ESQ Men Work
At Crater Lake

Lieutenant George E. Goodwin OF
the United States engineering corps,
accompanied by seveen engineers and
office men, arrived last evening from
Portland on his way to Crater Lake
national park to resume the construc-
tion of the system Of roads the gov
ernment is building there, says Sam
Evans in the klamath Falls North
western.
Lieutenant Goodwin stated in an
interview that work on the roads
would be commenced as soon as
weather conditions would permit and
would continue vigorously through
out the summer and until bad wealth
er stopped operations next fall.
Il am unable to make any defi-
mite statement in regard to opera
tions in the park because have not
been on the ground yet this year"
said Lieutenant Goodwin. There
are about twenty men at Chloquin
now unloading a big steam shovel.
and today another shovel will reach
there. A third will arrive before long
and all three will be used this sum-
mer.
1t is the plan now to commence
work on the Fort Klamath entrance
and complete that to the rim. The
Sand creek road was completed last
year, and by fall the connecting link
which runs along and near the rim
of the lake FOR considerable dis
tance will be finished. This will COM
plete circuit from Fort klamath to-
the lake, thence along or near the
rim, then down to Sand creek, and
from here to Fort Klamath again.
THE amount of work done this
will depend altogether on
the size of the appropriation by con-
gress. If we get the appropriation
expected, about 200 or $50 men and
a great number of teams will be en-
ployed and considerable work be-
sides thta already mentioned will be-
done. II the appropriation is small
fewer men will be employed and per-
haps little besides the Fort Klamath
entrance and the rim road connect
ing it and the San creek road will
be done"

At MedfOrd Field Meet
Ashland Wins by One Point

The dual field meet held at Med
ford Saturday was one of the most
interesting meets that has ever been
held in the Rogue River Valley. The
spectators could not tell from the
time the meet started which would
win first as Medford would be ahead
for while and then Ashland would
take the lead.
Pelouze was the easy star for Med
ford, doing good work in all the
events that he entered, while Peters
was the star for the Ashland squad
Abbott of Ashland sprung a surprise
when he took the mile run away cas-
lily from Freeman and then turned
around and won the two-mile.
The meet was great success all
the way through with the exception
of the jar between the two teams
over the relay race. Medford thought
that the relay should not count points
as they were giving a special banner
for this event, but Ashland took ex-
ception to this as the contract that
was signed by both Ashland and Med
ford put it in as one of the regular
events.
The matter was put before the
three track judges for the final de-
cision. They went over the matter
carefully and finally decided that the
relay would count five points for first
and three points for second This
gave the meet to Ashland by one
point.

Big Strawberry
Season is Outlook

The recent warm spring rains have
produced the desired result in regard
to the Strawberries, for fine, big,
luscious fruit is now beginning to
come in to the local markets. AL
though many of the first blossoms
were nipped by the frost, more have
come on, and this year will probably
be a big one in strawberry history.
The berries are ripening very fast and
there Is a good market.

At a recent meeting of the inter-
national congress of surgeons, DR.. w.
w. Keen of Philadelphia was elected
president. This is the first time the
honor has fallen to an American sur
geon, although it has been admitted
for years that we do more cutting
than all the rest of the world be-
sides. And it may come, some day,
that our American surgeons will do
less work with the knife. 1t looks
almost like real lust for blood, this
mania for cutting human patients.

