Henin Purchases
Valuable Hounds

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Herrin re-
turned Thursday evening from San
Francisco, where they spent a week
at the exposition. Mr.. Herrin has
purchased a pair of beautiful Russian
wolfhounds which he saw at the ex-
position. The dogs are pedigreed an
imals which have taken many prizes
and are said to be the only hounds of
the breed on the coast The pair of
dogs are to be delivered at the close
of the exposition. Mr.. Herrin will
use them in exterminating coyotes, a
pest for which he has little use. The
Russian wolfhounds are big, rangy
animals and can outrun the coyote.
They are used to good effect else
where for this purpose. The dogs
make short work Of coyote and the
Herrin sheep herds will be safe in
their care.

Irrigation Plans
Meets With Favor

The Ashland district requires irri-
cation just exactly as imperatively as
the rest of the valley The farmers
of the district realize the necessity
and are taking hold OF the matter
with enthusiasm. McWilliams & Edg-
ington's real estate office is the local
headquarters for the irrigationists,
and all landowners are requested to
call, discuss the proposed plans and
sign up in favor of the district. No
obligation is attached to the signing
Of the statement, ii being merely a
preliminary stop to line up those in
favor of the district plan. The en-
gineers are now working on the sur
vey and plat of the Ashland district,
and their final report and recon-
mendations will be ready in about
four months. Practically all Of the
farmers who have called at the office
and who have been seen by the irri-
cation boosters are in favor of the
plan and have signed up, but the
committee have been unable to get
in touch with many, and those who
have not been made acquainted with
the matter first hand are urged to
call at the real estate office.

Great White Way
On Main Street

How would you like to see the gay
est sports in gay New York in the
wee small hours of the morning, the
reveries at Rector's, MaXim's, etc.,
presented precisely as they occur
nightly, the same girls, the same cos
tunes, the same dances, the same
music? Manager Lawrence of the
Lyric has arranged such trip in
very unusual production, Midnight
at Maxim's." If ever a picture was
adapted to carry the glitter of Broad
way into the dullness of a village
evening, Midnight at Maxim's" GER
tainly does it.
The settings for the scenes are an
exact imitation of the famous Max
ims's, and the guests used to provide
a background for the performers are
true to type-a trio of men out for a
good time, the after-theatre supper
party, the westerner with his over
dressed wife who have come to New
York to see the sights, the smoothly
groomed youth described by George
Ade as being all right from his collar
down. You meet these and many
more during the course of the even
ing, and they are as much a part of
midnight at Maxim's as the dancers
themselves.
A special music score arranged to
suit will be played.
This photopley is in four reels and
will be shown Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights at the Lyric at 5 and 10
cents admission.

Ashland May Get Oregon Building
From Exposition For Lithia Park

The following article appeared in
the Portland Oregonian from the pen
c. Anne Shannon Monroe, the Ore
elnians special correspondent at the
Panama-Pacific International Exposi-
ton at San Francisco:
"The Oregon building nay be
saved after all. Ashland has come to
the front with a plan ON which we
must all congl atulate her. through
Bert r. Greer, that city asks for the
Oregon building. She wants it re-
moved log for log and Eeam for
beam, to her environs, there TO be
erected as a permanent monument tc
Oregon enterprise and Oregon tim
ber The plan is to erect it in the
new Lithia park, where it will house
exhibits, a pavilion and everything
houseable in the park
"Mr. Mccormack, vice-president
and general traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific railroad, favors the
plan and thinks the railroad COM
pany will remove the structure
which will require 45 cars-elthCr
free of charge or at a nominal rate.
Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1915-11-01

Ashland appropriated s175,OO0 for
the development of Lithia park; she
has piped in lithia, hot sulphur ami
soda water and has added 60 acres of
new territory She still has on hand
more than $4,000 of the Original
appropriation. The cost of removing
the Oregon building is estimated al
about 10000.
She could not put up anything
like the awe-inspiring structure that
so well represents our state at the
fair for this amount, and, besides,
the fame of the Oregon building has
gone all over the world. Many tour
lists would stop in Ashland just 20
see the famous tree louse.' It's
style of architecture is in keeping
with the natural setting which would
be furnished in Lithia park, AMI it
would appear to far better advantage
than it does on the shores of the bay.
Everything in the park so far is ia
rustic effect-of logs and cobble-
stones-and it seems only waiting
for this last magnificent addition.
"Ashland's enterprise should win. .

Football Fans Wild
Over 0.A.C. Victory

The biggest upset in football dope
in America was recorded last Satur-
day afternoon when the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College played rings
around the brilliant Michigan A. c.
team in East Lansing, Mich, and
won the first game which may be
used for a basis of comparison of
eastern and western football, by a
score of 20 to 0. After the Pullman
team had beat Oregon Agricultural
College 80 to 0, two weeks ago, hopes
of a win for the western team from
the heavy Michigan farmers ebbed
and went out altogether when NJ. A.
C. defeated Hurry Up" Yost's Michi-
gan U. team "a to 0. The defeat of
the NJ. A. c. team by the Oregon
boys would seem to indicate that
northwestern football is better than
the best middle western game and
on a par with the best far eastern
football. Syracuse barely defeated
Michigan IT,, IA to Z, Saturday, thus
giving a basis for comparison with
the far east. Syracuse plays o. A. c.
in Portland December /.
Every football fan in the north
west is overjoyed over the Oregon
victory and a royal welcome will
greet the team upon their return
Wednesday. The Oregonians won by
straight football, Abraham, who al
most alone defeated Ashland high
when playing with Albany in 1912
here, was the hero of the game and
was proclaimed by Michigan critics to
be one of the greatest plunging backs
In America.
