months, were made at the govern ment radio laboratories, and the ac- tua1 tests on an ocean cable have been completed recently. The inn pavement consists essentially in the adaptation of the ticker and audion types of instrument used for receiv- ing the signals in radio telegraphy.
 The tests have been made on the government Signal Corps cable from Sitka, Alaska to Seattle, Wash, and the receiving apparatus was installed in the Seattle office. This cable is 1.0S6 miles in length and has a K. R. approximately equivalent to one of the Atlantic cables.
 '-The actual receiver is an ordinary telephone. The feeble current re- ceived is normally inaudib1e in the telephone. It is broken up by means of slipping contact ticker and rem dered audible. In order to secure greater sensibility tuned audion amplifier is used in connection with the ticker. The sensitiveness of this apparatus is so great that less than one-twentieth of the voltage neces- sary for operating the siphon record CT is sufficient to give good traffic sig na1s.
 '"The significance of this develop ment may be realized when we re- member that at present all the traffic for ocean cables has to be translated into an entirly different code at each end and that highly paid cable read CTS are required to decipher these messages. The present discovery brings the operation of ocean cables

SUBMARINE H-3
 WRECKED;. CREW
 OF 26 RESCUED
Brooches Buoy Used to Save Men Imprisoned on
 Grounded Boat.

Eureka, Cal, Dec. 15--By brooches buoy, the crew of A men and two
 officers of the United States subma-
 rine H-3, which grounded in the shoals at the entrance to Humboldt Bay at dawn yesterday morning, were brought ashore about 8 o'clock last
 night.
 r The submarine, accompanied by
 the HI and the H-2 and the U. s. $. Cheyenne, mother ship, hit sand spit in a fog at dawn while on her
 way from Puget Sound to the Mare Island navy yard. Her commander
 is Lieut.. H.s>R. Bogusch. With him
 was Lieut.. E. F. Zemke.
 The distance from the beach was about 400 yards, but from the shore it was not possible to do anything,
 for the sea stirred her so f1ercely that the men dared not pop their heads above the surface of the shell. Stuck, Helpless, In Mud. tore off bits of the superstructure. Soon after this swells lifted the ship out of her bed and carried her to within 200 yards of the shore, where she again pumped herself helplessly in the mud. Water, rushing into her, seemed to steady the submarine, but a sudden shift faced her length to the beach
 and once more exposed her to the
 caprices of the breakers, rocking her so that one man who emerged from her depths had to employ all his.
 strength and watchfulness to keep
 from being bounced into the water. Occasionally, in the fog clouds
 which settled on her suddenly and then were dissipated, it appeared that she had been sucked out to deep wa
 ter, but she came out of the white canopy in the same predicament as before.
 Her whistle Morsed the news that all aboard were safe, and let it go at
 that. But, as it turned out, her com plement of twenty-six were forced to
 crowd at the opening to the. coming
 tower in order to get air sufficient to dilute the gradually increasing fumes
 of chlorine gas generated by the en-
 zines.
 Late in the afternoon the blows of the sea became more violent, where
 upon the man who had been hanging
 on above was called in and the hatches were closed to prevent the intake of water. This was taken as a sign of renewed peril by the watch CTS, including Commander w. E.. Howe of the Cheyenne, who directed the shore work, and efforts were in- creased in behalf of the imprisoned. Several attempts to shoot a line to | the submarine were made. One line struck her, but no one was above deck to take it. At length, the sea 1 calming last night, heads appeared at
 the coming tower and line was fir
 ed to the ship. It was taken. On | the brooches buoy five men were taken
 out in few minutes. Within an hour
 the full twenty-six were brought off.

CABLE MESSAGES RECEIVED BY EAR
 BY NEW DEVICE

Washington, Dec. 14.-A technical discovery expected to revolutionize cable communication was announced by the War Department to-day. The discovery, the results of experiments ! initiated and carried out under the direction of Lieut. Col George O. Squier. U. S. A., chief of the aviation section of the signal corps, will per- init the reception of Morse signals in cable communication audibly instead of visually by flashes, as at present
 The principal drawback to cable communication has been the neces- sity of employing the visual recorder, requiring the employment of highly trained cable readers. The new in- vention-the "audion cable receiver i-is expected to do away with cable readers and bring the operation of ocean cables in line with land line and radio te1egraphy.
 The official announcement regard ing the invention follows in part:

Today Mrs. Kane and her friends
are improving every opportunity. In
the forenoon they took trip in their
machine to Longs cabin on the road
to Mt. Ashland and on the way had
an opportunity to see the hanging
rock, the "shut-in," Ashland Creek
falls and the many other charms of
the canyon. This afternoon they are
making a trip to the California line
over the Pacific Highway, and in the
evening will see Lithia park from the
plaza to the automobile camp in all
its natural beauty and with the charm
of the lighting effects besides. All
the ladies are delighted with Ashland
and surroundings. Miss Collamore
says that Chautauqua and Lithia
parks make her think of Manitou.