Ashland now has one of the finest
theatres on the Pacific coast, barring
none in appointment and beauty, and
second only in size to the best.
The Vining brothers spared no
pains or expense in their playhouse;
indeed, they put several thousand
dollars more into the finishing touch
es than anticipated when they came
to Ashland.
In harmony and detail the Vining
was great surprise even to those
who had watched from day to day the
workmen as they constructed the
building and the decorators as they
painted the walls and scenery.
When the house was opened Thurs
day night exclamations of delight and
wonder were heard on every hand.
Few had an adequate conception of
the beauty they were to behold when
they entered, and stood in wonder
and astonishment when they beheld
the little beauty" as some expressed
their surprise.
While many who attended did not
expect to fully appreciate the opera
Faust, they were agreeably surprised
and pleased with the splendid per-
formance and high character of the
ply. The cast is one of the strong
est to visit the Pacific coast for years.
the leading tenor being a pupil of
the famous Caruso, while the part of
Eugene Parks as Mephistopheles was
considered to be the finest ever wit
messed in this difficult role. The
tenor was sung in Italian, as was also
the part of Valentine.
Following the beautiful garden
scene, Messrs. Robert and Professor
Vining were called upon by the audi
ence for a few words. President
Newcombe responded with words OF
appreciation on behalf of the Com
mercial Club for the great enterprise
and confidence in our city shown by
Messrs. Vining in building such a
grand structure for their home city.
Mayor johnson spoke words of APP
probation in behalf OF the citizens
generally, dwelling upon the fact that
Me9srs. Vining returned to the home
of their youth after years spent out
in the great world accumnlating the
cash with which to show their friends
that they still loved the old home
Professor Vining responded to the
friendly words of his fellow-towns-
men with deep feeling and expressed
his confidence in Ashland and its fu-
ture, and the great pride both he and
his brother enjoyed in their home
city. His words were greeted with
hearty response.
A few words of friendly apprecia-
ton were spoken OF the splendid CO.
operation of the workmen in the con-
struction of this splendid building by
Architect Purvis. The work was per-
formed entirely by local workmen
under the direct supervision of the
architect. and the rapidity with which
the structure was built was the mar
vel of all our citizens and proved the
thorough knowledge of the man at
the helm.
After the performance an informal
reception was held by the Vining

Two New York reporters have been
sent to jail for refusing to tell how
they learned certain items of news.
1t has long been a strong part of
newspaper ethics to hold a secret, and
any reported worth the while would
rather go to jail than to disclose the
name of one who gives him nice,
juicy bit of news. No, it is not true
that newspapers print all the force
knows. We hold back as much as
we print, and hundreds of people are
happy each day because we don't pub
lish all we might concerning them,
their misfortunes and blunders.

BELL USED ON NATcHEz IN FAMOUS
RACE WITH R0BT. {. Lee FOUND.
Interesting Letter on Ante.Belium
Subjects from Mr.. J. A. Turpin.

Mr. j. A. Turpin, of Waterproof, has
sent the Gazette the following extract
taken from daily paper and which Is
Of unusual interest in this parish:
After years OF search by interested river
men, the big DELL used on the famous
steamer Natchez that won lasting fame
i'm her race with the Robert +. Lee, has
been located on Hollywood plantation,
i'm Tensas parish, Louisiana, near Nat
chez, Miss. and it serves its purpose well
in calling out the early morning hours
when hands are hustled ont Of their beds
to work in the cotton fields.
River men say there never was bell
with sweeter tone used on Mississippi
river steamer 1t could be heard for miles.
1t was cast for John Routh, owner of
Hollywood plantation. The makers lived
in Cincinnati. and on the bell in raised
letters was, Hollywood Plantation, John
Routh, Owner"
Dates indicate that the bell was cast in
1859. 1t weighed 1900 pounds and cost
$50O--qute sam, Say old inhabitants
for planter Ia pay ont for a bell, but
Routh owned so many acres it was neces-
sary to have large one in order that
overseers could hear it at the farthest end
of the plantation-then he could have the
slaves turn out for meals.
During the war John Routh was killed.
The plantation was sold to Joseph q.
Gillespie, who was "A Southerner, so strong
i'm his beliefs that Federal company
raided his place one time, and among
other things captured was the big bell.
On their way across country two CON-
panies OF Confederate soldiers sot so close
to them they dropped the bell and es-
capped. after cutting off the raised letters.
The Confederates got the bell and sold it.
Shortly after the war Captain 7. p.
feathers, who had just built the steamer
Natchez, bought the bell from Natchez
dealer, and had it placed on his boat.
That was i'm 1869.
In 1873 the bell found its place on the
second steamer Natchez, and when that
steamer sank, Captain feathers had div
ers to unearth it from the mud, and pre-
scented it to MIR. Gillespie, so, he said, il
could perform the duties for which it was
made.
Heirs of Gillespie still own Hollywood
plantation, and the bell is kept in fond
memory OF days of the old South.
