New Fish Ladder.

The new fish ladder at the Gold
Ray dam is now completed and water
was turned into the new runway re-
Gently so that the fish may now get
to the upper river at either side of
the power company's dam at that
station. The game and fish commits
sion, urged by sportsmen interested,
have for several years been working
for fishway on the south side of the
river on the contention that the north
side ladder was not sufficient to ac-
commodate the fish during the spring
runs, and at last the desired i'm
provement has been made. 1t is be-
lieYed that the new ladder will make
it great deal easier for the fish to
get up over the dam and consequent
ly mean better fishing in the river
above the backwater from the dam.

HOLDS TROPHY FOR SECOND YEAR
One Year More VIII Make Silver Cup
Property of Ashland High School
All Four Games Were Very
Closely Contested.

The Ashland team has finally land.
ed the cup by defeating Medford in
four straight games. Grants Pass de-
feated the locals at one time after a
tie game had been played off, but
Ashland has beaten them since by an
eight-point margin. Grants Pass has
also been defeated by Medford.
Ashland high school defeated Med
ford high in the fourth game of the
series here Saturday evening, II to
IL. The game was not nearly so in
teresting as the others of the series
and the Ashland boys had the game
well in hand from the start. The
Medford lads were in the lead but
once-in the first half, when they
overcame Ashland's to lead and
brought the score into their favor, 8
points to 8. 1t was only for mo-
ment and the half ended with the To-
Gals on the long end.
Medford put up a scrappy game
and fought hard for the final game,
but they were outclassed on all styles
of play; Ashland played rings around
them. Beacon played star game
for the visitors and secured three
field baskets as we'll as scoring a
point from the foul line.

Tells His Experiences.

J. w. Sweeney, the contractor on
the Pacific Highway, was expressing
his opinion on the hobo problem the
other day. Mr.. Sweeney has not
much use for the genus hobo and says
it only takes him short time on
each job to get hard hearted. He
hired three men who struck the job
Saturday night recently. paid their
board on a ranch over Sunday and
they flew Immediately after break
fast. He says it is no use a man
coming to him and trying to hire out
at night. They must come when he
can see them work before they hit
the cook house. Men on that sort of
work he grades into several classes:
The hobo who won't work and wants
to get a meal and a nights lodging
and fly, the small stake man, the
medium stake man and the big stake
man. The small stake man will work
till he gets few dollars and then
beat it. The medium stake man will
accumulate quite little money be-
fore quitting, while the large stake
man gets a good big stake before
quitting. These three classes of men
are often all good workers, but the
genuine hobo is no good whatever.

Macbeth Given
BY Prof Vining

About two hundred boys and grown
people attended the lecture of Pro-
fessor Vining at the Boys Club last
Friday evening. The subject was the
Shakespearean play of Macbeth. Pro-
fessor Vining certainly drew some
vivid pictures of the play and les
sons to be learned through it, and
an acquaintance with the characters
represented in the play His address
was brought home to his hearers in
many forceful remarks as to the ap-
plication of the lessons brought out
in the play to those of everyday life.
Mr.. Vining waXed eloquent in his ad-
dress and held the closest attention
of his audience, and the time seemed
too short, many wishing that he could
continue for another hour. Ashland
is exceedingly fortunate to have
among its citizens a young man of
the culture and ability of Mr.. Irving
His efforts in behalf of the
youth of our city, and his willingness
and earnestness in their behalf,
should meet with Appropriation and en-
couragement from all those who de-
sire to see a nobler manhood in the
rising generation

Ashland Shops
Rank Very High

The bulletin for February gives the
grades of the different shops inspect
ed in Oregon. In candy factories
Ashland ranks the highest in the
state. The following are the grades
which appeared in the bulletin: But
ler's Confectionery, E. n. Butler, Ash
land. 70.6; Spa Confectionery, Grants
Pass, 69.3; Crowson's Confectionery,
Ashland. 63.1; Palace of Sweets. w.
e. OFT, Roseburg, 562; Vicker's Con-
fectionery. Roseburg, 56.2 Rose
Confectionery, Roseburg, 54.2; Kan
dy Kitchen, Forest Grove, 49.4; Rose
Bros, Ashland, 49.4; Star Confec-
tionery. Forest Grove, 1872; Medford
Confectionery, 46.4; Russell's Confec-
tionery, Grants Pass, $50.
Ashland did not rank as high in
the meet shop grades, but she was far
above the average. Our concection-
ers need to be congratulated on the
splendid showing they made with the
other candy makers of the state. De-
fects in construction of buildings
rather than lack of cleanliness oft
times causes low ratings.

MOSS-Kid(Ien Lawns.

The serious inroads made by moss
on lawns is best controlled in those
hooks and corners of the lawn that
are densely shaded. The ordinary
lawn grasses lose their vigor under
these conditions and are crowded out
by winter moses that flourish there.
The moss dries up later and can be
raked off and burned. Light appli-
cations of air-slaked lime are recon-
mended. This treatment is not ex-
pected to kill the moss, but it invig-
crate the grass, which is thus en-
abled to struggle successfully against
it's enemy.

