Fifty Local Fans
See MedfOrd Win

Forty-fiye Ashland football fans
made the trip to Medford last Satur-
day afternoon and saw Medford beat
Grants Pass by a score of ~ to 7.
The game started off with Medford
apparently about twenty points the
best team and the red and black
scored two touchdowns in the first
half. At the beginning of the Sec
ond half Grants Pass man inter-
cepted a forward pass and ran sixty
yards for a touchdown, and after
that Medford barely held their own.
Coach Klum got worried along to-
ward the last, but without cause, as
the Pass boys insisted on trying a
forward passing game which netted
them nothing and almost always lost
them the bail.
Grants Pass has three or four
stars and real game is ahead for
Ashland high when they mingle with
the Pass boys next Saturday. The
Pass came within few yards of scor-
ing on Medford in the last quarter
and would have been victors had for
tune favored them.
Medford has big bunch and
showed up well, particularly on the
defense.

Ashland were: John Enders, Ken
meth McWilliams, Harold Merrill,

Bonfire Spreads
and Burns Grass

A brush fire burned over a consid-
cradle area between Pioneer avenue
and Fork street last Thursday after
noon. The fire department was
called out and big force of volun-
teers soon had the blaze under con-
troll before any residences were seri-
ously menaced. The fire started
from trash pile which had been lit
and apparently forgotten. The fire
chief wishes to warn citizens who
burn trash to be careful in this re-
spect and always have some one
watch the fire.

u. of O. Boosters
Wear Long Faces

University of Oregon alumni and
boosters in Ashland are wearing long
faces as a result of the 2S to drub-
bing which was meted out to the
state college team by the Pullman,
Wash, aggregation Saturday De-
spite the fact that Oregon has team
of giants and has been accorded ex-
cellent chances for a championship,
the Pullman pigskin artists waded
through the line or around the ends
at will. Either the Washington state
institution has an exceptionally
strong aggregation, or else some
thing vital is lacking at the U. of O..
While the university was receiving
its punishment at Pullman, the Ore
gon Agricultural College was wallop-
ing Whitman, "a to 7. Dad" King,
an Ashland boy, played the entire
game at gaurd for the agricultural
school. King has been playing on
the second team for four years, but
bids fair to win his letter this sea-
son.
In the eastern arenas the big sur
prise of last Saturday was the defeat
of the navy by Pittsburg University,
AZ to ~.

Auto is Nemesis
Of George Anderson

They say lightning never strikes
twice in the same place, but it seems
to be getting dangerously near in the
case of George Anderson's brother.
Mr.. Anderson, who works at War
ner's, was called to Salem a couple
of weeks ago to care for his brother
Sol, who was injured in an automo-
bile accident. Mr.. Anderson had
been back here but a few days and
last night received telegram stating
that his nephew, Carl Anderson, son
of the brother who suffered the for
mer injury, was in a critical condi-
tion as the result of an automobile
accident. Mr.. Anderson left this
morning for Salem.

Big Loss Could Be
Easily Averted

The latest crop report from WASH
ington, ID. c., for the state of Oregon
shows a falling off of $4,000 barrels
in the apple crop from September to
October l. While this is but a COM
parative forecast, II is prepared after
careful investigation and tabulation,
and every section Ia reported upon by
numbers OF crop reporters. This fall
ing off means a dead loss of $1SS,7 700
In Oregon at the price of $255 which
prevailed on September 15. In the
United States at large the crop
showed on Increase during the month.
Prices in Oregon are 27 cents higher
than last year and average 81 cents
higher than the average price paid
throughout the United States. The
high price paid for Oregon fruit is
alone the most convincing kind Of
argument for the success of fruit
raising in the state. II is a fact but
little realized that Oregon's apple
crop is only about Ia Of the total
crop of the United States.
Here in Rogue River valley we
have suffered direct loss of several
thousand dollars in the past month
and of great many more during the
entire season, because Jupiter Plu-
vius failed to turn loose the CUSTOM
airy showers. Last year 1t was just
as bad, and next year il may be worse,
for all man can say. There is but one
way out, and the few growers who
have taken it are now looking around
for the latest model of automobile,
while those who have scoffed are
thinking seriously OF selling the last
years car and walking. The answer
is-IRRIGATION.
A big proportion OF the growers of
the valley have already awakened to
the need Of water, and a movement
is gaining impetus for widespread ir-
rigation. Government engineers are
the water resources of the
valley and listing every possible
source of supply, When plans are
worked out it will be up to the valley
land owners to accept or reject their
salvation. A grower here and
grower over there in the next section
will not suffice. 1t will take the unit
ed cooperation of all