Plans For Stock Show.

The premium list for the annual
National Western Stock Show at
Denver has just been closed. The
dates are fixed for the week of Janu-
ary 20-27, 1917, and the classified
tion offers over $25, 900 in premiums
1t is one of the most attractive
classifications that have yet been is

that the next show will be equal II
not superior to all of the big shows
which have preceded. The dairy
show section will be made a special
feature at the coming show and will
be under the auspices of the State
Dairymen's Association.
Now is the time for those stock
men who have fine cattle to COM
mence to make their plans for the
annual exhibition. This is one of the
big western events Of each year and
already there is considerable interest
all over the west and many plans are
being made by the exhibitors as well
as by the show association. Copies

Wednesday Band
Concert Is Hit

The Wednesday night band concert
this week was easily the best yet and
aroused the good sized crowd present
to hearty demonstration Of appreci-
alton. The most popular selection
was a medley of old southern airs
which especially caught the fancy OF
the two hundred southerners return
ing from their picnic. An overture,
"The Iron Count" was also we'll re-
ceived. The program was well bal
anced and very we'll played. Ash
land has a good band, in fact the best
band that has played in this city this
year with the exception, of course
of the New York Marine band. The
visiting bands which come here have
new stuff" to Ashland band fans
and for the greater part play music
with which they are most familiar
The Ashland band is called upon for
two concerts week and new music
is demanded all the time.

Car Cranked in
Gear Kills Driver

William R. Osborn of Raymond,
Wash, lost his life in most peculiar
automobile accident eighteen miles
north of Grants Pass Monday.
In attempting to climb Wolf Creek
hill, eighteen miles north of Grants
Pass, where 25 per cent grade on
a narrow right of way confronts the
traveller, Mr.. Osborn killed his en-
gine. He left the car in gear, and
when he cranked the engine the car
shot up the side of precipitous
bank, fell back on him and crushed
him to death. It was evident that
Mr.. Osborn had made futile effort
to gain control Of the machine.
Death is believed to have been instan-
taneous.
When the engine was killed Mrs.
Osborn left the car to help her hus-
band, the only other occupant, search
for stone to hold the rear wheels
Otherwise she undoubtedly would
have been killed or dangerously in
jured.
Mr.. and Mrs. Osborn, accompanied
by the formers nephew, o. M. Lee,
and his wife in another car were on
their way from their home in Ray
mond, Wash, for a tour to Califor-
mia. The Lees drove up just in time
to witness the accident.
Mr.. Osborn was a prominent mill
wright of Raymond and was 54 years
old. He was member of the Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias.

journal journeys
Tell Of Ashland

The Oregon Journal is publishing
series of Journal Journeys" writ
ten by one of their special writer's.
No. 92 of the series takes the writer
to Ashland, and the following article
appeared:
Ashland is one Oregon city that
is making itself known as tourist
center. 1t believes in publicity and
it practices it. And it is constantly
engaged in constructive enterprises
that add to its natural attractions
and give it more than empty words
to use in boasting.
1.-The Carlsbad of America is one
expression that has been attached to
it, and is direct result of clever
publicity.
The city beautiful is triter
phrase, also definitely used in con-
nection with Ashland.
Ashland is located in southern
most Oregon in the Rogue River val
ley and on the Southern Pacific rail-
road. 1t has population of approx
imately G,000, and under the high
standards of municipal Identification
there are parks and park-like streets
and homes that harmonize.
Ashland has mineral springs.
There are forty or more in and about
the city. There are lithia, soda and
sulphur springs controlled by the city,
and efficient in treatment of stomach
and blood disorders.
But there are more than mineral
springs. Ashland creek brings from
the mountain tops pure, cold water
of quality like that of Portland's fam
Gus Bull Run supply.
"Scenically Ashland attracts. The
environment is mountainous. Be-
tween Ashland and Medford to the
north is the fine hard-surfaced noun
tain boulevard built by Jackson coun-
ty. The Rogue river is always lure
to fishermen. The valley floor is
succeeded by rolling foothills and
sky-searching mountains. In the
canyons are streams that ripple for
the pleasure of anglers for trout, who
also are drawn by natures charms.
"The lands are fruitful. The clim-
ate is equable, there is much sun
shine, an average rainfall of 21 inch
es year, and the nights are always
COOL
ITO develop the mineral springs
to the greatest advantage the city has
bonded itself The municipality has
built lithia fountain
"Just now there is an Ashland
campaign to secure money with which
to improve the automobile road to
Lake of the Woods, up Anne creek
canyon. The lake is at the base of
Mt. Mclaughlin and the road is in
good condition to the boundary of the
forest reserve, beyond which the
county's funds are not available for
road construction.
Ashland is one of the gateways
for trips to Crater Lake, the caves Of
Josephine and other famous southern
Oregon scenic resorts.
Taken all in all, it seems to the
compiler of Journal Journeys that
Ashland is a good city to become bet
ter acquainted with"
