NEW THREAT MADE

Extraordinary Precautions Are
Taken, Although Police Con-
slider Matter a. Joke.

Extraordinary precautions to safe
guard the Capitol have been taken since
the receipt of another threat to blow up
the building This was acknowledges
today BY Capt. M. B. Louthran, of the
Capitol police force .. .l. Z.
The letter was received by Major
Pullman, and declared the writer would
blow up the building on tho :2d Of
July at l a.. M" III. ...-.
'"while we did not attach any i'm
portance to the threatening letter. said
Captain Louthran today, I've took every

Examination Of the threatening letter
was made at the police department
laboratory. but failed to show any marks
Of the writer's fingers
while we thought the letter came as
the result Of a perverted sense Of
cided that 1t would be best to turn Il
over to the Capitol police SO they could
be prepared for any emergency"
The letter was sent from Los Angeles.
It was collected in that city July Is at

STANDING IN CARS
BLAMED ON ORDER
Traction Company Believes
Complaints Of Seated Pas.
sengers Is Exaggerated.

That the practice Of standing between
the seats on open cars, concerning
which a number OF protests have been
made recently, results from the order Of
the commission prohibiting the occu-
pancy OF the front scat and running
boards.-is the reply received by the Pub
lie Utilities Commiss' DIN today to a lot
ter sent to the Capital Traction Com
pany directing attention to such com
plants.
The practice says the company,
certainly does not result from lack OF
service furnished From several DAYS
observation II would seem that the
number Of passengers standing on open
cars is not large. and these are limited
to the rush hour service. The insist
ence upon the part OF some passengers
to stand Is certainly annoying to seated
passengers. and we will by instruction
to employees and by inspection endeayor
TO mitigate this condition ds far as DOS
sible, but we are convinced that II will
sometimes occur, certainly SO long as
passengers are not permitted to stand
on running boards"
A hearing on the complaints may be
held by the commission.
No reply has been received to a LET
ter sent to the Washington Railwa,
and Electric Company July 10 direct.
Ing attention to the protests and askina
for suggestions as to the methods bS
| which the conditions Of which com.
plant is made may be ,remedied.

FRENCH ADMIT LOSSES IN BAYONET CHARGES
ARTILLERY OUTRANGES GERMANS


Paris.-Soissons has been bonn
barded by the Germans and the pal
ace of justice there destroyed, in re-
Venge for German failure to retake
the positions carried by the French
in series of brilliant assaults. The
Germans have also reOccUpied, but at
heavy cost, the positions at Surn-
haUpt recently taken by the French.
All Of today's official and unofficial
reports emphasize the fact that fight
ing is again in progress at nearly
every point along the battlefront.
South Of Ypres the Frenc hartillery
has been used with deadly effect to
demOlish a row of German trenches
and to silence their mine throweTs.
Between Arras and Amiens, the
French are having much the best of
the artillery exchanges and have sue
seeded in silencing several of the Ger
man batteries.
Berlin, via Wireless.-The Kaiser
made a trip to the headquarters of
the Sixth Army for the purpose of
paying tribute to King, Ludwig Of Ba-
Varia, its commander, who was cele-
Orating his 10th birthday

and Queen Mary, accompanied by a
large escort today visited the hOspit-

along Vistula. According to official
and unofficial reports received today
the chief scene of conflict is now be-
tween Sukha and MogheIey. Ger
mans have been heavily reinforced by
troops withdrawn from the firing line
in France and Belgium and it is be-
Heved by the military experts here
that the present move is their final
attempt to take Warsaw. If they are
defeated this time, and the reports
from the front indicate that they are
at least checked, they must TetiTe-tO

Fighting in the north is also re-
ported to be increasing in intensity.

The Russian commanders are en-
into East Prussia. Should this move
win the Germans will be in grave
danger of having their forces in Po-

In the fighting in Galicia there has
been little change.
In the Bukowina campaign prac-
ticaly the entire crown land is now
held by the Russians. The Russian

October to be
Banner Month

San Francisco, Sept. 27.--October,
the most beautiful month OF the year
in San Francisco, will be made men,
orable by the many social and amuse-
ment features which have been
planned by the directors of the Pan
ama-Paclfic international Exposition.
Lucky are those who have postponed
their visit to the great exposition un-
til next month-the month of great
horse shows, livestock exhibits, con-
ventions and congresses of all kinds,
and the month during which the agri-
culturists of the west will hold big
thirty-day celebration in commemora-
tion of plentiful crops and good
prices. October has been designated
by the exposition officials as Farm
ers' Month" and plans are now near
ly complete for the big jubilee.
The wonderful grounds and gar
dens of the exposition, with all varie-
ties of rare and exquisite flowers
blooming and fountains playing amid
splendid groups Of sculpturng, will
be in the height of their glory in Oc-
tober, a period of plentiful sunshine
and no winds or fogs.
The special daily program during
the month will consist of band con-
certs organ recitals by world famous
organsts, a society horse show in
which will be entered the finest hors-
es from Americas best stables, spec
ial features on the Joy Zone" ath-
letic events and livestock exhibitions
of all varieties of domestic animals
The conventions and congresses, OF
which 70 of various kinds will meet
during October, will be a special at
traction for the month. A dozen OF
these will deal with livestock. The
great worlds insurance congress will
meet from October 4 to 16, followed
by American Builders week October
IS to 23. Thousands of persons from
all the states will attend these gath
erings, each of which will conduct
special ceremonies and special kinds
of entertainment in connection with
the exposition's manifold attractions
Electric week will be observed
from October A to 8. A half dozen
national electrical organizations will
meet during that period. The more
important of the miscellaneous con-
ventions for the month follow;

to lack of quality. One load of good

to $6.65.
Sheep Sheep transactions were
made rapidly with an advance of Csc

quickly at 81, ewes at s. and wethers

die many more sheep than have been
coming in. Receipts for Monday to-
tailed to about $4,25 a head.

