GAR. Will Probably
Gather in Ashland

Commander James Mattingly OF the
Southern Oregon G. a. R. states that
the report given out last week that
the G. A. r. was to hold its reunion
next fall at Butte Falls was errone-
Gus. He states that the selection OF
the encampment site is left in the
hands of the officers and has not been
made definitely as yet. However, the
Medford Grants Pass, Eagle Point
and Central Point people have been
heard from informally to the effect
that they would like to meet again at
Ashland, where q very successful
gathering was held iats yeLr, and this
city will no doubt be selected. Ash
land offers ideal inducements for
such meets. The old soldiers camped
n the park last year and held their
meetings in the Chautauqua building,
4 privilege which would again be Of
Tered this year. The annual reunion
will be held about April 10.

Gas Fire Whistle
To Replace Bell

Ashland is to have probably the

operated by soda wate' gas. II
sounds gassy but it's the truth.
When il became necessary to tear
down the fire bell tower to make
room for the new ChautGuQua audi

new location for the fire alarm and
decided that the top of thu city hall
would he as good as any Then 4

and as a result siX-inch whistle
that VIII awaken the echoes for sew
eral miles is being placed OIL the city
Ian and will be operated by the mech
anism which now rings the fire bell,
And here comes the sassy part.
The whistle will be operated by gas
from the Cunningham well. A two
inch pipe limo was laid Saturday con-
Meeting with the gas line which comes
in from the well to Lithia park, The
gas is pumped into Ashland under
heavy pressure and will make the
whistle screech like lost soul in
distress.

Squirrel Poison
Ready 7for''F farmers

F. r. Garlough, assistant in the
biological survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture has been
engaged for the past two or three
days in preparing the poisoned barley
and will probably he kept busy for
several days to come. A quantity OF
the poisoned grain is ready for dis
tribution and can be obtained at the
Rogue River Fruit & Produce Asso-
citation. By having one central mix
ing plant it has been possible to pre-
pare this poison at minimum cost.
The price to the farmers will be g
cents per pound, cash on delivery.
Existing organizations should ar
range to distribute this poisoned
grain from some central PLACE that
Will be most accessible to their mem
bers. Districts that are not already
organized should do so ST once in
order to handle this in the most sys-
tematic manner.
For assistance in the organization

in one Of the Interurban cars, toured
the valley last Friday afternoon In a
most effective demonstration adver-

bration, and the occupants w6ro
decked out with roundup costumes
and loaded up with roundup yells,
which were turned loose for the bene-
tit of Medford. Talent, Phoenix and
Central Point. The affair was also
somewhat Of a celebration over the
success of the Chautauqua project.
and signs calling attention to the July
Chautauqua assembly were also in
evidence.
The demonstration was the most
successful of its kind ever pulled off
in the valley and effectively i'm
pressed the ncighboring cities with
the fact that Ashland is going to have
the greatest celebration OF all this
year.
Ashland's neighbors are co-operat-
ing with this city in A harmonious
manner In celebration plans and no

ing to help boost along the celebra-
tion.
The noighboring cities and the vari-
Gus scenic attractions OF southern

tees expect hundreds of automobile
parties who will wish to visit Crater

"HiaS Chuck and
"Hiyu He He''

"Hias Chuck" and "Hiyu He He"
has been selected by the general cele-
bration committee as the official per-
manent name for the Ashland cele-
bration. It is hoped to make the Has
Chuck as distinctive as is the New
Orleans Mardi Gras, SO that whenever
anyone hears Has Chuck they will
think of Ashland. "Hias Chuck" is
from the Chinook jsrgon of the In
dians and means very good waters
or big waters. "Hiyu He He," which
is more likely to become the yell
of the roundup and celebration,
means great big good time" or "lots
of fun" In advertising the two ex-
pressions will be used and together
make n rythmical slogan which rolls
of the tongue like water bubbFng out
of the lithia spring.
The name was submitted by Mrs.
G. w. Loosely, who wins the prize Of
fered by the celebration committee.
The Loosleys arc southern Oregon
pioneers and have spent most of their
lives near. the Indians. I'm fact, -
Mrs. Loosely says, "Mr. Loosely could
talk Chinook before he could talk
English" Mr.. Loosely wes employed
as police and Mrs. Loosely taught on
the klamath Indian reservation for
six years.
Chinook jargon is the universal
language of the Indian tribes and is
understood by all Indians of no mat
ter what tribe. The words are very
flexible and inclusive in meaning and
"Hias Chuck Hiyu He He is broad
enough to cover the great big good
time which awaits overy visitor to
Ashland on July 3. and 3. The
words are pronounced phonetically
Just as you read them and the Indians
give them rolling cadence which is
bound TO be initiated.
Remember after this to call the
Ashland celebration the Has Chuck
and Hiyu He He.

