w. D. Hodgson lost his barn by

COW also was lost as result of the
flames. The fire was not discovered
until the barn was almost burned.
Some of the family were at home,
but being in the house failed to no

thought the blaze came from brush
fire above the house. Chief Van
Wegen, who is taking G. NJ. Robin

man, took the truck to the scene of
action, where they unloaded both
chemical tanks and put out the blaze.
The COW, which was imprisoned in

burned she had to be shot. Mr..
Hodgson had just purchased her the
day before. The barn was worth
about $500.

Bounty Given For
Each Rat Scalp

At the regular meeting of the coun-

thorized to give bounty of 3 cents
each for rat scalps. Also prizes were
put up for the person catching the
most rats between now and the first
of January, the prizes being S. and
81, first and second prizes respective
ly. All having killed rats are to
bring them to Mayor johnson, who
will give the bounties.
This measure was necessary be-
cause of the increasing number OF
rodents, which are rapidly becoming
a pest, Also the danger of bubonic
plague is great when so many Of the
filthy animals are around. Start the
rat campaign now. Win one of the
prizes offered.

Warning TO
Quail Hunters

Quail hunters will have to exercise
extreme care in their sport this sea-
son, says Game Warden Hubbard. In
the last year many Bob White quail
and Hungarian partridges have been
liberated and have Matched out in
much profusion. The season opens
October l on native quail, but is
closed on the imported birds. A
heavy fine rests upon the slayer of
the latter breeds.
The Bob White quail have a white
streak across the head and have no
topknot. The Hungarian partridges
show flash of red color when they
raise their wings and start into
flight. Hunters cannot be too care
full in distinguishing them from the
native birds, for the hunting grounds
will be rigidly watched, and a heavy
fine will be imposed on the violator
of the law.

Old Pioneer
Died Monday

John Benjamin Million was born
in Winona, Wis, June Is, 1914, and
died at the home of his son, Archie,
Monday, August 81 1914, aged sew
enty years, two months and sixteen
days.
He came to Ashland, Ore, with his
parents at the age of eleven and this
has been his home ever since. He
was united in marriage to Sarah
Baldwin, June 2, 1872. To them
were born four children. Two have
passed into the great beyond and two
are living. His wife died November
16, 1889. Mr.. Million has lived "A
very active life. For a number of
years he was stage driver between
Ashland and klamath Falls. For
over a year he has been sufferer
and unable to do anything, and dis
ease finally overcame the physical
body.
Mr.. Million was the oldest son OF
family of twelve children, nine OF
whom still survive him-Charles,
William and Joe of Ashland, Mrs.
Kentor, Mrs. Giddings, Mrs. Howard,
Mrs. Morgan of Ashland, Mrs Lyttle-
ton of McCloud, Cal, and Mrs. Bald
win of klamath Falls.
Mr.. Million was. after his wife's
death, for a time a member of the
NJ. +. church, and then lost the joy
of his salvation. In this he is not
different from many others, but the
door of salvation is open and we re-
cord with gladness his return to his
Lord and Master. At his own re-
quest and after examination and con-
| fession of faith in Jesus as his Saw
iour, Mr.. Million was received into
fellowship with the Presbyterian
church of this city on May Z, 1914,
and the communion service was al
ministered And his testimony and
faith in these numbered days has
been clear and unfaltering.
Thus closes the eventful life of an
other of the pioneers of southern
Oregon. And beneath the oaks and
pines, beside his life-chosen COM
panion and other relatives, we laid
him to sleep until that great day.
For it was the mission of Gods di-
vine Son to this earth OF ours to van
quish sin and defeat the author Of
death, and to invest humanity with
power to survive all shock and disas-
ter, and to confer upon us what the
grave can never rob us of-namely,
the life immortal.

Retirement of Allies

Abandoned by Diplomats

Paris, Sept. 3.-Despite the trans

the Allies has improved. The feroc-
ity of the German assault at the left

Poincaire, all civil government Off

nations have been transferred to Bor-

Good Exhibit
Of Local Fruit

Anyone who wants to send exhibits
to the state exhibit are requested to
bring some to the Commercial Club
office or call for tags and send the
exhibit to Portland, where it will be
given proper display and credit to
the community and the grower.
These tags carry the exhibit free of
charge and assure special care on the
part of the railroad employees while
in transit to the state show at Port
land.
James Mattingly has donated to
the Commercial Club exhibit fine
plate of Red Astrakhan apples.
There are several fresh fruit exhib-
its at the exhibit room now attracting
considerable attention by travellers at
the station. People who are travel

is being grown in the community and
more products are desired.
T. ]. Greer donated fine display
of Italian prunes and one Of Burbank
sugar plums to the Commercial Club
exhibit. The Italian prunes are ex-
ceptionally, fine and from the fact
they are grown on a city lot demon
strates the fact that fruit growing
pays on a small scale as well as to
the large grower.

these will be opened before the rainy
