power engine, perfect in every detail,
while a well-organized fire depart
ment stands ready at any moment to
subdue the most threatening confla-
grafton. Mr.. Joseph Webster is the
experienced, capable and polite
schools engineer. Frankliu's schol-
ars are many removed from the
blighting influences of the society
set in life; their studies are little
interfered with by unworthy attrac-
tions, and Mr.. Reed always has a
word of reproof to pupils inclined to
associate themselves with extrava-
CANT dress in the school room, at any
time.
The teaching of Spanish in the
Seattle public schools, in view of de-
velopments after the terrible war has
run its course, is almost a mania,
and the commercial world regards
its requirement as a necessity if we
are to hug the Monroe doctrine as
tenaciously in the future as we have
in the past. To be ignorant of a ma
tion's language is to handicap every
effort in the direction of trade and
good will. and so the nation is seek
ing extended business relations with
the several countries in South
America in talking back" to desir-
able customers in their own tongue.
The Spanish language is thoroughly
we'll taught in the Franklin high.
Miss Agnes Quigley, graduate OF
Broadway high with the degree of
B. A. from the University of Wash
ington, stands at the head of this
department and not only teaches the
grammar with unerring accuracy, but
speaks the language with the utmost
fluency. Miss Quigley is prime
basketball player, has charge of the
athletics and believes that physical
exercise is the happy instrument of
creating and maintaining a sound
mind in wholesome body.
An orchestra of twenty-five pieces
furnishes capital music for Franklin

County Clerk
Does efficiency pay?
The following letter from ac-
cOuntant gives some reasons
for voting for present clerk:
Corvallis, Ore, Sept. 1S, 1916.

corvallis, Ore., sept. 10, 1910.
Mr.. G. A. Gardner, Jacksonville, Ore.
Dear Sir: | have just received
your semi-annual statement, and it
shows the county's affairs up in fine
shape.
1t is a great pleasure to get a
statement which can be relied upon.
Among the several counties where l
work, | am glad to testify that Jack
son county is now one of the best
administered in the state. Your Of
flee, the Sheriff's, the Treasurer
and the Recorders can not be beat.
When l began to audit Jackson
county in 1909 there had never been
an audit of the affairs of the county,
and naturally there were some things
to correct. Especially as l went back
of that time ten years, but since the
audits have been made regularly
since that time, the county has been
coming to the front better and better
until now it can not be beat.
was never more surprised, and
agreeably surprised, than last winter
when / found the offices in such uni
form excellent condition. 1t speaks
volumes for the business of audit
ing, and 1t speaks more for the in
dustry, care and attention of the Of
ficers. Yours truly,
], H. WILSON.

Thirteenth Was Unlucky Day

Friday, the 18th, seems to be very
unlucky to some people. Frank
Gates of Warner valley and Emery
Neal of Yank Gulch started to Med
ford on rushing business, and when
close to the old Reams place one cart
wheel got to groaning and took a
severe pain and jumped the fence.
The lasso was got in quick action
and the runaway wheel captured and
placed back on the cart.
All went we'll until down at the
Phoenix depot, when the train came
along, and the cart got frightened
and died a sudden death. The last
seen of Frank and Emery, they were
headed toward Medford, leading
horse each and a nose bag of barley
on their shoulder and coaloil can
in their hand.-Contributed.

Eva Tanguay
Coming to MedfOrd

Eva Tanguay, the cyclonic, and the
greatest eccentric comedienne that
this country has ever produced, has
come under the direction of William
Morris and will make a tour of the
country, supported by specially Sc
lected company of international
stars, appearing at the Page, Med
ford, on Monday night, November 8.
Miss Tanguay is one of the most
remarkable women the stage has
ever produced. The stage is like an
exhaust vent for her magnetic tenn
perament, her waking moments are
full of action, full of vivacious ebul-
litions which are as contagious as a
germ disease. No one can be near
Miss Tanguary or witness her per-
formance from across the footlights
without feeling the electricity of her
wonderful personality. She is not
only the highest salaried artist on
the stage today, but she is as well
the best known and probably. the
best beloved. She has established
the record of having played to the
largest audiences ever assembled to
hear any single artist in America,
and it might be we'll to state here
that an early visit to the box office
will be necessary in order to obtain
seats for her performances in Med
ford.
Mr.. Morris has given Miss Tan
quay the, support which her preemi-
nence in her profession demands.
Chief in her support is Charles j,
Ross, a comedian of splendid talent
and the best known portrayer of
travesty in America. In addition to
an act which he will present with his
company, entitled "Just Like Wom-
an" Mr.. Ross and Miss Tanguary
will do travesty on "Salome"
which is promised to be one of the
biggest sensations that the stage has
seen in years. This presentation
will be entirely apart from Miss Tan
guay's speciality, in which she will
present all her famous songs and ex-
hibit her wonderful gowns. There
is also included in the bill M. Rudi-
noff, a Russian performer, new to
this country, who promises another
sensation with his Smoke pictures
and whistling specially. Others on
the bill are Weber, Dolan and Fra
zer, a trio of very clever entertain
ers; the Leddy brothers, late clowns
at the New York Hippodrome, in
mirthful act, and a number of others
of equal note. The sale of seats for
this extraordinary entertainment
opens at the Page box office on Fri
day morning, November 8.

