Wits at Threat
OF Reform School

"Well, young man, how would you
like to spend a couple of years in the
reform school?" said City Recorder
Winner to Earl Wakefield, alias Earl
Lee, the lad who was held pending
an investigation Thursday Of last
week. A look of astonishment broke
out over the young mans face and in
a quavering voice he replied: "I
wouldn't like that very we'll "
"Would you rather go home to your
mother?" asked the Judge. "Surest
thing" came quickly.
The lad, about Is years of age, was
arrested by Railroad Patrolman AL
Irwin, who with a companion was
seen prowling around the railroad
district Wednesday night. The COM
panion escaped after Irwin fired
three shots, commanding a halt. At
the trial his story was discredited
and City Recorder Winner, who wired
the authorities at Eugene, received
information that the lads real name
was Earl Lee Wakefield and his
mother lives in Eugene. After some
sound advice, which he promised to
obey, he was released.

Survey Continues
To Blue Ledge Mine

The survey of the proposed rail-
road to the Blue Ledge mine is be-
ing forwarded by the force of en-
gineers under the direction of Chief
Engineer BENJAMIN L. Campbells The
surveyors now are at Camp 3, near
the Applegate postoffice, and will
continue up the Applegate river for
some distance. On the completion
of the survey the checking up and the
establishment of the permanent lines
will commence.
Permanent locations will depend
in some measure on the securing of
the rights Of way, which is under the
direction of e. F, HELLER. No diff
Guilty is expected in this matter as the
farmers of the Applegate section real
ize the immense benefit to be de-
rived from the building of road
through that district, and they are
willing to cooperate in any way pos
sible.
No options are taken on any of the
lands through which the railroad sur
vey runs, 1t is stated by the men at
the head of the project, as it is
railroad proposition pure and simple.
The securing of the rights of way has
already begun.

County Total Loan
Reaches S607,7OO

The second Liberty loan campaign
ended Saturday night with a total
of $6O7,700 subscribed in Jackson
county. This total Is midway be-
tween the minimum and maximum
quotas, being approximately $155,
above the minimum and $15S,000 be-
low the maximum. In the last "a
hours Sill, 900 were raised. When
the resources of Jackson county are
considered and the financial strin-
gency of the past few years has been
taken into account, this showing is
almost miraculous.
Oregon has subscribed $25, 900, 900
to the second Liberty loan, or ST.
100000 more than its minimum
quota, according to Official estimates
late Saturday night. Portland sub
scribed $13,65O, 900, or nearly double
its maximum quota of $7,745,367. 1t
was said final returns, II they chang
ed these figures, would swell them.

Haig Offensive On
the Ypres Front

Field Marshal Haig's forces Satur-
day morning made two separate at
tacks on the German positions north
and east of Ypres. The first was
from a point near Saint Janshock
westward through the southern
fringe Of the Houtholst ridge to the
region of Nieuwemolen. The other
assault was on both sides Of the
Ypres-Menin highway along the Che
luvelt ridge In the direction of the
town of that name.
The British troops as we'll as the
French, who also attacked on the
left, made excellent headway, push
ing forward on wide front.
From the heights of the Aisne the
German crown prince is being driven
back relentlessly toward the fortress
Of Laon and perhaps to general re-
treat along line from st. Quentin
to the Champagne. His strongholds
wrenched from him, 10000 Of his
troops prisoners, many thousands
slain and wounded, and 100 big guns
lost, the predicament of the crown
prince Is most serious
Every foot gained by General PEI
tain in the Chavignon salient weak
ems the line northward through La
Fere to st. Quentin. The French al
ready are on three sides Of La Fere
and st. Quentin has all but fallen
into allied hands several times since
the German retreat of last spring A
retirement from st. Quentin and La
Fere to line running north from
Laon would endanger the entire Ger
man positions on the western front
as far north as Ypres.
Probably the two most important
salients on the western front from
the sea to verdun are those east OF
Ypres and south-southwest of Laon.
Field Marshal Haig Is hammering at
one and General Petain is smashing
through the other. A German retire.
ment all along the line might result
in surprising eventualities and there
are reports from Germany that such
action is not without the realm OF
possibilities.
Italy's mottle is being critically
tested by the tremendous Teutonic
drive on the Isonzo front under COM
mand of Emperor Charles Of AUSTRIA
Hungary. Apparently virtually the
entire Austrian army and strong Ger
man forces are pitted against the
Italians
From the first blows, General Ca
dorna's second army has suffered
serious shock and Berlain claims the
defeat Of this section of the Italian
forces, from which It announces the
capture of 10000 men and $50 guns.

