Rogue River Argus.

Returning over the Siskiyous, we
stopped at Ashland's beautiful Lithia
park. Right here l wish to repeat
what | heard gentleman from Port
land direction say: That he did not
think anything in the way of a park
in the United States could equal Ash
lands park save in our very largest
cities, the reason, of course, being
the beautiful stream of water which
flows through 1t and which nothing
artificial could reproduce. | consid-
cred that very fine compliment not
only for Ashland but for Jackson
county as well. On arriving in Lithia
park luncheon was served US, and |
believe every editor took his hat off
to the Ashland ladies for the most
unique as we'll as satisfactory way
in which that luncheon was served.
We were first given cups and spoons,
then conducted to table piled high
with paper boxes. Every person was
given one of these boxes. We then
found seats at the numerous tables
scattered over the park. On opening
these boxes we found the following:
Three sandwiches, two kinds of cake,
pickles, deviled eggs, two peaches
and one apple. This with our cup
of coffee made a very fine lunch.
And this was not all there was: an
ice cream cone for every one who
wished it. By the means of these
boxes $50 people were served in an
incredibly short time. After looking
the park over and listening to the
boys band of Oakland for time we
wended our way back to the Medford
hotels.

MedfOTd Man

Governor Withycombe has remit
ted the fine of Arthur Diltz, who was
given a one hundred day sentence
and heavy fine in the circuit court
of Jackson county for violating the
prohibition law. Diltz and other
Medfordites were arrested for SELL

barrels in their possession. The ar
rest occurred at tho same time and
through the instrumentality of the
Spoilers" who made a failure of
their attempts to fasten a charge of
bootlegging on Ashland residents.

Save Exertion of Boosting and Use IL
In Doing Your Tasks.
1t is well for you to have confidence
In your ability, but when it reaches the
stage of swell headedness" your value
to yourself or to any one else begins to
dwindle.
Some men grow with responsibility;
Others merely swell" The man who,
swells has ceased TO grow.
He has reached a place where he,
thinks he has all the knowledge he
needs, and naturally all growth is re-
tarded.
The best way-the most convincing
way-to prove ones capability is by
actions, not words.
The fellow who is continually brag.
ging about what he can do is seldom OF
much account.
1t Is the man who does things In
quick, intelligent manner who wins.
Such man will be found at the top
because be deserves to be there.
All concerns want him, because be-
not only accomplishes much as the re-
suit Of his concentrated endeavor, but
his influence is good on the other eme
ployees.
Save the exertion 1t takes to ten what
you can do and use 1t in performing
your tasks In this way you will get
so much consideration eventually that
you will not be tempted to brag.
The other fellow will do 1t for you

Buzzard Mine May
Be a Winner

klamath Falls Herald: Since Cap
tain o. C. Applegate returned from
the Rogue River country on Monday
last he has received word from Coun-
ty Commissioner w. c. Lever at
Central Point that returns received
from the last consignment of ore
from the Buzzard mine on Elk creek,
near Prospect, went 1896 per ton.
This ore, on account of the galena
which it contains, requires smelling,
and is sent to the Selby company in
San Francisco for that purpose.
The parties who hold the $50, 900
option on the mine are maturing
plans to drive a 1,500-foot tunnel
500 feet below the present workings,
thus hoping to open up the mine at
greater depth and eliminate the
troubles they now encounter from
water in the vertical shafts where
they have heretofore been working.
Captain Applegate thinks this mine
will prove to be one of the most pro-
ductive on the coast, and 1t is his
opinion from Investigations made
from time to time during many years
that the mineral range in which the
Buzzard mine lies crosses the line
toward the summit of the Cascades,
and that other rich ore bodies will
yet be opened east of the Buzzard
and in klamath county.
Captain Applegate is one of the
ten stockholders in the Buzzard mine
Company. Each stockholder has 10
per cent of the stock.

ShaStina Fails
To incorporate

The proposition of Incorporating
Shastina as a city was lost at the
special election held last Wednesday
in that suburb to Weed, Cal.
The vote: For incorporating, 67;
against Incorporating, 73; majority
against incorporating, 6.
Shastina is the southern part of
what is generally called Weed. It
does not include the sawmills, fac
tories, store, bank, warehouses and
office buildings of the Weed Lumber
Company, but 1t includes all privately
owned property, including stores, sa-
looms, restaurants and many dwell
ings.
The election was hotly contested.
Every woman who was entitled to
vote went to the ballot box. The
vote was smaller than was expected,
for many voters registered too late.
There are close to 800 registered
voters in Shastina. Only 140 voted.
A big cooperative cannery is in
operation at Wheeler, Ore.

