Musical Event at
Medf0rd Tuesday

Next Tuesday morning. April II,
Walter Damrosch and Efrem Zimbal-
list, with the New York Symphony
Orchestra. will arrive in Medford, on
their special train. If the weather
permits. they will probably take an
auto trip and visit Ashland. In the
evening they will appear in a pro-
gram at the Medford Natatorim, and
without a doubt 1t will be one of the
strtssest entertainments of its kind
ever visiting the Rogue River valley
Reports from every city where the
orchestra has appeared recently ver-
ify the statement that the New York
Symphony Orchestra is stronger than
ever before in its history, and with
Efrem Zimbalist added to this, as the
solo artist, make this attraction one
of the best to be seen in this coun-
try.
Damrosch and his orchestra come
direct from Portland to Medford, and
thence to San Francisco, and one can
see by the daiies from those cities
that the scale Of prices is much larger
In each of them than those main
tained at the Medford Natatorium for
the same entertainment. This is
fact which should he noted and ap-
preciated, as exactly the reverse is
usually the case. There are few
seats left at the Boot Shop

F0rty-Five New Recruits Added
TO First Co. Coast ARTILLERY

Forty-five new recruits have been
enlisted in the 1st company Coast
Artillery, here during the past two
weeks, thirty-five this week. A wave
of patriotism has swept the city and
practically every young man of re-
quired qualifications who has no one
dependent upon him has Joined. The
high school furnished large number
and the senior class of the school,
which is the largest graduating class
in the history of Ashland, will have
but three or four boys on the plat
form should the call come, as 1t seems
most likely it will, before graduation.
The students who are in good stand
ing will receive their diplomas.
The young business men of the city
who are able 10 go are also enlisting
The company now has a membership
of 104.
The most gratifying feature of the
enlisting is the fact that the officers
of the lst company have not used any
of the bullragging tactics practiced
in some places, nor has any attempt
been made to arouse an artificial
spirit of patriotism. The officers
merely set what the company had to
offer before the young men and did
