HOUSE GRANT WAS WH N
AUCTIONkD
Old Dent Home, Once 0ne ot
Best in st. Louis, Purchased
for $4,326.

St. Louis, Sept. 27.-The old
Dent home here, in which U. s.
Grant rant, then then Il captain in in the regu,
lar army was married to Miss
Julia Dent, was sold at auction
here today to John II. Gundlach
for 1895. Mr.. Grundlaeh bought
the home to preserve it.
=. The property was owned by
the board of education. Mr..
Gundlach said he was willing to
turn the home over to any 0rgani>
zation for the amount he paid for
it, and that he would hold the
property until a fund was raised
to purchase it for preservation as
historical relic.
The Missouri Historical SOeie-
ty has been raising a fund to pur~
chase the home.
AT the time of the Grant Dent
nuptials in 184S the house was ono
of the best in st. Louis. Today
the district where it is located is
a manufacturing and cheap room
ing house section. For time the
Dent home was ii rooming aud
boarding house where meals were
served for 20 cents.

last fall.
I. Question. You are right,
my neighbor just across the. road
>ewed his wheat last fall on Sep
tember 25 and the flies damaged
it badly last fall, but what can I
do
Answer. Organize your neigh
horhood and cooperate with every
wheat grower in your community
in putting into practice the meas
urcs that will control the pest.
II possible get all your neighbors
to destroy their volunteer wheat
and delay sowing until the fly
free date. -.-
Write to the College of Agricul-
turc, University of Missouri, Col

Triangle Pictures.

William s. Hart appears at the
Vining Theatre in a great Triangle
play, "The Disciple" Wednesday and
Thursday in conjunction with SEN
sation comedy Saved By Wireless. ."
The first play is a story of border
life with William Hart in the role OF
a missionary. His wife deserts him
for a gambler. The denouement is
thrilling. Those who have seen Will
liam Hart place him at the top in the
list of motion picture actors who
can act. His powers are given full
sway in "The Disciple" Saved By
Wireless" combines real comedy with
deal plot and a number of sensa-
tional aeroplane stunts auto and
motorcycle races and other features.

Elks' Anniversary Ball.

All is set for the premier social
event of the season. The committee
in charge has expended loads and
loads of energy in making this affair
the biggest and best ever. The music
will be the best obtainable, the Elks'
ballroom floor is the best in southern
Oregon, the banquet will be some
thing extraordinarily good, and many
special and unique features have been
arranged which will make anything
ever staged in an Ashland ballroom
fade into insignificance. Dancing
will commence at and last until
well, until everybody has enough.

Ashland Wins
S. O. Championship
CONTINUED from Page One.)

Medford girls by II to Z score and
the Ashland boys won their fourth
straight game from Medford Satur-
day night in the concluding games OF
the series between the rivals. The
score of the boys game was 20 to 19.
The Ashland girls found the bas-
ket better Saturday night than in
previous games, and played rings
around their opponents, who seemed
satisfied since the game the night
before had given them the girls
championship. Medford won the
third and Ashland the fourth. Had
the tie game been played off the
Ashlanders might still be in the run
ming, but under the circumstances
the girls will have to wait another
year.
For five minutes at the end of the
last boys game the Ashland team hit
the pace which those who know their
work hoped to see them evidence
throughout the series. Passing all
around their opponents and scoring
almost at will, the locals displayed a
few minutes of real basketball.
During the first part of the game
both teams scoerd several of the spec
tacular baskets the like of which
have made Grisez's name stand out
prominently from the series. GriseA
tossed three, one a left-handed shot
which was really the prettiest shot
of the series. The score at the end
of the first half stood &C.. The Med
ford boys seemed determined to fight
to the last and played their best
Along toward the middle of the sec
ond half the locals seemed to awaken
to the fact that the game was in dan-
ger and proceeded to show MedfoGI
some of the fastest basketball whlch
that team has ever met up with.
Delsman broke loose down the floor
time after time and the whole team
took on an aggressiveness which
brought the results. Medford scored
seven points against Ashland's four
teen in the final period. Fraley
tossed four fouls out of four tries,
while Thomas of Medford was able to
convert but one of the same number
of tries.
Just before the beginning OF the
last half, e. V. Carter in a short talk
both teams on the
sportsmanship shown throughout the
season and the schools and coaches
for developing teams which ranked
with the best in the state. On be-
half of the admirers Of the team
among the business men of the town
a bouquet of beautiful carnations
was presented to the team. The boys
cheered the speaker, and then to
show their appreciation turned loose

Coach Klum of Medford injected sew
eral new players into his lineup il
an attempt to stem the tide of battle
in the last half.
The line-ups and points scored
were as follows. Ashland: Harris
2, Grisez 6, Fraley 6, Plymate 4,
Delsman 2. Medford; Narragen 4,
Williamson 2, Thomas 4, Tourney
Young 2. Referee, Cooper
The managements of the teams are
to be complimented upon their selec-
tion of Harry Cooper of Corvallis as
referee. Mr. Cooper was absolutely
Just and fair, and not kick was
heard from either players or audi
ences over his decisions. He kept
the game going at high speed and
free from roughness. 1t is to be hoped
that we may see more of him next
year when the championship fight is
again on.
Quiet and unassumng, lacking the
buster and bluff of many coaches,
true sportsman to the core, always
willing to give the other team the
best of it and then by honest effort
to win, respected by all who have
come to know him, Coach Hutchison
must get the credit of giving Ashland
a big year and a great year in ath-
letics. Starting with pitifully
small squad of green football materi-
al. the Purdue man turned out team
which was scored against but once
in the 1915 season. The material
was the poorest ever assembled at
the beginning Of an Ashland football
season, and the finished product one
of the best balanced teams ever
turned out. And more, the last years
men were given a foundational edu-
cation in football which means big
things for next fall, when most Of
them will be back in suits.
