Last Thursday the committee for
the city beautiful from the Civic I'M
provement Club met with Engineer
Walker of the city, President New
combe of the Commercial Club and
G. w. Gregg Of the school board and

Ashland Wins Championship of,
Southern Half of the State

total of 10 points.
AS on the previous evening, the
Ashland defense was working almost
perfectly. Grisez was again high
man with four baskets, while Pelouze
scored the two chalked up for the
visitors. The largest crowd Of the
season was out and the roofing was
at times terrific.
The Ashland girls came out on the
long end of a five to four score after
another of the exciting finishes which
have marked all four of the games.
A field basket by Bomar and three
fouls converted by Grubb for total
of five constituted the Ashland score
Two field goals made up the visitors
score, lack of foul throwing ability
losing the game for the Medford
misses. A second before the final
whistle foul was called on Ashland,
giving the lower valley team a
chance to tie, but the try failed and
the girls championship went to Ash
land.
The Ashland boys team lined up
for the game with Grisez and Fraley
forwards, Plymate center and Lilly
and Delsman guards. Spencer and
Harris played the last few minutes of
the final game.
The Ashland girls who played in
the two games were Skeen, Chappell,
Grubb and Hodgson forwards, Bomar
center, and Eske and Gearhart
guards.
The mastery refereeing by Harry
Cooper of Corvallis kept the entire
series entirely free from any hint of
wrangling which so often mars cham
pionship games, and throughout met
with the approval of the players and
the crowds.
Any accusations of rough work
made by outside parties are absolute
ly groundless. The players of both
teams have only good words for their
opponents and at no time INDUCED
in tactics which could be criticised.
Taken all in all, the series was the
most successful that has ever been
held in the valley and the classy
brand of ball played by both teams
made the games fast and close from
first to last.
The Kentner basketball cup comes
into the permanent possession of
Ashland, the locals having won 1t
three times in succession.
The games of the past weeks
marked the close of the basketball
season and once again Medford has
failed to Hang 1t on Ashland"

Hayward Writes
Athletic Text Books

High school text books on higher
athletics are to be produced by the
University of Oregon, according to
the announcement of Bill Hayward,
athletic director. They are to be the
first of their kind, it is said.
Hayward is to be the author. They
will be written, copyrighted and
printed as any other text book, but
according to the plans they will be
distributed free to the high schools
of the state by the university. The
series will include fifteen books, each
on a separate form of athletics, such
as high jumping, pole vaulting, quar-
ter-mile' running, distance running
and so on, through each OF the events.
In this manner distance man will
not get directions for sprinting and
it will not be necessary to send direc-
tions for shot putting to 130-pound
sprinter. Each book will have a
brief amount of material on general
training and first aid and similar
instruction.
The chief feature OF the series is
to be the development of the fine
points of the game, according to Hay.

spoken of and little known form, >
translated means the method for oh.
tanning the greatest efficiency with
the least expenditure of money. And
the form, as Hayward in his years OF
training has developed, will form the
chief theme OF the books.

Big Fire at Weed
Does Great Damage

A fire which threatened the entire
town destroyed 100000 feet of
lumber in yard No. 3 of the Weed
Lumber Company at Weed Thursday.
A special train with fire fighters and
apparatus was rushed from Dunsmuir
and another train was run to Yreka
for explosives to blow up buildings
to check the flames.
A stretch OF open ground saved the
rest of the town after several cot
tages had been destroyed.
The fire is believed to have been
Of incendiary origin. Holes had been
drilled in the fire buckets and the
hose in the yard is said to have been
cut in many places. A stiff wind
famed the flames for nearly four
hours before the fire was under con-
troll.
The loss is estimated at $500, 900.

Next Monday, March Is, has been

Naughty Moon
Gets Full Twice

Jokemakers have paragraphed at
length concerning the moons exem-
plary behavior in the month of Feb
ruary just passed, for during that
month the moon was at no time full
the first time since 1916.
Now they have the privilege of
putting the reverse English upon the
time-honored wheeze and deplore the
rakish behavior of the moon during
the month of March, for having
passed February safely, Il makes up
for lost time by appearing full twice
within the present month.
Such behavior might perhaps be
forgiven, inasmuch as this is the first
time it has happened in sixty-nine
years and it may not happen again
within the memory of men now liv-
ing.

In Jury's Hands

The trial of Loris Martin is still
occupying the center of the stage at
Jacksonville. Numbers of witnesses
were heard last week and more re-
mained to be heard today before the
case could go to the jury.
The prisoner has lost great deal
of his equanimity and is palpably
worried over the outcome of the trial.
His mother is a daily attendant at
court, as is also the widow of Warden
Hubbard.
Scores of friends of the defendant
are down from his home country and
are pulling hard for him. A number
of Ashlanders make the trip to the
county seat daily to take in the pro-
ceedings,
1t is expected that the fate of the
defendant will be put in the jury's
hands tomorrow.

Opera Martha at
Vining Tuesday

Seats were put on sale last Satur-
day afternoon for the Andrews Opera
Company's production of Martha"
on Tuesday evening, March 8. The
seats will continue on sale this after
noon and all day tomorrow. The
opera will be presented under the
auspices of the local Elks lodge and
the newly organized Andrews Opera
Company has secured a cast of sing
ers who are sure to please the Ash
land theatre-going public.
The many years of experience be-
hind this well-known company enable
them to know the pathway that leads
to success, one of the first essentials
being to carry none but experienced
and capable people.
An excellent company must have a
vehicle for the display of their tall
ents. and the management of the An
drews Opera Company, after a care
full consideration of the matter, be-
lieve that no better vehicle could
have been selected than Flotow's
tuneful and vivacious opera of Mar
tha." The story of the opera is
brought out clearly and considerably
improved in that respect By the bril-
liant dialogue, which bristles with
humor, that was written especially
for them by the noted playwright,
George Broadhurst.
Salvatore Giodano, the great tenor,
formerly OF the Metropolitan Opera
Company, will sing the role of Lionel.

Forty Men to Work
At Quarry Soon

N. A. Schanen of the Schanen- Blair
Company of Portland returned to
Portland Tuesday after spending
some time at the company's granite
quarry near ayers Spur. He in
formed the Tidings representative
that the crew which is now at work
at the quarry had taken out two car
loads of fine quality granite. This
will be shipped to Portland as soon
as a road has been built from the
working.
The ledge is located about a mile
and half from Ayers Spur and half
a mile from the county road. 1t is
in a rough canyon and necessitated
planning a costly road.
The contract for building the road
has been let to Mr. Douglas of that
district and work will go, forward at
once. The contract price is $4,000
for the road building. Win complet-
ed the road will have a maximum
grade of % per cent, over which il
is possible to handle the granite In
good shape and not too steep to be
too difficult for the returning con-
yeyances.
Mr.. Schanen was called to Portland
to attend to affairs there, but will
return in few weeks and will put
on crew of about forty men. This
payroll will be a well appreciated
addition to Ashland's too meager list
of payrolls and may assume far great
er proportions in the future, as the
company believe they have a big
proposition and will develop it.
