Valley Boy Is
Killed by Robber

Word was received last week of
the murder of John Krutzler, 20
years old, the son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Krutzler of Medford, by high
wayman in Reno, New. According to
the message, young Krutzler was GO
ing to a dance with a girl friend when
he was stopped by highwayman.
Instead of complying with the request
to hold up his hands Krutzler hesi-
tated and the highwayman fired, the
bullet striking the young man in the
left eye, killing him instantly. The
robber then fled and the young lady
drove back to Reno, giving the alarm,
The dead man was we'll known in
the valley, having resided here the
greater part of his life. He left three
years ago for Portland, where he
worked as engineer year and then
went to Reno. He visited his parents
a month ago. The body will be
shipped to Medford for burial. -H

Former Pastor is
Reported Safe

Among those touring in the foreign
countries, well known by Ashlanders,
is Rev. Hicks, former pastor of the
Ashland Baptist church. Many have
wondered where he was travelling at
present, and if he was in danger by
the war. Gale S. Hill of Albany,
whose father, Or. j. l.. Hill, is in
company with Rev Hicks, received
a telegram on the 2lst from the trav-
elers, to the effect that they were
both we'll" They were out of the
range of hostilities, as they were in
Mozambique. South Africa where
they were stopping for few days
They stated, however, that it would
be necessary, if war continues very
long, to abandon part of their trip.

Big HailStoneS
Fall At Talent

Wednesday evening a very hard
hailstorm occurred at and around
Talent. Though there was thunder
and a slight sprinkling in Ashland,
no hail fell. X. l.. Burdic and wife
and daughter Hope happened to be in
the very thick of the storm when it
broke. They were going up the hill
directly after crossing through Bear
creek, on the road used to come from
Talent to Ashland while the highway
is being completed, The rain fell at
first in torrents, making the road
very slippery, so much so that. the
car in one place slid off of the road
and it took a good deal of effort to
place it back on. Then as they were
halted on the hill the rain changed
to hail and il beat down in an alarm
ing manner, the hailstones being as
big as the end of ones thumb. 1t is
not known as yet whether much harm
was done fruit, but in that immediate
locality it is very probable that many
apples were damaged.

Wishes to Try
Lithia Treatment

Herbert Helmick of Pasadena is in
the city for the purpose of trying the
Ashland mineral springs for his terri
BILE disease, non-assimilation and kid
ney trouble. He says he has heard
of the wonderful curative properties
of the springs and would like to try
them. He is thirty-three years old,
weighs 81 pounds with heavy clothes
on. and is five feet seven inches in
height. He has very little money and
asked that some one or some group
of men interested in the springs send
him out there to camp for a while
and furnish his grub, etc. An effort
will be made to have this done. If
the waters do him any benefit, it
would be a great advertisement for
the mineral springs, for he is almost
living skeleton.

Human Interest u
Photo Play

However much we may cry
peace" there will always be admira-
tion for courage, and the human
heart will never cease to beat quick
er with the portrayal of human pas
sions in hot encounter. Love and
hate, human rights and property
rights, freedom and slavery, justice
and injustice will still face each
other and grapple in fierce struggle
for supremacy until the, millennium
appears. Such story is told in the
moving picture drama, THE Spoil
ers," which will appear at the Vining
Saturday afternoon and evening.
There are nine reels of swift devel-
oping drama. The characters are
drawn from the every day life of
Americans placed in circumstances
which call forth the best and worst
in human nature. The photography
is excellent and the staging unsur-
passed so far in the moving picture
world. It is a great human story
told of people with rich red blood in
their veins, facing supreme difficult
ties and fighting with sublime or de-
monias fierceness as well as patience
to maintain their position in the
world-old struggle for power

Permission Takes
Two Trophies

All lovers of beautiful flowers
should avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity and inspect the wonderful dis
play arranged in the windows of Rose
Bros There some of the most per-
feet specimens OF dahlias can be-
seen, of all varieties, shapes, styles
and colors. s. Permission, while a
dealer in granite by trade, has the
characteristic Englishman's love for
flowers, and as a result of that trait
has produced these wonderful speci-
mems.
Also exhibited in the window are
the two trophies he took at the Med
ford Rose Show, namely, the Villas
trophy and the Southern Pacific tro-
ply. These are beautiful loving cups
and will make a desirable addition
to his already extensive collection.
Mr.. Permission had the most beautiful
roses on exhibition at the show.
Earlier in the season he took cups at
the Portland Rose Show. Ashland
can we'll be proud that she can raise
such beautiful flowers. Their culti-
walton should be more extensive by
the residents of the city.

Pacific Highway
We'll Under WaV

The Talent-Ashland section of the
Pacific Highway is being rapidly con-
structed. According to the account
of a Talent citizen, the grading is
now completed, the only thing re-
manning to be done being the putting
on the asphaltum. The roadbed will
be allowed to settle thoroughly, and
then the asphalt will be put on in the
usual manner. Motorists in Talent
and Ashland are looking forward to
the time when they can MUNICH along
the road without watching out for
fear of breaking springs or skinning
tires.
The decrease in expense for tires
alone will be no small item in one
year among the auto owners of the
city.

Melons Crowd Out
California Product

The Rogue River Valley watermel-
ons have put the California product
off the local market. For some time
shipments were received from the
south, but the local melons have
proved far superior and as a result
the local melons are bringing five
dollars a ton more than the Califor-
mia melons Local merchants are re-
fusing to handle outside melons and
those now on the market are entirely
raised in the valley.
If every other product in the val
ley could be given the same prefer
ence the Rogue river will soon come
into its own. This kind of co-opera-
tion will build up any community.

Electrical Storm
Causes Damage

Wednesday evening during the
electric storm, lightning did some
damage at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Dodge. A shock blew out
the fuses in their house, burned out
all the tungsten globes and melted
the zinc at the joining in the kitchen
sink. Mrs. Dodge was standing at
the sink at the time the shock took
place and was naturally greatly
frightened. If she had been touch
ing the sink in all probability she
would have instantly met death, in
the opinion of the electrician, for the
charge had knocked down wire car
rying three thousand volts. The sink
was blackened by the electrical
charge passing through it.

Desperate Fighting
On Belgian Frontier

Paris, Aug. 27.-Desperate fight
ing is still raging along the Franco
Belgian frontier. There are places
where the Germans have forced their
way twenty-five miles across the
boundary. The war office withheld
its usual announcement.
War Minister MilIerand's assur-
ance that the preparations for the de-
fense of Paris were only precaution-
airy failed to prevent widespread
alarm.
1t is reported trains are already
being loaded in the country with
enormous quantities of provisions
destined to enable the capital to
withstand a prolonged siege.
Many people fear the Germans had
turned the allies flank and were
driving them into the city.

Day to Pay Taxes

August 81 is the last day to pay
taxes for 1913 and escape delin-
quency. No penalties will be charged
those who pay up on that date their
second half of the taxes.

ton of the recently enacted tax law,

to the date interest should be COM
puted from, in paying taxes after de-
linquency, the state tax commission

of the several sections in conflict, de-
cided upon the following instructions,
which will govern the collection of
taxes in the sheriff's office after Sep

All taxes remaining unpaid on the
first day of September shall become

Upon all taxes so delinquent there
shall be charged and collected pen
atty of 10 per cent, and interest at
the rate of 12 per cent per annum
on such taxes from the date on which
they become delinquent, until their
payment.
This penalty applies to taxes as
originally charged, and is not in addi-
ton to the cumulative penalty of
per cent a month applying during the
five months prior to September / the
date of delinquency. The 10 per cent
for delinquency supersedes and takes
the place of all prior penalties.
