TRAVELS FAR TO PREACH.
U. of o. Senior Makes Round Trip of
600 Miles Weekly.

University of Oregon, Eugene.-A
journey of 600 miles weekly for the
sake of preaching to his congregation
is made by Peter Crockett of Pendle-
ton, Ore, a senior at the University
of Oregon.
Crockett is a good type OF the all
round man. His pastorate is at
Wasco, Ore, in Sherman county, and
he leaves Eugene each Friday night
for Wasco, returning early Tuesday
morning. 1t is 1872 miles from Eu-
gene to Portland and about 1S0 from
Portland to Wasco, a trip of some
800 miles each way by rail.
His regular fourth-year studies
and his pastoral duties do not repre-
sent Crockett's capacity, however.
Two years ago he was star debater
and this year will compete in the
university oratorical contests. He is
on the university soccer football
team, and all next semester, although
he expects to carry % hours Of work
where the average student carries
only 16, he proposes keeping up his
heavy round.

Obituary.

Mrs D. F. Fox passed away at her
home in Ashland at a. m. January
90 and was laid to rest in Ashland
Cemetery Friday, January 23.
Deep sorrow and gloom have en-
tered the home, which was always
made bright and cheerful by her
presence. Death has removed from
our midst a loving, devoted wife, a
dear friend and neighbor.
Mrs. Fox, who for more than twen-
ty years has been a resident Of Ash
land, and with whom we have been
intimately acquainted for nearly a
score of years, was not only our cher
ished friend, but loved by all who
knew her. The whole community has
lost the influence OF noble and gen.
erous life, which endeared her to a
wide circle of friends and acquaint-
ances. She was unselfish to the ex-
treme, always preferring the COM
fort Of others to that of self, and in
any way in which she could minister
to the wants OF those around her,
she was ever anxious to lend help
ing hand.
A commendable characteristic of
her nature was her love for dumb
animals, the horse and dog being her
favorite pets, they always receiving
the kindest treatment from her
hands.
The malady which was the imme-
diate cause of her passing away first
made its appearance about two years
ago. With great patience she brave
ly fought the battle for life, though
fully realizing the probable outcome
of the struggle, and often said that
if it be the will of God, she was not
only resigned, but willing and
anxious to 80.
OF her it can be truly said, she
lived noble life and died in perfect
peace.
The sympathy of loving hearts go
out to the bereaved husband, who
has been untiring in his efforts to
brighten her entire life and alleviate
the sufferings of her last days; and
to the devoted niece, who, as soon as
she learned of her aunt's condition,
came a long journey to be with and
care for her favorite aunt and girl
hood chum, and who wearied not in
her efforts to do everything possible
for the comfort and happiness OF the
one she loved so we'll.
A FRIEND.

Mrs. Combs Dies at Talent After
Long Illness.

Mrs. Sarah Jane Hastings Combs
died at the home of her son near
Talent Saturday morning, January
"a, after an illness of about eight
months, death being due to heart
trouble and general breakdown
caused by old age.
Mrs. Combs was born in New York,
October IA, 1898. In 1856 she was
married to James Nelson Combs. The
couple moved to Oregon in the early
'70s, locating in the Willamette Val
ley near Albany, where they lived
for about twenty-five years. In 1896
the family moved to Ashland, where
they have lived until three years ago,
when they came to Wagner creek
near Talent.
Her father was a Baptist minister
and she was a member of that church
from early childhood She was the
mother of thirteen children, the ten
which survive her being Mrs. Flor
ence Conn and Emmert Combs of AL
bany, Ore; Mrs. Lucy Mcdonnell,
Alba, Ore; Frank Combs, Stockton,
Cal; Leonard Combs, Eureka, Cal; =;
Rodell Combs, Ripon, Cal, and Dan
iel and Fred Combs, both of Talent.
The funeral services were held at
the home of Fred Combs, with whom
she had lived for several years. Rev.
Reames Of the Talent Methodist
church officiated.
She was patient throughout her
long illness and was loving mother
and faithful friend. Besides the fam
lily she leaves a large circle of
friends to mourn her loss. Inter
ment in the Wagner Creek Cemetery.

Sacred Concert.

Under the leadership of Prof.
Howell Isaac, the Christian church
choir will give another sacred concert
next Lords day evening. The last
one was so good that many said the
choir could not do as well again, but
the director and his choir are sure
they can do better. Miss Foster has
returned from her eastern trip and
will be with them. She and Ray
Stoner sang a sweet duet Sunday
morning. Miss Florence Clark of
Medford, who delighted the last con-
cert audience with her fine violin
solos, will be with the singers again
Sunday evening. Her music is of
special interest to the young people,
also those who could not get in last
time should go early. Mr.. Browning
said yesterday that he wished every
one to bring at least 25 cents with
them. He will have an unique sug-
gestion to make in regard to it.

Discussed Medical Examination.

