Vining Off For the North.

Bob Vining left Tuesday evening
for Seattle, where he will spend ten
days experimenting the buying and
shipment of goods into Alaska
where river traffic has just opened.
Mr.. Vining is in the wholesale gro
cery and produce business at Fair
banks as we'll as owning the finest
theatre in Alaska located in that city.
He says word comes from Fairbanks
that the city is booming and pros
poets for business are very bright.
Mr.. Vining expects to return to
Ashland in about ten days and ar
range affairs with relation to the Vim
ing Theatre here and will then go to
Alaska for the summer. His brother,
|. f. Vining, who is associated with
him in the ownership and operation
of the local theatre, will be in charge
of same. The Messrs. Vining inform
the Record that they have some
splendid feature films coming and
expect to furnish the people of Ash
land with entertainment of a grade
which they have not heretofore en-
joyed.
The Ashland public is apparently
just waking up to the advantages of
The Vining. The best audience il
has had at any of its moving picture
programs yet was present Monday
night, when three hundred people
passed through the doors. People
who wish to entertain their friends
in new and novel way are also be-
coming alive to the fact that theatre
box parties present a very satisfactory
method of doing so. Monday night
the forty couples of Medford people
who were in the city to attend the
ball given by the Eleven O'Clock Club
visited the theatre and declared af.
terwards that they were not only sur.
prised but delighted with its artistic
beauty.

to get the Cetriana past the obsta-
way, but, not until the Herrerias had
hauled up her anchor and attempted
to ram her.
No sooner had the Cetriana
cleared and started to pull out Of
the harbor than the mines began to
explode and the structure burst into
flames.
! In running out of the harbor the
| Cetriana passed the American brig
Geneva, which had been captured on
the highseas by Mexican troopship
and towed into ManZanillo as a prize
of war
Boats had already been lowered
from the Geneva and the captain and
crew, together with five refugees,
one a babe in arms, rowed toward
the Cetriana and were taken aboard
amid a fusillade from the Mexican
troops on shore and the troopships
in the harbor Captain Ferguson of
the Geneva had raised the American
flag on his ship in which he and his
crew had been held prisoners of war
when the Cetriana left the dock, and
those on board the latter vessel
! cheered as he and his party were
taken aboard
Notwithstanding the fact that his
position on the bridge was one of
extreme danger, the bullets whist
ling through the Cetriana's rigging
and many striking the vessel, Lieu

statement of passengers. calmly out
maneuvered the Mexican vessels
and made his way out of the harbor.

relay fashion--one taking the place
of the other as soon as each reached
the ends. Those running in the re-
lay were Weeden, King, Carter, and
Bryant, Cunningham, Baughman.
Weeden, King and Carter won.
The grotesque diving contest was
the next on the list, in which Cress.
Sanderson, Phillips, Grisez, Lynn
Slack and Lynn Mowat were contest
ants. Lynn Slack made first, Sidney
Sanderson second, and Willie Cress
third.
The water auto race followed the
diving contest There were two con-
testants, namely, Verni Carter and
Sheriff. Weeden, the former repre-
senting the Stanley steamer and the
latter the Ford. Each of the contest
ants had to carry person on his
back. Verni Carter came in half a
length ahead of Weeden. Ed Staples
was tickled to death to thing his
Stanley won.
The grand windup of the day was
the water polo contest, in which
twelve boys participated.

HIGH JINKS A HOWLING SUCCESS

After the heavy part of their noon
luncheon they were again told to line
up for their ice cream cones. Heap
ing cones were then doled out to
them, but for some reason or other
the ice cream line was endless. Can
you guess why?
After the barbecue the different
ball players-Boys' Club and Elks-
proceeded to array themselves in
feminine togs, and in short order the
players lined up on the field back
of Helman's.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1914-05-28

