Movies Are Great
Ad for Celebration

Motion pictures taken recently of
Lithia park crowds on Sunday, OF
Buffalo Vernon, Fred Herrin, Monte
Briggs, and others in wild west stunts
of the roundup grounds and features
around Ashland are being shown in
motion picture theatres throughout
the state. The following comment is
from the Roseburg Review:
"In connection with the regular
program at the Antlers theatre Sat-
urday evening, there we're produced
a number of films depicting scenes
at Ashland and vicinity. The pic
lures of the celebrated Lithia park
were exceptionally fine and resulted
in much favorable comment by the
audience.
"The pictures are being displayed
in many Oregon theatres in connec-
tion with a campaign launched re-
Gently for the purpose of advertising
the Rogue River Roundup, to be held
there on July 4, and G."

Voters Pamphlet
Space Cost Rises

Parents Of bouncing young initia-
tive laws will have to pay about $50
per page to boost the merits Of their
offspring in the voters pamphlet is
sued by the secretary of state before
the November elections. This is the
word given out by Secretary Oloctt
who has been figuring on the next
edition Of this popular work.
This edition is likely to have a con-
siderably larger circulation than the
last one had, and will therefore have
more value to the trainers of meas
ures who want to tell about them
through this medium.
At the last election the number of
registered voters was about 3O5, 900
in the state. The registration before
the spring primaries was about $780,
000 This year the primary registra-
tion was 260, 900, and it is reasonably
expected that the total before Novem-
ber will run to more than 5000.
Warning is given not to send any
arguments yet, nor for many weeks
yet. The secretary of state is merely
trying at present to get an idea of
the size and scope of the pamphlet
in order to figure on its probable cost.
Bids will be asked for the printing
probably in August, and the pamph-
let not issued until in September.

Vining Brings
Remarkable Picture

When Prof. Irving Vining returned
from New York city he brought back
with him copy of photograph
which has caused quite a sensation in
the east and has been called the most
wonderful photograph ever taken.
The photograph is enlarged from a
very small snapshot which at first
view appears to be just an ordinary
snow scene. Close inspection reveals
likeness of our Saviour outlined
by the branches of a tree in such a
manner as to appear almost as if
sketched. There was no taking at
tached to the picture. Mr.. Winnings
copy is on exhibition in the window
of Whited's Jewelry store.

Mr.. Reed,s Statement.

The election is over and we have
all had our say, and doubtless many
Of us said too much. Now let us get
down to business and give to the af-
fairs of the city the very best service
we are able to render. The welfare
Of the town ought to be above the
personal ambitions of any man, and
the fact that we have differences Of
opinion is no indication that we are
not loyal citizens. l want to express
my thanks for the generous vote
given me and pledge my unqualified
support to the springs project and
every undertaking that is for the best
interest of the people.

Colonel Thinks C.A.C.
Will Go to Border

That the coast artillery companies
of the state troops will undoubtedly
be modified and sent to the Mexican
border in case war is declared, is the
word brought back from the Clack-
amas mobilization camp by Colonel
G. G. Hammond, commanding the
coast artillery corps, says the Eugene
Register.
Colonel Hammond visited the camp
all day Sunday and conferred with
leaders of the state troops as we'll as
with regular army officers. The coast
artillery has received orders to re-
cruit each company up to war
strength, which is over 100 men. The
companies now have 65 or 70 men
each.
Colopel Hammond said that among
the number of cities that have applied
for the additional coast artillery COM
panies of the o, N. G., Marshfield,
Astoria, Tillamook and Forest Grove
are favored by the war department
for the reason that they are nearest
to the coast and in case of war with
nation that has a navy they could
be sent to the coast very quickly.
klamath Falls, Grants Pass and other
inland cities have applied for a COM
pany each.
The military authorities of the
state are allowing none of the coast
artillery company members to trans
fer to the infantry companies at
Clackamas, neither are the infantry
companies allowed to recruit in coast
artillery towns.

