My room ON thG second floor rocked

the building could not hold together.
After awhile | grew accustomed to
the motion and the noise OF breaking

terrific crash right by my ear brought
me up with a start. The sheet iron
shutters of my windows had finally
succumbed to the fury Of the gale and.

In through the crack between the re-

hurled 1t clear across the room on to
my bed and then seized the bed and
bounced 1t savagely up and down.
Then part OF the roof took leave and
slid past my window with the nerve
racking clatter of coal pouring into an
empty steel bin.
BY dawn the typhoon was satisfied
with what 1t had done and moved on

When Buzzards Arc Helpless.

Some of natures most active crea-
lures show strange helplessness under
certain conditions. Place buzzard in
n pen six or eight feet square entirely
open at the top. and the bird will be as
absolutely prisoner as If 1t were her
metlcaly sealed In the Enclosure. This
Is because buzzards never begin n
flight from the ground without starting
on a run Of three or four yards II
they cannot have that preliminary run
they either cannot or will not attempt
to fly, and so buzzard will remain a
prisoner for life in d Jail with wide
open top.
So with the bumblebee. One of these
lively insects dropped into n goblet or
tumbler will remain there always I'M
less taken out, because 1t never notices
the means Of escape at the top.-New

Movement For
Valley Irrigation

Steps toward the securing of irrl-
CATION in the Rogue River Valley,
entailing an expenditure of over two
million dollars by the Roguelands
company, will soon be taken, and a
campaign launched to secure signers
to twenty-year contracts among the
landowners. All portions of the val
ley north of Talent will be covered.
The irrigation committee of the
Fruit Growers League, consisting Of
Messrs. Beckwith, Anderson, Sumner
and Parsons, announce that the canal
expects to be able to present
in the immediate future and irriga-
tion contract to the land owners Of
the Rogue River Valley, containing a
twenty-year claim for payments. The
contract will provide a water right
at $50 an acre and an annual main
tenance fee of $3.50 per acre, the
landowner being given from three to
five years to make the first payment,
the payments to extend over a period
of twenty years.

Camping Ground
Facilities Needed

At the meeting of the council
evening the matter of pro-
viding suitable camping grounds for
the next springs campers and auto
lists was brought up by Mayor John
son. He believed that such a thing
should be instituted and should be
under the especial supervision of the
city. A committee was appointed
some time ago, but had not been able
to come to any satisfactory arrange
ments for camping sites. The mayor
was of the opinion that the place
provided for the travellers by auto
should be able to accommodate one
hundred cars, for there is but little
doubt that during fair year, and as a
result of the fine highway, hundreds
of campers will go through the city,
The matter was discussed by the
councilmen, all of whom were heart
lily in favor with the movement. II
was brought out that these camping
grounds ought to be advertised by
means of billboards within a radius
of fifty miles along the highways,
On the campgrounds it was thouhgt
to supply drinking taps of city water,
and Mayor Johnson thought taht it
would be a good idea to provide free
wood for the auto campground. The
plan was to have the team and auto
campgrounds separate.
The campground proposition is now
in the hands of the committee, who
will take action.

Supervisors Letter
To Boys and Girls

While several of those sending eX-
hibits from Ashland to the state fair
received prizes, yet there were neces-
sarily some who did not get prizes.
Supervisor Peterson has written the
following letter and asked that it be
published to reach those boys and
girls who sent exhibits:
"To the boys and girls who have done
industrial club work in Jackson
county, or who entered exhibits at
one of our fairs:
For the present year the fair sea-
son is over, having closed with the
state fair at Salem. Many of you
won prizes at the different places.
Some of you were disappointed in
this respect, although you did splen-
did work. But trust that those of
you who won no prizes will not be
discouraged You have not failed.
Someone else did better than you,
that's all. Just remember, Real fail
ure is not for the boy who fails once
it's in not getting up there's proof
of the Ounce So if you dill not win,
make up your mind that next year
you are going to give the other fell
low a harder race than he had this
year.
If you made real effort to pro-
duce something, but did not get a
single prize at any of the fairs, your
efforts have not been in vain. The
greatest prize of all and the one that
will really stay with you is the great.
er efficiency that you have gained
through experience. If you were in
the potato-growing contest during the
past season and stuck to your work
faithfully, you surely know more
about potato growing now than yol
| did year ago. The same is true il
you followed any one of the clul
projects. The knowledge and skill
that you have gained through YOU
4 efforts and your experience and tn,
Y zeal interest that you have acquired
4 for the work may prove of untolC
value to you in time to come. A
any rate you are better prepared t,
enter the race next year than yo'
would have been had you not trie,

