James Smallwood Back From Eastern
Visit

James F. Smallwood returned We'd
nesday from a months visit with
friends in the east. His sister. Miss
Lulu Smalwood, who accompanied him
stopped off in Minneapolis to visit
friends. They spent ten days in Day
ton, O., and visited Buffalo and the
Niagara Falls. They returned from
Buffalo to Detroit by boat and had a
delightful trip.
At Dayton, Mr.. Smallwood met II.
W. Sender, a former Ward county
farmer, who lived for years northeast
of Mnot. He is living on IA acre
farm close to Dayton but says he is
dissatisfied and will soon return to
North Dakota, where he can farm 600
acres.
Mr.. Smallwood says that business
was never so good in the east as it is
today. There is shortage of en-
ployes in every line. The munition
factories are paying $40 to S25 a day
for common laborers and many men,
women and children are finding en-
ployment in these factories. Mr..
Smallwood says that the businessmen
Of the east are just as good hustlers
as those in the west.

Niger BUTLER SLASHED
COLORED WOMAN'S THROAT
Colored Man Under Arrest for At
tempting to Murder Dusky Belle
At Coon Celebration

James Butler, burly negro, slashed
the throat Of Marie Richardson. a COL
ored wench, in an attempt to take her
life at 4 colored picnic held at Jacob
sons ranch, eight miles west of Mi
not on the evening of July 4. Butler
was placed under arrest immediately
and brought to Minot where he was
lodged in the county Jail. The woman,
VINO mad narrow escape from death,
was hurriedly brought to the city in
an auto where a large number of
STITCHES were taken in the wound. Her
throat had been cut across for several
inches but the jugular vein had not
been severed. She is in a local hospi-
tai where it is said she will recover.
Butler, it is said, made threats that
ne would take the colored womans life
before he started for the picnic. He
pulled a razor from his pocket and
without warning slashed her in a hor-
rible manner.
Butler was arraigned Wednesday
but asked for a preliminary hearing
which was held today before Justice
Willis. He was placed under $1,000
bonds pending his hearing.
He is said to be one of the new "nig-
gers" who have come to Minot to live,
and he is undoubtedly one of the worst
in the lot. Minot's colored population
has been increased to such an extent
that there are in the neighborhood of
a hundred coons living here at present.
just why Butler tried to kill the COL
ored girl the authorities do not know
at this time, unless he was in love with
the dusky belle and had reasons to be-
lieve that she did not return his affec-
lions.

Why Most Cars Fail


In the IS years since Mitchell started
hundreds of makers have fallen. And
hundreds more will fall.
They fail through lack of service. Time
proves that rival cars outwear them.
So in every line. Records show that
not one in ten meets the test of time.
This concern was 20 years old when
it built the first Mitchell car. We knew
what Times verdict meant. So we
never attempted a quick SUCCESS. We
built for the years to come.
That was one reason why we secured

That is due to factory

Federal Control
OF Fruit Problem

Government aid in controlling dis
tribution of the cantaloupe crops OF
the Imperial valley in California
might well be adapted to the disposal
of fruit in the Rogue River valley,
and especially to the marketing OF
perishable fruits and berries. Dur
ing a recent visit to San Francisco
an Ashlander who is making study
of fruit marketing problems con-
ferred with Southern Pacific off
cials and gained some interesting in
formation regarding the federal com
troll of the cantaloupe distribution.
The following article was sent to him
by the Southern Pacific people:
THE Imperial valley cantaloupe
has gained sufficient fame to be
missed when it is not on the mar
ket. Proof of this is found in the
United States Department of Agri-
cultures assignment of o. W..
Schleussner, one of its commission
ers, to Brawley, where he directs a
federal distribution of the melons
throughout the country. Schleuss-
ner, with the cooperation of the
Southern Pacific and Pacific Fruit
Express companies, is charged with
the responsibility of so distributing
the carloads of cantaloupes in such a
way that there shall be no uneven
distribution and no disorganizatlon
Of prices. The Southern Pacific and
the Pacific Fruit Express are calling
on the shippers in advance for an
idea of their car requirements. These
reports, in turn, are being turned
over to Schleussner, who selects the
destination for each carload. New
York, for instance, takes sixteen car
loads day, Chicago does the same.
and Pittsburg requires eight The
governments idea in regulating the
distribution is to arrange 1t in such
way that the producer shall sell his
cantaloupes for a fair price, and the
consumer shall get them for a fair
price In regulating the destination
of shipments the government sees to
it personally that while the canta-
loupes reach all the various markets,
none of the latter is glutted with
melons. At the same time it inter-
feres in no wise with the price or
settlement, confining its work to the
proper distribution of the fruit. The
Southern Pacific is helping Uncle
Sam in this work by furnishing daily
reports of shipments and require
ments and the car destinations.

