The asbestos-producing industry of
the United States Is growing. For
many years We have been the greatest
manufacturers and users of asbestos
drawing our raw material from Can
ada, but we are now getting some ex.
cellent fiber in our own country The
most notable feature of the asbestos
industry in 1914 was the development
or new field In Arizona, which is
furnishing a grade of fiber that com
pares very favorably with the Cana
dian. AS the mineral occurs in the
Grand Canyon, 1t is frequently desig.
mated Grand Canyon asbestos, al
though the deposit in that remarkable
natural wonder is not yet producing
asbestos commercially. For electric
installation the Arizona asbestos is
even better than the Canadian prod
uct, for it contains lower percentage
of iron. Asbestos of low grade has
been produced in Georgia for many
years.-Newark News.

Dinner From a Lobster's Claw.

The Bath Times had not long ago
In its window the largest lobster claw
probably ever seen In these pa9ts. The
claw alone measures 10k inches In
length and some six inches in width.
1t was brought into the office by the
well-known diver Scott Tibbetts Of
Woolwich, who found 1t recently while
doing some work at Barter's island.
Some OF his dredging apparatus, prob
ably the bucket, separated this claw
from the rest Of the lobster. Judging
from the size Of the claw, the lobster
itself must have been several feet
long and a monster The meat in
the claw was OF good color and At
to eat and enough for a dinner for
several people. The claw alone
weighed three pounds, and he esti.
mated the weight of the lobster at
thirty pounds. s.-Kennebec Journal.

Try This.

If you will take pavement that is
clear, and walk briskly in the center,
you will find that before you have
gone SO yards you have unconsciously
veered very much to one side. To
make this test accurate you must not
use any effort to keep in the center.
II you think OF something else and
endeavor to walk naturally, you will
find that you are not able to keep
going in straight line. In the same
way person lost in a wide expanse
of level country will describe a COM
plete circle as he keeps walking on
and on. The explanation of this lies
In the propensity of one foot to walk
faster than the other. or to take q
longer stride than the other, causing
you to veer to one side or the other.

verted to the reasonableness of
the suggestion that every able
bodied youth in the United
States as simple matter of pub.
lie policy and protection. should
be taugh the military rudiments
as part of his education, as the
Swiss youth are taught, and the
Australian youth are taught. 1t
may easily be that in a few years
this sort of compulsory training
will be an institution of our land.
And it is being observed more
frequently than it was a few
months back that there is moth
ing extreme in having a regular
army of two or three hundred
men in country with 95,000,000
people to protect.
1t develops that the industrial
committee, Frank p. Walsh,
chairman, which is sending out
mimeograph letters attacking
the preparedness policy of the
administration is not a govern
ment body. It's Craftsmanship is
the same as that of the industrial
commission, and it's membership
is largely SO; but it gets no mon
ey from the treasury. The indus
trial commission expired by linn
itation of the act creating it,
some months ago. Congress let
it die a natural death. Natural
ly, many of those who have been
receiving the propaganda of the
industrial commission through
the mails thought it was the out
put of the industrial commission.
And it was, except that Uncle
Sam wasn't paying the bill. He
cut off the money, but couldn't
stop the fuss.

Helping Hand
For EX-COnViCtS

With the view of making the pa
role system more efficient and less
expensive. Governor Withycombe in
the near future will appoint counsel
ors for paroled prisoners in all Of
the larger cities in the state. The
governor has been considering such
a plan for the strengthening of the
system for some time, and is conf
dent that it will prove successful.
Under the present system all of
the paroled prisoners are under the
Jurisdiction of Parole Officer Keller,
and in addition to procuring employ
ment for them before they leave the
prison. he must see to it that they
are continuously employed, and ad-
wise with them when they are in diff
ficulty. This is proving more or less
expensive as frequently he is forced
to make trips into remote portions
Of the state, Counselors at all of
the important towns Of the state
would reduce the expense, and the
paroled prisoners would always be
provided with the immediate advice
OF a friend when in difficulty.
The position will be non-saiaried,
and the names of the counselors will
only be known to the governor, pa
role officer and paroled prisoner.
Under the plan a prisoner when pa
rolled will be advised as to whom his
counselor will be, and the counselor
asked TO counsel with the paroled
prisoner and give him every aid that
he may make good.

