The ladies of the Civic Improve
ment Club held st. Patrick get
together meeting in Memorial hall
Saturday afternoon. About fifty la
dies were present. Mrs. C. B. Lam
kin presided and presented the pur-
pose of the meeting-that is, to get
the ladies of the town interested in
carrying on the various campaigns
which are being planned A program
was given in which Mrs. Robertson
rendered an instrumental solo, Mrs.
Fred Homes a reading, Miss Creek
baum a vocal solo, Catherine and
Riley Pettinger a recitation, while
Mrs. Lennart told fortunes. All the
numbers were encored and the nro-
gram was excellent. Riley and Cath
crime Pittinger deserve special men
tion in the way they gave their reci-
tation, the expression and gestures
beign perfect. They were trained by
their mother, who is accomplished
along these lines. The decorations
were especially beautiful being of
green tissue paper, while beautiful
almond blossoms and daffodils were
in profuseness everywhere from the
ceiling and intertwined with green
cypress. Miss Vivian Greer presided
over st. Patrick booth where sham
rock pins were sold. Tea and cookies
were served to the guests, the tea
table being presided over by Mes
danes Rocho, Barber and Whittle.
Mrs. Lennart occasioned a great deal
of fun telling the fortunes of the
guests by the tea grounds. She was
arrayed in gypsy costume and pre-
sented very charming appearance.

Local Artist Is
Recognized Abroad

AS Ashland and vicinity are well
aware of the talented artist in our
midst, in the person of Miss Mabel
Russell we are pleased to know that
her light is not hidden under a
bushel," but her fame has already
spread beyond the confines of the
state. We print the following extract
from letter received recently by her
from John p. Clum, in the interests
of the Southern Pacific Company,
which reads:
Since writing you / have shown
your rose slide at San Jose and at
Del Monte. At the former place
yours was the only flower slide to
command applause-and you know
that some of my other flower slides
are very beautiful"
The above letter has reference to
slides which were made of some of
Ashland's roses, the color work being
by Miss Russell.
We also quote from the pen of
Lischen NJ. Miller in writing to the
Eugene Morning Register He says:
1T seems impossible to get away
from pictures this week, and GER
tainly | cannot pass over in silence
the wonderful work in oils which DR..
Hodge discovered in southern Ore
gon. They are on exhibition at Allen
Eaton's art shop and are really re-
markable in many ways. The grape
clusters by Miss Russell strike me
as being marvellous as to color and
technique. How she achieved that
translucent effect is something be-
yond the understanding of the unin-
itiated.
Miss Russell is a sister of Mrs
Fountain, who has painted many pic
lures of Crater Lake, but noneb to
compare with those now in the nos
session of DR.. Hodge. Her work has
been exhibited in Portland and San
Francisco"
DR.. Hodge is the lecturer who was
at Ashland some time ago and lee
tured at the school on the ely cam
paign." When he was here he took
the beautiful picture Miss Russell
had made of some Ashland Flaming
Tokay grapes and two Crater Lake
pictures which were painted by Miss
Russell's sister, Grace r. Fountain.
He intends to hang them in the uni
versity library to be enjoyed by the
students. He as well as the people
of Eugene are completely won over
to the beautiful work which was done
by these artists. Quoting DR.. Hodge:
II cannot remember of ever see
ing anything of the kind that seemed
as well done-so full of translucent.
glowing, bottled sunshine"

For Election

The ladies broke a record last
week when they eXcelled the men in
registration figures by 10 votes. The
men only totalled 100, while the
women signed up to the tune of 1856.
The republican lead continues to
increase, with the democratic vote
falling off little by little and the
other parties, led by the progressives,
coming up in the rear.
The only filings for office are A.
S. Tee for county supervisor and A.
&. Kellogg Of Gold Hill for county
coroner.

THE VALLEY OF THE ROGUE.
(By A. H. Anger.)

Across the plains and over the Rocky
Hills,
Where ev'ning's sun sinks in the
western sea,
BY the winding trails among the
rocks and rills,
Where Natures hand is lavish
with her gifts,
Lies the fertile valley of the Rogue
There over the vale and through the
bushy dark,
The lean and hungry coyote still
prowls
And cries to the hills his shrill be-
wailing bark,
To wake the echoes of the silent
night
In the quiet valley of the Rogue.
And there the crouching cougar peers
from his lair
Into the darkness of the night and
snarls
His challenge to the danger-laden air,
While gentle breezes whisper
through the pines "
In the wild, old valley of the Rogue.
There the wandering buck and the
gentle doe
Still roam in the wilds of the Siski-
you hills.
Long may there the gnarly manzanita
grow,
And the stately oak spread it's
boughs above
The beautiful valley of the Rogue.

