Liquor Imports
Gain 800 Per Cent

Summer weather, monster cele-
bration and other less important fac
tors contributed to an increase in
the amount of beer shipped into Ash
land of over 200 gallons. The July
shipments included 969 gallons as
against 126 gallons in June, or an
increase of 300 per cent. One hun
dred and fourteen quarts of whiskey
we're signed for during the past
month, as against 64 quarts in June.
Alcohol which has not been signed
for in the past was brought in to the
extent of 21 quarts; brandy one
quart and wine one quart. Over half
of this was shipped in within the
first six days of the month, or during
the celebration period, and the police
records show it to have been signed
for mostly by strangers. Many of
the consignees were California people
who either failed to bring a large
enough supply with them or were
afraid that they would be intercepted
and relieved at the border line be-
tween the states.
Eleven arrests were made during
the month and nine men who had
drank mot wisely but too well' were
allowed to find accommodations in
the city Jail overnight.
Six hundred and nineteen hoboes
we're cared for by the police during
July, an average crop. Eighteen
merchants were hauled out in the
early morning hours to come down
and lock doors which they had care
lessly left unlocked. The total alb
sence of any crimes during the cele-
bration speaks highly of the efficien-
cy of the police.

Red Bluff Loses
Division Aug. Is

II has been announced officially
from railroad headquarters that on
August 10 the southern terminal OF
the Shasta division will be changed
from Red Bluff to Gerber, a new
town eight miles south of Red Bluff
and three miles north of Tehama.
Gerber will be the dividing point be-
tween the Shasta and Sacramento d.
visions.
The removal of the division point
from Red Bluff to Gerber has been
in contemplation for several years.
The change was railroad necessity,
because the growth of business had
made it impossible to handle division
business expeditiously in the yards
in Red Bluff. Larger yards-yar6s
free from street crossings-were
needed imperatively. So the COM
pany bought large track of level
ground at Gerber, ana there is To De
the division point.
Train crews that have been max
ing their homes in Red Bluff will in
time move to Gerber. The loss to
Red Bluff is serious, but it has been
discounted for years.
Locomotive engineers, firemen and
freight crews running on the south
end of the Shasta division will now
have to cover 112 miles, instead OF
1O4 as before. The same crews from
Sacramento will have to cover 12+
miles instead of the 1872 miles be-
tween Red Bluff and the capital,

Lithia Park Makes Great Impression
Upon Editors Of the State Papers

Editors and their wives to the total
number of 140 were guests of Ash
land in Lithia park last Friday even
ing, and it will not be long before
typewriters are hammering out and
pencils are scribbling the glories of
Lithia park and the beauties of Ash
land all over the state. The editorial
party were taken over the high
drives early Friday afternoon and
then over the magnificent Siskiyou
Highway to the summit of the Siski-
yous. To a man the visitors pro-
claimed the Siskiyou Highway to be
the greatest mountain road they had
ever travelled
Returning to Ashland, the party
was taken up through Lithia park to
the picnic grounds, where a unique
luncheon in the form of a box lunch
was served on the tables beneath the
trees. Coffee was served by bevy
of charming young ladies of Ashland.
Mayor Johnson welcomed the ed
itors with brief address in which he
told some of the history of the Ash
land park system and invited and
urged the visitors to visit all parts
of the park and the Original camp
ground" particularly. Phil Bates re-
sponded in brief Witty manner. E.
3. Piper of the 0regonian praised
the hospitable welcome which had
been extended and stated that
southern Oregon has exceeded all
my expectations. He told two or
three stories of which Major Patton
of Hoquiam. Wash, was the butt, the
major getting even a few minutes
later when he was called upon to
speak. w. B. Jessup, president of
the Washington State Press Associa-
tion, gave a short and interesting
talk.
The party then broke up to walk
over the park and admire its night
beauties. Practically all of the party
visited the auto camp and all drank
lithia water at the fountains. The
Oakland boys band in concert enter
tanned the visitors for an hour and
many remained for the dance which
followed at the Bungalow. About
four thousand people thronged the
park for the concert, the crowd max
ing a lasting impression as being in
dicative of the. drawing power of the
park.
Every one of the visitors was
charmed with the entertainment pro-
vided and amazed at the wonders of
Lithia park, AS a matter Of fact
Lithia park, next to Crater Lake, was
the sensation of the trip to the ed
itors, and more talk of Ashland and
Lithia park was heard around the
Hobbies where the visitors congregat-
ed in Medford than of any other fea-
ture of the southern Oregon conven-
tion, which is conceded to have been
the "red-letter" convention of the as
sociation in every way.
The city council aided in the enter
tainment of the editors by donating
$50. Arrangements were in the
hands of a committee consisting of
H. O. Frohbach, E. j. Kaiser, Fred
Wagner and Frank Jordan, and
thanks are due the Commercial Club,
the committee and the ladies who as
sisted in serving.
