Arrested Man
Not Guilty

Lloyd B. Johnston of Grants Pass
was taken from one of the conscript
trains Tuesday evening by Southern
Pacific Officer Atterbury, on the
charge of not registering when he
was of a draft age. He was lodged
in the local bastile Tuesday night.
An investigation was made Wednes-
day. It appears he was broke in San
Francisco and boarded one of the
drafted mems trains. The officer in
charge of the train did not notice
him until after several eating sta
tions had been passed and Johnston
had no meal ticket. The officer
promptly looked into the matter and
when Johnston could not produce a
registration card he was turned over
to Mr.. Atterbury when the train
reached Ashland.
The local officers later found that
he had registered but had lost his
registration card. He was released
and advanced SO in cash after he had
given a good watch and chain as Sc
curity.

Farmers to Arrest
Careless Hunters

Many farmers In the territory sur
rounding Ashland, and particularly
those living on the Pacific Highway
east of the city, are being continually
molested by men who insist on shoot
ing at game birds and animals from
the road. Several farmers have re-
ported instances of extreme careless
ness on the part Of passersby in
shooting at digger squirrels, birds,
ETC., and in doing so endangered the
lives of all living creatures nearby.
The following section of the state
law deals with the matter: Chapter
232. Section 22, state laws of Oregon:
1t shall be unlawful at any time In
the state Of Oregon to shoot or dis
charge any gun at any game bird or
game animal from or while upon any
railroad, right of way, or any public
road or highway"
It would be well for hunters to no
tice this section of the law, as these
farmers have determined to arrest
and prosecute all offenders.

Soldiers Stop Here
On Way East

The 3rd Oregon infantry, excepting
Company G and the several other
companies which remain In the state
on guard duty, passed through the
city at o'clock Wednesday morning
en- route from Clackamas to the big
cantonment at Camp Green, Char
lotte, N. c. The train was divided
into two sections. The early morning
section was composed of companies
I and X, the regimental band and
headquarters staff. Colonel May, for
mer Ashlander, was In charge Of the
train. It stopped but for a short
while in Ashland.
The second section arrived about 4
o'clock 1t was composed of about
100 men Of the quartermaster corps
and details of men from different
companies. The train was composed
chiefly of freight cars containing
supplies. The men were allowed
few hours stay in Ashland and en-
ioyed the park thoroughly during the
stop here. They were all clean-cut,
quiet, orderly young Americans, an
example of what military training
will do for the undisciplined drafted
men who passed through the city re-
Gently.

Local Share For
War Library Small

The local library board report
there has been but SIG contributed
to the war library fund In Ashland
so far in the campaign. Ashland's S
share is $3.50. The board thought
that it would be unnecessary to re-
sort to a house to house solicitation
to get Ashland's share of the fund,
as there are so many people in the
city who take an active interest in
the local library, but unless the citi-
zens respond more energetically
within the next few days they must
fall back on this resort as a means of
raising Ashland's quota. Practically
every city in the state has responded
quickly to the need. The latest re-
port from the state shows that $2,-
421.50 of the states quota of $45,-
900 has been raised Portland S
share, in the sum already raised is
$1,000; Roseburg, $94; Astoria,
$2459; Eugene. s146.5O; The Dalles,
$116; Baker, $500.
The local people can make their
contributions at the library, at Mayor
Lamkin's office, with G. G. Eubanks
or with any member of the local
board.

The drafted men who made up the
last train of conscripts which passed
through the city Tuesday evening evil
IDENTIFY thought they were to be made

entanglements, etc., at the front and
that they should start training early,
for they left the depot district look
ink like a section of mo Mans
Land" A huge counter and display
stand which occupied a space near
Curtis restaurant were picked up and
deposited one on a main part of the
street and the other on the depot plat
form; a long piece of new railroad

with several parts of baggage truck,
to say nothing of several this way

which were pried from their places
and used in decorating the various
cars of the train.

