Ralph Parlette'S Lectures
Were Much Appreciated

The Elk, if it can be judged by
their first booking Thursday night,
have certainly got on the trail of
fine lyceum course for this winter.
Ralph Parlette was all and more than
he was represented to be, and the
people are still talking over his lee
ture. His forceful illustrations and
humorous SMILES were interesting
and compelling. His lecture was at
tended by large crowd and everyone
left the theatre saying that that one
lecture was alone worth the price OF
the season ticket. There is still
room for a few more seats in the
theatre for the course, and all who
have not bought their tickets should
do so as there are other great treats
in store for them. .
Sunday afternoon Mr.. Parlette re-
turned from Medford and delivered
his famous lecture, why ] Quit Ly-
ing" to a big crowd in the Methodist
church. The Sunday school rooms
were thrown open and even yet every
seat was taken. His lecture was hui
morous, but full of deep, penetrating

Eastern Tourists
Looking To Ashland

A letter to the Commercial Club
from Boyer's Transcontinental Tour
ist Company of Reading, Pa, states
that his company will have two tour
list excursions to the coast during
1915. The first will be through Ash
land on July 10 and he wants to
know whether Ashland can accom-
modate 100 guests as they pass
through. The other excursion will
consist Of two cars and will come this
way later
1t is through these booking agen-
cies that Ashland will get great bene-
fits when she is established as a re-
sort center. These tourist agencies
arrange all details of excursion trips
and make their hotel and resort
bookings before the excursion starts.
so that complete itinerary is ar
ranged in advance.
This is the second inquiry coming
from eastern tourist agencies during
the past two months. Ashland enter
tanned one couple on September 30
that was booked at the Oregon
through the Cook company of New
York
Making proper connection with
tourist agencies throughout the coun-
try will be one of the important
things to be worked out in forward
ing the publicity campaign for Ash
land as a tourist resort.

Liquor Campaign
In San Francisco

A rather unusual campaign for
prohibition is being carried on in San
Francisco by the Alpha Chapter of
Delta Fraternity, which is composed
of about one hundred high school
graduates who are now in business
or college. The members have al
ready secured in the past three
months two thousand converts to the
cause of prohibition and are expect
ing to reach thousand more before
November. The work is being car
ried on by personal canvass of their
relatives, friends and acquaintances.
Doctor Frederick Mahoney, a pro-
fessor at the Physicians and Sur
geons College, is at the head of this
movement. With his clinical work
at the college and among his patients
DR.. Mahoney has seen much expert
ence in the results of liquor and the
necessity for a wide campaign for
prohibition.
Augustus c. Linn. young lawyer
and orator, is assisting in this fine
work. Mr.. Linn is at the head of the
Prohibition League.
Doctors Mahoney and McMartry
aided the work by giving a series of
lectures in the college showing the
effects of liquor on the tissues of the
body.

A Beautiful Walk
For An Afternoon

One of the most beautiful littIe
trips suitable for an afternoons walk

to the old Mahan place. This is
reached by following Nutley street to
the top of the hill and then taking
the road that leads to the left. The

Normal Booster
In Ashland Today

w. S. Payne of Weston, who is
campaigning for the Eastern Oregon
State Normal School, is in Ashland
today. Mr. Payne has been travelling
through the state outside of Portland
for the past five weeks, practically
mailing a house to house visit and
distributing the yellow posters con-
tanning their claims, A separate COM
mittee is operating their campaign
in Portland and in the closing week
their committees will practically
flood the residences of Portland with
personal appeals and literature. Mr..
Payne says he heard of the campaign
being made in behalf of the Southern
Oregon State Normal at various
places and it is his judgment that
both schools will win. He was sur
prised at the small amount of knock
ing that was met with in this cam
paign.
Mr.. Payne was pleased with his
reception here. I'VE are co-operat-
ing with you in every way and appre-
ciate the broad spirit of the people
of southern Oregon on progressive
measures. All the southern Oregon
counties gave the Eastern Oregon
Normal fine majorities four years ago
and Jackson county gave us the larg-
est county majority in the state
Southern Oregon regularly votes
overwhelmingly for all the state edu-
cational institutions because it be-
lieves in them as matter of princi-
pie and does not do it merely for self
ish reasons. That is certainly high
spirit that is worthy of the respect
and consideration of the voters il
other parts of the state. However
the entire state looks upon Jackson
county and southern Oregon as con
tanning the most progressive people
in the state"
He will visit the teachers institute
tomorrow.
Weston's population is given a
447 by the federal census and
raised in a few weeks a campaigl
fund of $4,000. The sums wer
raised from its wealthiest citizens il
sums of $500, $3.50, $1OO, $50 an,
$25. This is a fine showing for
small town. Besides that, the friend
of the school are doing a lot of per
sonal work at their own expense.