At the meeting of the West Side
Parent-Teacher Circle Tuesday after
noon the principal topic was medical
inspection in the public schools, an
excellent article in favor thereof be-
ing read by Mrs. Campbell. The dis
cussion was led by Professor Briscoe,
who stated that while much good
could doubtless be done in Ashland
by medical and dental examinations,
the need here was nothing as COM
pared with the larger cities. Ash
land, he said, had no such problems
to solve as was the case of the larger
cities, the figures for which are given
in the published reports. Ashland
has no slums and little foreign pop
ulation, and none Of it of an ignorant
type. The board might with pro
priety have pupils examined for de
fective teeth, vision, hearing, etc.
| but its duty ends there. The treat
ment must be done under the direc
tion and at the option of the parent
Except in cases of contagious diseas,
the authorities would have no powe
to bar any child from school because
of refusal to have him or her treat
ed In the case of INDECENT parents
it would be up to the district to pa!
for treatment if desired. He believed
an examination would call the atten
tion of parents to troubles needinl
attention, but this was as far as tn,
school authorities have any right t
go.

Funeral of Mrs. David Fox.

The funeral services of Mrs. David
Fox were held Friday afternoon at
o'clock at the residence on Hargadine
street. The services were conducted
by the readers of the Christian Sci
ence church, and the hymns, "Abide
With Me" Shepherd, Show Me How
to Go" and Lead, Kindly Light
were sung by A. l.. Strickland. The
floral offerings were beautiful and
profuse. Interment was in Ashland
Cemetery.

Basketball Game.

The basketball game at the armory
Wednesday evening between the mill
tia team and the Medford Models
was an exceptionally fast and snappy
game for SO early in the season
Lovers of good, fast, scrappy game
certainly missed a good one. Those
who did brave the heavy rainstorm
were amply repaid for their trouble.
The score would seem to indicate
a very one-sided game, whereas the
reverse was the case. The poor con-
dtion of the men was responsible for
several bulls in the play, but most
of the time the play was fast.
The Medford team proved them
selves thorough sportsmen. One OF
the most pleasant features of the
game was the absence of any dis
agreements or even questions as to
rulings. They played with our ball,
asked us for a referee and played
straight, clean, basketball to win;
made no complaint of their defeat
and certainly left the impression that
they were true sportsmen. Ashland
will be given return game in Med
ford in the near future.
The militia team promises to be q
very strong aggregation before the
season is over in spite of the loss OF
Captain Phillips. Millard Grubb was
chosen captain to take his place.
They have a game scheduled with
Dallas for February 81 at the arm
ory. The Dallas high school team
will be strengthened by Pebo Shaw
and others of that town of basketball
fame. The San Francisco Olympic
, Club team desire game here which
will probably be announced later.
Many other games are being ar
ranged for, so the people of Ashland
will have an opportunity to see many
good games this spring on the best
floor in southern Oregon.

Ashland VS..
Cottage Grove

y
In the first game to be played on
the local high school floor this sea-
son the Ashland high school basket
tossers triumphed over the basket
shooters from Cottage Grove Friday
evening by the close score of 10 to
IA. The game was even more inter-
esting than the score would indicate.
although the Ashland team was never
on the short end of the tally. Once
during the second half the scoring
stood 14-14, but Fraley's converted
free throw which was followed by a
field basket and Spencer's basket put
the game well on ice for the locals
and they managed to hold the north
erners down for the rest of the game.
Cottage Grove succeeded in con-
verting only four field baskets for a
total of eight points, the rest of their
score being gained by converted free
throws on fouls. Ashland, on the
other hand, garnered eight field bas-
kets for a total of 16, while three
successful free throws made up the
final total. The game was clean, al
though a good many fouls were
called, and the playing of the Ash
land boys was much faster and better
than in the recent Yreka game.
The stars for Ashland were Spen-
Ger and Fraley, although it must be
said that the whole team played good
ball, and the visitors shining light
was Fulmer, their right forward
who shot two field baskets and con-
verted five of seven three throws
Spencer for Ashland shut his man
out of single basket while he him
self threw four. Fraley did some
nice work at converting free throws
and brew two beautiful baskets at
good distances from the goal.
dlldCS oldi lSu inc game dJ TlSHl
forward for Ashland but was relieved
by Riley about the middle of the first
half. The scoring started when Fra
ley succeeded in registering one point
for Ashland on a free throw and Ply
mate contributed two more points
with the first basket of the game
Cottage Grove retaliated with one
and the game became so interesting
that the score was hardly noticed,
Ashland always being in the lead by
small margin until nearly the end
of the half, when a sudden squirt net
ted points enough to give the home
team 1915 start for the second half.
The last half produced some tense
situations and at the first the crowd
witnessed slump in the locals play
ing while the visitors brought their
score to 8 on four successfAyfree
throws. Then Ashland came hack
with basket and Cottage Grove did
likewise and soon the score stood at
a tie. The visitors had a chance to
take the lead on throw from the
foul line but failed and Ashland got
busy by getting a foul and two field
baskets, at the same time holding the
ambitious upstate team scoreless,
and time was finally called with Ash
land on the big end Of the result.
