CHAPTER XI.
Seven Lean Kline

Billy Louise, having arrived I'M
expectedly on the stage, pulled off
her fur-lined mittens and put her
chilled hands before the swapping
blaze in the fireplace.
"I'll take a cup of tea, Phoebe,
but I'm not a bit hungry" she
said. "Has-anybody been here
lately?"
Charlie Fox, he come las
week. Marthy, she got rheumatis
In her knee"
t"I'll go up and see her when |
get rested a little. l feel tired to
death, somehow. Has-Ward been
around lately?".
Ward, he amt been here for
long time. l guess mebbe it's been
six weeks I amt seen him. You
let me drag this couch up to the
fire, and you lay down and rest
yo'self."
Billy Louise dropped apatheti-
cally upon the couch after Phoebe
had helped her pull off her coat.
She did not feel as though any
thing mattered much, but she
must go on with life, no matter
how purposeless 1t seemed.
After day or two Billy Louise
took up her work again. John
told her two of the best steers
were missing, and she could not
afford to let them stray.
And you looked good, all up
above here?" Billy Louise held
Blue firmly to a curved-neck,
circling stand, while she had a
last word with John before she
went off.
"All over" Johns mittened
gesture was even more sweeping
than his statement. 81 guess
mebby them rustlers git EN-"
well, l may not be back be-
fore dark, SO don't worry if I'm
late"
Billy Louise slackened the reins
and Blue went off with short,
stiff-legged jumps.
Through the sage-brush and
rocks, weaving in and out, slack
ening speed little when he went
down into deep gullies, thunder
ing up the other side, and racing
away over the level again, went
Blue.
Hold on, Blue!" Billy Louise
pulled up on the reins. There's
cattle down there in that bottom,
sure as you live.
One forms habits Of journeying.
Billy Louise had always loved the
Wolverine canyon, which branch
ed off from the first. As a child
she had explored every foot of
both, and had ridden the hills be-
yond. As a young woman her
cattle ranged at the head of the
canyons.
The river bottoms came as near
being unknown territory as she
could have found within 40 miles
of her home. But after q long
search she found the place where
she thought Blue could scramble
down.
1t was with a distinct air of tri-
umph that Blue reached the bot
tom, even tho he slid the last 40
feet on his launches and landed
belly-deep in a soft snow bank.
Blue scrambled out of the bank
to firm footing on the ripened
grass of the bottom, and, with a
toss Of his head, set off in a
swinging lope.
Billy Louise pulled Blue down
to walk as she drew near the
punched cattle and eyed them
sharply. They did not look like
any of hers, after all. They were
five dry cows and two steers.
One of the steers stood broad
side to Billy Louise. The brand
stared out from his dingy side,
the most conspicuous thing about
him. Billy Louise caught her
.. breath. There was no faintest
line that failed to drive its mes
sage into her range-trained brain.
She went hot with anger and dis
appointment and contempt.
Finally she swung Blue on the
downstream side and shouted the
range cattIe-cry. The animals

RAILROAD

RESTLESS. A cry for arbitration
between railroad brotherhOods and
companies is heard nearly every day
now from newspapers. What is this
arbitration" they are crying for?
Why do the railroad brotherhOods
sniff their noses proudly now and
steer away from arbitration?
For the simple reason that every
time they have arbitrated with rail-
road companies in recent years the
trainmen and enginemen have been
soaked and trimmed for suckers.
Only last year here in Chicago we
saw an arbitration board handing
down the big say-sO on wages and
working conditions for rail men on
SO western roads. And one of the
three umpires who cast a deciding
vote was Charles NageI of st. Louis,
shown to be a railroad lawyer, a rail-
road director and the administrator
of the Busch estate Of St. Louis, who
owns railroad stock in punches. Ask
ing wages increases tOtaling $4,000
600, the brOtherhOods actually got a
measly, stingy S1,00O,00O,> a lesser
percentage Of wage increase than

we're all for Americanism and pre-

privilege of each of us defining the
terms to suit himself. There is pre-

choice between the Americanism of
Hughes, Fairbanks, Crane, Penrose,
Barnes, SmOOt, Lodge, Nicholas

varieties of Americanism in each
group. After all, Wen have to go
considerably on what Wilson and
Hughes have to say for themselves.

