ATHLETICS AT STANDSTILL.
Sport Dead in England, and Non
 combatants Are Ignored.

Nate J. Cartmell, former captain and sprinter of the University of Pennsylvania track team, recently re- turned from England after an ab- sence of several months, having gone there from Austria when the war started. "Athletios," says Cartmell, "are almost at a standstill in England. Everybody is too much occupied with the war.
 eff you have not enlisted in the army" said Cartmell. you are ignored by nearly everybody, especially the women folk. All the athletic men have gone to the front or the barracks, ana there are few male members of so- ciety between the ages of fifteen and forty who do not wear the uniform.

the hole in the Brave infield caused by Deals disability, and almost from the moment he joined the Braves the work of that club began to improve. Smith fitted in the Brave lineup like a glove should fit the hand. He gave the Braves just the impetus they needed to sweep through the National league field and climb the worlds pennant pole.
 It was tough luck for Smith that the unkind fates prevented him from being in at the finish. Just at the close of the victorious season, with the great "worlds serious in the offing, Smith smashed a small bone in his left leg while negotiating a hook slide into the bag. As a result he had to sit with his leg in a plaster cast, and watch his comrades wallOp the Athletics.
 Smiths great work in Boston last year proves the contention of the docs that a change of air is often very beneficial.

Connie Mack is having a hard time trying to fill the shoes of Home Run Baker in the Athletics infieId. He has been trying a recruit named McCon- nell, who is too inexperienced for the place. Lajoie is also slow around second base. The veteran can still hit, but he is slow fielding ground balls. Oldring was tried at third, but was Woefully weak there.

Sign Diverts
From Highway

A big sign, 10x20 feet in size, has
been placed at Ager, CAL, at the
forks of the road on the Pacific
highway, directing tourists to take
the inland route to Crater Lake Wit
klamath Falls, thence through east
ern Oregon and to Portland Wit the
new scenic Columbia highway.
The sign is expected to divert
large portion of the tourist traffic
by way of klamath Falls. The sign
was placed by A. ]. Gordon OF the
White Pelican garage and E. B. Hall
of the White Pelican hotel, both OF
klamath Falls.
1t would appear that it was now
up to the hotel and garage men OF
Ashland and Medford to place an
other sign 20x30 feet on the opposite
side of the road directing the auto
mobiist to take the Pacific highway
up through Oregon, travelling over
the Siskiyou grade, universally ac-
knowledged to be the most beautiful
and perfect piece of scenic highway
on the coast, Jackson county's paved
highways, the excellent roads with
unrivalled scenic attractions in the
Rogue, Umpqua and Willamette val
leys, the side trip of day from Ash

BOOtblack Fined
And Flees City

George Patton, a bootblack en-
ployed at the Valley barber shop next
door to Rose Bros, skipped the city
Saturday after a series of erratic es-
capades. Friday night Patton blacked
his face and hid in a young lady's
room at the Park hotel. When the
girl went to her room about 10 in
the evening she discovered Patton in
the clothes closet. She ran from the
room shrieking, her cries attracting
a man who is boarding at the hotel.
Patton ran from the room and met
the boarder in the hall. Flourishing
a revolver, he threatened to shoot
anybody who interfered with him and
made his escape. Saturday morning
Officers Winner and Johnson hunted
him up and hailed him before the
justice court, where he was fined for
disturbing the peace. A warrant was
then issued against Patton for carry
ing concealed firearms and threaten
ing to kill, but the young culprit got
out Of the city before he could be To-
Gated.
Since his disappearance Rose Bros.
have discovered that the young man
had been in the habit of picking the
lock between the barber shop and
their store and helping himself to
candy and other stuff.

Noted Dancer May
Appear Here Soon

Mr.. and Mrs. Robert d. Carville,
official dancers at the Panama-Pa-
cific International Exposition at San
Francisco, and son-in-law and daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Watson
of Ashland, will arrive in this city
early next week, on their way to
Chicago and New York for season
of special entertainment, on arrange
ment perfected by William Randolph
Hearst personally. They will stop
at Ashland for visit with Mrs. Car
ville's parents.
The latter, whose stage name is
Barbara La MARI, was formerly the
moving picture actress so frequently
mistaken for Mary Pickford on the
screen. Her popularity as and sue
cess at classic dancing have, for a
time at least, and perhaps perma-
nently, taken her out of the "mov-
ies." In one of her own dances at
the San Francisco exposition she has
received as much as 500 for thirty
minutes work.
In the Examiner of July Is the fol-
lowing, under a large picture of Mr..
and Mrs. Carville, is quoted from an
extended reference to their remark
able dancing in that city:
miss Barbara La Mari, a pretty
and graceful young western girl,
quietly and modestly has been
smashing into little bits all records
for creating and producing new
dances. And she has been doing this
in San Francisco, where new dances
grow as fast and furiously as nastur-
tiums in a sunny back garden.
"Since coming to San Francisco a
few weeks ago with her dancing part
ner, Robert D. Carville, Miss La
Marr has created or invented or COM
posed something like dozen dances.
1t would probably be more correct
to say that Miss La Mari and Carville
have done this, for they collaborate
in some of their productions.
"The Zone Prmenade, described
by Miss La Marr as Irritation one
STEP has been captivating visitors
to the exposition, where Miss La
Marr and Carville have been dane
ing"
Mr.. and Mrs. Carville have ex
pressed a willingness to appear once
in Ashland in some Of their favorite
dances while visiting their parents
here. 81

