bT HE climax OF the social season at
Palm Beach, Florida, was the
= charming motion picture presenta-
ton of THE Island of Happiness" The
cast of this interesting aim was made up
entirely OF we'll known members OF fash
ionable New York society.

was worth the price. After this single
exhibition, II was said that the reels were

This seems a great pity, for here at
last would be a great educational oppor-
tunity. In these films we're real social
leaders, genuine heiresses and multi-mill-

society matrons, real society clothes, with
real society manners.
Here were to be seen actual photo
graphic visions Of just how men and

pockets or behind their backs, swing a

the thousand and one things which are q
mystery to the average American boy and
girl.
Fashionable society, OF course, lives in
q world apart. Ward McAllister asserted
that there we're only 400 properly accred-
ited names in the elite Of New York. and
he catalogued the list. And among these
400 II is impossible to find the name OF

Chas. B. Hughes Will Speak at
Depot August 18th at 4::5O pm.

Word was received today from S.
S. Smith of Medford, member Of the
state republican executive committee,
that Chas. B. Hughes will arrive in
Ashland at 1850 p. m. on Thursday,
July II, and will speak at the sta
tion here. A record-breaking crowd
is expected to assemble to hear the
republican candidate for president.
Mr.. Hughes will speak for few min
utes in Medford. The train upon
which he is travelling is No. Is, he
having special car, and stops for
twenty minutes in this city, thus CIV
ing ample time for a brief speech.
No doubt the valley committees will
send large crowd to Ashland. The
Medford republicans are endeavOring
to make arrangements to have Mr..
Hughes brought up from that city to
Ashland over the paved Pacific High
way by automobile, in which case he
would also probably be shown
through Ashland's park before speak

Deer Season Opens
At Sunrise Tuesday

The 1916 deer season opens at sun
rise in the morning, and from the
number of red-hatted citizens who
have been departing for the hills to-
day, the siege Of Verdun will have
nothing on the opening of the deer
season. Harry Hosler says he has
been busy all day writing out hunting
licenses. Everybody is going to that
place where / know big old buck
holds out" and will be waiting for
him in the morning.
E. E. Phipps was one of the lucky
ones who bagged deer on the open
ing day last year, and will go back
to the same hunting grounds, the
Colestin vicinity, with G. L. McKim-
mey, of the Elkhorn store.
E. R. Greive is going up to White
point to get an early start.
Bill Loomis, Bert Dennis, Pete Ahl-
strom and Charley Policy are away up
in the Umpqua river wilds.
A number of camping parties from
here who are out in the hills will
send their men folks out after veni-
son.
Look before shooting" is the mot
to. But the first two or three days
of the deer season are uneasy ones.

Ten Per Cent Pear
Loss From Wind

The heavy wind storm and rain Of
last Friday did but little damage in
the Ashland district. According to
County Pathologist Cate, the loss to
the valley pear crop will amount to
about 10 per cent, much less than
was estimated directly following the
storm. The damage was mostly to
young orchards, the older trees not
suffering heavily. In Ashland a few
peaches we're blown from the trees,
but apparently the wind did not gain
the velocity which it did in the lower
valley.
The Everfresh Food Company of
Sutherlin will handle the fallen pears,
according to announcement made in
Medford, and will pay SIG per ton for
fallen fruit, thus greatly reducing the
loss from this source.
Bose pears suffered the least of all
the varieties. Anjous and Bartletts
were the chief losers, falling heavy
in some districts.
The storm embraced an area Of
fifteen miles about Medford. There
was little wind at Jacksonville owing
to its protected position.

