Two Thousand at
VeniS0n Barbecue

The little town of Rogue River, or
Woodville, as it was known in for
mer days, was host to a crowd of
fully 1000 people Saturday, the at
traction extraordinary being a veni-
son barbecue. The hunters of the
Rogue had secured the hills for days
prior to the big day and a great suf-
ficiency of the toothsome buck meat
was on hand. Games, baseball,
bucking bronchos, the childrens in
dustrial fair and other features filled
the day and big dance lasted well
into the morning hours. AS a result
of the success scored, Rogue River
will make the venison barbecue an
annual event.

Story Of Parks
In 0regOnian

The Sunday issue of the Oregonian
contained a story on Ashland's park
system written by M. j. Duryea. The
story was illustrated with four cuts
of photographs of scenes in the vari-
Gus parks, beautifully arranged by
the artist of the Oregonian, and COW
cred nearly half page of the paper.
Mr.. Duryea sent this story to the
Oregonian in response to a direct
request from Mr.. e. B. Piper, the
editor of the paper Mr.. Piper want
ed to show the interest the Oregonian
takes in the development of every
part Of the state, and to show its
good will toward southern Oregon
and Ashland, especially, by printing
a story of the work that is being done
here to make great resort by utiliz-
ing our splendid natural advantages.
The publicity department appreciates
the generous amount of space given
to this story by the Oregonian, as
well as this exceptional opportunity
to exploit Ashland's beautiful park
system in the pages of this great
1t is the intention of the
department to send marked copies of
Sundays Oregonian to prominent
people all over the country.
AS an evidence of the good i'm
preston this story has made the Tid-
ngs takes pleasure in printing the
letter from John NJ Scott,
general passenger agent Of the South
,rn Pacific Company:
Dear Mr.. Duryea: / have noted
with pleasure your fine illustrated
lrticle on Ashland in yesterdays
)regonian. This is fine work and
mother evidence of the fact that Ash
and is being put on the map. l
eed not say to you that such arti-
les are going to prove very helpful
n attracting the outside world to the
atural attractions OF your beautiful

World Wide Fame
for Ashland Peaches

While it is growing late in the sea-
son, the late peaches are still at their
best, and Ashland has a chance to
establish reputation for Ashland
peaches at the San Francisco exposi-
ton second to none, according to II.
%. Frohbach Mr.. Frohbach says:
There have been no peaches en-
tered from Oregon outside of jack
son county, and for that matter all
but two entries came from Ashland.
There is no reason why the Ashland
peach should not be to Ashland grow
ers what the Hood River apple is to
the Hood River grower They de-
mand better price for their product.
Why should not the Ashland growers
get better price for their peaches?
They have the reputation, and | hope
that before Ions will be able to re-
port to you that our peaches were
given some good awards by the P. P.
|, Il. people"
Every peach grower is urged to
send in few samples OF his best.
The opportunity is there and must be
grasped now
Some wonderful specimens have
been sent to San Francisco and have
created a furore among easterners
and even Californians. Ashland
grows the biggest peaches in the
world and peaches which are not sur
passed in any way by any grown else
where. Lack of exploitation has pre-
vented the Ashland peach from be-
coming famous. Let every grower
do his part by sending carefully
selected and packed exhibit of his
best peaches to the exposition.
Mr.. Frohbach sends the following
word Of warning to shippers Of
peaches:
ITO the Peach Growers of Jackson
County.
Dear Sirs: Just a word of warm
ing. Be very careful in your selec-
tion of the late varieties of peaches
which you will enter for awards at
the Panama exposition, that there are
no peaches in the lot that have even
the appearance of having a split pit.
Split pits this year seem to be very
plentiful and our entries have had
their share of them the same as Cali
fornia. Yours very truly,
III. o. FROHBACH."

Elsie Janis at
Vining Tuesday

On Mary Pickford night the Vining
Theatre handed out over five hun
dred red hearts announcing the com
ing of Elsie Janis. Miss Janis will
appear on the screen at the Vining
tomorrow (Tuesday) evening in
Betty in Search of Thrill" The
prices will be 10 and Is cents.
1t is one extreme to another when
the mercurial Betty goes from a CON
vent atmosphere with its nuns, ma
donnas and chapel bells into the very
thick Of night life in New York. En-
elements follow thick and fast. She
experiences dress goods section in
a New York department store; a
chorous girls tryout after a perform
ance at the Gaiety; an after-theatre
fight over her at a cabaret; and
finally far too thrilling pursuit by
the police, who mistake her for an
escaped criminal. But maybe it's all
for the best. 1t finally teaches the
little heiress the great, big lesson
that if body can't find glamor at
home there's no finding it anywhere
else. So she settles down fully con-
tent at last with her position as one
of the girls of New York's 4OG, and
the long-sought glamor of life finally
dawns for her in the person of the
manly young clubman,
Jim Denning.

The crew of the Automobile Trail
Blazing Association of America ar
rived in Portland Saturday and have
commenced the work of putting up
direction signs on all of the automo-

The system of the association is to
mark by signs and colors. The let
ters r L x and three bars are used,

Claims Farmers
Shoot on Preserves

o. Winter was among the early
risers last Friday morning and re-
turned with limit bag of quail.
Harry Hosler and Chi Pearson came
back with well-filled bags, and Chi
brazenly admits having secured the
limit. None Of these gentlemen found
many pheasants and are scoffing at
the heralded plentifulness of the Chi
nese birds. Many complaints are
heard that the farmers keep hunters
away with game preserve signs and
then shoot the birds themselves
While the hunters do not object to
farmer keeping off hunters if he has
Established a preserve, they do OBJ
ject to paying license money and hav-
ing the money used to plant birds on
the so-called preserves only to be
shot by the owners.
On Sunday hundreds of hunters
were out and the entire country
side was secured in pursuit of the
elusive game birds.
The Medford Mail Tribune says OF
the opening Of the pheasant season:
Between 500 and 700 Chinese
pheasants were killed by hunters in
the Rogue River valley the opening
of the season Friday, and Sunday will
see further slaughtering of the birds
Que of nearly one hundred motor
cars checked by Game Wardens
Walker and Driscoll, the largest num-
ber of birds found was II, out of a
party of six. They were entitled to

Medal For MOrriSville Bow

A recent issue of a Syracuse daily
paper contained an extended account of
the annual wrestlers' tournament at
Syracuse University, which is of especial
interest to many Morrisville people, as
Heber Best, son of Rev. and Mrs. w. T.
Best of Morrisville, was one of the prom.
inent contestants, in fact one of three,
who were the only competitors to re-
ceive decisions and medals. When it is
understood that Syracuse University
ranks high among the leading institu-
tions in the country, the Morrisville
boys victory in this line OF athletics is a
significant one.
In an extended report special reference
was made to Bests work as follows:-
Of the featherweig Best wrestled
Field, defeating him. Kohn was matched
with Fairbanks and received the decision,
and Bird threw Kaufman Kohn was
matched against Bird and threw him.
In the semi-finals, Bird wrestled Best,
and the latter was victor In the finals

fall. Then both men wrestled thirteen
minutes to draw.

ing. Although the porch was fes-
tooned with weeping willow, 1t did
hct have a depressing effect upon the
guests, as their mood was far re-
moved from tears. The moonlight
and shadows were so suggestive Of
thrills that Mrs. Whited was induced
to relate her own actual experience
of real live" mummy, which she
did in such a realistic way that We
could feel its CLASSY eyes. Some of
the class showed great histrionic
ability in their playing Of Il Have a
Dagger" The ice cream and cake
were pronounced to taste truly home
made, which the hostess took as a
very doubtful compliment.