Any dear old people at home? Isn't
it your duty to get their pictures
while they are still with you? I'M
press upon the old folks the fact that
having their photographs taken in
our modern studio is pleasure and
not an inconvenience. Then, too, If
they prefer, with our improved ap-
paratus we can come to your own
home and photograph the old people
among their accustomed surround
ings. Many duties put off from day
to day are remembered with regret
when it is too late. Studio Ashland,

SeattIe's Magnificent High School.
CRv Henry G. Gilmore

Seattle's Magnificent High School.
(By Henry G. Gilmore.)
Seattle has several noted high
schools, but none of them are com
parable in point of architecture,
solidity of construction, and perfect
equipment in every detail, with the
recently constructed Franklin, COM
manding a most impressive situation
in close proximity to beautiful Mt.
Baker park.
Broadway high, on Broadway and
Pine, is the precursor of Seattle's eff
forts to be anything but a back num-
ber in the race of educating the
"rising generation" whatever that
may be taken to stand for in the on
ward progress of scholastic life.
Despite a redistribution of school
areas it still has a daily attendance
of over 1000 pupils, but without
that refreshing influence that con-
spires so largely to invigorate and
give zest to all that follows in the
wake of beautiful natural surround
ings:
Few people visit Tacoma without
being impressed, as a structure, with
the new Lincoln high, to say moth.
ing of the Stadium, which will ac-
commodate a multitude of sight
seers on high days and holidays.
Notwithstanding this confession OF
strength and adaptability, the fact
remains that the Tacoma product is
nowhere in the race of actual up-to-
date service and equipment, and is
conceded to be without a peer this
side of the Germanized and enter
prising city of Milwaukee, Wis. Mr..
]. H. Reed, who was principal of the
old Franklin high, holds the sceptre
in promoting the interests, on solid
foundation, of the new high. Mr..
Reed is president enough to antici-
pate the future by wisely and eff
ciently providing for it. Assisted hy
Miss NJ. Ethel Dean, who has over
sight of the clerical and stenographic
work throughout the institution, Mr..
Reed is happily placed by the serv-
ices of a coadjutor who thoroughly
understands her business and never
neglects to perform it. Including
the site, Franklin high cost s475,-

has over 1900 pupils; SO members
of the faculty, with library-exclu-
sive of text books-of $500 volumes.
It's master clock, made by E. Howard
& Co. of Boston and installed by
Joseph Mayer & Bros. of Seattle, cost
$4,000, and is so electrically con-
structed as to bring itself into COM

same persuasion in this busy hive OF
educational industries. The heating

of the Franklin high are furnished

History of an Old Relic.

A short time ago an article ap-
peared in a Portland paper descrip-
tive of an old sideboard, a family
heirloom which l have been privi-
legged to own for the past three and
a half decades.
The article was written by a guest
who dined with us not long ago, and
who made rather incorrect account
of the old relic. An Ashland friend
who had seen this beautiful piece OF
antique asked me for a correct de-
scription, which is as follows;
It stands eight feet high, mass
of hand carving of exquisite designs,
and weighs about 500 pounds, and
was constructed in the state of Mas
sachusetts in 1853 by an ancestor,
Paul De Wolfe. On July 10 Of the
above year it was presented to his
beautiful daughter, who became a
bride.
Infants have gazed into and grown
gray before its old mirror, which is
still intact. It in time became the
property of my father, ]. B. Mou-
sette, late of Grand Forks, N. D., and
while in his possession Rutherford
B. Hayes, General W. T. Sherman
and Governor Knute Nelson were
served to dinner respectively from
its spacious marble top.
How many children have gathered
around It on feast days to view the
pies, cakes, doughnuts, fruits and
Jams. in some cases who we're not

RELIGION TOO MUCH
FOR OSCAR PRIEST
Since He Joined the "Holy
Rollers His Brain Has
Been Affected.

His ardent faith in the creed OF
the "unspoken tongue" and the relig-
ious band known as the "Holy
Rollers" finally led Oscar Priest be-
fore an insanity commission yesterday
where he was found to be insane and
ordered committed to the sanitarium
at Ninita. Priest worked until several
months ago for the Singer Sewing
Machine company. but his religion
claimed most of his time and he final
ly quit telling his wife lit was a crime
to pay rent and the Lord would pro-
vide"
During Priests examination he de-
ella red he had never known real re-
ligion until he came to Tulsa with his
family and Joined the "IIoly Rollers. "
TO every question asked him he would
reply by quoting verses and chapters
from the Bible. He admitted striking
his wife but said he had merely
slipped momentarly back into the
hands of the devil.
Mrs. Priest declared her husband
had threatened several times to dc
her bodily harm since he had acquired
his new religion, because she refused
to live with him in a tent. She said
he had taught the children to repeat
all day long, Praise the Lord"
on the other hand Priest said that
his wife would not allow the children
to so to Sunday school and that she
continually harangued him about his
religious belief.
Neighbors said that Priest has not
been himself since joining the "Rol-
lers" and has talked of nothing but
religion since.

CINCINNATI, March lj.-Tho box
ing game in this city is likely to be
affected to considerable extent, ac-
cordinG to local promoters of the
fistic art, if the boxing bill legalizing
l5-round bouts in Kentucky becomes
a law. The bill has passed the lower
house of the Kentucky legisla ture
and now goes to the senate where il
is reported to be rather favorably
looked upon. The local promoters
would undoubtedly operate in either
Newport or Covington, Ky. across
the river, in order To stage bouts of
more than ten rounds The new Gin
cinnati boxing commission has made
many innovations since it was APP
pointed several months ago. one of
these is that tanning the boxer with
towels IS prohibited, palm leaf fans
being supplied for this purpose. An
other rule is that gloves must be
douncd before the boxer enters the
ring, in order not to delay the bout.

watch each man put on his gloves.
