Anticipate Great
Tourist Travel

The Union Pacific railway an
nounces that in an advertising cam
paign to be conducted throughout the
east and middle west beginning with
January /, it will shout the glories
Of the scenic wonders of the north
west, including Crater Lake. The
war in Europe can not end in time
to permit Of foreign tourist travel,
and the railroads of the west are
looking forward to the greatest tour
ist travel of years during the coming
summer.
During the past year times were so
hard throughout the east that the
tourist travel was unusually light
despite the great exposition on the
coast, and as a matter OF fact over so
per cent of the attendance at the San
Francisco fair was from California.
With the good times now existing
throughout the east and the Pacific
coast the only Mecca left for the tour
ist, travel next year should be the
greatest yet.

TWenty-nine Boys
For Band Work

Twenty-nine boys, most of whom
were accompanied by their parents,
met with Carl Loveland, the new
band director at the city hall We'd
nesady evening to organize the be-
ginners' band work. Mr.. Loveland
expresses himself as more than
pleased with the turnout and states
that most of the boys either have in
struments or will receive instruments
from their parents. There is still
room for many more, however, and
every young man and boy in Ashland
who wishes to take up band work
should see Mr.. Loveland at once and
make arrangements to get started
with the rest. All OF the boys who
work hard and develop will be taken
into the regular Ashland band as
they reach the required degree OF
proficiency.
Parents of Ashland who wish to
get their boys started In music, and
the kind of music In which lasting
interest will be kept up by the boys,
will do we'll to see Mr.. Loveland and
discuss the matter with him. -

Start Movement
TO Bring Tourists

The Portland Chamber of Com
merce invites all Oregon civic and
business organizations to undertake
a great movement for the purpose
of interesting tourist travel to Ore
gon and the Northwest in 1916. To
secure a maximum of success the
movement must have the cooperation
of every organization within the
state. This is an all-Oregon proposi-
tion.
1t is to be known as Letter-Writ-
ing Week, beginning January II and
ending January 22. From Portland
alone it is figured that two million
letters will be sent out during these
six days Every merchant will be
asked to write so letters to Eastern
businessmen, friends and relatives;
every citizen will be asked to write
at least ten letters addressing them
to sections throughout the Feast,
South and North. In Portland these
letters will be gathered at noon each
day and deposited in a mammoth
letter box on the street, and photo
graphs of the great heap of letters
will be taken at the conclusion of the
week.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce asks the Ashland Commercial
Club to send delegate to Portland
to attend a great meeting on the
night of January to work out plans
for making a statewide letter-wrlt-
ing campaign.
Ashland should take up this CAM
paign with the hearty support and
cooperation of every man, woman and
child behind the work. Ashland will
receive a direct cash benefit from
almost every tourist who visits Ore
gon and 1t is up to the people of this
city to keep the scenery, mineral
waters and climate of Ashland before
the eyes and ears of the world in
every possible manner.
Ashland is a pioneer in the work
of making a commercial asset of
scenery and climate in Oregon and
no spot in this state has half the COM
bination of climate, scenery and
health-giving waters, which Ashland
can offer Name, if you can, an
other city or village in Oregon which
has more tourist attractions. Tourist
attractions do not mean the attrac-
tions altogether which the big cities
can offer. Tourists get those things
at home. But climate, scenery and q
variety of mineral waters they do
not have at home and cannot find
to equal Ashland's any place in
Oregon. Every Ashander can we'll
afford to ask himself few questions
about his home town and then write
the answers to his friends in the
east.

All Three Prizes in Letter Writing
Contest Won By Girls

The judges in the high school let
ter-writing contest met on Monday
night and completed the work of pass
ing on the merits of the letters en-
tered for competition. There were
fifty-three letters entered for the
three prizes offered by the publicity
department. All three we're won by
girls, Mildred Million taking the first
prize of s., Mary Mathes the second
of SO, and Myrtle De Carlo the third
of 81. The first ten in order were
the three prize winners as above and
Essie Glendinning, Gerald Gunter,
Harold Frohbach, Hazel Powell,
Glennellen Roberts, David Whittle
and Sam D. Koehler.
Several letters that we're ranked
high on the various points had to be
penalized because the writer's paid no
attention to the limit on the number
of words allowed under the condi-
tions of the contest. The limit was
300 words. The judges allowed fif-
teen words over this limit, and then
penalized letters one point for every
five words over 315. This was done
in order to be fair to those who care
fully revised their letters to bring
them inside the limit. Some letters
contained over 400 words, which in
dicated the student had not given
much thought to the conditions of
the contest.
Many of the letters are excellent
and are we'll worth reproduction.
The publicity department expects o
make good use of them.

Railroad To Coast
Looms Imminent

The Grants Pass-Coast railroad
which eventually will give the Rogue
River valley an outlet to the Cres-
cent City harbor, has been completed
with the exception of little ballast
ing, to the Waters Creek station.
This fulfills the Twohy Brokers' Com
pany's contract with Grants Pass to
build the railroad to Hays Hill within
six months time limit. Two trains
each way daily are now running over
the road.
R. B. Miller, formerly traffic man
ager of the Oregon-W Washington Rail
road & Navigation Company, is ru-
mored to be the new president and
general manager of the road. Mr..
Miller is one of the big railroad men
OF the northwest and his association
with the enterprise would seem to in
dicate that the Twohys do not intend
to stop with the construction now COM
pleted.
Another project, the government
aid for the Crescent City harbor, is
optimistically viewed as a result of a
telegram received in Grants Pass stat
ing that the board of army engineers
in its report recommended the har-
Dor for an appropriation to cover the
cost OF the breakwater, this cost be-
ing given at $49O,0O0. OF this
amount which it is estimated the
breakwater will cost, the report
makes its recommendation contin-
gent upon the providing of 100000
by private donation and the construc-
tion of the railroad from Grants
Pass. While of course this does not
necessarily mean that congress will
appropriate the amount recommended
this year, it does assure the Crescent
City harbor of ultimate attention
from the government and probably
means immediate commencement of
development work. The people of
Del Norte county, in which Crescent
City is located, have pledged $780,
600 toward the harbor development,
which is estimated will cost a total
of $2,000,000.
The development of the harbor and
the completion of the railroad from
Grants Pass are dependent one upon
the other, and everything now points
toward an early completion of both
projects.
The Hotchkiss company has built
twelve miles Of railroad this way
from Crescent City, and this will be
included in the completed road.
There is now but forty miles of coun-
try to be spanned by the steel.

