Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-03-19
of Grand Forks, now of Rochester,

OF Grand Forks, now of Rochester,
MINI.
There are residents throughout the
valley from every state in the Union.
To those who have not been for
tunate enough to visit tho west,
would like to tell something of the
valley" in which your former fellow
townsmen live. "The Valley of the
Moon" the late Jack London called
it, when he passed through several
years ago seeking material for his
famous novel Of that name.
Bright and early, one spring
morning, our party trotted briskly
along the country road on our Indian
ponies, exclaiming with delight at
the beauty of the surrounding coun-
try as viewed from a different angle
at each new turn of the road. Finally
we spied a signboard TO Roxy Ann
which was our destination. We
turned and passed through gate
way into an immense orchard tract
which seemed like a wonderful fairy
land, with row after row Of fruit
trees spread out before us, laden with
pink and white blossoms filling the
air with fragrant perfume.
1--WE rode on through Cherry Row
so named from tho cherry trees
planted in a row on each side Of the
road and extending for a distance of
about a mile. We soon reached the
foothills and began the ascent to
Roxy Ann. Up, up through the pine
timber we rode, breathing The piny,
pungent odor OF the newly cut pine
wood, piled in neat rows along the
'Oadside.
About noon we reachel the end
uf the wagon trail, where he tied our
ponies and camped and fred our ba
con and boiled our coffee over a
campfire. Lato in the afternoon we
proceeded on foot, picking our way
over rocks and through brush until
we reached the summit Of the noun
tain. We stopped to rest near a great
oak tree and amused ourselves read
ing the names carved thereon. Sud-
denly my eyes rested on a familiar
name, and the address read Mime
apolis, Mimi could almost imag-
inc myself seated again in the 'Tele-
phone Exchange, calling Hello!
Hello! Minneapolis! for the name
was that Of a Minneapolis business
man for whom we received numerous
long distance calls, and whose Hello!
I'm here, Fargo came over the wires
many times a day. It made one feel
that the whole world seemed kin
"Near the tree was a pile of large
rocks, upon which we mounted. And
o! what a sight met our eyes! Way
off to the east rose snow-clad Mount
Mclaughlin, gold crowned from the
setting sun. Far to the south lay
snow-clad Mount Ashland, which one
member of the party in her enthusi-
asm likened to the Switzerland OF
Italy. We did have to stretch our
imagination to know that the Alps
of Switzerland was what she meant
And just beyond, as though peeping
over Mount Ashland's shoulder, we
caught a glimpse of snow-capped
Mount Shasta. Standing out to plain
view was huge Pilot Rock, gigantic
rock used as a guide-post by the
pioneers when travelling over the

WILL PLAY CENTER
Fritz O'Marra Will Fill New Position
On Tufts College Nine

The many friends of Fritz O'Marra
of Tufts College, the clever little south
paw pitcher Of the Augusta Trolley
Lcagu" Of last season, will be greatly
pleased to learn that Jack Slattery
coach of Tufts has decided to let
Fritz have his WAY and play in center
field this season. Fritz. when not pitch
ing, always played in the field for hu-
CuStH, and the fans will remember that
he was not only one OF the heaviest
hittcrs on the team but one Of the most
timely. and as a fielder had no Supe-
ilior in the Trolley League. Many of
his throws from deep center field to
the plate were peaches and his base
running was Of tue finest kind. The
Augusta fans will watch with much in
tercst Fritz work with Tufts. Tho fol-
lowing clipping from the Boston Her
aid of ~ recent date will be of interest
to his many friends in Augusta:
In all probability the pitching staff
will he built up around Fritz O'Marra,
the stocky little southpaw, whose work
on the Southern trip last year earned
the title Of the Iron Man of Tufts"
if he consents 10 do any box work this
year. II is rumored that he will try
for an outficld position, declaring that
he is through with the pitching game
O'Marra has big league ambitions and
realizes that his size would be a great
drawback in the pitching department.
He is noted for his heavy hitting and
fielding ability and with this in mind
he has decided to quit the pitching
game, for the outfield. 1t is thought
that Wescott will be shifted from his
old position in center field to left, in
order to give O'Marra a chance TO play
in center. O'Marra is left handed
which makes it practically impossible
for him to cover left field to the best
of his ability, and as he is one of the
heaviest hitters on the team this
change will probably be made for his
benefit"

Use Cocoanut Oil
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in good

with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the

rensivc soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing. as this cant posi-
bly, iniuro the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub 1t in. one or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather. aud cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily,
and removes every particle of dust. dirt.
dandrtid aud excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves it
fno aud silky, bright. fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mustcd cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap
and q few ounces is enough to last every
one IN the family for months.-Adv.