H. c. Beebe Has
Left for Africa

H. G. Beebe, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w, B. Beebe of this city, and wife,
nee Marie Abbott of Minneapolis,
Mimi, sailed October 25 from New
York City for Loanda. Angola, Portu-
guese West Africa They will pass
through the submarine zone and en-
route will stop at Havana, Portugal,
Spain, Madeira Islands, Canary
Islands and various other ports along
the west coast of Africa.
Mr.. Beebe is a Stanford University
engineer of the class of 1914. For
the past two years he has been en-
ployed by the Henry L. Doherty in
terests of New York city, in the ca
pacity of field geologist. That which
takes him to West Africa is an ac-
cepted position as oil geologist and
engineer for the Cia de Pesquisas
Mineiras de Angola, commonly known
as the Congo Mines Company of
Great Britain. He has been given
charge of all geologic work and
drilling operations in Angola.
This is a new country to enter the
oil game, but Mr.. Beebe leaves with
high hope to develop another big oil
center in that country. 1t is needless
to state that he is to receive hand
some salary for his work. He ex-
poets to return to the United States
in two years and will visit Ashland
to tell his friends many exciting ex-
periences of the Dark Continent and
to show them pictures and trophies.

New Flour Rate
ElateS the Farmer

Pacific coast farmers view with
elation the new rate of 60 cents a
hundred on flour for export to Eu-
rope between San Francisco and all
points on the Gulf of Mexico, estab-
lished by the Southern Pacific at the
request of the food administration.
The old rate was 65 cents to Calves
ton apd 70 cents to New Orleans.
The new schedule permits a rate of
5S cents on wheat applicable to all
points on the gulf.
G. W. Luce, freight traffic man
ager of the Southern Pacific, is seek
ing authority to make the rate on
flour earlier than November 10, the
statutory time.
AS a result of the new rates, mil
lions of bushels of Australian wheat
destined for the allies will be divert
ed to San Francisco for milling, sent
as flour to gulf ports and there re-
loaded on steamers bound for Eu-
rope. Hitherto the practice has been
to transport the wheat on steamers
that went from Australia to Europe
clear around Cape Horn or through
the Panama Canal. The new arrange
ment will save steamers, and as flour
will not occupy as much space as
wheat, saving in car as we'll as
transatlantic steamer space will also
be affected.
Traffic experts believe that Pacific
coast mills will receive a big impetus
from the new rates; that more wheat
will be planted here and surplus Of
flour milled from Pacific wheat will
be available for export. The new
rates apply only to wheat and flour
when consigned through to foreign
destinations.

When the time comes for Ashland
to respond to call Of duty she Is
always certain to meet the demand

no way has Ashland shirked her duty
at the call of patriotism. She has

ism and has never yet failed to re-
spond literally.
This splendid record has again
been demonstrated during the second

Grant Lands to Open
For Agriculture

The opening Of the first block of
the Oregon G California grant lands
for settlement will take place early
next spring, has been announced by
Clay Tallman, commissioner of the
General United States Land Office at
Washington, D. G. The first block
to be offered comprises land in the
southern part of the state Only the
lands classified as agricultural will
be offered. Timber lands, having
100000 or more on each 40 acres,
will be classified separately and ulti-
mately offered in larger units for
manufacturing.
For the purposes Of entry o. & G.
grant lands probably will be divided
into four blocks which will be sue
cessively opened, according to Com
missioner Tallmans present plans.
The immediate purpose of his visit
was to see about the classification
of the northern portion of the grant
lands. Cruising parties working
southwark have reached point
south of Eugene. Classification was
accomplished last year from the
southern border Of Oregon to a point
north of Roseburg. The strip that
lies between these two points will
have to wait until next year for clas-
sification.
While II is not the intention to
sell larger blocks of timber lands at
this time. Commissioner Tallman said
he is selling several small isolated
tracts of timber that can be cut in
connection with present private cut
ting operations The usual method
of selling at public auction will be
followed in these instances. The
commissioner of the General Land
Office announced that litigation will
be started soon to adjust final tax
and other matters with the railroad.

Ashland On Honor List For
0versubscribing Second Loan

scriptions poured in. BY Saturday
evening Ashland had. the enviable
record Of subscribing $1S5, $50, an
excess of $45,O5O over her allotted
quota
At the beginning Of the drive sub
scriptions came in more leisurely,
and while the standard was kept up
at fairly rapid pace, yet subscribers
were not responding in a manner but
what some apprehensions were felt
among the solicitors for fear that
Ashland would not make her quota.
This fear was wiped out Thursday,
however, when the subscriptions were
almost doubled, thus placing Ashland
among the foremost towns of jack
son county to raise its allotment.
Many citizens anticipated their saw
ings for long time in subscribing
for all of the first Liberty bond issue
their circumstances would permit,
not expecting that another call would
be made, and while the names of such
do not appear in the above list as
subscribers to the second bond issue,
they have nevertheless proven their
loyalty by doing their bit in taking
the first issue.
