Chautauqua Park Bazaar.

The Chautauqua Park Clubs ba-
zaar and exhibit was a pleasing al
fair, and was a great success, esthet-
fcalIy perhaps more than financially.
Chautauqua hall was tastefully deco
rated with ivy and chrysanthemums.
There was beautiful display OF
hand-paintel china by Mrs. Swigart,
Mrs Hall and Mrs. Clark Bush. Miss
Ora Patrick showed the fooled leath-
or work, which was very beautiful.
This work is said to be very fascinat-
ing and besides is something new IN
Ashland. The art itself is of ancient
origin, the old monks having used II
to make covers for their old books
written in the monasteries. Miss
Nellie Evan had a large and artistic
display Of photos, some hand colored
some OF the views having been TAX
en- in southern California, and pic
tured the old missions, etc.
Chester Stevenson also had a flint
photo exhibit and artistic arrange
ment OF calendars. Cliff Payne ant
Elliott Patterson of the Camera Clul
made an extra fine display of excel
lent photographs.
Miss Mabel Russell and Mrs Bene
dict arranged a splendid exhibit o.
oil paintings, and Mrs. Jennie Gree
had a fine display of water colo
work and had a painting of Crate
Lake in both oil and water color me
diums. tH

Many Turkeys
In The Valley

Fred Herrin shipped Sunday from
his ranch across Bear Creek a con-
signment of dressed turkeys to San
Francisco. There were siXtyfour
birds in the lot and they averaged
dressed about fifteen pounds apiece
or a total of 999 pounds crate and
all. Charles Heney shipped bunch
the same day. These are merely two
of numerous shipments that have
been made from this locality--which
is peculiarly adapted to the raising
of the noble bird.
Numerous other fine flocks of tur-
keys are now being decimated
throughout Jackson county and II is
estimated that before the holidays
close the county will have supplied
approximately 5000 tables and that
! turkeys will have brought into the
county revenue of something like
| $25, 900. 1t is reported from Rose
burg that $4,000 turkeys have al
ready been shipped from Douglas
county. Baker also reports large
shipments.
Turkeys require range and Oregon
certainly hass it-especially the
ranching and dry farming regions
about Ashland. The young birds
also require dry weather in which to
mature. The season when younf
turkeys are getting a start is dry II
this region and they have every op
portunity to thrive and grow and ar
rive at a marketable stage-or tho
stage where wet weather does no
vitally affect them-before the rain.
; season sets in in the fall.
Mr.. Herrin and others in this re
gion are realizing a nice profit ol
! their turkeys this year and man
more people in this vicinity could d.
so II they would get wise to the fac
and plant" few turkey eggs alon
with fruit trees. The sooner peopl
realize that this excellent fruit coun
try is also adapted to innumerabl
other "crops" the sooner will "har
. times" be over.

hardly any liquor has been demanded

formerly drank little wine with
their meals now drink plain water.

Prof. Shafer
Tells of Normal

The following letter from Prof.
Harry M. Shafer-the last president
of the Southern Oregon State Normal
School-who is now located at Han
ford California, shows the different
way in which educational measures
and tax matters are handled in Cali
fornia. The appropriations referred
to came up as separate bills having
been passed by the last Legislature
and put on the ballot by referendum
petition. One of the chief uses of
the referendum in Oregon has been
to handicap the educational institu-
tions of the state The first attempt
of this kind having failed so disas-
trously in California, it is not likely
that it will be tried again soon:
1T was with sincere regret, cou-
pied with a feeling OF sadness, that
| received today your letter announc-
ing the loss of the normal school.
had hoped it would pass, although
our experience with the initiative
and referendum in California has
made us feel that the ideal form OF
government has not been attained in
those measures. In this state, too
the papers said In case of doubt
vote no.
However, there were sufficient
voters to pull through nearly al
meritorious measures, Prize fight
ing and the red light districts were
abolished, and the Royal Arch salooc
measure was defeated. Prohibition
was in too drastic form to carry
but will come later.
1--WE voted $1,S00,O00 for new
buildings at the State University
$3,000,000 for new state building
at Sacramento, $1,250,000 for stat
buildings at Los Angeles, a measur
to create a fund for a state buildin
at San Francisco, and $750,000 TO
, the Improvement of the state fai
grounds. These were all the meas
ures making appropriations and the
e all passed.
n "While the Ashland people ar
discouraged, if they can keep at i
they will yet succeed. They are ge
ting nearer to the end all the tim
y They are also creating education'
e sentiment which, when the tin
# comes, will sweep the state. 1t wi

Among the exhibits there was a
large display of needlework, one mo-
table example being a crochet insert

Drexel's New Duty.

