Boy Scouts Go
Agate Hunting

Led by Scoutmaster George Holly,
a party of twelve Ashland Boy Scouts
left this city bright and early Satur-
day morning bound on a two days
outing to the agate beds and Rogue
river. The party travelled in two
rigs and three bicycles. Eagle Point
was the first objective point, and
several hours were spent hunting
agates near there and on the desert
between that place and the river. A
number of nice specimens were
found. Camp was pitched Saturday
night on the river and a big camp
fire was a feature of the evening. A
real old-fashiOned snipe hunt with
three Of the boys holding the sack
was also a feature. The return was
made Sunday. Those who made the
trip were George Holly, Marshall
Barber, Ralph Divet, Earnest Full
CHAM, Otis Johnson, Roy Clary, Les
lie Herr, Edwin Mowat, William
Allen, Bruce Rathburn, Lawrence
Porter, John Saunders and Gordon

America first were in Ashland yes

First Hunting
Accident in County

The first hunting accident of the
season in Jackson county occurred
last Wednesday when Attorney Kir-
kendall of Klamath Falls shot
George Van Auken, mistaking him
for a deer. The accident happened
on Union creek. Van Auken is a
farmer of that district and was act
ing as a guide for the hunting party,
and was slightly in advance of the
crowd, beating the brush, when he
felt the twings of the bullet in his
cheek. The bullet passed through
his cheek but did not hit bone, to
which fact Van Auken probably owes
his life, as the soft nose bullet would
no doubt have blown his head off
had it hit hard substance. The in
jured man was brought to Medford,
where he is at the Sacred Heart hos
pital. Kirkendahl is said to be suf-
fering from a nervous shock and has
returned home.

Pear Shipments
Double Last Years

More than double the amount of
pears sent out from the Rogue River
valley last year have already been
shipped to date this season, and late
pears still to come. Only four cars
of apples have as yet been shipped,
and there is the prospect of eXcep-
tionally heavy shipments of that
fruit to come throughout the remain
der of the shipping season. Last
year 219 cars of pears were shipped,
while already 47O cars have been
billed out this year.
The shipments for the year in cars
are as follows: Medford, $50 pears,
apples; Central Point, As pears;
Talent, Is pears; Phoenix, 7 pears;
Gold Hill, s pears; Grants Pass, 10
pears.
Fancy fall pears are commanding
good prices in the eastern auction
markets, in spite of the slump in
Bartlett prices. The fancy half-bOx-
es are finding the readiest sale. To-
days car of Bose half-boxes were
sold in New York at $2.15.

Oakland Boys Band
In Two Concerts

The Oakland Boys Club band
which appeared in this city two
months ago is here again on the re-
turn trip and will play two concerts
in Lithia park, one tonight and one
Tuesday night. The boys have been
north as far as Vancouver, Wash,
but on account of the rains were
forced to abandon the idea of an eX-
tension of the trip farther north
which was planned. They will camp
in Chautauqua park as they did on
the occasion of their previous visit.
The former concert given by the
Oakland boys attracted one of the
biggest crowds of the year and the
music offered was greatly enjoyed,
A dance will be given following the
Tuesday concert.

Predicts Great
Resort at Lake

Central Point Herald. w. A. Cow
ley and family and ]. r. Hamilton
motored to the Lake of the Woods
last Sunday. They report the roads
in good condition, and the lake itself
is most charming body of water.
The lake is about three miles long
and about mile wide, and lies right
at the foot of Mount Pitt, on the
east side of the mountain. The
camping grounds that skirt the lake
are about the best and most pictur-
esque of any in the state. Forests
of beautiful fir and sugar pine trees
surround the lake, and that they
contain some real game is evidenced
by the fact that one of the families
in camp there shot large bear last
week. Rainbow trout of good size
abound in the lake, and now that a
good automobile road has been open
ed up, Mr.. Cowley predicts that this
beauty spot will soon become a fam
Gus summer resort for southern Ore
gon.