More GuardSmen
Called to the Border

Considerable interest has been
aroused among the membership OF
the local Coast Artillery company by
the report that $4,000 more national
guardsmen had been ordered to the
border. The troops will go from
Ohio and Kentucky mainly. It Is es-
timated that approximately 100000
national guardsmen are now on the
border. The Oregon guard is about
$50 short of standard strength and
new recruits are being trained at the
Clackamas camp and sent to the bor-
der as fast as possible. 1t is not
thought likely that the local company
will be called upon to 90 to the bor-
der.
The announcement was made along
with the order sending the additional
troops to the border, that no new eX-
igency had arisen, the troops which
are being sent having been ready to
go for some time, and the release OF
many of the guardsmen on the bor-
der for various reasons making the
movement advisable.

John Dill Heads
Auto Committee

John Dill is chairman and A. g.
Nininger and Thomas Simpson are
members of a committee appointed
from the Commercial Club to get to-
gether cars to bring the San Fran
cisco business mems excursion from
Medford to Ashland. The visitors are
the heads of the biggest firms in San
Francisco and are men upon whom
favorable impression Of Ashland will
count heavily. Probably twenty to
twenty-five cars will be needed, and
every car owner in Ashland should
be willing to donate his car for this
purpose. The party will be ready to-
leave Medford about 3:45 on Satur-
day, August 26, and will remain for
two hours in this city. They are
travelling in their own special train.
The trip through the valley and the
stay in Lithia park should be accom-
plished by Ashland in her most hos-
pitable manner. -y~Ls

Dr.. Ford Has High
Praise for Ashland

DR.. T. B. Ford of Salem, whose
chief laurels in the eyes of the news
papers of the state is the fact that
he is chaplain of the State Editorial
Association, and who outside of that
honor, or rather burden, is recognized
as one of the broadest, both in mind
and body, of the Methodist ministers
of the state and holds the superin-
tendency of the Salem district and
other honors, has been in Ashland
for the past week. DR.. Ford came
up from Salem to attend the state
editorial convention, and since he
had been to Crater Lake on other oc
casions and had fallen in love with
Lithia park, preferred to remain in
Ashland rather than go to the lake
with the newspaper men. He has
become great booster for lithia wa
ter and expresses his belief that With
a water cure sanitarium costing
s150,OOO or so, Ashland would soon
become a water cure resort of ma
tional fame.
81 think your park and, in fact, the
whole city is an earthly paradise"
stated Mr.. Ford. Between British
Columbia and Los Angeles l know all
the cities on the coast, but none of
them can approach Ashland, in my
mind" He proclaimed the park and
mineral waters to be an invaluable
asset and expressed his belief that
great things are ahead of Ashland.
He left Sunday for Medford, where
he stopped for day before returning
north.

Next Sunday TO Be
MedfOrd Day in Park

Next Sunday, August 20, will be
Medford day in Ashland's Lithia
park. The largest crowd of the year
with the exception of the celebration
of the Fourth is anticipated. The
Medford band will play concert in
the main bandstand in the park and
thousands of Medfordites are plan
ming to spend the day in the park
The kindliest of feeling exists be-
tween Ashland and Medford, In direct
contrast to the bitter rivalry OF past
years. Medford is coming to look
upon Lithia park as the property OF
Medford and the valley as well as
Ashland. and Ashland is only too
glad to welcome all the valeyites to
the great new playground.
The Medford band was one Of the
most popular of the bands which
played here during the celebration,
and music lovers of the city are only
too glad to have an opportunity to
hear the band from the neighboring
city under the direction of Professor
Rowland.

Mayor Returns
From Long Tour

o. H. Johnson and his brother, j.
w. Johnson, of Medford, with their
families, returned Thursday from a
weeks automobile trip which took
them to Crater Lake and well over
into eastern Oregon. They motored
around Klamath Lake, fished every
where that fishing looked likely, and
had generally pleasant time. They
went about forty miles over into
eastern Oregon, and Mayor Johnson
says he is going back for a good long
stay so that he can visit five lakes
over in that country. He tells of
meeting couple at Crater Lake who
told him of the wonderful fishing at
Crescent Lake, which is about twen-
ty-five miles off the main travelled
road over in eastern Oregon. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Johnson's informants,
the most inexperienced fisherman,
woman or child could catch twenty
to twenty-five rainbow weighing
from one to three pounds in an even
ing's fishing, and an experts catch
would be measured only by the rapid
ity with which he could take the fish
off the hook.
Mr.. Johnson travelled over the road
from Pelican Bay to Crater Lake and
says it is in fine shape, even better
than the road up Rogue river. If
Ashland can get the road to Pelican
Bay open for automobiles new route
to Crater Lake, which will be the
most beautiful of all, will be opened
up.

