Choral Club Will
Give Concert

The Choral Society is planning
concert to be given at the Vining
Theatre on August 80 which should
have the patronage of every Ashland
er. The members Of the society,
which has taken such prominent
part in the musical life of Ashland
during the past year, hope to make
the society permanent organization,
and of course to do this there must
be funds raised in some way. The
concert will be given for this purpose.
Ashland has musical talent of extra-
ordinary ability, and the hit scored
by the Choral Society at Chautauqua
guarantees a performance well worth
hearing at the coming concert.

Crew at Work at
Bailey Hill

The Southern Pacific has a force
of twenty men at work at the Bailey
hill undergrade crossing in Siskiyou
county, California. A piledriver is
at work setting piles preparatory to
tunneling under the railroad. The
tunnel will be finished in about six
weeks, eliminating the two miles of
jagged rocks which pass for a road
over Bailey hill at present. When
this obstacle is removed most of the
Oregon pleasure seekers will make

were calves. according to the estimate

This left five months ago only $500,

be killed and eaten and Of this num-
bci more than one-fifth were 2-year

Despite the meatless DAYS and the