called gaiety of life that is not alto
gether to be safely scrutinized.
These types of girls, however, are
not seriously ambitious to become
motion picture actresses. They may
think they are, but as a matter of
fact they merely regard the profes-
sion as means to less worthy end.
Although they are roolish, this is
quite apart from any desire to be-
come screen actress.
The truly ambitious girl is the one
that regards picture acting as a call
ing we'll worth her best endeavors.
With her it is not the means to
something else, but the end, in and
of itself, toward which her best eff
forts are to be untiringly directed.
She sees that pictures embody a
great art and is willing to labor and
sacrifice that she may make some
contribution to it, and it is this con-
tribution and not its reward that
counts first with her.
To the casual glance of too un-
appreciative world she may have
failed. Her sacrifices may seem to
have been for naught and her con-
tribution misdirected. However, in
so far as her ambition was laudable
and she true to her ideal, she was
not foolish. 1t does not always take
fame nor recognized success to prove
wisdom.

Tale eof Ancient Days

From 11t-blts.
 Twas high noon and sultry wittrai: in good sooth, a. right thirsty time O day. The brave and burly Knight Sir Longswigge de Frykynfulie refined up outside ye wayside hostelrie.
 What he. within" roared the ar- mored warrior.
 A neat wench appeared.
 Lass" duoth the knightly hero. 'ft hath been brought to mine ears that thy masters vats contain a potent and pleasing brew, and I would fain taste it. Go. bring me lusty flagonful. pritheer
 In trice he was holding in his hand a foaming flagen of one quart imperial measure. In another trice he was gaz- ing at his reflection in the silver bot tom. He contracted his aristocratic brows and pursed up his patrieian lips.
 "Wench" said he at length, "thou may'st refill the measure"
 The second quart followed it's prede- cessor and again the mail-clad cham pion ruminated deeply.
 "Ods bodikins." auoth he. "I'll cen sip once again." And again was the mighty flagon filled and omptied. The knightiy lips smacked like the sound of COW drawing her foot out of a singing bog.
 By my sacred haiidame" roared Sir Longswigge, but what the variets told me about thy masters brew was gos- pei truth! Beshrew me if I don't get down and have some"

EASTERN STORMS
 CAUSE ADVANCE
New York Cotton Market List Closed Steady
 Yesterday

New York, July 15.-Eastern belt storm news caused a moderate advance in the cotton market here this morning, but prospects for clearing weather served to check buying, and business was gener- ally quiet. october contracts sold up to 1ScSc and closed at 13.02c. with the gen eral list closing steady at a net advance of to 5 points,
 Cables were lower than due, but the market here opened steady at unchanged prices to an advance of 2 points and sold about to. points net higher right after the call on covering and local buying inspired by reports of heavy rains In the Atlantic states and cloudburst over northern Mississippi. The official fore casts for clearing weather checked the buying the early weather news, and there were reactions of 2 to points from the best during the middle of the morn ing, but the market steadied up again on tho official Weather details, showing very heavy precipitation In the Carolinas. December contracts sold up to 13.20c and January to 13.27e. or to points above last nights closing figures, and the close was within or points of the best. Re- ports from the weather bureau indicated that the disturbance in the sea was still central near Santo Domingo, with it's di- rection in doubt and apprehension that Mondays advices might show that it had moved nearer the gulf was probably factor in the steadier ruling of the mar ket. Several private reports of storm damage were received from the Caro- linas, but brokers find the ring said they saw very little sign of southern bbuying here, and the absence of such linas, but brokers in the ring said for the failure of the weather news to create a more aggressive demand from local sources. Private cables from Liver pool said advices had been received from Bombay reporting three day of rain in sections of India where most desired and that in consequence of the improved crop prospects, India was buying goods little more freely in Manchester. The Liver pool market, however, was quiet and houses with English connections ap- peared to have very few orders around the local ring. Fall River advices indi- cated increased mill curtalment, owing to shortage of operations but an improve ment in the supply of labor is expected this autumn owing to the slackening of the intuition factories.