Miss JOOrfetz
Receives Diploma

One of the most successful of the
of conventions held at San
Francisco during 1915 closed last
Saturday, when the seventy-five
women delegates to the convention
Of corsetieres, which assembled from
eleven states, returned to their
homes.
Miss Emma Joorfetz of McGee's
store attended and took the final eX-
following a week of lee
lures and demonstrations, passing
with very high average. Her Dip
Iona places her in class with pro-
fessional women, for she is now a
graduate corsetiere.
Mr.. Frank L. Fehlman, director
of sales and advertising for the H.
w. Gossard Company, who was in
charge of the convention, states that
this was the most representative
gathering from the large stores and
shops and the efhost interesting fit
ting clinic he had ever attended or
planned for the organization.
Medical fittings, regular corset fit
tings, special lectures on salesman
ship, advertising, "turn-overs," al
terations, etc, were features of the
week. In addition to this the dele
gates were entertained with many
sightseeing excursions, enjoying
special privileges at the Panama.
Pacific International Exposition.
White and gold were chosen as the
colors for the Gossard convention,
and the slogan adopted, Work for
the Love of Your Work" Miss Joor-
fetz finds herself busily engaged
since her return telling her friends
of the remarkable things she saw
during her stay in "The Jewel City"

New Auditorium
In Litha Park

There seem to be some mistaken
ideas prevalent in relation to the
auditorium to be constructed in the
park. Some citizens CLEANED from
the published notice in the last issue
of the Tidings that this building was
simply to be constructed for dancing
purposes. This is an error.
The building will be 80 by 100
feet, built of logs, and Yill be ar
ranged with a design of accommo-
dating conventions and other gather
ings of all kinds.
1t is believed that Ashland can be
made a popular convention city and
it is very necessary that some such
building be constructed to accommo-
date such gatherings as may desire
to convene here.

Saws State Should
Control r. r. Land

Roseburg Review: II cruised the
greater share of the timber in the
Oregon-C California land grant, and il
the state should finally open it to set
tiers after the timber has been taken
off, not per cent of it would be
taken up in the next fifty years."
Such was the statement made by
State Forester Elliott, who, accom-
panied by his wife, arrived last night
in a roadster. They came from Ash
land by way of Crescent City and
Coos Bay.
For eighteen years, between 1889
and 1906, Mr.. Elliott was with the
railroad company. He knows the tim
ber of the southern Oregon counties
extremely we'll, having for years been
engaged in cruises in these parts.
"And l firmly believe that the
state ought to get control of It," he
declared. There are 100000
acres in this state now in forest re-
serves. That is enough.
He believes the western part or
Oregon should derive the benefits
from the 100000 acres after the
railroad has been paid for its equity.
"Put it into the roads and the school
fund is my idea," he said.
He also expressed the belief that
the only way the timber can be made
use of in any way is through opera
tion Of the big lumber companies and
their mills. II don't believe that 10
per cent of it would be fit. for agri-
culture. It's too much up and down."

Metallic Tie Was
Blue Sky Dodge

Two years ago some $4,000
worth of Universal Metallic Tie"
stock was peddled to residents of the
Rogue River valley between Ashland
and Grants Pass. An assessment is
now being made on the stock with
threats of lawsuits if the stock own
ers refuse to pay. District Attorney
Kelly makes the following statement
in regard to the stock:
THE Metallic Tie Company, a
Utah corporation, which has sold
considerable of its stock in Jackson
county, and which has never COM
piled with the corporation laws OF
Oregon, is now making demands upon
some of the Jackson county subscrib-
ers for payment upon assessable
stock bought by local citizens. The
statement made by this corporation
to the corporation commissioner OF
the state was so unsatisfactory that
no permit was granted by that de-
partment to do business within the
state and stock sales made by them
since the enactment of the Blue Sky
law are in violation of the law, and,
as ! view the matter, the company
can not lawfully collect on its assess
ments. I examined the statement
submitted the corporation commits
sioner and am of the opinion that
the whole scheme was purely blue
sky promotion dodge, and I advise
the citizens of Jackson county who
have been threatened with legal pro-
ceedings for non-payment of assess
ments to not be frightened by threats
of suit, as this concern has no capac-,
ity to sue in this state.