Fighting Spirit
Needs Awakening

An awakening of the Ashland high
school fighting spirit is needed. Coach
Hutchinson is holding forth every af-
ternoon on the high school athletic
field over a football squad which is
pitifully small when considered in
ratio to the registration at high
school and the number of well-built
lads who come trailing down town
after the close of the afternoon ses-
sion. An awakening is needed and
an awakening will come. 1t is up
to the high school boys and the high
school girls whether the awakening
will come now OF after the first Med
ford game. With only five of last
years regulars back in suits Ash
lands new coach has a real job cut
out for him and needs the co-opera-
tion and backing of every high school
student.
Medford high, under the new re-
gime instituted by Coach Klum, who
last year built up mediocre bunch
of material into the championship
Ashland team which cleaned up
everything in southern Oregon, has
taken a new lease on football life and
turned out siXty-five candidates for
the initial practice. Do you get that,
you high schoolers who think fuss
ing" a girl more patriotic than doing
mans size work on the football
field every evening that outside du-
ties will permit? For the benefit of
those who do not already know, we
will state that the Ashland squad on
first practice night numbered just
but no. Let's see if we can announce
the turning out of a squad of fifty
young men with the good old Ashland
high school fighting spirit in next
issue of the Tidings.
A football game is not won on the
day of the game. 1t is won during
the long weeks of hard work when
the whole squad is bending every eff
fort toward making a finished fight
ing machine of the eleven fittest men.
Let every boy who has his parents
permission and has passed a doctors
examination, dig up a pair of old
overalls if nothing better, and get out

tive set Of girls, and the officers have
started TO do this already. There are
four divisions or circles as they are
called. Miss Mccormack heads the
basketball circle, Miss Merz the hik-
ing circle, Miss Hassinger the tennis
circle, and Miss Powers the swim
ming. Miss Moffat, the originator,
is the head. In order to make the
girls do as much as they can credit
system has been originated in which
certain number of credits are
awarded for a certain amount of en-
deavor in each branch. An honor pin
is given when member has received
600 credits. The first meeting of the
swimming circle was last Wednesday
evening at the Natatorium. Three
of the girls received the allotted
number of swimming credits fol
swimming $50 yards. The first hike
was participated in Saturday. Kings
bury Springs was the destination.
The combined freshmen held theil
first class meeting Thursday. Ray
Clarey was elected president, Richard
Crombie vice-president, and Gladys
Inflow secretary-treasurer
A few of the more adventurous o.
the teachers essayed a trip to Mt
Ashland Friday evening. Misses Val
Housen, Ringheim, Powers and AL
verson were the adventuresses.

Helen Eske entered school last
Monday. She was member of last
years basket ball team and will prob
ably be one of the standbys this sea-
son.
The students who wish to become
members of the orchestra began to
sign up last week. Most of last years
members have signed up and there
are probably more that will join it.
The first practice will be Wednesday
at 7:15 in the high school gymnasi-
um. Miss Harris has some fine new
music and will no doubt have even
better success this year than she had
last.
Two new students from out of
town, Misses Alice Becroft of Phoe-
nix and Mabel Taylor of Talent, were
enrolled Monday. They are taking
postgraduate work in teachers train
ing
The teachers training class is
growing rapidly 1t started with IA
and now it has 22. A fair proportion
of these are post-graduates.
Captain "Climax" Delsman started
to school last week among the rest.
He will have a full course, consisting
mostly of football.
Miss Harris played piece in the
music class Wednesday which made
quite a hit. It was Home, Sweet
Home" as it is played in Germany,
Spain, Hungary, China, Ireland and
the United States. Most of them
liked the Chinese version best, but
some took kindly to the rag-time
United States" part.
The music class is also growing.
There are now 29 members. The
study is now centered on Spanish mu-
sic and the students listen to guitar
and castanet duets on the victrola
most of the time.
Fred Van Dyke entered school last
week.
A miniature balloon ascension oc-
Cured in the hall Wednesday and
occasioned much excitement. Profes-
sor Ruch let loose of its string as he
was carrying it and it rose to the
ceiling, where it stuck. The Italian
Zeppelin" was finally recovered by
Lengthy" Payne, who simply reach
ed up and picked it off the ceiling.
Friday afternoon the assembly was
treated to program of music on the
victrola, as Professor Moore said, ito
try it out" The victrola stood the
test very well and every one was well
pleased.
Miss Moffet, the physical training
teacher, is organizing an Oregon

Resigns Passionate

Last Sunday Rev. J. W. Lyon,
Pastor of the Christian Church,
rendered to his congregation his
resignation as Pastor of the
Church here.
We are sure that he will be
missed, not only by his own con-
gregation, but by all the other
churdhes as well.
Mr.. l.igon is a man who has, by
his genial way of doing things,
taught the people of Barbourviile
to love him. He is a man who
has all the necessary qualiiica-
tons required to make a leader
in the spiritual world, he is a
splendid speaker, full of wit,
humor and pathos. We do not
know to what field he will go,
but we are sure he will have
friends and admirers no matter
where he may go. His resigna-
ton is to take effect within three
months.
