Noticeable Changes
Among Local Boys

Many changes have been made
lately among the Ashland boys who
are in the United States service. Cap
tain Clyde Malone, adjutant in the
Coast Artillery service, has recently
been assigned to new duties at Seat
tie, the change being in the nature
of another promotion. Word has
been received that Charles Brady,
gunner of the first class, has sailed
from New York on the Pueblo, bound
for some port in France. Ernest
Wick, naval electrician, has been
transferred from the Philadelphia to
the New York navy yard. Lynn
Mowat, electrician, has been trans
ferred to Fortress Monroe, Virginia,
from San Francisco, and will take a
special course at that point. Orville
Hall, naval recruit as engineer, has
been assigned to duties at Philadel-
phia. Other changes noticeable here
are those of Lester Sutton and Lloyd
Turner, who passed through Ashland
two weeks ago en- route to the Texas
aviation fields; Earl Dahuff and
Simeon Drake, from Vancouver, who
Joined a quartermaster's department
in the south.

Enemy Aliens Taken
From Draft Troops

Twenty-siX enemy aliens were dis
charged at Camp Lewis this week.
The process of wedding out the en-
emy aliens is going forward with
considerable dispatch, and every eff
fort is being made to rid the division
of such men.
Rumanian soldiers at Camp Lewis
will be separated in the future from
soldiers of Hungarian and Magyar
birth. The reason is that nearly
every time these soldiers get together
there results a quarrel and some
times a fight. Ancient racial antip-
athy has not vanished from these two
races in the army, and bad feeling
between them at camp shows.
Brigadier- General Frederick s..
Foltz Monday morning posted a bull
letin requiring all company COM
to furnish headquarters
with a list of all Rumanian, Hungar-
ian and Magyar men. After this list
is furnished, headquarters will sepa-
rate the Rumanians from the two en-
emy races in the interest Of camp
harmony.

know one of the Ashland boys by
sight took as much patriotic pride in
mingling with the assembly and pa
tiently waited for about two hours
for the trains to appear. The Ash
land band was present and greeted
the trains as they rolled into the sta
ton. Flags of the allied nations
were strung about the grounds, and
that entire portion of the city took on
gala attire, in honor of the Oregon
troops and our own Ashland boys
who were on their way to the call to
duty.
The Soldiers Auxiliary and the
Maccabees had prepared baskets of
good things for the boys to eat which
were presented to them when they
arrived. The Civic Club contributed
boxes of apples; Buffers confection-
cry sent quantities of candy; Mrs G.
G. Eubanks presented every soldier
with a bouquet of violets, while every
family as we'll as many friends who
had soldier boy on the train was
loaded down with parcels and baskets
to give the boys one more taste of
mothers cooking"
Nearly an hour was allowed here
for the boys to. greet their families
and the hosts of friends who were
present. They were a splendid pic
ture of young fighting manhood,
these Oregon boys, glad and proud to
answer their country's call The drill
ing and routine of army life had Won
derfully developed their characters as
well as physically, and Ashland had
cause to be proud, not only of her
own gift to her country, but of the
500 Representatives of the state.
incidentally it might be mentioned
that the soldiers on the train were
not the only heroes present. Prob
ably many hearts ached, and many
pillows were wet with tears last
night, but the parents, sisters, sweet
hearts and friends greeted their SOL
diers with mirth and good cheer and
sent them on their journey with
smiles and good wishes. The boys,
too, were CHEEKY and brave, and
passed out of sight as if going on a
pleasure trip, as only an American
mother could wish her boy. to do.
The contingentSwas bound for San
Francisco, where they will train for
a time, after which it is expected they
will leave for a port on the eastern
coast, en- route to France.

Murder Trial Held
at County Seat

The trial of William Butler, the
Eagle Point ranc6er who is charged
with killing Donald Stewart October
30, is in progress at Jacksonville this
week. Important points were
brought out by the state yesterday
to show that Butler fired at least five
shots while Stewart fired three, that
he seemed entirely unconcerned by
the tragedy and showed no disposi
tion to aid his victim as he lay on the
hillside slowly bleeding to death.
The states principal witness is
Deputy Sheriff Paul Anderson, who
testified that he was called to the
telephone by Butler about 8 o'clock.
Butler said he had shot man and
asked Anderson to come at once. He
arrived at the place of the shooting
about II o'clock and said Butler met
him and seemed entirely cool and
Stewart was lying under
an oak tree, his head lower than his
feet and seemed very weak, but as
the wound was in his leg he never
his condition was serious.
Upon examination, however, 1t was
decided to secure a doctor rather than
run the risk of moving the wounded
man. When he returned with DR..
Holt of Eagle Point, Stewart was
dead.
On cross-examination Anderson ad-
mitted that when Butler telephoned
he explained that the man had fired
at him twice and then he fired back,
and the point was also brought out
by Attorney Boggs that Butler was in
.he open and exposed while Stewart
was behind a tree surrounded by 9TH
er trees.
During the trial Butler showed
great interest, writing instructions to
ais attorney frequently and following
,yery statement with great care. He
has his ten-year-old daughter sitting
lear him in the court room but he
never spoke to her nor she to him.