MedfOTd and Ashland
Boys Have Great Time

The special train chartered We'd
nesday evening for carrying the Ash
land boosters to Meiford for the Med
ford-Ashland game was a huge sue
cess and over ESQ staunch Ashland
supporters accompanied the boys to
the neighboring city. Two coaches
and baggage car were required for
transportation purposes and when the
little train pulled into Medford there
was such a bowling and roaring as
Medford had not heard in many
a year. The parade, which was led
by an elaborate 25-piece brass band.
consisted of the faculty, the girls
and boys teams, the high school stu
dents, rooters' gang and town people.
They all marched to the Medford
Natatorium double file, covering a
length OF almost four blocks. At the
game the Ashland supporters made
more noise than all the Medford peo-
pie put together, and there must have
been at least 400 or 500 of them at
that. Medford had never seen such
a crowd in the Natatorium and the
receipts We're reported to have to-
tailed over $500. The game was the
fastest seen in this section of the
state for long time and everybody
got their moneys worth.

Would Simplify Practice.

Washington, March An appeal
for simplified court procedure to ia
cilitate the administration of justice
was made to the house judiciary COM
mittee last week by delegation of
noted lawyers, headed by former
President Taft.
Speaking as president of the Amer
lean Bar Association, Taft said the
lawyers practically were a unit in
believing simple rules of practice
should govern all courts and urged
the passage of a bill introduced by
Representative Clayton empowering
the supreme court to lay rules for the
conduct of common law practice in
the general courts.

FORTY-FOUR FEET WEST OF
TEMPLE SECURED.
PLANS ARE NOW READY
Il. p. o. +. Made Generous COnces-
siOns to Get New Theatre for City
Beautiful-Wll Seat 1000, With
Exits and Everything Modern.

Ashland is to have one of the finest
theatres and photoplay houses be-
tween Portland and San Francisco.
Work is to be commenced within the
next week or two and the theatre
be completed and ready for occupancy
by July /. Robert Vining, formerly
an Ashland boy, but of late years re-
siding in Alaska, decided to assist
his old home town by building here
a first-class theatre. At first he
bought the Mcconnell property on
East Main street now occupied by
Rose Bros. and a barber shop. The
barber shop had lease for the west
room of the building which did not
expire till January next, and the les
sees refused to surrender their lease
unless they received a price which
Mr.. Vining declined to pay. He was
about to give up the project when
the location to the west of the Elks
Temple was brought to his attention,
and after looking the situation over
he concluded that if he could pur-
chase the "A feet frontage west of the
Temple, and get permission from the
Elks to use the west wall of the Tenn
pie, he would build theatre on that
site. He proceeded at once to OBJ
tain an option on the adjoining lot,
which he successfully accomplished.
The Elks lodge, considering the ben
eft it would be to the community,
made satisfactory arrangements with
Mr.. Vining for the use of the west
wall at nominal rental. Mr.. Vining
states that work will be begun with
in the next two weeks and completed
as quickly as possible. An architect
from Seattle who has planned and
supervised the erection of more than
score of theatres will be in charge
of the construction of the building
and the equipment. The plans which

Ashland II, Medford rs.

Before the largest crowd ever to
witness a basketball game in the
spacious Medford Natatorium the
Ashland high school quintet defeated
the Medford team by the score of II
to Is last Wednesday evening. At
the end of the second half the score
stood at tie, 1915, and playoff
was necessary, Ashland finally win
ming by beautiful basket contribut-
ed to the cause by Gravy Plymate
The crowd nearly went wild and
Gravy was carried off the floor on
the shoulders of his teammates and
some of the Ashland supporters.
The contest was hard fought from
start to finish, the first half ending
in Medford's favor by to g. But
during the last period the locals be-
gan playing real ball and the score
began to climb under the work OF
Plymate. Fraley and Grisez. Medford
was also busy during this time and
when the half ended both teams were
fighting in vain for the necessary
point. Pelouze, for Medford, missed
two free throws during this critical
period. When a playoff was agreed
upon and Gravy came through with
the winning basket the suspense was
over, but not so the excitement. The
hall rang with shouts of triumph and
the Ashland contingent cleared out
for the special, having seen one of
the best played and most interesting
games of their lives.

Thursday night there was but
small crowd to see the game at Med
ford and only very few Ashlanders
were present. The contest was much
slower and exciting than that of We'd
nesday evening, but the Ashland boys
were there and started winning from
the jump. Spencer and Fraley con-
tributed the Ashland points for the
first half, which ended to in the
visitors favor; Spencer and Fraley
each threw field basket, while
Dutch Thomas registered Medford's
point on free throw. The home
team came back in the latter half of
the game and tied Ashland at 5-5,
but Gravy broke the deadlock with
well-directed basket. Fraley added
another point through free throw
and the game ended with Ashland !
again on the long end of the score.
Cowgirl secured Medfords only field I

Thomas was responsible for the other
three points.