Wonderful Fire
Loss Reduction

Announcement has been made by
State Forester Elliott that the fire
loss on lands supervised by the state
forestry department has so far this
year been less than $500. Last year
the loss was approximately $4,000.
The state forester has called in all
forest patrolmen save those in Jack
son and Josephine counties, where
there is much underbrush. In the
state there are 22,000,O0O acres OF
timber and brush land, and of this
amount 1O,OOO,OOO acres is timber
land owned by the government 1O'-
600, 900 acres is timber land privately
owned, and the remainder brush
lands.
A heavy pail of smoke has hung
over Jackson county for the past two
weeks. due to burning of brush and
big fires over in California. The
campaign of the forest department to
prevent forest fires is beginning to
have its effects and campers gener-
ally observe much more care.

October 9th Fire
Prevention Day

The following letter was received
today from State Insurance Commis-
sioner Harvey Wells of Salem.
"The anniversary of the Chicago
conflagration is October 8, and nearly
every state in the Union will observe
this as Fire Prevention Day." The
Insurance Department of Oregon
wishes to urge the observance of this
day and earnestly requests the mu-
nicipal officers to call the attention
of the citizens of their community to
the need of fire prevention.
Fire prevention means good
housekeeping; the cleaning out of at
tics, storerooms, closets and base
ments; the proper disposal Of rub
bish; repairing defective flues and
chimneys; repairing gas fixtures and
electric light cords; making heating
plants and stoves safe; and proper
storage of gasoline. Try fire preven-
tion once and you will find it is to
your interest. I am sure the clean
ing up of places will mean sanitation
as well as fire prevention.
"And appeal to every school dis
trict to hold appropriate exercises
and fire drills If any schools are
Interested probably this department.
can offer suggestions for the school
program.
Il trust that the insurance agents
will cooperate with the fire depart
ments and officers of the different
municipalities in order that the many
towns in this state may properly OBJ
serve this day.
HARVEY WELLS,
/. Insurance Commissioner.

Annex 5000 Acres
To This District

A strip of orchard and farm land
covering an area of approximately
5000 acres lies between the original
north boundary line of the Ashland
Talent irrigation district and west of
the Rogue River Canal Company's
Phoenix segment of the latter's sys-
tenn. The canal companys proposed
high-line ditch, covering an area of
$4,000 acres, will follow the Phoenix
canal line. The only relief for those
in the intervening strip is to be an
nexed to the Ashland-Talent district.
That is being done now, sufficient
number of farmers having signed up
to make it legally possible. Robert
Brevard of Medford is completing
that feature of the work.

Farm Loan Meet at
City Hall Saturday

The committee of the Farm Loan
Association held a very enthusiastic
meeting at the city library, Medford,
last Saturday and good attendance
of farmers was present. All phases
of the loan law were explained by
the chairman and secretary and 9TH
ers present ]. f. RochO of Ashland
made strong appeal to educate the
farmers on this subject which re
ceived hearty applause and resulted
in a meeting to be held at Ashland
next Saturday, September 80, at
2:30 ,p. m at the city hall. Able
speakers will be on hand Commit
teemen were appointed for the diff
ferent districts to solicit signers for
loans and to explain the act to those
interested. J. F. Rocho was appoint
ed for Ashland and +. p. Snyder for
the Belleview district. The question
was brought up in regard to whether
loans could be made on property in
bonded district While this has
not definitely been settled, it may
prove barrier as the government
will only loan on property than can
show clear title, or in order to per
feet a clear title at a low rate and
for long term.
In order to form a preliminary es-
innate of the amount of money
which will be wanted by the farmers
of this district, all those who might
desire to negotiate loans are request
ed to see Mr.. RochO or Mr.. Snyder,
who are keeping lists of names of
those who are interested in forming
a farm loan association.