Base for Lincoln
Statue in Place

The immense granite boulder
which is to form the base for the
statue of Abraham Lincoln, which
G. S. Butler will erect in Lithia
park, is in place. The native rock,
about four feet in diameter by five
feet in height, was brought down
from Ashland canyon and will make
an ideal base for the statue, being
symbolic of the plain, unyielding
character of the great emancipator.
1t was quite a job to get the big
boulder in place, a scaffolding and
ten-ton block and tackle being used.
The rock is set in cement.
The statue of Lincoln has arrived
Ia America from Italy and is on its
way to Ashland Mr. Butler con-
ceived the idea of procuring a statue
of Lincoln when at the San Francisco
exposition and ordered it. 1t will be
presented to Lithia park as a me-
mortal to Jacob Thompson, step
father of Mr.. Butler and a pioneer
of southern Oregon of 1S47, now de-
ceased. The statue is the work of
A. Frilli. Italian sculptor, and is over
six feet in height, of marble.

out magazine which will be appre-

First Football
Game Thursday

The first opportunity which Ash
land sport lovers will have of seeing
the Ashland high school team in Ash
land will be afforded Thursday af-
ternoon of this week when the locals
win 90 up against the strongest team
that Klamath Falls has sent into the
Rogue valley in years. The school
will be dismissed at 2:30 and the
game called at 8. The $50 defeat
of Grants Pass at the Falls Saturday
has resulted in sudden arousal of
a wonderful burst of interest among
the townspeople. Everyone realizes
that if the locals can defeat Klamath
it will be a wonderful game, and the
attendance should be record break
er. The stores of the city are asked
to close if they will and to send all
of the clerks which they can let go,
to the game at any rate. There will
be rousing street rally by the high
school students Wednesday night
Admission to the game will be 25
cents.
Although quite demoralized by the
injuries received in the Grants Pass
game, the local team is getting into
fair shape, with many noticeable
changes. Brewer is out of the game
for the season and Bentley, another
regular hack, will probably be able
to play but a few minutes if at all.
End Kirk is out for the season. Lowe
has been shifted to the backfield, as
has also Winnie, and Leavitt on an
end. The boys are there" with the
fight and intend to put up an exhibi-
tion worth seeing.

Terrible Bailey
Hill Is No More

The worst piece Of road on the
Pacific coast" as it is designated by
touring autoists, the Bailey hill
grade in northern California, has
been eliminated by the opening up
Saturday of what is known as the
Bailey 'hill tunnel, a fifty-foot tunnel
under the railroad track. The maxi
mum grade of 6 per cent of the Pa
cific Highway over the Siskiyous met
with an awful setback at Bailey hill,
where a rocky and steep road has
been in use for over year while
awaiting the completion Of the tun-
mel. The detour road in the last few
weeks has become almost impossible
and the opening of the highway Is
received with much thankfulness.
The tunnel is completed all but fill
ing in under the track. 1t is of ee-
ment with plenty of room for two
cars to pass, and about twenty feet
in height Incidentally the compile
tion of the grade now gives the thirs-
ty Oregonians a straight, easy grade
into Hornbrook and much OF the
travel which has been going off the
main road and into Hit will now

Road to Grenada
Graded, Says News

Yreka News, The grading of
three miles of the state highway at
Grenada is now in progress The
expense to the county, after the cor
rugated iron culverts have been fur
nished by the state, is approximately
$3.50 per mile. In case the state
would do this work the cost to the
people would be $1,000 per mile,
The increase would be due to the
fact that the state machinery and
other equipment would have to be
moved to the point Of operation,
camps established, etc. Siskiyou
county could grade the road to Ga
zelle while at work on this end and
thus save the people Of this county
considerable money. Siskiyou coun.
ty is doing the work at Grenada in
compliance with request from the
land owners who on donating the
asked that the grading
be done at once.
