evenings, the Pacific Coast Associa-
ton Of Nurserymen, which has its
convention in Medford, will come
here for a drive over our scenic roads
and a picnic supper in the park.
July will be a busy month in Ash
land, the 4th, 9TH and 9Th being the
dates for the Springs Dedication cele-
bration, and the Chautauqua begins
on the 7th and continues for ten days
or more. In August we will have an
opportunity to show the State Edi-
torial Association, which meets at
Medford, our developments along the
health resort line, and in September
the G. A. r. have a reunion, which
will be he'd in the park. The Odd
Fellows have already selected their
date for their outing in this month,
and they with the Rebekahs will have
an attendance of some five hundred.
During the summer there will be
Portland Day, as we have assurances
that the Portland Chamber of Com
merce will send a trainload of boost
ers from that city. The Medford
Commercial Club have appointed a
committee to arrange for the Medford
Day outing, which will bring residents
of our sister city here in a body. The
bankers Of southern Oregon are to be
here, but, like many other events, the
date has not as yet been selected.
OF course, in addition to the gath
erings of city and valley and state
wide scope there will be scores of
smaller picnics and affairs, and dur
ing the summer Lithia Park promises
to take on the perpetual appearance
of a vast picnic grounds as family
and neighborhood picnics by the doz-
en- will be daily occurrences. During
the past year the habit of taking a
luncheon to the park during the
warm weather proved to be most pop
ular, and should grow in favor this
year until week gone by without
at least one park picnic will seem
week lost to the Ashlander.
But it is upon the large gatherings
that interest is centered, and Ashland
is assured of at least thirty big days
which will attract thousands to the
park.

Great Road Show
Comes Wednesday

A road show, not a motion picture,
but comedy-drama which has Gre
ated the sensation OF the season on
the coast is coming to Ashland on
Wednesday evening, May II. May
Robson, regarded as the leading COM
edienne of the American stage, and a
fine cast in "The Making Over of
Mrs. Matt" Is an attraction which
guarantees an evening Of complete
enjoyment
Mrs. Herman Mattern of Ashland
saw May Robson in this play in San
Francisco recently and told Manager
Bergner of the Vining that lit was
the finest comedy-drama | have ever
seen in my life."
Everywhere along the coast where
this play has showed, the newspaper
reports are most highly commenda-
tory.
OF course, the art of Miss Robson,
mellowed by years of experience, is
at its best now, picturesqueness,
feeling and charm being her chief vir-
tues in the rendition of her role, and
we can only say that Miss Robson
promises a delightful comedy that
will be found a refreshing treat both
to her auditors and her critics. She,
herself, asserting that there will be
continued waves of laughter and
storms of mirth surging from its be-
holders, for the entire play is said to
fairly scintilate with witticism, and
Miss Robson's mannerisms and con-
ception of true comedy will add much
to the amusement of her auditors.

Leaves Booze in
Smashed Auto

Chief of Police Porter issued a
warrant this morning for Cliff Rob-
erts of Medford, who will be brought
to Ashland by Officer Winner to an
swer to a charge of bringing liquor

II YOU Have Not
Lived Here ALWAYS

In order to organize the former
residents of the various states from
which they came, there are to be
number of meetings of these resi-
dents in the city hall during this and
next week, to perfect plans for an
outing which will be held in Lithia
Park during the summer. The sue
cess of these outings depends alto
gether upon the interest that our cit
izens take, and all are urgently re-
quested to be at the meeting of the
state in which they were former resi-
dents. Some states have regular Or
ganizations, while some have now
under consideration the formation of
such, while other states have fewer
former residents here and it has been
deemed advisable to group the vari-
GUS sections, whereby there will be
greater chance of successful out
ing.
The former residents of the Rocky
Mountain states, which include North
and South Dakota, Colorado, Ne
vada, Wyoming, Montana, Utah, Ari-
zona and New Mexico, will have a
meeting on Tuesday, the 18th, at 2
p. m. The former residents of Wash
ington and Idaho will meet on We'd
nesday, the 17th, at p. M; of Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Minnesota on
Thursday, the 18th, at 2 p. M; of Hi
nois and Indiana on Friday, the 18th,
at p. M; Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York on Saturday, the goth,
at 2 p. M; the New England states
on Monday, the 22nd, at p. M, and
the southern states, which include
Florida, North and South Carolina,
Georgia, Virginia, West Virginia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri,
Louisiana and Arkansas, will meet
on Tuesday, the 23rd, at p. m. A
good deal of interest has been shown
by the former residents from Dixie,
and 1t bids we'll that the Southern
States Day" will be one of the big
events of the summer season.

Lithia Will Be Off
Two or Three DAYS

The lithia water will be turned off
in the park and depot fountains
Wednesday of this week for two or
three days. The water will positively
be on again before Sunday. The pur-
pose of the action Is to allow of the
placing of a new cylinder in the pump
so as to get more perfect pressure.
In the past the pressure has varied
slightly, throwing a strain on the
lines and affecting the carbonization
of the water to some extent. The
new cylinder will assure a steady
pressure and even carbonization at
all times.

BUCHAREST. Nov 6.-Thc Tcu- tons yesterday made terrific on slought on the entire Russolinma- nan line in DobTudja, but were re pulsed with extreme heavy losses. The resumption of the TeutoniC offensive after several days of quiet is believed to have been d feint to cover the shift ing of a portion of the German forces to Pennsylvania where the kumanianS have been steadily gaining ground.
 It was noticeable that the attack CTS were far less numerous than dur ing the big German drive of two weeks ago. and though the attackers made most ferocious thrust at the Rumanian lines their numbers were not sufficient to carry them through and they were driven back with ter rife slaughter.
 On the Transylvanian front the itu- manians have repeatedly defeated the TeutOns, and in recent fighting at Vulcan and Redtower passes the Ger mans have lost heavily and have been compelled to give way before the Ru- manian advance.

