Fish to Be
Placed in Lakes

Efforts are to be made for the or
ganization of Sportsman's Club in
Ashland-possibly using the present
Gun Club as nucleus. If this is
not done a Sportsman's Club will be
organized independently. The OBJ
ject of the organization is to pro-
mote the interests of hunting and
fishing for the attraction of tourists
and visitors who will come to Ash
land as result of the development
of our Mineral Springs. The idea
has been talked up a number of times
in recent years and was given fresh
impetus this week when it was an
nounced that eighty-five cans of
trout fry were headed this way from
the state hatchery. The eighty-five
cans-making nearly carload lot
were to have arrived today, but de-
livery was postponed until about
August first in order that Ashland
sportsmen might be better prepared
to handle them. The shipment this
week is being taken care of at Med
ford and a good many of the young
trout will be released in Butte creek.
When the shipment comes to Ash
loiiu IL 10 pl1hhCu W uoily Chby -llNC
cans, containing 1880 young trout,
to Lake of the Woods in, the hills
east of Ashland. In order to do this
three wagons will be requiref-as
autos cannot now make the entire
trip. The drive will be made by
night without stop and it will he
necessary for those handling the mat
ter to keep on the go from about
five-thirty in the evening until break
fast time the next morning in order
to cover the distance by team and
wagon. The fry released in Lake of
| the Woods will be of the rainbow
variety. The balance of the shipment
will be principally eastern brook
trout and will be released far. up
Ashland creek. 1T Is generally scon-
ceded that if Ashland is to establish
tourist resort it will be necessary to
keep her waters thoroughly stocked
with fish. Lake of the Woods is the
nearest lake of any consequence to
Ashland and is Ashland's by virtue
of contiguity. 1t is beautiful lake
and fine camping and fishing place
and it should be made the most of by
Ashland people who desire to see the
tourist resort project flourish. Al
present the road to it Is only good
for autos up to the last five miles
From there on to the lake the road
is exceedingly rocky and can be fol
lowed by team only with difficulty
There has been much discussion in
regard to the improving of this five
mile stretch of road-it having otter
been cited that its improvement
would connect the good roads o.
Jackson county and those of klamath
county and make shorter road be
tween the two. Recently Clay Bur
ton, who lives in the region reached
by this five miles of bad road, hal
, offered to remove the rocks and pu
. it in shape for automobile travel foI
the small sum of $3.50. This is
/ ridiculously small amount consider
ing the work he would have to do
; but the road would be of great bene
} fit to him-hence his generous offer
3 Ashland or Jackson county or tn
e Ashland Sportsman's Club ought t
8 investigate this matter and IL MI
: Burton can and will do what he say
: the $3.50 certainly ought to be forth
I coming.

