Record-Breaking
Dry Spell Broken

With a light rainfall Friday after
noon, a dry period which has broken
all records which can be found in
the records kept by the local observ-
er came to a close. The rainless
period extended over forty yeight
days. But 80 inch has fallen since
early in August. The rainfall rec
ords kept here extend back but
twenty-thrce years, and in this time
no fall dry spell has approached that
of this fall. Coming at this season
of the year the lack of rain has done
practically on harm, but farmers and
fruit growers will welcome the rain
now as it will make fall plowing
more feasible. Fall pasture should
flourish under the present precipita-
tion.

Civic Club Has
Interesting Meet

At the regular meeting of the
Civic Improvement Club at Auxiliary
hall Tuesday afternoon a select and
appreciative audience listened atten-
lively to a program of more than
usual merit furnished by the mem
bers of the c. L. S. c. under the
able leadership of Mrs. ]. F. Rocho.
Mrs. Wolf stirred the hearts as
she sang so feelingly the touching
words of Carrie Jacob-Bond's "a Lit
tie Pink Rose" She was accom-
panied at the piano by Miss Mary
Young.
Then Mrs. Hilty carried the gath
ering back to old school days in her
sketches of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Julia Ward Howe, Helen Hunt Jack
son, Ella Wheeler Wilcox and Louise
May Olcott. Especially close and
dear are the recollections Of the
vivid human bond in Little Wom-
en-"
Every enfranchised woman of Ash
land should have listened to Mrs.
Presscott's lesson on the commission
form of government. In summing
up the essential advantages and fear
lures she proved its efficacy in:
First, the small number Of officers
required; second, their election by
the whole body Of voters instead of
by ward; third, the exercise Of ad-
oversight and broad
power as well as legisla-
tive authority by the board; fourth,
the assignment of each commission

responsible to the people; fifth, the

Ashland High UpSetS Dope and
Defeats klamath High 1876

minor injuries and one Klamath
man was carried from the field but
soon recovered.
Ashland gained pep" as the
fourth quarter progressed and
rammed the ball over after bringing
1t from their own forty-yard line
with a series of line punches. Har-
iell carried the pigskin over the last
white line. Goal missed.
klamath resorted to forward pass
es after this continually in an effort
TO score but met stone wall de-
tense which seemed to get better as
the game drew to a close.
Ashland was penalized forty yards
and Klamath five, all for technical
violations.
Much to the relief of the Ashland
fans who have seen teams built up
around stars in years gone by, only
to fail when the stars were forced
out by injuries and other causes, no
individual stood out brilliantly, but
every Ashland player was there" in
his particular sphere. Winnie, for
his offensive work in what was real
ly his first big game, and Lowe for
the capable manner in which he
stepped into Captain Cunningham s
Pace on the defense, should receive
special credit, however.
The Ashland team is a very prom
sing looking machine which the two
or three games prior to the big
events of the year, the Medford
games, should weld into an organ
ization capable of putting the red
and white football colors back where
they belong Injuries have been the
Dig handicap all year, and although
a sturdy string of second team men
are showing real stuff and coming
cut every night, the experience necr
essary for first team material is
lacking Ashland would have been
strictly up against it in the klamath
game had another man been taken
out, but several who are limping
ground at present will be in shape
for Fridays game at Klamath. The
entire Medford team was up to get
line on the locals who returned the
compliment Saturday.
The locals lined up with Buck and
Leavitt at ends, Jones and Furry
tackles, Spires and Tinker guards,
with Long substituting for Spires in
the latter part of the game, Young
center, Lowe, Bentley, Harrell and
Cunningham starting in the back
field and Whine replacing Cunning
ham.
Klamath used the following men:
Motschenbacher and Delzell, center;
Stearns, Carl Adams and Orem,
guards; Helhase and Hilton, tack
les; Riggs and Elliott, ends; Kiehl
I oster, Cecil Adams, Short and
Montgomery, backs.
The officials were: Motschen-
hacher, referee; Mowat, umpire;
Brewer, headlinesman.