opment of Gold Hills industries will

Library Receives
Food Saving Manuals

The public library today received
from the National Emergency Food
Garden Commission of Washington a
bundle of storage manuals for distri-
button in the food-saving campaign
These manuals are free and addition
al copies can be had by readers Of
this paper by writing to Charles Lath-
rop Pack, president of the National
Emergency Food Garden Commits
sion, 21O-220 Maryland building,
Washington, D. c.
The commission has been conduct
ing a nationwide food-saving cam
paign since last March and is now
offering $1,000 in prizes for the best
canned vegetables grown in war gar
dens. This has resulted in the or
ganization of war garden exhibits
throughout the country. P. S. Rids-
dale, the secretary of the commits
sion, says there are still few prizes
and national certificates of merit to
be apportioned to this state, and that
officials Of war garden exhibits or
fairs should communicate with the
commission at once.
A close estimate, based on early
reports to the commission, says the
women Of the country have placed
AGO, 100000 jars of canned stuff on
the pantry shelves this year and that
all food conservation records have
been broken

Sale Of Blue Ledge
Mine Falls Through

Mail Tribune: The sale of the
Blue Ledge mine to the Ladysmith
smelter syndicate, pending for sew
eral months. has fallen through, ac-
cording to word from the purchasing
syndicate, who desired the mine on
account of the fluxing character Of
the ore for use in the smelter. Had
the sale materialized 1t was the in
tention to do extensive development
work to ascertain whether the ore
body was sufficient to justify a rail-
road. In the meantime the county
would be assisted in road construc-
tion and ore hauled by truck.
The reason of the failure to make
the deal Is given as the imposition
of such onerous terms and condi-
tions" by the Towne estate, owners
of the property, that negotiations
we're abandoned for the purchase of
the property. The presumption of
copper mining in the Towne proper
ties In Mexico is said to have made
the owners Indifferent as to whether
the Blue Ledge was sold or not.
The failure of the deal is a disap-
pointment to local mining interests,
as a sale meant the development Of
the mine upon a large scale and the
eventual building of a railroad. The
prospective purchasers are high-class
developers and not spectators, and
their advent would have resulted in
the development of a successful min
ing district.

Dunbar's famous White Hussars, a
singing band numbering nine people,

ment at the auditorium Saturday ev-
ening will be treated to full even
ing novelty vaudeville and musical
program which will be highly pleas
ing.

booked on short notice, 1t was i'm
possible to receive their excellent
line of advertising matter which is
generally used previous to their ap-
pearance.

dies. Six hundred seats Immediately
in front of the stage are now on sale
at Rose brothers, at S5 cents, all 9th

Big Grain Shippers
Get First Service

The western carriers, in discussing
ways and means of properly handling
the great grain crop of the west, in
the face of the ever-increasing de-
mand for cars, are said to be confer
ring upon plan for the full use of
all available equipment in a manner
calculated to be of the best advan-
tage to the people at large.
The roads are expected shortly to
notify shippers that they will refuse
to allow light loading of grain, and
that all things being equal, the man
who loads to 10 per cent capacity
will get first service of available cars.
This policy will be justified on the
ground that the roads have no right
to deprive shippers Of grain Of an
adequate part Of the car supply be-
cause some other shipper elects to
use two cars when one would suffice.
Freight traffic men explain that
shippers who are obeying the gov
ernment's advice to load to full ca
pacity are demanding that the car
riers meet their demand ahead of the
man who PERSIST in wasting space,
contending that by doing so the larg-
est amount Of business and the great
est number Of shippers will be pro-
vided for.
The practice of furnishing cars up
on demand is likely to be superseded,
It is said. by the shippers informing

Camps Raided;;
No Booze Found

Special Agent R. @. Porter and as
sistants raided two camps in the Sis
kiyous of employees engaged in work
on the Pacific Highway, Tuesday
The raid was without result as far
as finding any liquor concealed in the
camps, A number of foreigners,
mostly Italians, are employed on the
highway work, and the authorities
have known for some time Of their
having liquor. In fact, there have
been several disturbances in the
camps because of drinking.
AS the camp contained no booze,
the officers feel confident that the
liquor is cached on the nearby noun
tain sides.
