Big Gold Nugget
Found in Road Fill

Frank Bailey, one of the force
working on the Billings undergrade
crossing north of Ashland, unearthed
a gold nugget while shoveling dirt
from the fill Saturday afternoon,
which weighs over three ounces. Its
appearance when Bailey first saw it
was that of large brass button, and
his first inclination was to let it go
with the shovelful of dirt down the
embankment, but second inspection
revealed the nature of the find and
he secured it. The nugget is nearly
circular in form and has the appear
ance of having been nodded. Bailey
las refused an offer of s100 for his
prize.
For some time the men working
there had been noticing indications
Of pay dirt" as the excavation is
made in the territory where in the
early days much gold had been
mined, although just at this point no
prospecting has been made. The mug
get is on exhibition in the window
of Whited's jcwelry store and is at
tracing much attention.

While the plans of the new owner

California Cattle
Starving on Range

The drouth that has prevailed in
all parts of California during the past
year has become so serious that many
stockmen are seeking grazing lands
in various parts of southern Oregon
for winter pasturage for cattle. Ac-
cording to the Roseburg Review, j.
\. Armstrong of Salinas, Cal, and
]. e. Pelton, who operates in that
section and in northern klamath
county, are searching for a pasture
for the formers 1000 head of cattle.
Mr.. Armstrong brings word of
driest conditions in all parts of Cali
fornia, where the drouth aspect has
become so acute that many thou
sands of cattle are actually too thin
to withstand the hardships of a
train trip to the green hills of this
section, while thousands are dying.
Mn Armstrong has met with fair
degree of success in his search for
growing forage, which he wishes
rather than hay, and upon complet-
ing his quest will return to Salinas
and start the shipments of cattle
northward.
Grover Neil, another California
stockman, connected with the stock
buying firm of Allen & Pyle, is in
Roseburg also, and is engaged in the
same undertaking as Mr.. Armstrong.
The aim of both gentlemen is to Sc
cure winter pasturage for grade
Hereford and Durham cattle. which
will he sold to local landowners in
the spring at prices commensurate
with the times.
This course has been adopted as
an alternative to maintaining these
herds in California, where the hills
are bare and the valleys scorched,
while the lightest supply of snow in
the mountains since the settlement
OF California gives no hope for relief
during the present season in the mat
ter of forage production.

First American Transport Is Sunk
Talent OrchardiStS
Will Raise Alfalfa

John Beeson, one of the prominent
ranch and stock men of the Talent
district, was in Ashland Wednesday
on business. Mr.. Beeson and his
brother, Welborn Beeson, have al
ready started farming in that section
On an extensive scale. They have
leased large tracts of land in the Vi
cinity of Talent which they will oper-
ate this year, and will be employers
of quite an army of laborers during
the coming spring and summer.
According TO Mr.. Beeson, the south
ern section OF the valley will take on
an unusual Industrial impetus from
present indications. Hundreds OF
acres planted to orchards are being
denuded of the trees and the land
turned into vast alfalfa fields which
will afford better returns at the pres
eat conditions than fruit The Tai
ent Orchard Company will this year
put about so acres into alfalfa. OF
this ten acres will be taken from the
old Pellet orchard, the orchard that
started the boom in apple raising in
that territory Another orchardist
who will strip 60-foot tract of its
fruit trees for farming purposes is
G. A. Morse at what is known as the
old Anderson farm.
While fruit is good and brings re-
n.unerative returns, the present con-
ditions demand hay and grain in such
quantities that more land is being
devoted to these products this year
than ever before.
THE Talent district has unusually
bright prospects, not only for the
coming season but for the future, )"
Mr.. Beeson said. with the irriga-
tion project an almost certainty the
Rogue River valley has the promise
OF being a great stock-raising center,
better by far than the famous Shasta
valley, which has only one market to
draw from-San Francisco. This
valley has Portland as well as San
Francisco, which gives greater oppor-
tunities to stock raisers. Already
large herds Of cattle are being pas
tured by farmers in the Talent dis
trict belonging to outside parties, and
from present indications others will
be sent in also. We have every
reason to think that 1918 will see a
wonderful increase in business in our
section of the valley, which will be
a steady healthy growth in activities
without taking on the complexion of
a BOOM"

Anderson Heirs
Give Worthy Gift

The Southern Oregon Chautauqua
Association has been enriched by a
generous gift by the Anderson heirs
Of the old Park Hotel property which
Immediately adjoins the Chautauqua
building and is situated between the
First National Bank and the Chau-
tauqua grounds.
Sore years ago upon the death of
Il. K. Anderson it was found that he
lad bequeathed a sum of money to
the Chautauqua association for the
purpose Of erecting memorial arch
at the entrance to the Chautauqua
grounds, but after frequent discus
sions of the matter between the An
Gerson heirs and the Chautauqua as
sociation it was unanimously decided
by all parties concerned that in view
of the new conditions arising out of
! changes made in the erection of new
buildings, the bequest could be made
to serve a better purpose for the
Chautauqua and at the same time be
more fitting memorial. Ever since
the erection of the new building,
which brought it into such a close
proximity to the old Park Hotel, it
has been the unanimous desire of the
Chautauqua board to purchase the
hotel property so that the building
might be- out of the way and to make
it possible to beautify all the grounds
around the Chautauqua building, but
the funds for the purchase could not
be obtained, as the price of the prop
erty until recently had been held at
such high figure that there was
nothing within reach of the associa-
tion with which to buy it,
About four months ago Mrs. Hern-
don, the owner of the property, ap-
preached NJ. c. Reed, the president
of the association, offering the prop
erty at $4,000. Mr.. Reed frankly
stated that the association desired
the property, as had been expressed
by the members of the board. but
that there was not sufficient funds
with which to buy at that time. He
requested that she keep in touch with
the association as something might
turn up that would make it possible.
A few days ago Mrs. Herndon adver-
tlsed the property for sale at re-
markably low figure, and the matter
was Immediately taaen up with the
anderson heirs by C. B. Lamkin, rep
resenting the association, and the
deal was quickly consummated, as
this was Just the very thing which
they most desired.
The Anderson heirs decided the
property to the association. The pa
pers were made out Tuesday morning
by E. ID. Briggs, attorney for the as
sociation, and all legal matters care
fully attended to. The Anderson
hers will beautify the ground and
erect suitable memorial.

Ashland Normal An
Important Measure

The order issued from the Oregon
Normal School the first of the week
asking to be notified what to expect
in the way of furnishing teachers
next fall shows the great need in the
state for instructors, especially in the
rural districts, and should awaken
the people in this section as we'll as
II eastern Oregon to the needs of two
more normal schools where more
teachers can be fitted for this work.
The necessity of this is becoming
more, apparent each year, and the
lack of proper training for teachers
ia serious deficiency to which the
people of southern Oregon should be-
gin to take notice.
That Medford will do her part in
behalf of the measure to be voted
upon to provide two more normal
schools at the coming election is evil
denced by the following excerpt from
the Medford Sun:
"All southern Oregon should real
ize the Importance of this effort; as,
also, should eastern Oregon. The one
school at Monmouth, good though 1t
Is, can serve only a limited field.
The experience here, as in every state
of the Union, demonstrates that with
out nearby opportunity for the nor
nal training of teachers, the rural
and grade schools suffer"
