AshIand'S Great Patriotic
Demonstration and Roundup

Ashland's big three days Of JOY,
patriotism, pyrotechnic and bronco
busting has come and gone and, all
things considered, was the biggest
success in the history CT the city. Of
course, there are those who always
measuring successes by the dollars
that Immediately roll into their purse
without effort, will complain that it
cld not make money, but it did holl
the day. 1t did bring at least SO coo
o. money to town. 1t did dem
cnstrate again that Ashland not only
.c the best place in the state of Ore
.on for a celebration Of the kind,
lu, to hundreds of strangers visiting
the city for the first time, the i'm
pressions that make for town build
ing were a distinct gain.
The fact that, Notwithstanding
the war conditions a crowd more than
bali as large as the two years previ-
Gus attended this year, when hun
Greds of cities with less courage and
enterprise are abandoning efforts
previously put forth because of war
depletions and war depressions,
should leave a unanimous feeling of
encouragement and success.
The Roundup proved to he what it
was advertised to he, the biggest and
Lest yet staged in Ashland. Every
ody was satisfied with the show.
The Ashland Amusement association
Is to be congratulated and commend
ed for the splendid effort and, al
though it did not prove a financial
success, the deficit aggregating about

Confetti Battle
Afforded Much Fun

As if to make the most of the last
hours of the big celebration last week
a large crowd of merry-makers
th"onged the streets Saturday night
and took part in the confetti battle
that was waged until a late hour.
This was one of the greatest fun-mak-
ers of the whole celebration, and
everyone received the showers of con-
letti good-naturedly, and strove to re-
taliate whenever the chance occurred.
The carnival concessions were well
patronized during the evening, while
the various dance halls in the city
we're thronged until the stroke of l2,
which ended the three days festiyi-
ties.
Saturday was rather quiet through
out the day. With the exception of
the Roundup, no set program of
emusemonts was planned by the man
agement. During the afternoon many
out-of-town guests arrived to be
ready for the fun of the evening.

At Crater Lake Park

Crater Lake national park, reports
that the travel in that resort is un-
usually heavy for this time of year
Where two or three cars entered the
park last Fourth, this year there
we're SO autos and $50 people at the
lake Thursday
They have been troubled with
two rather bad forest fires, one on
the Medford side and one on
his side of the mountain, but they
were finally gotten under control be-
fore any serious damage was done.
At the time one of the fires was
discovered there was not sufficient
number of park employees to handle
the work, and it was necessary to
press number of tourists into th9
service. Mr.. Sparrow says that they
entered into the work with a spirit
and proved very able fire fighters.

This was presided over by E. V. Car

A, Edwards pronounced the invoca-

Throughout thesrest of the after

ran in more quiet directions, -ema.n-
cd in the park listening TO the band

picnic parties were scattered among
the trees IN the park, and the day
was one Of meeting and greeting of

The evening sports consisted Of
dancing in the Armory, the Natato--
ium and the Bungalow, listening to
the band concerts in the park, while
late in the evening a huge assem-

Altogether the celebration was one
Cf huge enjoyment, and while war
conditions prevented many from par
t'cipating with their usual layishneSs,
the crowd attending the festivities
was as large as the city could com
fortably accommodate.

Normal School Tag
Day Held Thursday

Tags bearing the legend, I'm not
o Stacker, I'm a normal school back
er," were much in evidence on the
street throughout the Fourth of July
celebration last Thursday. A COM
mittee of energetic women have been
costing the normal campaign, and
took this unique way of augmenting
the fund for campaigning the normal.
A neat little sum was raised in
this manner, most of the roundup and
Fourth of July visitors being glad
to donate the trifling sum of ten
cents for this worthy project.
The various districts in the county
were designated by different colored
tags and these districts were well
patronized by the residents, although
no penalty was attached to the wearer
of several different colored tags.

Drafted Men Were
Pleased With CITY

Luncheon was served Monday noon
by the Civic club to a large body Of
drafted men coming from California
to Camp Lewis where they will be
Installed among Uncle Sans Hun
firbters. The men arrived shortly
after 1880 and about filled the din
inc room in the Elks temple. An eff
f.cient corps of walters had every
thing in readiness for the troops
who were seated and served with as
much order and lack Of confusion as
If the occupation of table waiting
was an everyday occurrence, The ia
bles we're beautifully decorated with
huge bouquets Of roses, and at each
plate was rose.
This is the best meal we have re-
coived so far was a universal eX.
preston of the boys as they left the
rooms. They seemed especially CRATE
full for the attentions and courtesies
bestowed upon them, and many re-
marked that when they return from
licking the kaiser" they are going
to stop in Ashland.
One japanese boy among the draft
ed men slipped a sum of money into
Rev. p. X. Hammonds hand as the
boys passed out, saying that he want
ed to give that to the Red Cross,
another insisted upon paying for his
luncheon, and when told that the
government made good their expenses
he left some money for the good of
the cause" as he remarked.
During the course of the luncheon
Mrs. Julia Hockett sang several war
songs which met with hearty appre-
citation by the boys.
An equally large number Of drafted
men were fed at the Depot hotel also
Monday.