Girl Returned
To Reform School

The last chapter of the escapade
of Winifred Coldwell, formerly of
this city, who escaped from the Ore
gon reform school, is told in the
stilted legal language of the court
record in the Yreka News as fol-
lows:

of Clara w. Caldwell. Petition for
writ of habeas corpus, filed October
20. In her petition it is claimed she
was unlawfully imprisoned and re-
strained from her liberty; further
that she was detained upon the pre-
tended claim that she is fugitive
from justice from the state of Ore
gon, which she denies. The petition
claims that she has never committed
any crime, that there is no indict-
ment found against her, nor has she
been committed to any prison or
home of detention. The court di-
rected the responsible parties to have
the girl in court on October "a. In
the meantime extradition papers call
ing for the return to Oregon Of the
girl, charged with escaping from n
reform institution, were issued Mon
day at the governors office in Sac
ramento.
"The girl, sixteen years Of age,
escaped from the Oregon Industrial
School at Salem last September, in
company with twelve other girls.
She eluded the Oregon authorities
and went to Hilt to live with rela-
tives. The Oregon authorities came
here and after investigating the case
applied to Governor Johnson for ex-
tradition papers. The girl retained
attorneys and fought extradition.
Judge Lodge, after the issue Of
extradition papers, dismissed the
case and the girl was taken into GUS
tody by the Oregon authorities on
Tuesday and returned to that state"

Campaigners Kill
Deer with Rock

BY far the most thrilling occur
renee of the 1916 political campaign
in Jackson county occurred Thursday
when j. B. Coleman Of Talent, who
is running for county assessor on the
republican ticket, while campaigning
in the district along Applegate river
killed q fine spike buck with rock,
Mr.. Coleman and DR.. j. F.. Hart Of
Talent, in the latters automobile,
were driving up what is known as
the "Flume grade" on Big Applegate
where the road winds along above
the river, which is enclosed by pre-
cipitous walls of rock. The water
lies in a vast pool with falls at the
upper end. The men noticed deer
swimming across the pool toward
them and Mr.. Coleman jumped out
and, taking up his position at one of
the two possible places for the deer
to climb the bank, pelted the animal
with rocks whenever he approached,
while DR.. Hart held the fort at the
other landing. After heaving rocks
until the river was almost damned
up, Dr. Hart finally bounced a good
sized boulder off the deer's head and
put him under for the count. With
the aid of a long pole they fished
out the carcass and bore the deer in
triumph on the rest of their tour.
Luckily one Of the men had his hunt
ing license along, as the county
game warden was met up with at the
little settlement of Buncom. Both
Of the participants in the unusual
killing are nursing sore arms as a
result Of the bombardment.

Upsetting the dope" in a most
thoroughly efficient manner, Coach
lleidenreich's Ashland high school
football team proceeded to outplay
klamath Falls in every department
OF the game last Thursday and won
a well-deserved victory of 13 to 6,
which is a just comparison of the
brand of football displayed by the
opposing teams. The game was the
cleanest, fastest football and one OF
the best exhibitions ever seen in
ashland. Not semblance of rough
play or of Grabbing" marred the
game, while at the same time
fight" was not lacking in either
team and the play was at times ter
rifle. Battling from one end of the
field to the other, both teams exhib-
tied remarkable gameness, and had
il been written in the stars for Ash
land to have been beaten, the locals,
both players and spectators, would
not have begrudged the game, gen.
tlemanly klamath boys a victory.
A good-sized crowd, made up in
the main of students of the high
school and the grades, who, by the
way, enlivened the game with we'll
organized roofing throughout, was in
attendance.
Ashland hopes suffered a relapse
when on the third play Captain Les
lie Cunningham got his neck pretty
nearly uncoupled in a terrific tackle
and had to be taken out of the
same. Whine took his place and
gave an exhibition of line plunging
through the four quarters which has
marked him as the coming star of
the year.
Ashland scored in the first quar-
ter after a series of line plunges,
bentley carrying the ball across af-
ter Whine had spurted through
tackle for a fifteen-yard buck.
The quarter ended with the ball
near the center of the field, and soon
after the beginning of the second
period klamath opened up a sack
full of forward passes and deceptive
end runs which soon brought the
tall within scoring distance, and al
though the Ashland line held for
two downs, it finally was carried
over. klamath missed goal and the
score stood to 6, Bentley having
converted the Ashland try at goal.
Through the rest of the second
period and the third quarter the
teams fought like well-matched tug
of-war teams, swaying from one
thirty-yard line to the other, pound
ing line bucks being alternated with
forward passes. Both teams were
exceptionally strong with the aerial
game or else lacking in defense
against the passes of their oppon-
ents, as both completed more than
half of their tries, which were num-
eIous and which made the game es-
pecially interesting to the spectators.
