Ford Sneaks Up
On Geo. Hargadine

George Hargadine disputed the
right of way on Main street at the
south entrance to the Plaza Tuesday
afternoon with Ford car, coming
out rather the worse for the mix.
George was crossing the street when
the car sneaked up on him from
around the corner of the city hall and
knocked him down and jumped on
him. George is used to bear and
deer, but had never been attacked by
a Ford before. Giving battle with
characteristic determination, he
grasped the Ford by the front axle,
and after it had dragged him twenty
feet, bulldogged it into submission.
The four men in the car stopped only
long enough to find out that George
was not killed, cranked up and drove
on south. Bystanders got the cars
number, which was 21947 Ore. Ac-
cording to the records, this car is the
property of R. Biberstedt of Eagle
Point.
The accident is conceded to have
been purely accidental. The car was
not travelling fast and had turned
the corner and started up the hill.
The driver overlooked honking his
horn. Mr.. Hargadine sustained a
badly sprained ankle and minor
bruises. That he was not more Sc
verely injured was due to his pres
ence of mind in grasping the axle as
he went down, thus preventing him
self from going under the wheels.

Tells Portland Our
Parks To Be Famous

Portland Telegram: Business
men of southern Oregon are begin
ming to feel that the people of Port
land care very little for the welfare
of that part of the state, and it is not
surprising that they are forming
stronger commercial ties with San
Francisco, where every advantage is
taken to cultivate the favor of resi-
dents of the southern countless" said.
John NJ. Scott, general passenger
agent of the Southern Pacific, on his;
return from a three weeks trip up
the line. He had special reference
to the small attendance from Port
land at the three days celebration at
Ashland early in the month to mark
the formal opening of that city's
Lithia Park and during which Ash
land entertained a total of $4,000
people.
"The city of Ashland has deyel-
oped a park that will become world
famous. The waters from the springs
are declared by authorities to be
equal in curative properties to any In
Europe. Scenic and climatic attrac-
tions there and elsewhere in south
ern Oregon will surely win the at
tention of tourists from all parts OF
the country, and the results will be
helpful in a business way.
Many tourists from California are
doing southern Oregon by automobile
and besides large numbers are begin
ming to arrive from as far as the At
lantic coast. One New York woman
was accompanied by her physician, a
nurse and chauffeur.
Crater Lake is, of course, an at
traction to many, but because of the
exceptionally heavy snow of last
winter 1t was impossible to get to the
rim of the lake until recently. The
season will be short there this year"
Most of the time he was away Mr..
Scott was in company with E. o. Me
Cormick, vice-president in charge Of
traffic of the Southern Pacific. They
visited the scenic and tourist attrac-
lions of southern Oregon, including
The caves of Josephine county and
The charms of the klamath Lakes. In
III the trip covered about 1900 miles.
One of the objects of the trip was to
see what could be done to further in
terest the federal government toward
providing for the greater enjoyment
by the people of the country's large
parks.

At the city council meeting Thurs
day night the council asked that pre-
liminary estimates be made of the
cost of remodelling the room in the
city hall formerly used as a jail and
now used as storeroom, so that 1t
may be used for office purposes. The
action followed upon a proposition
requested in a petition signed by a
number of the live young business
men of the city who were the main
factors in the success of the roundup
and celebration.
This group of young men, in order
that the impetus and spirit aroused
by the celebration and the crowds
which are visiting Ashland this sum-
mer may not be lost, have determined
to organize a Chamber of Commerce,
which will be a new organization,
free from the things which have an
tagonized so many to the old Com
mercial Club. At next Mondays
meeting of the Commercial Club the
group which forms the nucleus for
the new chamber will offer to take
over the assets and liabilities of the
Commercial Club and all of the men,
bers who desire. If the club looks
favorably on the proposition, the pool
and billiard tables will be disposed
of, the proceeds used to clear off the
Indebtedness, and the council will be
asked to take definite action upon
the request to provide an office in
the remodelled room in the city hall
and the use of the council hall for
assembly purposes. The chairs now
in use at the Commercial Club and
the furniture will be moved to the
office and hall and headquarters es-
tablished The council did not take
definite action regarding the turn

Baseball Special
To Weed Sunday

The Southern Pacific will run a
baseball special from Grants Pass to
Weed Sunday on account of two base
ball games-one at Hornbrook,
where Grants Pass and Hornbrook
meet, and one at Weed, where Med
ford and the lumberpacks tangle.
Tickets will be one fare for the round
trip, which means $1.10 to Horn
brook from Ashland. or $2.45 to
Weed. The grain will pass through
Ashland at 9:2O a. m. Stops will be
made at all points and tickets bought
to any point en- route for the day.

ing over of the office and hall to the
club preferring to await the outcome
of Mondays club meet.
If the club does not wish to accept
the proposition to pass out of exist
ence with honor, no doubt the quar-
ters in the city hall will be taken by
the old club.
While no definite organization has
been made. the constitution OF the
new organization would include all
of the good points of the old and the
recommendations made by the COM
mittee from the Commercial Club
which recently Investigated the
clubs condition and reported recon-
mendations.
The move to the city hall, whether
made by the new chamber or the old
club, will be an advantageous one
as it will eliminate an overhead ex-
pense of about $50 a month and at
the same time give club headquarters
on the ground floor where they are
accessible and can become a center OF
activity.
The meeting of the Commercial
Club next Monday, when this matter
comes up, will be a vital one. The
hackers of the new organization
have number of arguments which
they will present for letting the old
club make its exit.
The old club has labored under
overhead expense which ate up the
income, large Indebtedness and the
lack of interest which these reasons
for ineffectuality have created. The
hackers of the movement for a new
organization believe that quicker re-
suits may be gained by the formation
of an entirely new organization.

Auto Blue Book Men
Visit Ashland

E. X. Frank and c. N. Emery, driv-
ing the official car of the A. A. Auto
mobile Blue Book, were in Ashland
last evening. They state that Ash
lands hotel will receive a new rating
after they had looked it over. Mr..
Frank said: For years Ashland has
been pretty we'll unmentioned, but we
hear about you all up and down the
coast this year, and ! must say you
have city to be proud Of. The Sis
kiyou grade was most highly praised,
but the Blue Book men stated they
would have to have assurances from
the county court or the road super
visor that the road between Ashland
and the foot of the mountains would
be smoothed out little before next
April when their book appears or
else they would have to call it poor
dirt road" The visitors were greatly
interested in the parks and auto
camp. They were shown over the
hotel by Manager Chisholm. Their
trip will take them over the roads
of California, Oregon, Washington,
Utah, Nevada, Arizona and in fact the
entire west before next spring, when
the book will be published. Mr..
Frank states: eve are revising the
road data and will certainly have
lot of revising for the better to do
regarding the roads in this vicinity
and the accommodation at Ashland.
Next springs edition of the Blue
Book will be the eighth

Special Warden
For Rogue Mouth

Declaring that he had received
many complaints to the effect that
the law governing fishing at the
mouth of the Rogue river was being
violated, Governor Withycombe Sat
urday afternoon dispatched a special
agent from Salem to aid the fish
wardens. Should the law violations
continue, more rigorous measures
will be employed" to compel an OBJ
servance of the law, said the gov
ernor.
1t is claimed that the salmon fish
cries at the mouth of the river evade
the law and take steelhead and all,
thus preventing the fish from coming
up the river.