At the beginning of the cam paign 1t appeared that Wilson would be easily defeated, but as a campaign CT Hughes has been a previous dis appointment to the party and has fail ed to attract the people. His argu- ments failed to ring true and fell on deaf ears.

Eleventh Hour Predictions
 Favorable To President
Herald Poll of 25oooO Straw Votes Gives Wilson the Lead Situation is Delicate and Little Impetus May Give Wilson Landslide Ford Influence Being Felt in Detroit Republicans Fear the Women Vote in Illinois,

New York, Nov. 6.-The New York Herald poll of 250,00O straw votes gives Wilson the lead. The political experts say the situation is delicate and a little impetus may precipitate a landslide for Wilson in the eleven tn hour. The back drift toward Hughes. anticipated by the leaders in the pivotal states has been very small and if carried by theRepubuican can didate 1t will be by very small plur- alities. In fact it may be said there has been no drift toward Hughes. the best that can be stated is that Will sons gains have been slightly check ed. The total poll to the end of the seventh week gives Hughes 48.6 per cent and Wilson 49.2 per cent. In the fifst week of the poll Wilson had but 46.4 per cent, but has steadily climb ed as the campaign progressed. Late in September Hughes had 80 per cent of the Progressive vote to Wilson's IT per cent. In the finals Hughes gets 73.6 and Wilson 25.1 and Ben son. the socialist candidate, the re- mainder. The Northwestern states give Wilson 50 per cent, or l93 cleo toral votes, which, with the IA votes of the Solid South gives him BOT votes in the electoral college. The states giving Hughes 50 per cent of the vote have a total electoral vote of 182, to which add Pennsylvani with 48 votes and Utah with 4, gives total of 224 electoral votes. The electoral votes necessary to choice are 2SS.. Wilson should carry the state of Washington on account 0, the women votes and labor, Montana on account of the labor vote. Hughe" should carry Oregon because the la bor trend is outweighed by Hughes business policy. The farmer votes of Idaho are for Hughes.
Valdez daily prospector., 1916-11-06

inois, Michigan and Wisconsin will go for Hughes, and as one goes all will probably go. Connecticut is still uncertain, but favors Hughes. LaFol- lette's championing of the Adamson bill and the Underwood tariff law, ig- noring Hughes, has materially assist ed in the trend toward Wilson in Wis consin. The Dakotas, Iowa and Kansas are strongly Hughes. Colorado is Democratic, Wyoming. by light vote, is undoubtedly Wilsonian. Roosevelt 8 warlike speeches. have antagonized many of the Missourians, and has turned the tide toward Wilson. In- dications are that Wilson will carry West Virginia, but the Republicans claim the state for Hughes. The for mer Hughes majority in Delaware has without doubt gone over to Will
 son. Maryland Is unswervingly for Wilson. The indications are that the New England states are Republican, but by greatly reduced majorities.
 The most effective issue of the Democrats, that Wilson kept us out of War;" and the Adamson bill, have been potent factors in turning tn , vote of the country to Wilson. ana the present prosperity of the farmers and laborers has been helpful. The Republicans were panic stricken two weeks ago and were bordering on col lapse. Owing to unsatisfactory man. agcment by the campaign committees the Republican states were demOral- ized and crumpled up. The state lead CTS have been careless of the nation al reults, permitting state issues to take precedence over the presidential
 ace. Political observers believe a real united Republicanism could have overcome Wilson's lead. Roosevelt, In his campaign trip through the Middle west antagonized thousands, and his campaigning has been 8 detriment rather than an aid. Throughout the Middle West the Progressives are be- lieved to be palpably pleased with the situation, although they are making no public demonstrations of their joy. Labor's approval of Wilson. the Re- publican leaders state, will be really responsible If Hughes is defeated.

Outlook is WilsOnian

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The Repub- licans unreservedly claim Michigan, although it is admitted that Detroit will give Wilson substantial major ity, but outside the city it is cOntid- .ently predicted Hughes will overcome Wilson's lead. Henry Ford's influence is being strongly felt, and if Hughes does carry the state it will be by greatly reduced plurality. The Repub
 licans admittedly fear the result in Illinois. Out of 5000 women votes boiled Wilson had a majority of TOO and this Is believed to be fair in- dication of the women vote through out the state That Wilson will pile up an enormous plurality in Chicago in conceded. Many Republican raj roads are openly championing Will son depite the 8-hour law. The real pivot on which the state will swing is the women vote. More than half a million women will cast their first votes in presidential election this year and these are unqualifiedly Will sonian. It is indicated that Wilson will gain a substantial plurality in New York City, but the Republicans claim Hughes will carry the state by 80, ,e00. The state vote exceeds the city vote by about 300.0O0. and in the upstate precincts Hughes is ex- pected to overcome Wilson's lead in the city. In a poll of 27,000 Ohio votes Wilson had a good majority. The big auto industry is helping 'Ohio's defection from the Republican ranks. The Republicans also have slight hopes of Wisconsin, whose big German vote in confidently counted on giving Wilson a good majority
 Minnesota is also seeding from the Republicans. The Republicans still claim confidence in the deciding states, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Ill,

Charges Money Power

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The New York World charges the central mon ey power with directing the betting in the interest of Hughes for the pur- pose of influencing the result by pour ing a flood of Hughes money on the market. The New York Post makes a similar charge. Chairman McCor- mick, of the Democratic National Committee. states that Wilson is as- sured of 364 votes in the electoral college and possibly 416. He adds New York, Connecticut and Indiana to the Herald list of Democratic states.