Many Bucks Have
Been Brought In

The first few days of the deer
hunting season yielded small returns
TO the huntsman who went out from
Ashland to the famous Southern Ore
gon wilds. Rains last Friday and
Saturday which turned into snow
in the high mountains, made hunt
ing conditions ideal, however, and
reports of kills are coming in from
every section. At least 10 parties
which went out from this city to
spend Sunday hunting, brought back
venison. No accidents have been re-
ported as yet in Southern Oregon.
Among the local huntsmen who
have brought in bucks are: Chaun-
cey Casebeer, who, the first morning
out up above Prospect on Rogue
river, secured forked horn and a
fine four-pointer. The forked horn
he killed on the trail few miles
out of camp, hung it up and by 1890
had the four pointer.
E. R. Grieve and Walt Frulan es-
tablished a camp near the Pacific
highway at Siskiyou and brought in
two fine ones. Tom McEnernery and
Bert Bashalan, of the Southern Pa
cific forces, secured two bucks the
second day out. Claude Saunders
left Ashland at 2 O'Clock Sunday
morning and was back in the city
early in the afternoon with forked
horn which he got up on Red noun
tain in company with Eli Brushwood.
Steelhead fishing is also said to be
fair at present. Harry Hosler, dean
of the Ashland fishermen, displays
three fine steelhead which he said
were worth the hard day in Rogue
river necessary to get them. Harry
got the only fish secured by his
party of whom there were five, R,
F. Brown, Duff Harrington, W. F.
Paul and Chi Pierson.
Trout fishing in all the small
streams is reported good and many
good catches are brought in daily.
The steelhead fishing seems to run
in streaks and Sunday was an off
day. However, Harry says you have
TO earn any summer steelhead you
catch anyway. A week ago he had
an old "he-one" get away from him,
which is unusual. The big fellow took
a good piece of his leader.

Sunday Crowd

The largest crowd which has visit
ed Lithia park on Sunday this sum-
mer listened to the Medford band
give a most excellent concert from
the main bandstand. The park drive
was jammed with cars from the Bun
galow to the tennis courts and Gran
its street furnished space for a num-
ber more.
Probably 5000 people gathered
under the trees near the bandstand
and again the lack of sufficient seat
ing facilities was demonstrated. The
concert was well balanced and well
rendered. Bandmaster Rowland has
built up band of which the city of
Medford should be proud and in fact
the Medfordites showed their ap-
probation by coming up about 1000
strong to hear their band in Ashland
park.
The park was full of people all
day. At noon every table in the
auto camp, picnic grounds and along
the creek was filled with picnickers
and scores of parties spread their
lunch clothes on the grass.
All of the regular jitneys and num-
bers of private cars and auto trucks
converted into jitneys for the day,
did land office business between
the park and the lower valley towns.
The eating houses of the city did
thriving business yesterday as did
also the confectioneries. The nata-
forums were crowded all day.
Ashland hopes to hear the Med
ford band again at a not far dis
tant date, the concert was one of
the most enjoyable given in the park
this summer, -.,... ...-.,-

Band Of 1000 Goats
Craze Near Crater

A permit has just been issued for
the grazing of band of 1900 goats
on Crater national forest, according
to an announcement made by the
district forester, Portland. This is
the first permit issued for a large
band of the animals, and is appar-
emily the result of the recent study
made by the forest service to develop
areas suitable for different kinds of
stock, especially goats.
The service announces that there
is room for about 5000 more head
on the Crater forest, for two bands
on the Umpqua, two bands on the
Cascade and about 5000 on the Sis
kiyou and Siuslaw national forests
all in Oregon. These areas have been
examined by grazing experts and pro-
nounced suitable for goats. Further
more, this range is all easily accessi-
BILE from railroad points.
It is stated by forest officers that
they are anxious to have these
ranges used, but they are not suit
able for sheep, as they contain more
underbrush than grass. The goats
are more agile and courageous, the
succulent underbrush is well suited
to their needs, and rough country
is no obstacle to goat. The damage
done by goats to young conifers is
slight, and, 1t is said, they are often
a real benefit in keeping down in
flammable brush and thus aiding in
fire protection.

THE PITCHERS BOX.
In easebaIIs Early Days It Was Just
Line Twelve Feet Long.

In easebalps Early Days II Was just
Line Twelve Feet Long.
Up to 1857, or for eighteen years
after the first game of baseball was
played, there was no limit to the num-
Der of innings, the first side scoring
twenty-one runs, or "aces," as they
were then called, being the winner. In
1857, however, the game was divided
into nine innings. The pitcher had q
line twelve feet long, kept behind It
and could take short run before his
delivery, just the same as is permitted
in cricket today.
In 1863 the old "line' for the pitcher
to stand behind was done away with
and the twirler limited to "box"
twelve feet long and four feet wide,
but In this area he could roam at will
and throw from whatever spot he
pleased. A few years later the "box'
was made six feet square, and In 1876
1t was again reduced to four feet wide
and six feet long. Ten years later it
was made a foot longer and foot
wider and In 1887 cut down in length
to five and One-half feet.
These boxes" being always source
of much change and discussion, they
were finally abolished altogether and
a rubber slab u by inches took their
place, the pitcher being required to
keep his back foot against the slab.
This slab was enlarged to two feet by
six inches in 1895 and has remained
the same since.-Philadelphia Bulletin.