truth. His words were power. He
likened religion to one of the first
gas engines that was ever put on the
market. 1t was always kicking and
backfiring, and alternately stopping.
He said that he used to own one of
these himself and gave practical dem
onstration before admiring villagers.
He afterwards found out that most
Of the contrariness was due to the
lack of proper spark. This, he said,
was what religion lacked in most peo-
pie, the spark of real insight to what
true religion was, rather than the
narrow-minded hypocritical religion
that the majority of ardent church
members carry around with them.
His words were a fire that did not
fail to convince. Ralph Parlette ap-
peared Sunday afternoon at the re-
quest of Mr.. Billings, and delivered
the lecture free of charge, merely for
the good that he thought it might do.
People are already wishing that
Ralph Parlette might be secured on
the next summers Chautauqua
course.

1t Was Coming to Him.

There is proprietor Of a shop in
the city, a man of most excitable
temperament, who is forever scoldlng
his clerks for their Indifference IN
the matter of possible sales.
One day, hearing a clerk say to a
customer, ''No, we have not had any
for a long time" the proprietor, un-
able to countenance such an admis-
sion, began to work himself into the
usual rage. Fixing a CLASSY eye on
his clerk, he said to the customer:
I'VE have plenty in reserve, mann;
plenty downstairs.
Whereupon the customer looked
dazed and then, to the amazement OF
the proprietor, burst into hysterica]
laughter and quit the shop.
What did she say to you?' de-
manded the proprietor of the clerk.

VICE PRESIDENT APOLOGIES.
Regrets Sneering Remarks About
Cafe Keeper of Same Name.

Vice President Marshall recently
voiced his annoyance over the fact
that one Thomas R. Marshall, form
erly of Ohio, who conducts a restau-
rant and saloon in Washington, Is
being confused with him in the de-
livery of mail. The vice president
suggested that he either would have
to change his name or go into the
gin business" His principal COM
plant was that various consignments
of "wet goods" we're being delivered
to him at the Shoreham Hotel.
The Thomas R. Marshall who runs
the cafe is quite person in Wash
ington. His place is frequented by
some of the most prominent persons
in the political life of Washington.
The proprietor lives in the fashion
able Northwest and when he read in
the newspapers that the vice presi-
dent was reported to have spoken
in a sneering manner Of his place he
promptly wrote a letter of mild re-
buke to the vice president, in which
he told him that at least three presl-
dents had been guests at his refectory
and that only recently prominent
senator had entertained number OF
his colleagues at a dinner there. He
added that he had an honorable war
record, was at one time an officer in
the revenue cutter service and was
respectable and respected.
The vice president wrote a courte-
Gus reply, half apologetic, in which
he said that he had spoken simply in
a humorous way of his namesake and
invited the restaurant keeper to
call on him at the capitol in the vice
presidents room at his convenience
and get better acquainted.
Don't send in your card, but walk
right in," the vice president wrote

BIRDS IN BIG BATTLE.
Flock of Blacks Declared War on
Sparrows and Won.

A flock Of 800 blackbirds, which
for the last week has been lowering
over that part of Harlem just above
Morningside Heights, arrived just at
sundown last evening in vacant lot
to the east of the subway station at
One Hundred, and Twenty-ninth
street and Broadway. With a tre-
mendous hubbub, as if matters of
vast importance were in the air, they
settled into the trees, whence, pres
emily, a small committee flew forth
and headed straight for the recesses
beneath the elevated platform, which
is some so feet above the street. In
this shelter are the winter nests of
some $50 sparrows.
The committee was received cold
ly, and as it's members dipped tanta-
lizingly down to the level of the
tracks the sparrows came forth and
drove them off. 1t was a declara-
ton Of war. Over from the lot came
all the blackbirds, chattering angrily,
and over the tracks and around and
about the station there was battle
in the air.
It was a bitter fight and a noisy
one and it lasted all of ten minutes.
The uproar halted the home-going
Harlemites on the platform and
brought forth from the saloons below
a crowd of gaping men who cheered
from the sidewalks and laid small
wagers on the outcome.
At the end Of ten minutes the spar
rows retreated into the darkness,
leaving behind them six Of their
number dead, while from the station
roof the blackbirds, twittered and
chirped their song Of victory.