Restrict Fishing
At Rogue Mouth

Local fishermen who have watched
steelhead fishing in the upper Rogue
river decline as the commercial fish
erman at the mouth got a firmer
hold on the fish-filled Rogue, are
jubilant over the announcement from
Marshfield that the State Fish and
Game Commission, which heard the
complaint of R. L. Macleay, who was
assaulted on Rogue river by Claud
Barton, declared that a dead line
would be established on the lower
Rogue near the entrance, to allow
the free flow of fish to the upper
river and to aid in eliminating the
constant trouble arising between the
Macleay interests and fishermen who
are operating for the Seaborg con-
cern.
Governor Withycombe, chairman
of the commission, said he believed
the dead line would be a successful
method of preventing further trouble
and intimated that fishing beyond
the line towards the sea would be
prohibited. State Game Warden Carl
D. Shoemaker was instructed to visit
Gold Beach and Wedderburn and
will arrive there next Thursday. The
hearing was on Friday and Mr.. Shoe
maker will establish the line. 1t was
believed that the distance from the
bar would be set at about 1900 feet.

POrtlanderS Get
Fine Steelhead

Portland Telegram: One of the
finest strings of steelheads ever
brought back from the Rogue river
district was brought in yesterday by
E. Dewitt Connell and DR.. r. B.
Brandon.
The fish were caught Monday and
Tuesday in the Rogue river about
thirty miles above Medford, at a
point short distance above a town
called Trail.
There were twenty of the steel
heads, ranging between ten and eigh-
teen inches in length. Five of them
ran about three pounds in weight and
three of them would so around the
eight-pound mark.
The anglers report that the water
in the Rogue river is unusually cold
for this season of the year, which
makes the fish full of fight and fit to
pu. up great battle, which they did.
They used a No. fly, a professor,
a gray hackle and royal coachman
in making the catch.
Z The fish are on exhibition in the
Ho1eyman hardware windows.

Seek u. S. Aid
For Caves Road

It now appears probable that in
the very near future Grants Pass is
to have access to the Josephine Coun-
ty Caves by fine government high
way, built to the very entrance Of the
marble halls. Every pressure is be-
ign brought to bear by the Grants
Pass people on the Interior Depart
ment to have a portion of the first
million of dollars, which will likely
be available this fall by the terms OF
the Shackleford bill, appropriated
toward the early construction of the
road from Grants Pass to the caves
The interest of the entire Oregon
delegation has been solicited and as
sured in the appropriation of por-
ton of the funds to the caves road
project. Head Forester Graves, as
we'll as the Grants Pass forestry Off
cials, are favorable to the PROPOSE
tion.
An automobile road to Josephine
caves means a great deal to Ashland,
since this city is already becoming a
basis for automobile trips to Crater
Lake and the caves. The end of the
present road, or the Caves Camp, is
less than two hours by AUTOMOBILES
from Ashland. Many automobile par.
ties have used the Ashland automo-
bile camp grounds as headquarters
for trips to the caves and other points
of interest in southern Oregon this
summer.

State Rifle Shoot
Postponed to Sept.

The state rifle meet will probably
be held on September 10, instead of
during August, as had previously
been intended, according to word re-
ceived by members of the local Coast
Artillery company.
The reason for the postponement
of the competition is assigned to
a lack Of federal funds, which are be-
ing held up by the delay in the pass
age of the army appropriation bill.
No money will be available until the
bill has been approved by congress.