TED SULLIVAN
ON WAY HOME
Well Known Baseball Scout Says
U. S. Is the Best Country

Ted Sullivan, well known baseball
character, who has been associated
with Charley Comiskey OF the Chicago
White Sox for several years, left for
Ireland several weeks ago to arrange
for a baseball tour OF England and
ireland this fall. Ted departed just
before the war broke out and arrived
abroad just in time to get into the
thickest OF the fray. In order To let
his friends know that he is SAFE and
sound, Ted writes as follows OF his
foreign trip to b. f. Steinel, sporting
editor of the Evening Wisconsin:
Il am writing you this letter for the
benefit Of my friends in Milwaukee.
When left New York on July Il little
did l think that all Europe would blaze
forth in war. i was in London the
night England declared war on Ger
many. The scenes IL brought on-in
the way OF excitement-will ever be
impressed upon my mind. All the
Americans in London made arrange
ments at once to leave for home. A
letter | had from President Wilson
gave me some precedence in getting
accommodations at once on a ship
bound for home. English cruisers are
accompanying us across the Atlantic
to protect the $500 passengers aboard
from capture by the Germans. That
the officers were alarmed was shown
by the fact that they painted the fun
nels Of the ship three different colors
since we left. One day we were an
American Swedish ship and the next
the tunnels were painted to represent
"a japanese ship. The English passen-
gers and members Of the crew hate
the Germans aboard to such an extent
that IL you should order "a bottle of
Pabst or Schlitz beer you would be
under suspicion Of being a German spy.
Wen, 1 belong to Gods country, the
L. :. A.. and ! am thankful for it. /
am on my way back home now and am
thankful for it. Yours truly,
TED SULLIVAN.

NORTHWEST LEAGUE STARS.
Many Players Making Good In Major
Leagues.

This seems to be a good year for the
representatives of the Pacific North
western in the big leagues--much bet
ter than was the case a couple OF sea-
sons back, when Vean Gregg seemed
almost the only winner from that reg
ion, and the great slugger, Buddy
Ryan, was falling in the faster
company. Now the big leagues are
well stocked with men from the North
western, and most OF them are proving
Al performers.
In the National league Boston Is
specially strong in these Northwestern
athletes. Whaling is catching finely,
though his batting. owing to his slow
ness on foot, is below grade. Bill
James Is a big winner, and rapidly ad-
vancing to the top class among star
pitchers. Strand not only wins most
of the games he occasionally pitches,
but bats heftily. and helps himself two
ways from the jack by smuggling and
fast base running.
Two Northwestern pitchers. Doug
lass and Schneider, are fine assets for
the Cincinnati Reds. pitching elegant
ball and improving with experience.
Kantlehner, who should work oftener
for the Pirates, came originally from
the Northwestern, and Ham Hyatt. the
mighty pinch hitter. was out in that
company when young and green.

RENO TO BECOME
RACING CENTER
Nevada SportsmsnPIan Six Months
Meeting Next Year

San Francisco. Aug. 2l.-Reno, New,
famous az the first finish fight center
a few years ago. will probably be the
mecca OF racing men next summer
Wealthy Nevada men are behind the
project to have a six months racing
meet at Reno during the Panama ex-
position in San Francisco.
Although Reno is quite a distance
from the coast metropolis. and Is in
another state. It is considered a rea-
sonable scheme. The ride from San
Francisco to Reno by rail is short.
California has just completed n
magnificent automobile road from San
Francisco TO Lake Tahoe, in the Sierra
border. From Lake Tahoe to Reno is
only about eighteen or twenty miles.
The men behind the racing project
propose building fine automobile
road from Reno to Lake Tahoe, com
pleting the connection with San Fran
cisco. When that Is done it will be
less than an hours ride from the lake
to the track
J The race track itself IL to be built
about a mile outside Of Reno, connect
| ed with the town by boulevard.
Large hotels are to be built to accom-
modate the race-going regulars as well
as those who take short trips from the
Golden Gate. California, once the
greatest racing state in the union, has
no more racing.