BANKS ID
 COLLECT CHECKS
This New Duty Is of Great Importance to Financial
 World

New York, July 15.-To facilitate trans- fer of money from one part of the coun- try, the federal reserve banks have inau- gurate their countrywide system of collecting bank checks. This de- velopment of the reserve system is re- garded as second in importance only to the opening of the F federal reserve banks in November, 1914.
 Prompt and economical collection of checks. especially those payable at d distance, has been for years problem of ever increasing difficulty, the com plexity of which has grown with the development of the country's business. said R. H. Treman, deputy governor or the New York federal reserve bank, in statement today relative to the new pro- cedure.
 Banks themselves usually have made arrangements with each other for these collections, which in many cases have been unsatisfactory. Routes chosen have been roundabout. necessitating waste of time in collections and some abuses have grown up. The new system is of impor- tance to everyone who receives out of town checks or has remittances of that sort to make.
 Reduced cost of collection will be of general benefit. Actual and proper cost of transfer money between points will be more equitably distributed. Some items on which heretofore excessive charges have been made will now bear | charges approximately equivalent to ac- tual cost of collection.
 Less money will be tied up in the mails and each community will probably benefit by the retention in local banks of funds which have hitherto been trans ferred to the largest cities as neces- sary incident to the existing collection l arrangements"

DOMESTIC COTTON
 VALUES ARE FIXED
Stocks in Agents Hands Much Lower Than
 Usual

New York, July 15-Domestic cotton
 goods values are becoming firmly set for
 the early fall trade. Jobbers who are in
 the market report stocks in the hands of
 selling agents much lower than normal,
 while manufacturers complain that they
 are unable, because of labor shortage or
 other causes. to catch up with past orders.
 Heavy mapped goods such as cotton blan- lVets canton flannels and heavy domestlcs,
 are sold to the end of the year in many
 of the large mills. The duck markets
 nave become exceedingly strong in con
 sequence of additional government orders
 a steady export demand and the placing
 of future orders by users whose needs
 rorce them to cover ahead. Print cloths
 have held very steady and convertibles of the finer grades are without change. There is a better tone to the sheeting market. both in wide and 36-inch goods.
 Dress ginghams were opened for the new spring season at advances over last year ranging from IS to 30 per cent and good orders are being placed with mills. Many new lines of fine and fancy cottons are being shown in samples for the spring trade. The jobbing trade reports indi- cate a very full movement of merchandise.
 Yarn mills are declining business because of inability to take more within the de- livery dates specified and the knit goods industry continues abnormally active.

AGGRESSIVE BUYING IN WHEAT MARKET
Extensive Damage From Black Rust Regarded

July 15.-Iikelihood of exten- gressive buying today in the wheat mar ket- here As a result, sharp advances were scored and the finish was strong at gains of s9SAc to aAc, with July si11% and September. sl.13h. Corn closed 1hc to 21kG25sc up. and oats up cent to lAc. In provisions the outcome ranged from 2iac decline to a rise of Sc.
 Wheat advanced to the highest quo tations of the week and held nearly all of the grain. Jumps in price began within a few minutes after the market opened. Sultry moist weather in the northwest furnished the motive power. Cool winds which had been relied on to lessen the black rust danger seemed to have disappeared and reports were at hand that in some sections of North Da- kota the pest was visible on the stalks in every field. The assertion was added that the rust was not confined to an occasional stalk but was general fur ther incentive to the bulls lay in the fact that pit offerings here were unusually small until the market had shown a decided advance and that when profit taking did ensue the effect was notice ably of slight and temporary sort.
 Enlarged export demand accompanied the rise in the value of wheat. It was estimated that as much as 100000 bush els at the seabeard was disposed of for shipment to Europe Part of the total was definitely said to be domestic grown, the rest Canadian. Liverpool dis patches Indicate some renewal of anxiety
 in regard to the adequacy of supplies.
 Corn prices were lifted by word that the crop was firing in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas. Temperatures above 100 were re- ported in the southwest, and there was serious complaint of the absence of rain. In oats as in other cereals, crop dam age reports acted as handicap on the bears. Moreover, the call from the sea board was good and stocks were expected to show a big decrease for the week.
 Provisions rallied on account of the strength in grain. At first the market had been depressed owing to a decline in the value of hogs. Future quotations were as follows: Wheat 0neu High Low Close

 am bearfsh on the indicated pros- poets for harvesting of crop of cotton greatly in excess of the worlds needs. However. can change any minute I see prospects for this supply being dimin- ished enough to make the supply ap- proximate the worlds needs. Next month will tell the tale whether present pros poets which are for big yield, will be realized or not.
 Therefore, the factor which determines future prices is August weather.
