Company l, 3rd Oregon Infantry
which has made its headquarters in
Medford for the past four months
will be transferred from that city to
the regiment headquarters at Clack'
amas, Ore, somewhere around Au,
gust /. Another company of the reg
iment will be sent to Medford to re-
place company and take up the
work of guarding the Southern Pa
cific tunnels and bridges.
The change will be welcomed by
every member of the company from
Captain Todd down to the last pri-
vate, as they long ago tired of the
monotony of guard patrol and bar
racks life. Since the company's ar
rival in Medford it has had no chance
to. drill because a large portion OF
the command was absent daily on
guard duty all the way from Rose
burg to the other side Of the Siski-
yous.
The 3rd Oregon has received or

Sergeant Invents
"Chemical He'll

Sergeant w. s. McCaleb of 9Th
company, in Cottage Grove, has in
vented a liquid which he believes
may prove of great benefit to the
United States in prosecuting the war
and which he will offer to the gov
ernment. He calls the liquid "chemi-
cal hell" There are two chemicals
which, when brought together, ignite,
and pouring water upon the flames
serves only to spread them. The fire
can not be extinguished and when
once ignited tho chemicals must be
consumed. A large bottle is used to
contain one of the chemicals The
other is placed in small bottle and
this is placed inside the larger bot
tie. II the two bottles are dropped
any distance they will break and the
chemicals unite and ignite.
Sergeant McCaleb thinks his inven-
tion could be used to great advan-
tage by aeroplanes and that whole
cities could be set afire In few min
utes. But a small amount is neces-
sary to start flame and the cost Is
less than IL cents gallon.

Birth of a Nation
Coming August IL

In these trying times Of national
stress, no attraction of the theater
can so satisfy and hearten as that OF
d. w. Griffith's "The Birth of a Ma
tion," that mighty drama of Ameri-
can struggle, of American dis-union
then of American reunion and
final re-birth.
Mr.. Griffith's eternal production
was a revelation when 1t first burst
forth upon exacting New York and
the other great centers of the coun-
try; later it was the attraction par
excellence Of the theatrical world;
now 1t is universally proclaimed the
drama of the Union-the spirit oi
these as well as of the trying times
gone by.
Lincoln's words and Lincoln's in
fluence live today as, perhaps, never
have they lived before, and Lincoln
is the guiding hand-the all-pervad-
ing spirit-of "The Birth Of Ma
tion," the nations play.
This wonderful production appears
at the vining theater, and to say that
1t will not be greeted by overflowing
audiences in Ashland is to say that
Americans have forgotten their ma
tionality. Do not forget the dates

Sunday Evening
Services Growing

The Sunday evening union services
are growing in interest. Last even
ing there was good crowd assem-
bled to hear DR.. John o. Hall of Will
lamette University. The speaker
took for his topic "The Deity of
Jesus" in which he answered in a
scholarly manner the question he
asked in connection with the topic,
"Was Jesus Merely a Good MANI"
Dr. Hall answered the question as
he believes, then gave three vitality
important and convincing proposi-
tions as evidence of his belief.
Jesus Christ Is the Messiah the son
of God and man, the unique man of
history and the great teacher of the
world-the only really good man.
the only perfect man of the world"
was his answer His three PROPOSE
tions given by way Of simple evidence
or proof that the ordinary man can
understand clearly we're these First,
the New Testament, which pictures
the Man of Nazareth so perfectly
from every angle; second, the church
with its unique beginning among the
twelve Jews of little or no education
or promise that has survived all the
vicissitudes Of nineteen centuries,
while thousands of other sects and
creeds have sprung up and lived for
a time, only to die; and lastly, the
personal experiences of men who
have sought to live the religion
taught by Jesus Christ.
DR.. Hall held his audience to keen
attention for nearly an hour, the in
terest growing with the length Of the
address. In the able discourse DR..
Hall gave evidence OF being close
student of history and Bible scholar
OF unusual ability. His viewpoint Is
broad and his vision clear.

Phoenix Robbers
Are Found Guilty

Rubber and Collins, yeggmen of
long experience and frequenters OF
many penitentiaries, were found
guilty in the federal court last Thurs
day and at o'clock were sentenced
to ten years in the federal prison.
said to be two of the heaviest penal
ties ever handed down by the federal
bench in Portland. Mathison was
was acquitted, as II was found impos-
sible to convict him on charge OF
conspiracy with the men who were
caught in the act, and he will prob
ably be returned to ROseburg to face
the charge of robbing a store at Can
yonville, This robbery occurred just
previous to the attempted act at Rid
die, and it is believed the evidence is
sufficient for conviction.
According to Sheriff Quine OF
Douglas county, the men are consid-
eItu uduStIOVo Cllililhuio anu udu
been wanted for some time by the Of
ficers of the state. Collins is known
to have been in the penitentiaries OF
Colorado, Washington and California,
while Rubber was an inmate of the
California institution at least.
The men were convicted on four
counts, three in connection with the
Phoenix robbery and one with the
affair at Riddle Since three terms
will be served at the same time and
the other after the completion of the
first penalty, the full terms Of i'm
prisonment will aggregate but ten
years. The Douglas county officers

Rabid Cat Is Latest
Menace at klamath

Klamath Falls, July 23,-Bitten
through the nose by what Is believed
may have been rabid cat yesterday.
Grace, the little five-year-old daugh-
ter Of A. G. Geinger of this city, is
reported better today, although her
injury will receive the most careful
attention
The child was playing on the floor
when the cat, which was about five
feet distant, suddenly made a lunge
and had inflicted the wound before
anyone could prevent 1t. It then
dashed madly around, biting and
striking at everything within reach,
and was finally disposed Of.
DR.. Warren Hunt, who attended
the little girl, fears that the animal
had rabies, and has sent the head
away for examination. In referring
to the matter today he gave the eau
tion that in any cases such as this,
the animals should be corraled and
fed for several days, and In event OF
their death It will be proof positive
that rabies exists, and the patients
can be treated accordingly.
