Predicts Glowing
Future for Ashland

Silvey Stuart, prominent farmer
and stock man from the willamette
valley, spent few hours in Ashland
Tuesday. G. S. Butler and D. Perozzi
took Mr.. Stuart over the city in an
auto. Although 1t was not his first
visit to Ashland, he was more en-
thusiastic than ever, using his own
words, with "the future Los Angeles
of Oregon"
In view of the fact that Mr.. Stuart
has travelled extensively and has been
all over the United States, we feel
inclined to give the public some of
the good things he had to say about
Ashland. He said in part:
"Do not worry aboutlAshland. You
have here one of the ideal spots of
America, and 1t is safe to say II has
a wonderful future. First you have
your mineral water. Mere words do
not describe what ! think of the won
derful possibilities that are in store
for Ashland. 1t may be another gem
Grafton, but 1t will come. You have
the altitude, climate and scenery con-
ducive to an ideal home and school
city, something that will appeal to
the wealthy home builder. It is only
matter of few years when south
ern Oregon will be under irrigation,
possibly from the great klamath
lake. You know money will do any
thing, and capital will come event
ually and Ashland will grow to he a
large resort and college town and an
ideal spot in which to llve."

William Ilich, a klamath Falls
young man, who passed through Ash

ence. The young man volunteered his
services and served two months in
actual trench warfare in France. He
was wounded twice and carries the
scar of shrapnel wound in his fore
head. After he was dismissed from
a French hospital he returned to the
United States and to his home at
klamath Fails. Here he had to reg
lister. His number was called in the
first draft, and in 40 days after he
arrived home he was sent to Ameri-

OYSTER SEASON TO OPEN:
RlVALVES WILL ADVANCE

Bivalve lovers will be up against
it during the coming season, which
opens on Saturday, although the oys-
ter market isn't usually strong in tho
south until October. The cost Of la
bor of cans and of everything else
connected with the oyster industry
has gone up in price, in some in
stances as high as 100 per cent, so
oyster men put a conservative esti-
mate on this years advances as 25
per cent more than prices paid last
year.
Oyster stews will probably go up
more than the other table-fed varie-
ties of the dish, as milk and crackers
have both had considerable boost
and will add to the already advanced
oyster prices. The days of the 15-
cent stew belong to the dear dead
past and two-bits will be the least
the lunch counter will slip you stew
for. That is according to the menus
will enlighten the epicurean as much
as he needs enlightenment.

COLORED BOY WAS
KILLED YESTERDAY
RUFUS POLITE, NINE-YEAROLD
BOY, KILLED BY AUTO
TRUCK.

Through an unfortunate accident,
but due entirely to his own careless
ness, little negro boy, named Rufus
Polite, lost his life under the wheels
of heavily loaded truck at the cor
ner of Monk and Oglethorpe streets
at about IL O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. The truck, belonging to the
Downing company, was being driven
by Elmer Polite, who is an uncle of
the boy. The accident was witness
ed by several bystanders. all of whom
eXonerate the driver from any blame.
The child, who was about years
old, was down town with his grand
father, Austin CasOn. 1t seems that
the old man had his back turned from
the boy for a moment, when without
evidently with the intention of jump
ing on the running board of the truck
for the purpose of stealing a ride.
He missed his hold, or stumbled and
fell, the rear wheels of the truck
passing over his neck, and killing
him almost instantly. The driver OF
the truck never knew anything about
it. not having seen the boy run out,
until he was stopped by Mr.. A. o.
Anderson. some distance beyond, and
told that he had run over a boy. FL
mer Polite is, of course, heart-broken
over the regrettable occurrence, es-
pecially as it was his brothers child
who was killed. All the witnesses
aver that he was going at a very
moderate rate of speed.
An investigation WILL of course
be made by the property authorities
but it is a foregone conclusion that
the driver of the truck will be ex
onerated
Little Willie Rainey, a white boy
who was standing in Evans Drug
store, saw the negro boy rush out
and fall under the wheels of the
truck, and he was so overcome thai
he almost tainted, and had to be re
vived by Mr.. Evans. Young Rainey
seemed to think that the little negro
stumbled before he ever touched the
side of the truck.
The accident is regrettable, anG
should be a warning to all boys, white
and black, who are in the habit OF
surreptitiously jumping onto passing
trucks, automobiles and wagons.
Major c. Downing, head of the
Downing company, when seen by {
News representatives yesterday, ex
pressed sincere regret at the unfor
| tunate accident.

