The Gold of Autumn.

There is a story-loved by all Ger
manic people and happily by the rest
of mankind who knows it-of gold
shining at the bottom of the rushing
river of ages. No atom Of IL was ever
taken away, because 1t was guarded by
the immortal vigilance. Mans faith
has always been that the gold of au-
tumn between the shores OF the hills
will CLEAN in its place until the divine
forsakes It. He has always worshiptd
the god of the yellow corn.-Jamcs

BOHEMIAN OUTLINE.
Decorative Stitch For EmbeIlishing
Gowns, Blouses and Neglicees.

Bohemian outlining in fancy work is
nothing more or less than the use OF
the threaded run stitch. Two threads
are used. which may either be of con-
trasting color or two shades of one
color. The lines Of the pattern are
covered with a running stitch of one
shade. taking a short stitch under
meath and a longer one on top. The
other thread is simply slipped over and
under each stitch. producing a rope
effect.
This stitch makes Il decorative out
line and is very effective on grapes,
wolfe or crepe de chine.

at the outset you may chance upon a
strange, interesting creature, the
Water Ousel. Yes, it is a bird.
American Dipper is his other cogno-
men. He seems a mixture of snipe,
wren and lark. He is a. bird Of the
rushing current and foaming cascade,
but sometimes in winter will conde-
scend to visit the quiet pool in the
City Park. He will be oftenest seen
we'll up in the canyon standing on a
rock at the edge of the stream. You
may hear a merry song If your ap-
proach is quiet. On discovery he
will dance and bob, flirt his tail, wink
repeatedly and suddenly step off into
the water out Of sight, to reappear
away down stream.
Later in the winter when the snow
is deep in the mountains some morn
ing the yard will be full of birds not
like anything seen in the east. The
size and shape of Robin, the back,
head and tail a general greenish
slate color, throat and breast rich
orange, orange stripe on side Of head,
white and orange wing bars, and vel
vety black crescent on throat. A
royal bird. This is the Varied
Thrush, sometimes called Alaska
Robin. He Is quite shy at first, but
gets tanner toward spring. Does not
sing here. Has liquid whistling
call note, and a sort Of wiry spiral
vocal effort at times. His nesting

Tradition tells us that these

southern end of it in the vicinity of
Ashland in the early fifties, the fame
OF the waters of these springs grew.
There are several Oregon pioneers
now residing in Ashland who recall
the springs and partaking of the wa
ters as early as 1853. At that early
date settlers were yet few and far
between throughout the entire
Rogue River Valley, but the soda
springs above Ashland" were well
known, and indeed practically the
only known mineral springs in this
section.
The United States patent to the
land on which the Wagner Springs
are located was issued, in the name
of Samuel d. Whitmore, who had To-
Gated upon the property as home
stead presumably in 1859. The pat
ent was dated in 1864, but in 1862
Whitmore had given quitclaim deed
to Matthew Caldwell. according to
the records, and Caldwell located ad-
ditional lands adjoining. Caldwell
was a practicing physician at Phoe-
nix. of first-class professional reputa-
tion. He removed to the springs
built the first hotel, and practiced
medicine successfully, with the aid OF
the mineral waters, in which he had
much faith. He lived at the place

Gated ten miles southeast of Ashland
on the Ashland-Klamath Falls route
across the Cascades. But it's history
dates far back of that and it can be
modestly claimed for this spring that
it is the historic mineral spring of
this section of Oregon. For more
than sixty years people have Travelled
to it and drank of it's sparkling wa

bottling of this water hundreds Of
