A Daughter of the Desert

The Brown City Dramatic Club pre-.
sented its play "a Daughter of the
Desert" to a fairly large audience in
Yale Opera house last Friday evening.
The characters were well chosen and
each part fitted in without break.
The drama was rather a heavy one,
but the young actors carried it off with
splendid effect.
The specialties were good and it is
quite likely that the house would have
been filled but for the exceedingly cold
weather which kept many by their
firesides.

local Roundup Association will stage
some lively stunts at Roseburg adver-
tising the Rogue River Roundup on

made to all Ashlanders who can go
to do so and to decorate their cars

quite a quantity of stamps. Postmas-
ter H. D. Reed is checking up the loss

in the past few motnhs. The work

was that of an old offender, for a
thorough search Of the office was
made by the thief. Registered mail
was cast aside when it was found to
contain nothing but legal papers.
The Bowers pharmacy was entered.

who robbed the postoffice. The thief
seemed to be familiar with all the
surroundings, and all clues point to

Call Imminent

the members of the 1st company not
to leave town for more than a few
hours without permission from the
commanding officer, and a call is ex-
pected within the next few days. It
is rumored that the Coast Artillery is
to he called out as soon as the army
bill has been signed by the president,
but this is no more than a rumor as
far as any verification Is possible.
The boys are all ''rarin' to go" Re-
markable progress has been made in
whipping the new recruits into shape
and Ashland's company will do credit
to the city when the mobilization call
comes. This company is fortunate in
having the cream of the young men
of the city enlisted, and a more INTEL
ligent bunch of young men of high
character could not be found any
where.

back them?

Sees Many Snakes
And Kills Twelve

Ben Bowers got into a regular COL
ony Of rattlesnakes over on the slope
of Grizzly peak the other day, and
managed to send twelve of the rep
tiles to snake heaven. He says he
counted at least seventy-two, but due
allowances must be made in view Of
the fact that the rattlers might have
had Ben a little ratified for the mo.
ment. He has bottle full of rattles
by which to remember the pleasant
little episode,
The number Of rattlesnakes on
Grizzly peak has been decreasing
lately, in the opinion of some stock
men, while others claim that there
are as many as ever. A very peculiar
fact is that rattlesnakes are rarely
seen south of Bear creek. The Dead
Indian country is also free from rat
tlesnakes.

on East Main street. Mr.. Dodge has
donated the use of the floor space for

greater number could visit 1t with
out the walk out to the high school.
Under the direction of Heinrich Held

Delmar Harmon at the junior high,
wonderful progress has been made in
the manual training and mechanical

Feed First Bompany

The 1st company received a very
pleasant surprise at drill Thursday
evening when the order came to lay
aside guns and belts and the company
was marched to the banquet room in
the basement of the armory, where
tables loaded down with ice cream,
Strawberries and cake greeted them.
Women of the Relief Corps, assisted
by Honor Guard girls and the veter-
ans of the G. A. r., saw to it that
every soldier boy was filled up, and
the memory of that feed will linger
when months of hardtack and bacon
have made such luxures as ice cream
seem like dream. Lieutenant Spen-
Ger made speech, the boys nearly
raised the roof with cheers, and it
was a merry hour. The artillerymen
gave their hosts and hostesses a vote
of thanks and returned TO the drill
floor wishing that every drill night
could bring such a treat.

Two Local Non CONS
To Become Officers

Word comes from Portland that
Sergeant Arthur Graham and Ser
geant Arthur Erickson of the 1st COM
pany, Coast Artillery, have been as
lected to be sent to the officers train
ing school at the Preside at San
Francisco. The two sergeants were
recommended by the commander of
the local company and approved by
Adjutant General White. Both have
excellent records and should make
good officers. Graham and Erickson
are both popular with the artillery
men here, and while rejoicing with
them in their good fortune the com
pany hates to lose them. They will
receive their discharges from the Ma
tional Guard upon enlistment in the
officers camp, and will leave in a few
days for San Francisco.

Fines Sequel To
Rooming House Row

A lumberjack from Weed who said
he was looking for good time, a
woman from San Diego who said she
came here from Hornbrook on her
San Diego doctors advice to recover
from pneumonia with the assistance
of Ashland's climate and mineral wa
ter baths, and the keeper Of local
rooming house were the central fig
ures in lively mixup at the before
mentioned rooming house Friday
night and at jury trial in the city
hall Saturday afternoon and evening.
The women were charged with con-
Quoting house of ill-fame and were
convicted after a trial lasting well
into the evening. Each paid a fine of
$50 and the San Diego health-seeker
left for more suitable cllmes. The
lumberjack plead guilty to charge
of disturbing the peace and paid a
fine of $25.
The lumberjack and the San Diego
woman each claimed that the row
started over an attempt on the part
of the other to rob. The row ended
with broken window and the arrival
of the police. The lumberiack's story
sounded more plausible to the jury.
Numerous witnesses were called in an
attempt to prove the general reputa-
tion of the rooming house to be bad,
and numerous humorous high lights
provided amusement for the court
room full of sensation-seeking spec
tators. The local rooming house
keeper claimed to be innocent of any
knowledge of what was going on and
told a well-connected story. The San
Diego woman rambled considerably
and brought down the house on sew
eral occasions. She claimed to have
an income, the income consisting Of
alimony from a divorced husband, but
stated she did not know whether her
husband was alive or dead.

Pledge S400 For
Army Y.M.C.A. Work

The Army Y. NJ. C. A. work had an
Ginning" with the churches OF Ash
land yesterday morning, and on the
first call for pledges in support OF
this work almost s400 was raised
without any personal solicitation
whatever; this is counting the month
ly pledges on basis Of eight monthly
payments only. The pledges are TAX
en- on SO much a month during the
continuance of the war, and may be
paid monthly, quarterly or in a lump
sum as desired. The international
committee find that it will be neces-
sary to have s3,O00,00O for the first
eight months of the campaign, and
Oregon's share of this is estimated at
s4S,O00. About half of that sum has
already been raised, as many of the
cities observed May for this special
work and have followed 1t up with
solicitation during the past week. 1t
is believed that considerable more can
be added to Ashland's contribution.
The efficient service of the Y. M.
c. A. to the soldiers on the Mexican
border and in the European camps
has been the subject of much favor
abel comment among government rep
resentatives, army officers and the
men themselves. 1t furnishes to the
soldier what the government does not
provide-opportunities for writing
and reading, music and social pleas
ures as well as moral uplift. And it
gets to the soldier in the way that the
soldier likes. The association at this
particular time faces uneXampled OPP
portunities for service to our soldiers,
and it is important that the work
which 1t is doing, and can do, for the
men and boys that are giving up their
own work and many Of them very
lucrative positions to serve the coun-
try, should receive the fullest possible
recognition and assistance. Clark
Bush is the treasurer of the local
committee, and payments or pledges
NAV be handed to him direct or
through any one of the three Ash
land banks.