MARSHHEN SEASON OPENS
ON SEPTEMBER FIRST

The marshhen season will open on
Saturday, September /, and this year,
according to the present outlook, To-
cal sportsmen will get an opportunity
to shoot the birds early in the season,
as a big spring tide is expected on
Monday. Though the open season
begins September 1st, often it is a
long time after that date before a
suitable tide prevails.
There is no state law against shoot
ing marshhens, but they are protect
ed by the national game law. How
ever, in order to shoot them legally
a state license is necessary, therefore
Game Warden Bunkley will be kept
busy issuing them for the next few
days. Licenses can be secured at the
wardens office, at r. l.. Philips in
surance office and at Wilkes billiard
parlors, corner of Monk and Grant
streets. The game warden hopes
that there will not be any violations
by shooting without license, but he
states that anybody caught violating
the law in this respect will be pros
ecuted.

One of England's Greatest Men
Passed to His
Reward.
HE WAS VERY DEMOCRATIC
Starting as a Lawyer, lie Was
Sent to Parliament for Six
Years Before Succeeding to
Ills Title.

London, Aug 29.-Earl Grey, for
mer governor general OF Canada, died
this morning after long illness.
His active career comprised not
only the administration of the govern
ment OF Rhodesia and representation
of the British government as COVER
nor general of Canada, but industrial
and financial operations i'll the deVel-
opment of South Africa.
Earl Grey was an intimate friend
of the late Joseph II. Choate, Ameri-
can ambassador to Great Britain, Of
ten visited the United States, called
upon Presidents Roosevelt and Taft
at Washington, and declared that he
was lover of America. This senti-
ment he gave as reason for restor-
ing to the United States a picture OF
Benjamin Franklin, which had been
in possession of his family since Earl
Grey's great grandfather. Major Gen
eral Charles Grey, was quartered in
Franklins house in Philadelphia as
an officer of General Howe's staff dur
| ing the revolutionary war. The res
| toration of the picture was announced
| by Earl Grey at banquet rendered
! to him in New York while he was
| governor general of Canada. In max
ing the announcement he said he be
! lieyed there were higher laws than
| the laws of possession.
Born November %, 1851, Alfred
Henry George, the fourth Earl Grey
| was educated at Trinity college, Cam
bridge. He married in 1877 Alice Hol
ford, of Westonbirt England. Two
daughter, Lady Evelyn Grey and Lady
| Sybil Grey, were the result of the
union.
l By profession, Earl Grey was a
| lawyer He was member of parlia
ment from northumberland for six
| years, beginning in 1880. On the death
| of his uncle, Gen. Sir Charles Grey
| in 1894, he succeeded to the title and
! took his seat in the house of lords.
| Succeeding his brother-in-law, Lord
| Mimic, Earl Grey was appointed gov
ernor general of Canada in 1904, and
! occupied that post for six years.
| Although born an aristocrat, Ear
Grey was very democratic in his sym
pathies. This found chief expression
in his almost lifelong activity as 6
social reformer, in his efforts to re
form the saloons of England and il
the establishment of a cooperative
partnership system on his estates il
| Northumberland
Lean and bald, with shoulders g
TRIBE rounded, Earl Grey was of dis
| tinguished appearance and interest
ing personality. BY his democratic
manner he made thousands of friends
during his administration in Canada