Kentuckian
Tells Stories

A real southerner entertained a
good Chautauqua audience on Fri
day afternoon. Wood Briggs is a
story teller from Kentucky. He for
gets once in while and leaves out
some of his RS, but it is simply for
getfulness, not education, that makes
him do it. He is known as a story
teller and he is a good one. His old
negro is very real. He can give hu-
NOR and pathos in consecutive
breaths. He had his audience where
he wanted them after the first SEN
tence. His first number was a story
of the old Uncle Ben of the south by
Nelson Page. 1t was an in
teresting story in which jimmy, Uncle
Ben's wife, eased her mind. He next
gave Mark Twain's "a Toast to Ba
bies." Then to show that he could
read serious as well as humorous
stories, he gave Eugene Fields "Lit-
tie Boy Blue" This rendition of that
little poem made many appreciate it
who never liked it before. Now came
a very humorous negro conversation
over the telephone about a balky
mule. An original preparedness
poem entitled ITO Your Tents, o
Israeli was recited, which everyone
liked. The next was a Banjo Song"
by Irwin Russell, which told about
the invention of the first banjo and
how the 'possum lost the hair from
its tail. Edgar Allen Poe's "The
Raven" closed the entertainment. He
gave it in most dramatic manner.

Find No Trace Of
Mother and Babe

Nothing had been learned at late
hour this morning of the whereabouts
of the mother and babe who disap-
peared from lonely cabin on Siski-
you mountain Thursday in a mysteri-
Gus occurrence which has set all Of
Siskiyou county agap. According to
word received by the local police
from the sheriff at Yreka, an un-
known prospector was wandering
through the hills about six miles from
any habitation when he came upon a
cabin owned by homesteader who is
at present out of the country. Hear
ing womans means and a baby's
cries, he broke open the door and
found a good-looking young woman,
of medium height and weight, and a
newborn baby. Rendering what aid
he could, he told her he would go for
help to the nearest ranch. The wom-
an, apparently in fear OF being dis
covered by relatives or friends,
threatened to leave the cabin should
he go after anyone. Finally the pros
pector told her he would go after
food and left. When he returned
with food and medical assistance the
girl and baby had disappeared. A
posse of fifty men has been securing
the hills, but no trace found of either.
1t is thought that someone must have
been near at hand to help, as the.
woman could not have Travelled far.
The local police were asked to es-
certain if any such woman was
known to be missing from this vicin-
ity, but cannot learn of any.

Will Pay More
For Sugar Beets

Bishop c. w. Nibley of Salt Lake
City has announced a substantial
raise in the price which the Grants
Pass sugar factory will pay for sugar
beets this fall, following an inspec-
tion trip through the valley, upon
which he found the crop to be in a
very good condition. The company
will pay $3.50 per ton for 12 to Is
per cent beets, instead of So, as un-
der the contracts. For each y per
cent of sugar over Is per cent the
company will pay an additional 10
cents. Thus 51s per cent beets will
bring $3.50, 16 per cent beets $50,
II per cent beets $500, IS per cent
beets $6.10, etc. This will mean a
great deal to the grower, as the local
beet is high in percentage of sugar.
Construction work on the factory
is going steadily forward and the big
plant will be ready to handle the
beets when they are ready for the
mill about September 1. Grants Pass
is already beginning to talk of a big
celebration to be held on the day that
the sugar mill commences operations.
Besides providing a beet market the
sugar factory will require thousands

Lou Beauchamp
Speaks Convictions

Lou Beauchamp does not like our
Chautauqua building any better than
does Charles Zueblin. He asks why
we don't sell this Eskimo igloo" and
buy a new one. His lecture dealt in
fun and facts. He spoke so fast and
said so much in a short time that al
average person had to think a while
before he could fathom all he said,
but it was very good lecture and
put great many people to thinking.
The lecture was entitled "Take the
Sunny Side" but was filled with some
of the deepest thoughts.
One of the phases of life as it is
found in the United States touched
on was the youth of the criminals of
today, and especially the profession
al' criminals, as they were termed
by Mr.. Beauchamp.
"In Chicago" he said, there were
100 murderers waiting in their cells,
and of these 100, SO were under the
age of IS, the mayor told me-" said
Mr.. Beauchamp.
Among other figures he gave we're
that $4,000 murderers, or approxi-
mately 70 per cent of the total num-
ber in the country few years ago,
were between the ages of 10 and 22
years.
"The professional murderer, not
the murderer that kills in the heat
of passion, the saloon brawl, the fam
lily feud or the neighborhood fight,
but the professional, today, is the
youth of our land" said Mr.. Beau
champ.
81 know people doubt my state
ments, but all l ask of them is to
study the question.
"These are facts; and because the
moral fabric in the youth of our land
Is being broken down." he said
When we took the Bible from among
the text books of our schools we lost
great thing" he said. 81 or any
body else do not want the Bible itself
as text book, but we want the great
principles taught in that
book in our school systems"
The audience was very responsive,
IS they would almost have to be when
listening to such man.

