to be one Of the most ideal poultry

conditions that 1t will soon be doing

Promise MedfOrd
State Fowl Show

The Southern Oregon Poultry as
sociation has receiver a communi-
cation from President E. j. McClana-
han Of the State Poultry association
in which practical assurances is given
that the next poultry show, which
will be held in December, will come
to Medford. President McClanahan
writes to President E. w. Hunter of
the valley association that all of the
state members in Lane county are
for Medford and that he has reason
to believe that many in Marion and
adjoining counties are also strongly
in favor of Medford.
There are SO members of the State
Poultry association in this end of the
valley. OF course, these votes will
all go to Medford when the election
shall be held in December. AS a
matter of fact, there ought to be
large association membership in
Southern Oregon-and there prob
ably will be by the time the votes
shall be cast.
The Southern Oregon Poultry as
sociation is only a few months old,
but it already has to its credit one
of the best district poultry shows
ever held in the state, outside of
Portland, State officials including
Governor Withycombe, so declared it
while in Medford, and other promin-
ent poultry raisers confirm this esti-
mate. 1t is proved to be a valuable |
exhibit for Southern Oregon and sur
prised even the most sanguine as to

"Birth Of a Nation"
At Page, Medford

Those who attended the Birth of
the Nation, which opens a three
day engagement at the Page theatre
Medford, Thursday, July 27, will
doubtless be struck by the effects
which makes the scenes SO realistic,
but none who has not seen the ap-
paratus realizes what an immense
amount of paraphernalia is neces-
sary.
The. company carries with 1t alto
gether large baggage car load of
apparatus, including dynamos, trans
formers, reducers, projection ma
chimes, booth and curtain. In addi-
tion there are remarkable array of
noise-making appartus.
When, for instance. watching the
reproduction of the great battle in
which the soldiers of the north and
south are intrenched within 200
yards of each other, one hears the
roar of the cannon, the cries of the
dying and wounded soldiers, the dull
explosions of underground mines.
This is how these effects are accom-
plished:
To produce other noises there are
crashes, drums, cymbals and SEEM
inly every kind of an instrument
that produces horrifying noise.
which, when sounded at the right
time, seem to come from the very
heart of the picture. There is not a
word spoken on the stage, every en-
ploye being on the alert to watch
for his signal from the electrician.
The object of this review shows
to what extent the exhibitors went
to make their picture the greatest
and most realistic success ever
staged.
Adding not so much to the realism
as to expression is the great 30 piece
orchestra to aid in interpreting the
picture.
1t is the claim of the producer, D.
W. Griffith, that "The Birth of the
is the production true in his
.orical fact in the effects produced

Famous Layton
Placer Mine Sold

One of the most momentous placer
deals ever closed in Southern Oregon
is the sale of the famous Layton
placer mine on Upper Williams creek,
west of Grants Pass, to a Boston
syndicate known as the Pacific Placer
company, with Austin Wilson, of Bos-
ton, at its head, announcement of
which was made Saturday night.
The Layton property, comprising
600 acres, has been one of the fore
most producers of Southern Oregon
for more than 40 years and made
of ]. 7. Layton. its original locator
and owner for half a century, a very
wealthy man.
Since Mr.. Layton's death, 10 years
ago, the mine has been worked by
the heirs of the estate and has made
a handsome showing every year. Now
the heirs are all of age and the mine
is sold by G. w. Colvig, administra
tor, for the purpose of distribution
among the heirs. The sale only awaits
the order of the probate court.
1t is the intention of the new own
ers to consolidate the Layton prop
erty with 400 acres of adjoining
placer ground which they own, install
modern machinery and put a full
crew to work.
There are 9S miles of bitches con-
nected with the property, and the
water rights involved are among the
most valuable in the state. The water
Is delivered to the hydraulic giants
under a head of 800 feet.

Maps for Campers

Recreation maps of the Deschutes
Ochoco, Oregon, Siskiyou, Siuslaw
and Umatilla national forests of Ore
gon, and the Chelan, Olympic and
Washington national forests of Wash
ington have been completed by the
Department of Agriculture, and are
now being distributed to those who
desire them. These maps show the
available roads and trails, the loca-
tion of ranger stations, lookout sta
tions, and other points of interest on
the forests. A special map of the
Columbia Gorge park in Oregon is
also being distributed.
On the back of these maps are
printed a description of the forest
and other information of value to
campers and tourists, together with
rules regarding forest fires and the
sanitation of camps.
1t is planned to prepare and print
similar maps of the remaining ma
tional forests until all are covered.
The maps are especially useful to
hunters, fishermen, campers and
tourists on the national forests.
Copies may be obtained from the Dis
trict Forester, Portland, Ore, or
from the Supervisor of any forest for
which the map has been published.
