Claim Existence
OF Booze Auto Line

Newspapers of the Willamette val
ley are making much copy" out of
the alleged existence of regular line
of booze carrying automobiles which
are said to be running between Horn
brook and northern points.
While no doubt a few cars have
made the trip in the past month, they
have been very few, and it is very
doubtful, in the opinion of those fa-
miliar with the travel over the Siski-
you mountains, that a regular system
of wholesale importation is being car
ried on. The reason for the disbelief
lies in the fact that the Siskiyou
mountain grade between Ashland and
Hornbrook is now approaching the
impossible and very few machines
have made the trip over the noun
tain lately. Practically all that do
stop in Ashland, and the existence of
booze-laden automobiles would be
known to the police here, who watch
incoming cars closely on account of
the fact that a close watch for cars
stolen in California is kept.
According to railroad men, liquor
by the express and
freight route has swelled to unprece-
dented proportions.

Discuss Southern
Oregon Problems

The southern Oregon representa-
tives of the state legislature which
will convene next month, with the
exception of two who were unable to
be present, met at Grants Pass Mon
day and freely discussed the prob
lens of general interest to the well
fare of southern Oregon, and where
agreement was possible, outlined
plans of campaign to be carried on.
The gathering was very profitable
one and will doubtless set a prece-
dent which will mean like gather
ing previous to every session of the
legislature in the future.
A very heated argument arose in
regard to the question of closing the
Rogue river for commercial fishing
purposes, the Medford and Grants
Pass residents differing to a great
extent on the subject
In the evening the representatives
were entertained by the Grants Pass
Commercial Club. Dean Cordley of
the Oregon Agricultural College, Mr..
Reimer of the Southern Oregon Ex-
pertinent Station, and Dean Parks of
the school TO mines at the state uni
versity all delivered short talks.
Those present at the conference
were Ben Sheldon and G. M. Thomas
of Medford; w. Fl. Gore, joint repre-
sentative for Douglas and Jackson
counties; DR.. Sweeney and Senator
Smith of Grants Pass, and G. A.
Brand of Roseburg.

Applemen TO Meet
Next Year at Salem

The conference of apple growers
which was held at Hood River closed
Tuesday, after very interesting
meeting. The next session will be
held at Salem in 1917. Many inter-
esting and valuable papers on the
care, production and sale of this i'm
portant crop were given. 1t was def
initely ascertained that high grading
of apples paid, and that culls should
be sold for at least so cents box
otherwise it would be more profit
able to dispose of them to by-prod-
ucts plants at Sc per ton. 1t was
also recommended that shippers con-
fine themselves to two grades instead
of three, these to be extra fancy and
standard.

roofs and walks and made the work
not only disagreeable but dangerous
Granite street and Main street near
the building soon were covered with
a coating of ice from the water Hot
coffee was served along toward mid
night to the firemen.
Boys Help Most.
High school boys did the largest
part of the work, there being about
one man and five boys at each noz-
zle. The lads stuck to the chilly toll
like heroes even after some of the
men workers had begun to seek
place to warm up.
A large crowd collected and few
willing spirits aided in getting out
the bakery supplies and furniture
from the lower floors. A number of
small boys helped get out the dough
nuts from the bakery.
Will Rebuild.
Mrs. Allen will rebuild Immediately
and all her tenants except the bakery
have promised to stay with her. The
bakery will move into the Odd Eel
lows building. The gas office is occu-
pying temporary quarters in the room
formerly occupied by Crowson's in

loss to the building will be covered,
although the furniture loss. is ire
trievable.

American Expulsion Reported.
Prof. Daniel Declines,

Columbia, June I'D. Wistar
Daniel, head of the English depart
ment in Clemson College, yesterday
declined to accept the presidency of
Columbia College, to which position
he was elected by the board of trus-
tees of that institution on June 1st.
DR.. Daniel explained in a letter to
f. H. Hyatt, a member Of the board
that conditions at this time were
such as to preclude the possibility of
his acceptance.
The office was made vacant by the
resignation several weeks ago Of
Rev. w. w. Daniel, D. D., who has
been president Of the school fifteen
years. Failing health induced his
resignation last month, but he will
remain at the head Of the institution
until his successor has been chosen.
Prof. Daniel, of Clemson, is a nephew
Of the retiring official. Mr.. Hyatt
said yesterday that no plans Of the
trustees had yet been formed.