Demonstrates Need
OF New Building

The greatest crowd that has ever
attended or, rather, attempted to at
tend a Chautauqua number was pres
ent in Ashland last Wednesday night.
Several hundred cars from down the
valley brought hundreds and local
people turned out well, the attraction
being the New York Marine Band.
The building was crammed to the
doors, several hundred people stood
around the doors and sat on the
lawns adjacent to the building, and
hundreds left when they found they
could not secure a seat. The need Of
a new Chautauqua auditorium, one
which will seat 5000 people, was am
ply demonstrated. The Southern Ore
gon Chautauqua has outgrown the old
shell.

Junior Chautauqua
Gives Pageant

The Junior Chautauqua eliminated
Saturday morning in pageant in
which the children acted the story of
King Arthur as Miss Helen Brough-
ton, the one at the head of the
Junior Chautauqua, recited the story.
The children have practiced this lit
tie pageant since the beginning of the
session and were well prepared for it,
They elected their King Arthur, the
leading knights, and Queen Guinever
The queen appointed her maids. The
whole story of King Arthur's becom-
ing king was enacted by the "kid-
dies" They even had the anvil with
the sword thrust into it, and the
king-to-be pulled the sword out of it
three times to satisfy the knights.
The maidens danced their folk dances
to please the queen. The Robber
knight came up and kidnapped her.
Arthur caught and vanquished him,
and brought her back, all according
to the schedule. After that the
knights had had no objections and
Arthur was duly made king. They
danced the May-pole dance, which
ended a most beautiful spectacle.
They were only small children and
Miss Broughton has certainly worked
wonders with them in the short time
she has trained them.

Sylvester A. Long
Speaks Truths

Sylvester A. Long made one of the
greatest lectures last Thursday even
ing that is to be heard in Ashland for
some time. The title of his lecture
was The Challenge of the Hour" He
left with those who heard him many
thoughts which they will not soon
forget. Some of the high lights of
his talk were as follows:
THE Challenge of the Hour is big
ger than a political party-it is big
ger than reform. We need a ma
tional citizenship, people who know
something besides what he is doing.
The average man does not know him
self.
THE mass of the people are not
wanted in the world. The more peo-
pie there are, the more opposition
there is. The world wants one thing
service. Nations are of no use un-
less they render service. In order to
give good service the people must
think, they must be intelligent.
There are three kinds of service to
render the world: the intelligent SER
vice, the magnanimous service, and
the service of principle. OF these the
last is the most important. The chal-
lenge of the hour is the challenge OF
principle. The great fault of the peo-
pie now is that they are not princi-
pied. The schools, business, the
everything is getting back to
principles. The closer
you get to fundamental principle the
ess freedom you have, and vice versa.
When you learn the right way to do
a thing you have no freedom in that
line. | can paint picture which no
artist would dare to retouch because
have so much liberty in that direc-
lion.
Poverty, white slavery and child
abor are going on right now in this
Do you care? / do not tell
what to do, but only what is the mat
,er. / wish to make you think-to |

New Ford Garage
Is Most Complete

The new Ford garage in the Hote
Austin formerly Oregon) is now
completed and gives Ashland a
garage which for completeness OF
equipment, up-to-date fixtures and
size is on a par with the best garages
in Oregon.
Facing on Main street is the COM
modious showroom, which also con-
tains the supplies of accessories and
tires and business office. Large plate
glass windows make this room one
ideal for the purpose. Indirect light
ing is used at night. New fixtures
have been installed, a complete line
of tires for all cars and accessories
for all cars, besides enough Ford
parts to build two or three complete
cars, almost.
Out on the edge of the curb in
front is magnificent new gasoline
pump which cost $500 installed. Air,
water and oil are also dispensed at
the curb.
Back of the showroom a flight of
steps leads down into the roomy stor-
age room. This room is about forty
by eighty feet and will store thirty
cars without crowding. The storage
room is floored with cement. En-
trance to the storage room and shop
is obtained from Pioneer avenue.
A washrack with an overhead
swinging water attachment occupies
one corner of the storage room.
The shop is at the rear of the
buildign, occupying space about
forty by twenty-five feet. Complete
shop equipment, including a crane.
electric power for drills, etc., is be-
ign installed. The shop affords space
for four cars to be worked upon. An
air pressure grease gun to fill trans
cases is one of the latest
pieces of machinery being installed.
The garage is open night and day,
with someone always on hand to give
instant service. Manager F. L. Camps
has due cause to be justly proud of
his new quarters.