First Big Show
Is ''Baby Nine

"Baby Nine" Margaret Mayos
play of a thousand laughs, which kept
New Workers in convulsions of laugh
ter for one solid year at Dalys Thea
tire, and which duplicated its New
York success at Sir Charles Wynd-
hams Criterion Theatre, London,
will be presented at the Vining Mon
day, October 10.
Any play or drama in which
mother or husband, or real home hap
penings are strongly depicted, is al
ways of interest to theatre patrons,
but when the realisms and situations
make genuine comedy with mother,
father and babies as central figures,
and the whole abounds with extreme
fun-making and peals of laughter,
there can be but one result-success.
This term applies to the best and
biggest comedy play of modern times
baby Mine'-and which all man
ayers agree is the most genuine the
atrical find of years. The authoress,
Miss Margaret Mayo, got her inspira-
tion for her ideas and lines from a
newspaper article, and the play has
been whipped into shape so that a
genuine laugh factory is the result.
Baby Mine" is a play that has
been a positive and legitimate sue
cess from its first production. The
aim of the authoress and producer
has been to create fun, merriment
and laughter, and they have succeed
ed almost to the limit.
There has been nothing so strong
as fascinating and intense comedy,
during the present age at least. This
comedy is a sensational success, as it
abounds with situations and fun that
produces cyclonic outbursts of laugh
ter. There is unbridled gaiety crei
ated all the time, and there is not a
dull or solemn moment in it.
The methods and acting of the
young mother, and the deluded young
husband, are close to real happiness
and impress most of an adult audi
ence personally. 1t is rib-expanding
fun and merriment, and the senti-
ment is so strongly fascinating that
many are willing to see Baby Mine
over and over again.
Everyone should make use of the
opportunity and accept such pleasing
stimulant and health restrictive as
this big comedy affords, which is
sending a gale of laughter around
the world

Subject Of White
Slavery Discussed

DR.. f. II. Essert, the president of
the International White Slave AssOci-
alton, is giving some stirring lectures
at the Baptist church. Sunday after
noon he addressed a large crowd of
men at the church on "A National
Peril-the Taxpayers Burden" and
his lecture was very stirring indeed.
His is a campaign for the abolish
ment of the terrible white slavery.
He presented some staggering facts
and figures concerning the traffic,
and brought into light some of the
plans that the traffckers are making
for the fair year in 1915. He brought
out the fact that the person voting
wet this November was merely giving
the white slavers better chance, as
white slavery and saloons are hand
maidens of one another.
Sunday evening he addressed a
large audience, using as a subject of
the lecture THE Blacklist Crime in
History" All the religious organiza-
tions were asked to join in this SER
vice. This afternoon at 3 p. m. he
addressed women only, while this
evening he will speak on the subject
of "The Sacredness of Parenthood. "
These lectures are absolutely free and
everyone is invited.

AutoiStS Repair
Jackson Hill Road

Friday morning, at the request OF
the Commercial Club, about thirty
five autoists and good roads enthusi-
asts gathered on the Jackson hill
road to smooth down the highway
At this point the road is very rough
and makes it difficult for the cars
to make the hill on high Also the
rocks were very bad on tires.
All the workers pitched in with
pick and shovel and removed the
sharp rock and put a smooth coating
of dirt over most of the road. They
repaired the extremely rough patch
of highway across the covered bridge.
Mr.. Boyd was even so enthusiastic
that he drove clear to Talent and
back, claiming that he has fixed all
the bad spots between there and
where the rest were working. Every
one enjoyed the work hugely and
many blisters resulted. ID. d. Good
used his big steamer to haul workers
and shanghaied many innocent by
standers from the city streets and
made them go to the scene of action.
In a month or so the smoothing oper-
alton will be repeated, and then a
smooth road is assured. The paving
will probably not join up with the
railroad track until spring.

National Apple Day

October goth is National Apple
Day. The Portland Commercial Club
and the Oregon Development League,
realizing the critical situation of the
apple market in Oregon, are planning
to throw all the strength of their
combined support to the enlivening

they are asking all the commercial
clubs and fruit associations through
out the state to advise them what
supplies of seasonable apples the diff
ferent communities are arranging to
send to the Portland market at that
time. The letter received by the
Ashland Commercial Club reads in
part as follows:
What supplies are you arranging
to send to market here at that time,
or what stocks have you that would
be seasonable? Prices, as you know,
are low and trade very sluggish all
over the country, but it is hoped to
make the week commencing October
Is the biggest apply-buying week
that Portland ever knew and get ap-
pies to the consumer at attractive re-
tail prices. The time is short Please
write your advise on this movement,
with any suggestions as to the cam
paign, and specific information asked
for above, at once"
Will those who have apples that
are seasonable for sale please inform
either the Commercial Club or the
Fruit Association in order that we
may cooperate in this movement and
help you find market for your ap-
pies?
