
Stevens, where they remained the
rest of the stay
The Ashland company came third
in target practice of all the COM
panies in the state. That made them
feel pretty hilarious. They handled
the big twelve-inch guns and were
instructed in the science of sighting,
plotting, etc.

Boy HikerS
At the Caves

Sundays Grants Pass Courier de-
voted the larger part of two pages to
writeups of Josephine Cave Day
which was celebrated on the fifteenth
by 200 people visiting the caves. The
Courier publishes the following re-
garding the Ashland contingent of the
200 visitors:
One of the most interesting and
picturesque parties visiting the caves
came from Ashland, under the guild
ance of Prof. l. e. Vining, formerly of
Columbia University, New York city.
There were nine members of the
Boys Vocational Club of Ashland in
the party, the youngest being fourteen
years of age and the oldest nineteen.
They came directly over the noun
tains, through the deep snow on Red
Mountain and Dutchman's Butte, and
stopped at Squaw Lake for fishing.
That they caught fish there was a
certainty after hearing the enthusi-
astic exclamation of one boy: Gee,
it's swell fishing in Squaw Lake"
The party had been out for five
days when they reached the caves on
Tuesday morning, and finer, health
ier looking group of boys would be
hard to find. But the most impor-
tant members of the party were the
five burros used by the boys to pack
their supplies. So important were
the long-eared members of the party
that Prof. Vining said he was wax
ened at night by hearing the boys
saying in their sleep, Get up there" &"
Beat it," Get move on you," and
other expressions of persuasion.
On account of difficulty in follow
! ing some of the trails the party on
leaving the caves will return to Ash
land directly across the country, us
| ing only the compass to guide them.
They are making no effort to make
any time record, but are carefully
studying nature as they travel. Game
Warden A. S. Hubbard of Jackson
county is with the party
The Boys Vocational Club is sup
ported by the Ashland Lodge of Elks,
944, and has a membership of about
300 boys. Prof Vining had similar
clubs in New York and the Ashland
organization started through his ef-
forts. On this trip the boys each paid
his own way.
The members of the party were the
| following: Prof. |. E. Vining, Game
Warden A. s. Hubbard, Milton Biegel,
Howard Gordon, Clarence Heninger,
r. McDaniels, Lynn Mowat, Fay Phil
lips, Neil Shinn, Raymond Thorn and
Paul Winters.

Cherry Season y
Ripe Harvest

Cherry season is now on. Owing
to an early spring the crop is light
and commanding good prices. A
great many of the early blossoms
We're blighted and some of the first
cherries were cracked by the late
rains. The hills around Ashland
supply the bulk of the crop.
The Bing cherries are furnishing
the biggest yield, followed by the
Royal Anne, and last but not least
the Lamberts ripen. They are the
finest for shipping, being very firm
and of very dark red color, making
an excellent pack for fancy ten-pound
boxes.
The fancy ten-pound box trade was
very heavy this year-Ashland people
sending them to their eastern friends.
The many Ashland people who
have seen the beautiful fancy packed
ten-pound boxes in the show window
of the Ashland Trading Company the
past week can fully realize why Ash
land cherries are in demand every
where and command such a fancy
price. The cherries displayed there
were shipped all over the United
States, to New York, Chicago, Louis
vile, South Bend, Indiana, British
Columbia, etc.
The shipping qualities of the Ash
land cherries are the result of the
altitude and cool nights making the
skins of the fruit very firm and extra
fine for shipping.
SHIPMENTS have been made this
year for the first time to the Ha-
waiian Islands. This shipment takes
from six to seven days and shippers
are awaiting the report on the con-
dition of the fruit on arrival 1t is
a new market and the shippers are
anxious to know about it for future
use.

fused tonight TO strike out the enact

ter was postponed until tomorrow

The rate bill was made an adjourn
ed debate measure on motion of Sem
ator Dennis.

verdict. 1.-The evidence submitted by
the plaintiff entirely insufficient upon
which to base q suit; that said evil
dence wholly exonerates the defend

their efforts to secure federal patron
age.

at his boarding house, corner OF Main
and Divine streets. in connection with

nection with the killing. who, it is
said. left Columbia yesterday after
noon for his home in Richmond. The
warrants for the arrest Of Wilson and
Traynham were sworn out by Cor

ton OF the case yesterday morning.

found that he came to his death by
congestion Of the brain. The inquest

Friday II is thought that he was
hit by one of the two men and left
unconscious: His body was found in
a stretch Of woods nearby and il is
supposed that he scrambled out there.
The examination by the city physician
showed that he came to his death
from congestion of the brain. There
were several ugly bruises on his head.
Friday was very cold and exposure
might have caused his death"

then it should be remembered that
the Aldrich-Vrceland act has been
extended until June 80, 1915. and the
TAX on circulation taken out under
TINS measure has been reduced to the
point where bankers may resort to

should arise. The financial situation
Is therefore sound and satisfactory.

UNSOUND BIDDING
AT ROYAL AUCTION
Typical Case Of q Good Whist
Player Who Loses

FOUR INTERESTING HANDS

Disastrous Score on

FOUR INTERESTING HANDS

n is q matter OF common obsArvati on
that there are persons who play one part
Of the game Of royal auction very we'll
and other parts very badly. and that while
II Ia seldom that one finds a person who
does not play some part badly. Il 10 just
as hard to find a player who does not
excel In some direction.
There Is q player in this city who
belongs to the old whist school and Ia
supposed to be able to read cards about
as well as any one In the game. As a
result he lets very few tricks get away,
yet he Ia one OF the biggest losers In
town. at which those who know his
reputation as a whist player seem very
much astonished.
AS such cases are always interesting,
and usually turn out to be experiences

observing his play during a rubber and
the weakness Of his game was easily
discovered to be In the bidding. For
n series OF six rubbers he did not lose
q trick that could be charged up as cold, &"
but at the same time for four consecu-
tive deals In one rubber he did not make
a correct call on his cards A. each Of
these four hands was more or less interest
ing and instructive. tho writer noted them
down.

Clubs are trumps and Y IL in the lead
Y and Il want six tricks against any de-
fence
The solution is for Y TO lead the heart
which overtakes with the ace so as to
lead the Jack through BIS queen. II q
does not cover It is evident that another
round will separate the trumps and that
two spades added TO the two hearts and
two trumps. will solve the problem: so
- puts on the queen. which still leaves
4 with the ten. y trumps
A spade lead from rs hand puts in
to draw BIS trump. discarding a useless
diamond AS II Is clear that A cannot
give up the heart or the spade he discards
the diamond. whereupon puts him In
with the losing heart and forces him to
cad spades, so that makes both king
and Ave.
Any attempt TO make the king OF hearts
separately from the ace will fall. because
even though z can put Y In on two suits
u cannot be forced to part with the queen
OF hearts. and that is the key to tho
problem.