Clubs Will Receive
Special Aid in Work

According to recent agreement
between the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege and our county school superin-
tendent, the college will give special
aid for carrying on club work in
Jackson county during the spring
and summer. BY the arrangement
the o. A. G. will pay salary and trav-
cling expenses of Supervisor r. h.
Morris for two entire months, thus
saving the county an expense item OF
approximately $266.66 Club work
in the past has been carried on in
many counties largely by the county
superintendent, assisted by one or
more supervisors. A few counties,
however, not employing supervisors
have been able to secure aid by
special representative at government
expense. BY the arrangement in our
county the college will help pay part
of the expense of the supervisor,
This is only fair, for considerable Of
his time will be given to that class
of industrial work for which a special
appropriation is made and to which
each county is entitled to its share
Clubs in many of our schools have
been asked to concentrate their en-
ergy in the production Of corn and
pork. Canning work will also be em-
phasized. Since definite plan Of
supervision is being worked out, and
along practical lines too, club work
in Jackson county this year should
mean much to our boys and girls.
The following program has been
worked out and will he given atten-
ton during the dates mentioned;
Organization completed, May |.

Hertling Speech Fails to Drive
Wedge Between Entente Allies

Imperial Chancellor Won Hertling
has failed to drive a wedge between
the entente allies by his reply to
President Wilson. The German dec
laration has come at a time when
German acts belle its words, and
Paris and London have officially re-
jected any proffers of the olive
branch that the more hopeful people
saw in the acceptance by the chan
cellor of some of the principles put
forth by President Wilson,
Arthur J. Balfour, British foreign
secretary, sounded the keynote of the
allies when, speaking at London, he
said that until German militarism
was thing of the past" and there
came into existence a court armed
with powers making the weak nations
as safe as the strong, the war must
go on.
Philip Scheidemann, German So
cialist leader, has voiced the protest
of his party to the peace that is be-
ing forced on Russia, In the reichs-
tag he said that Germany must nego-
tiate peace by understanding and
that the independence Of Belgium
must be secured. He said that the
Flemings and Walloons must settle
their own differences.
While the German government is
trying to convince the world of its
disinterestedness in the future of
Russia, the advance of the Teuton
armies toward Petrograd continues,
1t appears that there will be no arm
istice on the Russian front until
peace finally is consummated, In
spite of the claim of the Bolsheviki
government that the Russians were
vigorously fighting for Pskov, the
German forces have pushed forward
to the eastward of that town. The
Germans are said to have reached
Luga, midway between Pskov and

Farmers Offer Pigs
To Club Members

Some exceptionally good offers are
being made to boys and girls who
desire to assist in raising more pork
for Uncle Sans forces, and at the
same time make a good income for
themselves. A number of patriotic
farmers are coming to the aid of our
youngsters by offering them young
pigs at the time they are old enough
to wean, for the market price per
pound now paid for older stock. A
few brood sows are also available
for those who wish to enter that club
project which requires the care and
management of brood SOW and lit
ter from the time the SOW Is bred un-
til the pigs are weaned
j. j. 0ssenbrugge of Ruch, who is
breeder of the famous Poland
China swine, in recent communica-
tion with Superintendent Ager states
that he will have from 20 to 80 thor
oughbred Poland China pigs for sale
to our boys and girls during the next
few weeks. These pigs may be taken
as soon as they are old enough to
wean and the price will be the regu-
lar market price for hogs. This offer
is open only to club members, and
while 1t is desired that the club mem
ber pay for the pigs at the time he
takes them, arrangements are being
made whereby ii will be possible for
one to make payments at later date
IL desired.
Breeders having brood sows or pigs
to sell to club boys and girls are
asked to communicate with Superin-
tendent G. w. Ager, Jacksonville,
and state the number of pigs or
sows, the breed, the price and weight,
also the age of such pigs or hogs and
the time they will be ready for deliv-
cry. An outline of the pork produc-
tion project for our boys and girls is
given below that all may see Just
what is wanted by those taking up
this line of patriotic work:
Pork Promotion Project. Division
II. The care and management of a
brood SOW and litter from the time
the SOW is bred until the pigs are
weaned.
Division II. TIL care and manage
ment 81 one or more pigs intended
for market hogs, from the time
weaned until ready for market.
Division III. The care and man
agement of one or more pure-bred
pigs, either sex, intended for breed
ing purposes, from the time weaned
for period of four months or more.
Each of the above divisions in
cludes the growing of the necessary
feed so far as possible, and provid-
ing the necessary pasture.

Crater Lake Has
Nine Feet Of Snow

Nine feet of snow is reported at
Crater Lake, seven feet at park head
quarters, eight feet at the en-
gineer's camp, and five feet at the
south entrance of the park. This is
the report Alexander Sparrow, super
visor of Crater Lake national park,
brought back after trip. made on
skis to the park last week. Most of
the snow fell .he past fortnight. The
depth is only about one-half that usu-
ally. found in that region at this time
of the year, and, besides, 1t is very
loose and not packed down as in for
mer years, which means that it will
pass away earlier than usual and
make an earlier opening of the park
season.