Paris, Nov 16.-Anthony ]. Drexel,
head of Drexel & Co., Philadelphia
bankers, entertainer of European
dukes and princes, is serving with a
British ambulance as a stretcher
bearer under the rigid orders of a
cockney corporal.
When Mr.. Drexel visited Lord Rob-
erts Cecil, who heads the British
Red Cross here, and ordered fleet
of automobiles to assist in bringing
the wounded to Paris, Lord Cecil said
Drexel could be most useful as a
stretcher bearer.
Therefore, while stopping in the
best suite at the Ritz, Drexel is
forced to rise at 7 O'Clock every day
and place himself at the disposition
of corporal whose vivid language he
generally fails to comprehend. He al
ready has outworn one suit of khaki
from walking in the mud and
trenches.

which was, to all intents and pur- poses, like the registering machine which every operator used fifty years ago, before men had learned to read by sound. The dots and dashes were reproduced in a strip of paper, each, being raised above the surface of the paper by a point which pressed that part of the paper into a groove in a wheel which the taps passed over. The message was teIegrapfed in this part of the process at the ordinary rate of speed.
 Then came the second process-the transmission over the main wire. The transmitting instrument and the re- cording instrument, at opposite ends of the wire, were set going at a speed three times as great as that of the hand of an operator. The strip of paper with the message imprinted on it was started at a, rate which no man could read, but every impression was afterward found to be an exact dupIi- cate of those in the strip going through the transnitter. When this process was complete the paper from the recorder was brought over to the transmitter, and the letter machins was slowed down again to a speed equal to that of ordinary telegrap hing The transmitter was now assumed to be only an office machine run upon an. office circuit and entirely separate
 
 case in the third process-that Of talk ing the message from the transmitted copy and turning it into ordinary writ ing.
 The receiving operator sat before a typewriter and as soon as the tape was started through the trarsnitter he be- gan, to print out the message. When he had finished, the typewritten copy was compared with the original article and found to be exactly correct
 In practice, the manner in which the systennF would be used is this: Since the transnitter is able to send three times many messages in a. given time as single operator can send or receive, there would be three operators in each office to each wire In the sending office these operators would be kept busy making the tape copies of the messages by ticking them off on office recorders. As fast as their messages were ready they would be run through the transmitter, which would reproduce them at triple speed at the other end of the wire. There the three other operators would each take a part of the message and tran scribe it. there being on loss of time or other delay.
 It is evident that something of this nature must eventually come forth as the present-day demands on teIe- graphers, particularly during the re- cent Mexican and the present Euro pean wars, when they are required to- copy war news for hours at a time without relief or rest periods and with little or no consideration for their fi- nances, have raised havoc with ner- vous systems.

PARK THEATRE

(ESSV1oW.)
 The Star and Garter show, involving many of the scenes and material used last year, with much that is new and superior in the fun line opened for a three day run at the Park theatre yesterday. The action of the play is continuous and with Jack Conway in the Celtic character of Tim Riley, with his pig, brogue and happy fac ulty of getting into the Su1tan's gar dens and harem. and Billie Hill with her ability to put songs that appeal across the footlights for five and six encores and with blonde brightness and vivacity that comes directly from the West, the piece is bound to attract for. the rest of the week.
 In scenes laid in a hotel lobby, be- side the walls of the Sultan's gar dens, inside the, palace and with a beautiful rural scene in Holland de- picted,z before which pass in review the many and well costumed chorus numbers, and with song, dancing and speciality work the routine of the Star and Garter show is we'll devised. Among the numbers that took last night are Follow the Crowd s'Tur- kish Opal "My Croony Melody, 2 La La La~'' and By the Ric Grande.' Mabel Clarke is an ingenious soubrette, William J. Singer as Julius 1 Smith, Frank Thompson, Thomas Welsh. Ed Brennan, George Griffin and Kathryn Howard all demonstrated 1 their ability to please.

There are many big features that keep the audience in mysteries from the overture to the exit march.
 The Aerial Elopement,'' the big spectacular musical comedy with sew en, witty, pretty girls and three tall ented comedians in the cast bound right into favor on the opening chorus at every performance. There are two scenes both of gorgeous proportions and design and several attractive novelties with airships sailing far above the heads of the audience, that always demand interest.
 Tom and Stacfa, Moore, old favor ties. are given a reception at every appearance that establishes their popularity. A singing and talking act of a far different nature than has been offered locally in many moons is put over by this gifted pair. Nash & Evans appear in a refined comedy singing, talking and novelty dancing slzit; Nettie Gordon, a petite miss in a. sensational sharp shooting act won honors and Raymond & Hall in songs and dances won them tn- stant favor.