AShland'S Red
Cross Auxiliary

week" in a most appropriate way by
organizing, at meeting held at the
PRESBYTERIAN church, local auxiliary
of the American National Red Cross.
William W. Hush, field agent for the
Pacific division Of the American Red
Cross, formed an auxiliary In Medford
last Friday; but 1t was due to the
enterprise of five of our own citizens,
who were in attendance al the Med
ford meeting, that he was persuaded
to be in Ashland yesterday. Hon. E.
V. Carter acted as chairman Of the
meeting, introducing Mrs. Elmore,
who keyed her audience to the proper
pitch of patriotic enthusiasm by her
beautiful rendition of 1.-The Star Span
gled Banner" The chairman then
briefly outlined the purpose for which
We had come together, and presented
the speaker of the day, VIM. H. Hush.
MIR. Hush said that he did not claim
to be a public speaker, that he re-
garded himself merely as "bureau
of information" concerning the Red
Cross Society. However, he spoke to
such good purpose that it was at once
determined to start an auxiliary here.
Rev. Mr.. Carnahan made q motion to
this effect, which was carried. The
chairman then appointed a nominat-
ing committee, consisting = Rev. Mr..
Carnahan, Mr.. Mccoy, Mrs. Graham,
Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Eubanks.
Pending the report of the committee,
Mr.. Carpenter OF Medford was asked
by the chairman to address the meet
ing. This he did briefly, promising us
the hearty cooperation OF the Med
ford auxiliary.
The nominating committee handed
in the following list of officers for
our local branch of the Red Cross;
Chairman, H. L. Whited; first vice
chairman, Miss Lillian Patterson;
second vice-chairman, Mrs. S. B. Nc
Nair: secretary, Miss Winifred Wat
son; treasurer, G. G. Eubanks. On
motion, the report was duly adopted
Four men, appointed by the chair
then circulated among the audience,
securing the signatures of those de-
string to join the Red Cross. Ninety
four names were given in Though
this is noble beginning, il ought to
form merely the nucleus for large
local organization, numbering at
least two or three hundred.
The annual fees range from mini
mum of 81 to 81. s. and SO. All
but the minimum include, also, a
years subscription to the Red Cross
Magazine.
The need for our gifts and aid is
pressing and immediate. In case OF
war. it Is said that. should our
wounded pour in in such numbers as
from the western front in Europe, the
bandagcs now ready in the reserves
of the American National Red Cross
would last but twenty-four hours.
Patriotism urges us all to do our
utmost in this hour of need, and in
stead of considering the Red Cross
only as a vaguely splendid organiza-
ton, from which VIC. buy stamps for
Christmas packages, we should, one
and all, accord it the vital Importance
and the generous support that 1t so
amply deserves.
All citizens are eligible tn member
ship. and all are invited to become
members. Leave your name with 81
with any of the above named officers
or with any bank in the city, and a
certificate of membership will be for
warded to you. '' y

braces were cut and with a crash
which brought crowd of spectators
the building collapsed. Tho timbers
will be used in making forms for the
concrete walls of the new auditorium
hut little else of the material can be
used.
Built In 1903.
The tabernacle, which has served
the needs of the assembly so well,
was erected in the year 1898. The
history of the purchase of the Chau-
tauoua grounds and the erection OF
the building is one of live effort and
cooperation which bcspeaks the
spirit of the times.
From Central Point.
The original Southern Oregon
Chautauqua was located near Cen
tral Point. which in those days was
one of the big towns of the county.
The assembly was held in tent at
location where water and shade
were almost totally lacking. When
a number of AshlGnders, led by g. F..
Billings and J. S. Smith. sought to
get the 9sosciation to hold the assem-
bly, at Ashland anl promised grounds
and building, things began to move.
Built In Five Days.
Late in June the Ashland Chau-
tauoua members got busy, purchased
the ChautauquG park property from
F. Roper and, enlisting tho aid OF
the public-spirited folks of the CITY,
built the original Chautauqua taber-
nacle IN five days of actual labor.
The building was completed on the
evening of July 4 and was ready for
the assembly which convened at
o'clock the next afternoon. The eX-
ecutive committee which handled the
matter was composed of j. S. Smith,