Big Attractions
At State Fair

Among the big attractions at the
state fair which will be held at Salem
September 20 to 80 will be THE
Sagebrush Symphony" Juvenile Or
chestra, composed of 25 boys and
girls of Harney county Oregon, who
have been under special instructions
for the past four years and have de-
veloped marvellous ability in harmony
and execution of wind ad stringed in
struments. They are coming to the
state fair as a special attraction of
educational and entertaining merit
and one we'll worth travelling many
miles to see and hear Their roper
toire includes both popular and clas-
sical compositions, and musical crit
les who have heard them in concert
pronounce them little short of the
marvellous.
The Spirit of 70" as we'll as that
of the early SOS will be vividly and
strikingly portrayed and recalled by
the stirring patriotic selections as
rendered by the Veterans Fife and
Drum Corps, which will be one of
the special features of entertainment
at the state fair. This corps is COM
posed of veterans of the Civil War
that once valiant army whose ranks
are rapidly depicting. Each individ-
ual of the organization is an artist
with the instrument upon which he
performs, and the character of music
which they will render together with
the spirit in which it is rendered, is
of a nature to stir the blood and
patriotic impulses of all loyal Ameri-
can citizens.
The night horse show, special
feature of rare beauty in blue-blood-
ed horse flesh, equipment and grace
OF carriage in fancy and expert riding
and driving, and the daily speed pro-
gram. $4,000 in purses with the best
list of entries ever assembled on
Lone Oak track, will be two of the |
big attractions to be staged.

Band Makes Hit in
Last Of Series

The last of the regular series OF
band concerts, held last Thursday
night, attracted the largest crowd of
the past month and pleased them
immensely. The band will give an
other concert, weather permitting, on
Wednesday evening of next week.
The regular series of concerts which
were contracted for are now finished
and the band boys are giving this
extra concert to show their apprecia-
tion of the support given them this
summer. The Ashland band has Civ

and the business men who have do

enabled the band to do this are to he
commended as we'll. The band men
hope to find a means of keeping Di-
rector Carl Loveland here this win
ter at the head of the mems and
boys bands. A movement to have
the band cared for by a small per-
centage of the tax levy is advocated
by the band men on the grounds that
the entire city instead of few men
should bear the burden, small
though it is, of supporting a band.

GOtch Suffered
Broken Limb

Frank Gotch, the noted wrestler,
champion of the world and perhaps
the only champion who retired with
his laurels undisturbed, will not be
seen in Medford with the Sells-Floto
show if a news dispatch from Chicago
is to be believed. According to the
dispatch, Gotch passed through Chi
cago bound for his home in Hum
bolt, Iowa, with a broken leg which
he suffered at Kenosha, in plaster.
Jess Willard, however, is still with
the circus and will be seen in Med
ford unless he breaks something be-
tween Portland and the Rogue River
valley.

Enthusiastic Crowd Hears Hughes
EulOgized at Big Rally Friday

Ashland now has a Hughes Alli-
ance branch with three hundred
members. These were all signed up
in a hurried canvass of parts Of the
town previous to the Hughes meet
ing Friday night, which was attend
ed by about six hundred enthusiastic
supporters Of Hughes. City Chair
man T. II. Simpson has the list of
Hughes Alliance members, and those
who wish to Join should see him.
Owing to the lateness of the hour no
attempt was made to sign members
following the Friday meeting.
Mr.. Simpson opened the Friday
meeting by introducing Mrs. Ed Han
ley of Medford, who made a brilliant
address and presided over the meet
ing. After paying a beautiful COM
pliment to Ashland Mrs. Hanley
launched into a scathing denuncia-
tion of the "scurillous attack" made
upon the Hughes Womens Special
which is coming west in October, by
the editor of the Mail Tribune at
Medford Mrs. Hanley mentioned
the work which several of the wom-
en- who are coming on the special
have accomplished and denounced
the lack of chivalry and apparent
lack of investigation which had led
to the attack made in the Medford
paper. She then launched into a re-
view of the things (which Wilson
has not DONE laying special empha-
sis upon his attitude toward women's
suffrage. When a woman does
thing she does it and tells her hus-
band afterward" was a statement
which brought down the house. The
lack of protection which was evident
during the past two years received
vivid delineation from Mrs. Hanley,
part of her remarks being as fol-
lows: He told us if we did not want
to get hurt, to stay at home. They
did stay at home down along the
border, and when trouble came they
we're told to move back farther from
the border" Mrs. Hanley had an
everready flow of witticisms and
originalities, one which especially
tickeled the fancy of the crowd be-
ing: Mr.. Edisons support of Mr.,
Wilson was to be expected. We all
know that Mr.. Edison is an cleo
trician and naturally is interested in
anything which switches on and off. "
She closed her talk with an encom-