Grants Pass Will
Play Here Saturday

Football enthusiasm this year
promises to reach higher pitch than
ever before in the history of the
game in the valley. Medford banks
their every hope on Coach Klum,
who for two years past turned out
winning teams at Ashland. Ashland
ers claim that Ashlang fighting spirit
is responsible for Ashland victories,
and the Medford games this year
will probably draw crows of thou
sands.
Grants Pass has become a new fac
tor and the hitherto despised Pass
team promises to make an interest
ing three-cornered race of the valley
championship series. Last Saturday
the Josephine county boys showed
that the material for a real team is
in Grants Pass, and in fact came
within few yards of beating Med
ford. With a weeks practice on the
weak points revealed Saturday the
Pass high will be dangerous oppon-
ent when they meet Ashland high
sckcsl on the local athletic field. A
big turnout is anticipated, as every
Ashlander is anxious to get line on
the new material which is being
welded into team this year, and the
Grants Pass game will be a royal op-
portunity. The game will be called
at 2:30 p. m. Saturday, October 16.

progress with the list of cases up for
its investigation. Benton Bowers OF

ed for selling whiskey to Indians.

Calls Attention
To Free Service

The United States Department OF
Labor, through its local branch at
Portland, again directs the attention
of the public to that fact that it
mainains a division Of information
for the benefit of employers of labor
seeking help and for the assistance
of workers seeking employment.
While this service is entirely free
and available to all in both city and
country, the government realizes that
it is the employer situated outside
the larger cities and towns who is
handicapped in securing competent
help because of his remoteness from
the ordinary labor markets. There
fore, it is particularly to such, COM
prising farmers, ranchers, orchard
lists, stockmen, Gamers and manufac-
turers, that the government tenders
its free service. Employers can be
put in prompt touch with skilled or
unskilled help of almost any race or
nationality and for any kind of work
including domestice service.
Every postmaster is an authorized
agent for the governments employ
ment branch and will receive applica-
tions from employer or unemployed.
Or such applications and requests for
information may be sent to the dis
trict headquarters under the follow
ing address: Officer in Charge, Dis
tribution Branch, U. s. immigration
Service, 424 Railway Exchange Build
ing, Portland, Ore. The service is
free.

City Healthy or
Wicked, Which?

Many of us are familiar with the
old saying that "the good die young.
The truth or fallacy of this doctrine
has never been satisfactorily proven,
especially to those who have passed
the meridian of life into a s'ripe old
age" However, if there be any truth
in the assertion that those who are
good are called early to make the
journey into that unknown country
from whose bourne no traveller doth
return" then the reputation of Ash
land as a moral and sanctimonious
community will become slightly
frayed around the edges, for the bur-
ial statistics for the present year, as
gathered from the city sexton, show
that the majority OF those who have
died were in the 'sere and yellow
leaf of life. The city records show
that there have been q burials in the
city during the first nine months of
the year 1915. The ages of some of
these are as follows: 73, 70, SO, rs,
SO, 81, "A, 81, 73, So, Sc, so, 81,
80, &c, So, rs, 62, so, 7S. Seventy
four per cent of the people who were
buried during that time were well
past middle life. The average age of
these was 701a years. The sexton's
records show that the number of bur-
ials in the year 1913 was Al and in
the year following, 1914, 45.
II we accept the statement that the
good die young as an exploded fallacy
then the figures do not prove Ashland
a wicked city but demonstrate that it
is remarkably healthful city, one of
the healthiest, in fact, in the United
States. Few cities, if any, have as
low, or lower, death rate. The citi-
zens of Ashland have always claimed
the city to be desirable place OF res
idence because of the healthfulness
of its climate and waters. The above
figures show, beyond any fear of con-
tradiction, that this claim is amply
justified. Ashland has always been a
health resort, and, when the world at
large learns of its advantages from
this standpoint, it will be one of the
greatest resorts in America. It GER
tainly is the land of health and hap
piness.

Boston Beats the
Great Alexander

Boston, with Lennart in the box
defeated Philadelphia and the great
Alexander in the last inning of to.
days ball game. In the eighth the
score stood 1 to 1. The final score
was 2 to 1.
The Philadelphia Nationals won
the opening game of the worlds SER
les Friday afternoon, defeating the
Boston Americans by score of 8
runs to /. Despite the fact that the
Red Sox outhit the Phillies, errors
and a lack of playing judgment at
critical moments gave the contest to
the National league pennant win
ners. Neither Alexander nor Shore
pitched sensational ball, but excel
lent defensive work at their backs
kept the score down. Paskert's great
running catch of Gardner's long
drive to center field shut off a Red
Sox rally, and was the fielding fea-
ture of the day.
In the second game Saturday af-
ternoon Boston won by a score of 2
to in an almost perfect game of
ball. Foster of Boston held the Phil
lies to three hits and scored the win
ming run himself with a hit in the
ninth inning. President Wilson and
his bride to be, Mrs. Gait, were pres
ent at the game and were accorded
almost as much attention as the con-
test itself.