Normal School
At Round Table

One of the most successful Round
Table conferences of the Chautauqua
season was held yesterday with the
Southern Oregon State Normal School
as the subject of discussion. Over
$50 were in attendance. Ben Shell
don had charge of the program and
in opening the conference stated that
there being but one side to the ques-
ton, the word discussion should give
place to symposium" for the days
meeting. He introduced Prof. l. E.
Vining as the first speaker, who most
eloquently plead the cause of the
Normal School as the cause of the
young people themselves. "The eff
cient citizen requires the efficient
trainer" was his text.
DR.. ]. H. Gilbert of the University
of Oregon followed with fine pre-
sentation of the problem from the
economic standpoint. He showed
that the state could not afford to
deny itself the advantage of the
trained teacher. His clear exposition
of the values received from moneys
now expended for public purposes, as
compared with the results that would
follow the expenditure of the same
amount under thoroughly competent,
normal trained teachers, was most
convincing and met with the hearty
approval of the large audience.
DR.. William Parsons of Eugene
was introduced and in a short, crisp,
ten-minute talk showed that it was
only the trained teacher that could
bring out of the child even the larger
part of the possibilities for good and
efficient citizenship. He emphasized
the fact that a school creates it's own
constituency, and cited Princeton
and Harvard colleges, the former of
which draws fifty-five per cent of It's
students from within forty miles of
it's campus and Harvard draws sixty
per cent from within fifty miles.
He stated that if there were three
times as many colleges in the United
States there would be twice as many
college students; if there were ten
times as many normal schools, prop
erly distributed, there would be
eight times as many normal students.
The fact that the Monmouth Normal
has only fourteen students from all
the eight counties of Southern Ore
gon was conclusive evidence of the
fact Every tendency of modern ed
ucational methods, eXemplified in
the university extension work, as we'll
as normal school methods in the more
progressive states, pointed to the
need of taking the opportunity to the
people instead of compelling them to
hunt the opportunity, oftimes at con-
siderable sacrifice.
Mr.. Sheldon closed the program
with a few statements of the position
of Oregon among the sisterhood OF
states in educational matters, and q
plea that the people of Southern Ore
gon should stand by this effort most
Loyalty in behalf of their children
He called for vote as to how many
of those present would give the move
their support, and the hearty round
of ayes from over $50 enthusiastic
people showed how convincing had
been the presentation of the case and
how unitedly these counties are in
favor of reopening the school.
Mr.. Buckner of the Dixie Jubilee
Singers favored the audience with q
fine solo, Were You There Wher
They Crucified My Lord"

Will Reorganize
Local Militia

Captain Harry Metcalf came down
from Cottage Grove the past week
and spent several days looking after
the interests of the state in connec-
tion with the Armory property and
the First Company Coast Artillery.
His visit was made necessary by the
resignation of Captain Spencer and
the consequent transfer of the prop
erty to the company's second officer,
First Lieutenant Clyde Dean. Cap
tain Spencer resigned on account of
his inability to attend to the duties
of the position without neglecting the
work on his ranch east Of town. The
company has dscont nued it's meet
ings for the summer as usual and
will not meet again until September
at which time a successor to Cap
tain Spencer will be elected.
When the fall meetings are re-
sumed strong movement is to be
inaugurated to recruit the company's
ranks, which are now somewhat de-
pleted. The roster contains the
names of about seventy men, but
nearly half of them are now out of
town attending school or engaged in
business.
A new commanding officer must be
elected from the present membership
or from the ranks of those who have
! formerly been in the service. The
absence of many present members
makes selection of the officer some
thing Of problem. There are be
tween twenty and thirty veterans o.

to command the company and whit

Hedges Back From
Imperial Valley

r. M. Hedges returned Saturday
from Imperial Valley California and
will be followed by his family soon.
He says he is back in Ashland to
stay, is glad to get back, and unless
the Lord wills otherwise he doesn't
intend to try any other climate. Mr..
Hedges owns an orchard east of the
city but went to Imperial Valley last
fall with a view to locating if the
country suited him and his family.
He says the winter was fine but it is
useless for a white human being to
try to make a home there in the
summer time-and it is mostly sum-
mer time.
For three weeks before he left his
place of residence in Imperial Valley
the thermometer stayed at 10 in
the shade during the day and there
was little Improvement at night. He
says everyone who can do so gets out
to the coast every few weeks to re-
cuperate and nobody stays except
those who absolutely have to. The
country is without trees except those
that have been planted and are raised
under irrigation and there is not a
living stream of water in the country
the only water being that in the
irrigation bitches.
Mr.. Hedges relates numerous anus
ing anecdotes in regard to the coun-
try and says their authenticity is
easily verified. One of them is that
eggs left lying around in sheds or
under buildings will hatch in the reg
ulation period without ever having
been set upon. He tells of friend
of his who picked up a canteen of
water that was lying in the yard and
dropped it with a "yelp," declaring
that someone had filled it with boil
ing water. A thermometer was thrust
into the canteen and it was found
that the water was at 1872 degrees.