The Elks players answered to their
call as follows: Mckee, pitcher; Nc
Kercher, catcher; Jennings, first
base; Gamblers, second base; Van
Dyke, third base; Grieve, right field;
Pracht, center field; Wagner, left
field; Pracht, shortstop. The Boys
Club players lined out as follows:
Mowat, pitcher; Dews, catcher; Cum
mings, first base; Klum, second base;
Grisez, third base; Cunningham, right
field; Sanderson, center field; Spen-
Ger, left field; Lilly, shortstop.
The game was one of the most fas-
cinating that Ashland has seen for a
long time. at least since the game
between the ministers and business
men which was held some years ago.
1t was full of incidents that were side
splitters. The players answered to
names such as Sally, Edna, Kate,
Maude, Eliza, Alice. etc.
When the Boys Club were first up
to bat and Proc Klum had hold of the
stick, he knocked little toss-up to
the first baseman, Jennings, the gas
man. Jennings was so Mortified and
surprised to see a ball coming his
way that he held out his hands in an
effort to arrest it's flight and it calmly
slipped through them and hit him in
his stomach, much to his disgust. He,
however, tried to stoop and get it,
but-shall We say it?-his shadow
skirt and corset stays prevented this
and he toppled over like log, maxi
ing frantic grabs after the elusive
sphere. While he was going through
these gymnastics he let Klum make
second base. With the aid of base
ball fans he succeeded in righting
himself.
The next spectacular play was that
made by Marsh Wagner, in the last
inning, in which he gained the one
point for the Elks to boast of. He
struck two side winders with awful
| force, and the third ball, which was
tossed to him out of pity, he hit with
resounding whack that sent it fly
ing to the pitcher. The pitcher caught
it in his skirts, and in the melee
which followed in trying to extract
! it Marsh made home run, to the
extreme glee of his supporters. Wag-
ner made another play which he will
have to tell about, namely, the barb
wire episode. Some one had struck
a ball over the fence and Marsh, feel
ing the agility and exuberance OF
youth again, gave a dive through the
wires and was brought up with a sud-
den halt. He had forgotten about
the feminine wardrobe that he wore
and there he was, in very undigni-
fled position, hung on the fence
Neither leg was quite long enough to
reach the ground and it was worth a
good deal to see him lying on his
solar plexus, kicking for foothold.
The score was 9 to l in favor OF
the Boys Club.
Some of the costums worn were
worthy of careful consideration
Lynn Mowat won first prize for the

Aged Indian Slave
Returned to Die

About fifty years ago Pat Howlock,
a Pitt River Indian, was a slave
among the Klamaths, Modocs and
Snakes that roamed southern Oregon,
says the klamath Falls Northwestern.
He was one of the forty in that con-
dition of servitude. When the Great
Treaty was signed by the Klamaths,
Snakes and Modocs in 1854 these
tribes agreed to release forty slaves
owned by them and to grant them
full rights with themselves in all mat
ters whatsoever, even to the acquiring
of lands.
Howlock's master died when the
former was mere boy and before
the Great Treaty was signed. 1t had
been the custom of the Indians in
some cases to offer sacrifices to the
departed, and on this occasion How
lock was selected to be sacrificed on
the grave of his master Only the
timely interference of Captain Kelley
at that time in charge of the United
States soldiers in this section, saved
Howlock. He was turned over to
Agent Lindsay Applegate, the first
agent of the government in southern
Oregon, and Applegate cared for him
for many years, in fact, reared him
along with his own son, Oliver, who
many years later became agent.
After the Great Treaty was signed
Howlock, then young man, went to
the home of his tribesmen, the Pitt
Rivers of northern California It
was here many years later that he
became chief of the Pitts and ruled
long.
Now, forty years afterward, he re-
turns to the land where he was raised.
He comes to claim allotments of land
forhimself and his wife and his son.
He ID 65 years old, gray, bent and
decrepit. But he Is not too old to
remember the white boy with whom
he played nor too old to shake the
hand OF that same person, Captain
Oliver Q, Applegate, with whom he
once played and who he now asks to
assist him in his attempt TO secure
his rights under the treaty of 1854
Captain Applegate had rather dc
some kindness to friend than to
help himself. And so, of course, he
will place the matter before the In.
dian authorities and use his influence
to secure for Howlock the land due
him under the treaty.
Howlock, accompanied by his wife
and son, arrived at jRinax a few days
ago, coming from Pitt river in q

Shops Good WORK
Santa Fe Men Raise S4OO In
Topeka Plant.
Money Turned Over to Belgian
Relief Association.

Four hundred dollars is the amount
OF money raised by employees OF the
Santa Fe shops in the car, storehouse
and locomotive departments alone TOT
the Belgian relief fund. according to an
announcement by Superintendent Dru-
ry today.
When it is considered that up to date
the total amount raised by the city OF
Topeka and officially reported to the
committee amounts to just little more
than 81 900, the liberality of the shop
men is impressive. OF course mucn
more than 81. 900 has been raised In the
city. but only this amount has been
officially reported.
When it is further considered that
for time the shops were operated on
short hours and many Of the men had
to skimp to keep up the payments on
homes they are buying, the rest OF the
city will have fast pace to follow, II
they contribute with the same degree
, of liberality.

ment since Wednesday but was not
permitted to become public until to-

a harbor which the Turkish govern
ment had declared closed. shot was
fired across her bow to stop her. The
captain of the Tennessee reports that
it was not intended as a hostile act.
"A full investigation of the matter

ment. Previous attempts to COM
municate with Ambassador Morgen-
thau in Constantinople have led to
delays of as much as a week."
Secretary Daniels few minutes
later authorized the announcement
that the words, "act not hostile" were
contained in Captain Decker's first re-
port, which was received in Washing
ton on November 18.
On that day Mr.. Daniels issued a
statement summarizing Captain Deck