Found Dead in Bed

John Mclean, homesteader who
lived about three miles up Jones
creek, about five miles from Grants
Pass, was found dead in his cabin by
neighbors Tuesday, and from the
condition of the body it is evident
that he had been dead for three or
four weeks. One of the neighbors
noticed that the Mclean COW, chick

tion, and an investigation at about
noon Tuesday disclosed Mr.. Mclean
lying dead in his bed. The body was
in bad state Of preservation and
had been mutilated by the dead man s

will be equal to the best of them
from green material. Three OF the
militia players are playing their first
basketball this year.
The Oregon bunch put up a fast
game, McCready and Wheeler star
ring. Wheeler is varsity man and
put up some basketball which seemed
rather rough to the local fans, who
are not familiar with the collegiate
game.
Millard Grubb was easily the star
for the locals and displayed a slip
periness and remarkable ability to
handle the ball which had the visitors
outshone a mile. He scored Is of

Highway To
Yreka Open Soon

Within a month the Pacific High
way from the Oregon line to Yreka
will be open for travel. The road
from Ashland over the Siskiyous has
stood the storms so far this winter in
good shape. The new road from the
California line to Yreka will of course
be somewhat soft during the coming
spring, but will be a great improve
ment over the old road around by
Hornbrook. By next summer the
road from Ashland to Yreka will be
in fine shape and an easy Sunday
trip for autoists will be to the Siski-
you county seat and return.
The new highway from Yreka to
the state line, twenty-seven miles is
now all graded Between the river
and Yreka there are yet to be put in
two steel bridges, across the Shasta
river. The concrete piers are fin
ished and the steel is on the ground.
With two weeks of fair weather both
structures will be completed and
travel over the road will begin. The
concrete top will be put upon the road
next spring.

Klamath Feud
Ends in Shooting

A feud of long standing over the
ownership of property occupied by
contending claimants blazed out into
pitched battle with rifles, shotguns
and pistols, between two families at
Dodd Hollow, twenty-five miles
southeast of klamath Falls, Monday.
On one side Mrs. Alma Kuehne is
dead. On the other, Guy Hunter is
at the Blackburn hospital at Klam-
ath Falls with a bullet wound
through his arm. Hunters wife,
Ernest Lawrence and Andrew
Kuehne, son of the dead woman, are
held pending investigation.
The affray is said to be the after
math of Lawrence's trial last week on
arson charges in which the jury dis
agreed.
There are two houses on the dis
puted property, large one, occupied
by Lawrence and the Hunter family,
and the small one, into which the
Kuehnes moved last week while Law
renee was on trial. The Hunters al
lege the Kuehnes cut off the water
supply of the big house, necessitat-
ing water being hauled from a dis
tance.
According to Hunters story, he
started to drive out for water, when
he encountered several "no trespass-
ing" signs, which, he says, had been
placed by young Kuehne. AS he
passed through gate near the small
house, he said, Andrew Kuehne
opened fire upon him, wounding
Hunter in the arm. The latter
whipped up his team and fled.
Young Kuehne emptied two magazine
pistols after him, the bullets inflict-
ing wounds upon the horses.
Drawn by the firing, Lawrence,
Kuehne alleges, came to the door of
the Hunter house and fired twice at
Kuehne with a shotgun, and then
opened fire upon him with rifle.
Mrs. Alma Kuehne, Andrew Kuehne's
mother came tO her sons aid with a
rifle and fired at Lawrence.
Mrs. Hunter then joined in the af-
fray, firing from the window of the
house and shooting Mrs. Kuehne
through the abdomen. Andrew
Kuehne ceased firing when his moth
er was wounded. The dying woman
passed away at Merrill, where she
had been taken for medical attend
ance.

Auto Wheel Goes
On Mad Rampage

T. G. Boyd of Medford was sailing
blithely down Main street at the
wheel of a Brush car of medieval an
cestry. He skillfully steered around
the corner from the Plaza onto North
Main street. Most of the car kept
on going toward Medford, but the
right hand rear wheel decided to do
its Christmas shopping early, spun
off the axle and started over to call
on Mr.. Shoudy at the Elkhorn gun
store. The wheel got as far as the
plate glass window, jumped through
the glass and ended its mad career
peacefully in the window among a
miscellaneous collection of fishing
tackle, hatchets and salmon eggs
The rest of the car with Mr.. Boyd
still safely aboard continued down
the street to the Ashland Hotel,
where it decided to wait for the
wheel.
The wheel narrowly missed lady
on the sidewalk. The plate glass
window was valued at about forty
plunks, and an understanding was
reached between Mr.. Shoudy and Mr..
Boyd without trouble. The wheel
was put back on and the journey
continued. The front of the Elkhorn
gun store now has rather board ap-
pearance.