Chester Stevenson took a photo.

Chester Stevenson took a photo

projected a number of colored views
on the screen.
Miss Mabel Russell's exhibit Of
paintings, including two beautiful
tapestries, her famous Mount Shasta
and Crater Lake paintings, her For
est Fire painting and a number of
other paintings and water colors, was
the most attractive and thoroughly
enjoyed part of the exhibit. Miss
Russell's art is becoming recognized
far beyond the environs of the Rogue
River valley, and Ashland has good
cause to be proud of her daughter.
A glass case Of daguerreotypes,
taken many, many years ago before
the day of scientific photography,
was one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the loan exhibit, as was also
the collection of views of Ashland as
far back as 1866. Several old-fash-
ioned photograph albums were dis
played.
The big feature of the whole affair,
the portrait loan exhibit, can hardly
be described on paper. Any one
could have spent days in looking over
the more than 500 pictures which
had been so kindly loaned from Ash
land homes, and the older residents
especially could not seem to get
enough OF pouring over the old
scenes and faces. A hundred pic
lures deserve especial mention and
nearly all would form material for a
story of their own. II you did not
see them you missed it, that's all.
The old photos were gathered In
groups as follows Ministers, Wed
nesday Club members, church mem
bers, doctors, business men, former
teachers, former residents, pioneer
and old family groups, native son'
and daughters, school groups, ole
views of Ashland, Buckhorn Lodge
glass cases for daguerreotypes ant
tintypes, old family albums, Old views
of Ashland as far back as 1866.
Miss Patterson, chairman of thu
committee who had the affair In
charge, and her many Woodworking
aides deserve the highest commenda
tion for their unremitting efforts
The affair was such a success as only
the ladies of Ashland are capable OF
scoring.

Kelly Says Booze
Law Is 0beyed

"There have been only twenty-five
shipments of liquor to Medford Sc
far this month" said Prosecuting Az
torney Kelly last week. "There have
been only two arrests in this county
for drunkenness since the prohibition
statute became effective on the first
of the year. Lawler, given jail SEN
tence yesterday for being drunk, OBJ
tanned his liquor from Hornbrook
Cal. One of the shipments of liquor
to Medford was to an eX-saloonkeep-
er, showing that he had not kept a
supply for distribution. The law is
respected, in fact, beyond the most
optimistic hope, so far.
"Old topers who live In the coun-
try districts now come to the city,
transact their business and go home
sober. Formerly 1t was different.
The people at all of the points in the
county where saloons were main
tanned are pleased with the apparent
ly perfect operation of the law-and
they will practically all help to main
tain it, The only danger lies in the
unlawful carriage of booze into the
county from California. Careful
watch is being maintained for these
offenders. 1t is unlawful to carry
liquors into the county, except as pro-
vided by the new statute. 1t must
come by authorized common carrier,
not only to the city, but to the home
of the person who orders it.
"The governor has promised state
aid in patrolling Pacific Highway
That, together with the work of the
county patrolmen, will make the
highway safe place to travel, but a
hard road over which to carry liquors
unlawfully.
"There is no occasion for pessim-
ism over the manner in which the
law is being enforced. 1t is find
ing favor in all parts of the county.
Some bootlegging may be undertaken
by the class of men who sell booze to
Indians, but they will operate against
strong sentiment favoring their ap-
prehension-and they will soon be
caught.
"There is nothing in the vague ru-
NOR of an Illicit still in the county.
That report was run down and
proved to be a canard. ."-Medford
