Billie Burke Wins
Ashland Hearts

The biggest crowd which has at
tended the Vining Theatre since "The
Spoilers" visited Ashland filled the
theatre completely last Thursday
evening to see Billie Burke in
Peggy" And the picture pleased
every one who saw it. Billie was per-
fectly irresistible and won her way
into the hearts of the audience in the
very first scene. The plot was clean
and easily followed, the characters Sc
lected showed the genius of the great
est director, and the settings were
perfect, but it was the charm of
Peggy which makes the picture really
great. The music which was written
for the play and played by the Vim
ing orchestra added greatly to its eff
fectiveness. Lloyd Stratton sang
Peggy" the song which was dedicat-
ed to Miss Burke, in most pleasing
manner, which won him hearty en-
core. 1t is such attractions as
Peggy" which have built up the rep
utation for the best in photoplays for
the Vining Theatre.

NUMBER 96
First" on
Pacific Highway

Division Engineer T. A. Bedford
of the California Highway Commis-
sion, with headquarters at Dunsmuir,
in a report to the commission says
that with the completion OF the state
highway between Chico and Ashland,
a distance OF 210 miles, thirty Of
thirty-six railroad crossings will be
eliminated, and plans for future road
construction provide for the removal
of the remaining six. Further, Bed
ford states that the elimination Of
these crossings was not accomplished
by bridging over or digging under
the railroad, but the manner in which
the highway was routed made it possi-
BILE to avoid the crossings. 1t is true.
he said, that in some instances the
relocating cost a great deal of money,
but considering that it shortens the
total distance eight miles, eliminates
the crossings and lessons the danger
to human life, the outlay seems
douhly justified.
He concluded his report with the
following:
at will, therefore, be safe when
the highway is finished, for the mo-
torist to drive from Chico to Orland,
in the sacramento valley, to Ashland,
Ore, without thought of grade cross
ings and fast moving trains, and il
everyone would stay on his own side
of the road and drive at decent speed
around the sharp curves, accidents
should be extremely rare and motor
ing in the mountains should be as
safe as in the valleys, and thousand
times more enjoyable.

Oak Grove Spoilers
Win Class B Match

A big spelling match was held at
the Wagner Creek school Friday be-
fore last. The two best spoilers from
each of. the following schools were
present. Tolo, Agate, Howard, Oak
Grove, Griffin Creek, Applegate and
Wagner Creek. The schools of the
county have been studying two special
lists of words this year, one of 1000
words and the other 500. These
words were used at first, and when
they were finished the review lessons
in the Champion Spelling Book were
used The match lasted from 2.30 to
5 p. m. The winners were Elizabeth
Meyer and Wilbur Godlove of the Oak
Grove school. They spelled all after
noon without miss. The two last to
be spelled down were Pearl Timmons
of Agate and Arthur Moore of How
ard. The winners of this match are
to spell in Medford at the county fair.
The last two are to act as alternatives.
The schools of the county are di-
vided into three classes, those of one
teacher, those of from two to five,
and those of from five up. The bet
ter teams from all the schools are to
meet at Medford during the fair and
spell all day. This is something new
out spelling teams. The
pupils are enthusiastic over it and
in consequence are doing the best of
work. The Oak Grove school had the
highest percentage of any school in
the county with less than five teach
ers; in fact, every one in the school
got 100 per cent.

Ashland Mine
Soon to Operate

The Ashland mine will be ready
for operation within the next few
weeks after several years of idleness.
A crew OF men is at work getting the
buildings into shape, hauling in tim
ber, lumber and supplies, and this
week will commence putting the ma
chinery into shape. W. A. Bartlett,
who has leased the property for a
two-year period, went to Portland
the last of the week to make arrange
ments for such of the machinery
needed as could not be obtained in
Ashland. Dave Goods teamsters are
hauling in lumber and pipe which
will be used in constructing a pipe
line to bring water from a spring in
Bear Gulch.
There is a ten-stamp mill at the
mine, and should this be put into
operation to its full capacity a crew
OF at least thirty men Will be needed
at the mine. The mill will be oper-
ated by steam for the present, al
though later electricity may be used.
The Ashland mine is considered to
be one of the big mines of southern
Oregon and for years turned out big
money for its owners despite the fact
that nothing less valuable than fif-
teen-dollar ore was taken out be-
cause of the fact that it had to be
hauled to Ashland to the stamp mill
which was operated here. Mr.. Bart
lett is very optimistic over prospects
at the mine.

Concerted Warfare
Is Necessary

About this season OF the year dan
delions. which cause the owner of a
well-kept lawn more agony than any
other thing except the neighbors'
chickens, begin to appear. To sue
cessfully combat the dandelions, con-
certed action everywhere in the city
is needed. Should one land owner
eradicate the pest from his yard and
his next door neighbor let the yellow
pest flourish, the efforts of the first
will have been in vain. Nature pro-
vides the dandelions with a very ef-
fective method for reproducing them
selves. When they "go to seed" the
breezes carry the little tufted seeds,
and, 10 and behold! today there is an
army of dandelions where yesterday
there was but one.
The time-honored method OF dig
ging up the weeds by the roots is eff
fective but requires unlimited time
and patience. A quicker method is
well worth a trial.
Experiments made by the Colorado
Agricultural College in the destruc-
tion of the dandelions prove that they
can be quickly and permanently
killed with very little trouble or ex-
pense. 1t was found that with three
applications at short intervals of a
20 per cent solution of iron sulphite
the yellow pests were completely
eradicated. After the first applica-
tion the dandelions turn black and
apparently die, but it was found nee
essary to repeat the dose to complete
their destruction. In the college
campus, which had practically been
taken by the dandelions, not curvi-
val was left after the third applica-
ton. It is suggested that the iron
sulphite be put on witch force spray.
The solution does not injure the grass
in any manner.

of the details of the charges made
against the Ashlanders. The case is
being tried this afternoon in the Ash
land city hall. Both of the men were
released on bail.
According to reports, sixteen boot
leggers were arrested yesterday in

are said to have been actively en-
gagged in disposing of number of
barrels of liquor which we're secreted
previous to January 1.
