Boston Paper
LaudS County

The following clipping is taken
from the Boston, Mass, Christian
Science Monitor in an article ON the
great Pacific highway:
Oregon has been slow in waking
up to the necessity of good roads, al
though its people are among the most
progressive in the matter of politics
and education. Jackson and Multno-
nah counties are the only ones to
have rendered valuable aid to the
highway.
1.-TWO years ago a 100000 bond
issue was voted in Jackson county
for exclusive improvement Of the Pa
cific highway. Thirty miles are now
graded and seventeen hard surfaced.
Thirteen miles of the grading is over
the Siskiyou mountains and are
crossed on 6 per cent grade with
flat curves and a twenty-four-foot
roadbed. The Pacific highway has
eliminated the old mountain road
with its 30 per cent grades"

Camping Parties
Roam the WildS

Jake Casebeer, Ralph Hedges and
Lynn Purdin returned Monday from
Butte creek, where they had been en-
camped for week. Fishing was re-
ported as poor but camping as good
as ever.
When Sam Jordan was returning
from Crater Lake last Monday he
met John Volpe, Ollie Easterling and
Mac" Macarthur bound for the
lake. This party has been out for
some time and had many interesting
tales to tell. Volpe and Easterling
got lost and spent several distracted
hours in the untracked wilderness.
Mac is reported as being the official
chef of the party. but according to
Jordan stood in mediate danger of
losing his job at the time when he
saw them on account of putting too
many peppers in a pot of beans.

Film Fight Puts
Many in Hospital

Next Sunday and Monday evenings
the Lyric Theatre will show what is
conceded to be the best yet released
of the Mutual Masterpieces which are
making such hit with Ashland pic
ture audiences. "On the Night
Stage" with Robert Edeson, William
Hart, Rhea Mitchell and a supporting
cast of famous players is a strong,
virile story of frontier life and love
said to outrival The Spoilers" A
feature of the picture is a fight dur
ing which the tempers of the actors
got the best of their acting and re-
suited in a number of actors spending
two weeks in hospitals and the sus-
pension of rehearsals for that period.
A more realistic piece of photography
has never been secured. "On the
Night Stage" is a very expensive film
whose extraordinary merit warrants
a much higher price than the 10 and
10 cents admission which the Lyric
will charge on Sunday and Monday.

Australians Here
Next Week

Next Thursday, August 8, is the
date set for one of the most unique
and biggest entertainments of the
year in Ashland. The Australian
boys, thirty-five strong, who will be
the guests of the Civic Improvement
Club next Wednesday and Thursday,
will appear at the Chautauqua build
ing the evening of Thursday. The
boys have a thirty-one piece brass
band and big orchestra. The pro-
gram is made up of music, stunts
and other excellent features unique
in character. The Australian boys
are in America for the purpose OF
cleaning education by travel and
are the pick of the schools of Aus
tralia. Each and every member of
the party is star The visit of the
Australians several years ago led to
the forming Of strong acquaintances
between many Ashlanders and some
of the visitors. In fact, some of the
local people who entertained the Wis
iting lads are still corresponding
with them. There can be no doubt
but that Ashland will give these boys
a welcome royal.
The chief mission of the boys tour
abroad is to give the lads better
idea of the countries visited from
an educational standpoint and to
send official representatives from
Australia, a friendly and English
speaking country, so as to obtain an
insight into the customs and habits
of other countries and peoples; to
visit California's two expositions
and to unite more solidly the great
southern republic in bonds of lasting
with America.

in Entire State

M. o. wilkins, publisher of the
State Automobile Record, was in the
city today and stopped over last
night at the automobile camp
grounds. Mr.. wilkins says that this
camp here is absolutely the finest
thing in the state and that when au-
toists find out about it they will not
stop anywhere else in the valley. Mr..
wilkins said that when his party
reached Grants Pass and were taken
to their camp on Rogue river they
thought the zenith of camp perfec-
tion had been reached, but when they
arrived at the Ashland camp their
ideas were shattered. Mr.. Wilkins
complies quarterly record of the
state automobile registration and
puts out a monthly report. In the
course Of his work he covers most of
the state and will do a great deal
toward spreading the news of Ash
lands camp.

MedfOrd Pioneer
Commits Suicide

Medford Tribune; f. Ossenbrugge,
a pioneer of Medford, former city
councilman and treasurer of the Com
mercial Club, and large property own
er, committed suicide this morning at
his home, 4O1 South Riverside, by
shooting himself in the head with n
revolver. The act was committed be-
tween and o'clock. Notes left be-
hind indicate that worry over busi-
ness affairs, failing health, and the
fortunes Of the German army in the
great struggle prompted the deed.
Ossenbrugge was about 70 years Of
age and was well known throughout
the city and valley, where he had
lived !or twenty years. There will
be no inquest.
The body was found by DR.. Barber
about o'clock, when he went to
make his regular call Ossenbrugge
has been under a physicians care for
some time.
Ossenbrugge had been a resident of
the Rogue River valley for twenty
years, during which time he had been
engaged in the feed and implement
business. He retired from these pur-
suits five or six years ago, and de-
voted his time to his property inter
ests. He was treasurer of the Com
mercial Club for a number of years
and also city councilman for several
terms.
A daughter, Mrs. Walter Antle, and
l son living at Ruch survive. The

Bears Are Thick;
Bagleys Kill Three

The Bagley boys killed three out
of five bears last Sunday near the
Lindsay ranch in Dead Indian and
wounded another which got away
A posse was organized and went after
the wounded animal, which was a
big one, but were unable to locate
him. Bears seem to be very numer-
Gus in the mountains around Ash
land this year. There are no packs
of bear hounds at present in the
vicinity and old timers say that in
the absence of hounds hunters are
unable to get many bears, and there
fore the bruins increase in numbers.
Some say that there are more bears
around Ashland now than there were
ten years ago when several parties
owned packs of bear dogs.

Publicity Dept.
Activities Many

The publicity department has sent
ten albums of views of scenery in
and about Ashland to Mr.. John NJ.
Scott, general passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific Company. These
are to be placed in the observation
cars of the company. A similar al
bum has been sent to Mr. Frohbach
to be used in the Ashland lithia
springs exhibit in the Oregon build
ing at the exposition.
The department has received a
photograph Of the new springs ex-
hibit that has been installed in the
southern Oregon exhibit in the Ore
gon building. Judging from the pho
tograph this exhibit is very beautiful.
By using a small motor-driven air
compressor to force air through the
water of the spring it has been posi-
BILE to reproduce in realistic manner
the bubbling effect of our real
springs. Mr.. Frohbach writes the
department that the spring is attract
ing the attention of countless visitors.
The installation of this spring is part
of the activities of the present man
agement of the department.
The publicity director has ordered
and received a small cut of the front
cover of the new booklet that is to
be issued in a short time. This cut
reproduces the glass of water faith
fully. 1t will be used on envelopes
and letter heads, and it is the hope
of Manager Duryea that it will be
used by a great many of our business
men on their stationery. This glass
of water, so typical of Ashland's
greatest resource, is destined to be-
come the city's trade mark, for it is
going to be sent all over the United
States in the next few months.
The department will have little
leaflet descriptive of Ashland off the
press this week. These are to be
placed in the auto camp and in the
exhibit building at the station for
distribution to visitors and will be
used until the new booklet is out.
They contain a brief story of what
Ashland is doing to develop her nat
ural resources, and tell of our mani
fold attractions for the tourist.
twenty-five hundred will be printed.
